In the year 2000, I suffered a definite new attack in the summer as I was finishing ultrasound school and starting my clinical experience. My left leg again became tingly, somewhat numb, and weak, but this time it extended from my toes all the way up to my hip. At times I felt like I had a lead leg! This went on intermittently for about a month, and I didn’t reveal this information to anyone but my close family members, who also thought it had to do with having had Lyme disease. I had no specific primary doctor at the time, since I believed myself to be relatively well, and my mind went back to the last general practitioner I saw who did no further investigation after the negative EMG (nerve) test. I went on with my ultrasound clinical experience as my left leg eventually returned to “normal.”
