You're quite right. I must have done that last year by mistake. I've edited that. Thank you.

My first neurologist diagnosed me with HIV Associated Vacuolar Myelopathy and didn't think I had ALS (less than a year ago). The second neurologist concurred and all the extensive testing was normal. My I.D. doctor thought I had ALS and just recently I went to a neurosurgeon to find out what...

Thank you! I'm going to live until I can't. It might hurt here and there, but I am determined. Thank you for the love.

Wow. I am now in contact with the person I told you all about with the youtube videos. I'm feeling good and upbeat about it all. I'm not leaving this world without a fight. I'm so blessed and I never realized it in the way I do now. Everyday is a blessing and we need to realize what we have...

AngieGal is probably right. I've got the same issues and yesterday I perforated my tongue biting down on it. Ouch. I googled it this morning and had a major panic attack. But it's hard not to google!

I'm experiencing the same thing and I've been informed they are called parasthesia's. What was recommended to me was Cymbalta and/or Gabapentin. I've got myelopathy (spinal cord compression) and it is a neurological manifestation. I couldn't tolerate the Cymbalta and Gabapentin never didn't...
