My reflexes seemed a little slow, but nothing too bad. Finally, the neuro said that if it was a flare, it wasn't bad enough to treat, and sent me home.

About two weeks later, the numb/pain turned into COMPLETELY NUMB. Then the numbness travelled down to my legs. I went back to the neuro when the numbness started affecting my walking. The neuro asked me to walk down the hallway towards him, so he could evaluate my walking.

I did O.K. till I got very close to him...then I tripped, and knocked him over and landed on top of him!

I've never seen my neuro so enthusiastic about writing a script for IVSM!!
