I woke up January 2006 with tingling feeling in feet; progressively the sensation moved up both legs; felt like vicks or deep heat had been rubbed all over my body (a burning sensation); would have dizzy spells; right side got worse; legs would go into spasm after walking too far a distance; I was able to drive; had i feeling like liquid was rushing down the back of my neck when I bent my head forward; I went to see a neurosurgeon plus numerous other doctors. Had lumber punctures and MRI scans tests for major diseases including MS was negative and was told I had Demylinatory Disease (whatever that is) / Virus in my Spinal Cord.  I continued looking for answers to no avail. Was put on to lots of medication but finally took myself off and have been living a normal life filled with gym and eating properly and no medicine only natural vitamins.  The symptoms that I have left is that I cannot walk, run or jump.  Sometimes I get a burning sensation in my feet, my feet feel icy cold.  If I stand too long my legs and lower back lock up so that I can hardly walk.  I cannot walk down stairs or a hill without holding on to someone or something.  I am managing to walk upstairs.  I believe that my condition is triggered off by Stress, so had a relapse a couple of months ago where I could hardly walk but through lots of relaxation managed to get myself mobile again.

Has anyone experienced anything like this?

6 years later I have finally decided to try another Neurosurgeon and see if he can find something else.

I look forward to any replies.

Best wishes
