I am still new at posting and failed to mention in my initial story this:

I can still walk without a cane and can still use my hands and arms. However, I have no feeling anywhere when I stretch.

First it disappeared in the legs and now it has disappeared everywhere. I realized it when I was stretching before getting out of bed one morning about 2 months ago. I keep trying and nothing is happening.

Also while sitting, I know the legs are there but there is no feeling to tell me they are except the creepy crawling twitches.

Another thing, where as my feet use to be ticklish, they are not anymore. Don't get goose bumps anymore either. The stabbing nerve pains I have had from time to time have disappeared. It is like the nerve sensations have all died.

Please, anybody having these problem?

I do have an appointment with an Alabama Lyme doctor week after next. Hoping it is not too late.

Hi nancy! Welcome! I didn't see your other posts. Do you know if you have Lyme or not?

Bumping this up for more responses. Hang in there!!

What? A post got by you??? :-) Unspeakable! I think she had Lyme in the past; wasn't treated long enough (a'course); docs refuse to consider she could have it again and instead are dx'ing her with ALS. And there you go.

Wish I had something helpful to offer, Nancy. There ARE Lyme-literate neurologists around, but they're few and far between ... maybe your LLMD will know one. But it sure sounds to me like you'll have a positive western blot and be in treatment soon and hopefully responding fast.

Fingers crossed for you..

Michelle
