Well, I thought I would post an update as it's been a full three weeks since this annoying sx started.

I'm happy to report that it's almost cleared up! In three weeks my legs and feet have gone from completely numb to almost back to normal. I can feel them and they don't hurt anymore after I've been walking for a while. I haven't taken anything but my LDN. No steroids, no baclofen. I think one night I took Aleve before bed but that had more to do with a headache than with my legs.

I'm walking much better and it no longer feels like I have balloons for feet. My gait is improving daily. I think you're right, Sally. LDN does significantly shorten the flare.

Just thought I'd share some encouraging news!
