Hello Possum,

It's great that you have made such excellent progress that is really really good; you must feel exhillerated at the steps forward.

I wonder if this is similar to having the sense of touch taken away? I have because of a disorder, large tracts of skin with no hot or cold or any other sensation. And it is as if that part of me (along with others) has forgotten what it feels like to be touched.

Also with childbirth the pain is unique and probably the 2nd most intense pain I've ever felt, but the mind makes the mother "forget" the pain to reduce the trauma and so that she will not have a mental block toward having another child.

Maybe your situation is similar to that?
