Lhermittes

Yes me. Not as rare as they say. Mines got better insofar that’s it’s not painful but I can still feel a sort of fizz. 
Can I recommend acupuncture and xylitol chewing gum for your saliva. 

Hi Dani.  Yes, mine is a sort of fizz.  It’s not painful. So you still have yours at 3 years on?   Has it got better or worse or stayed the same?   I would be interested to hear please. I have started trying the gum.  It’s been too minty before but it does help a bit.  I don’t like chewing it much. I plan to investigate acupuncture, I know lots of you on this site recommend it.  I haven’t felt like sorting these things out until these last few weeks.  It’s on my list to do.  
Thankyou for replying

Hi Lizzie. It’s better. It doesn’t bother me. I hardly notice it. 

Hi Lizzie. We saw our consultants on the same day! Thanks for your message earlier. 
I get Lhermittes when I look down too. Have done for months. I’ve learned to pretty much ignore it as it’s not serious and is not painful. That said, I was quite alarmed when it started. It is very slowly improving. 

Thankyou to both of you for your replies.  It is lovely to know everyone is out there and I am not alone. 

I've never heard of this, and (I'm going off at a tangent again, sorry) did a double take when I saw the name in my notifications, because in 2007 my wife and I bought a painting, as a fortieth birthday present for her, by an artist called André Lhermet. Bought it from the man in person in his studio in Cordes-sur-Ciel, an amazing place; painting now belongs to my son because my wife meant for him to have it one day.

I'm adding nothing to the discussion but just thought I'd share the memory it triggered

That’s a brilliant story Mike. It must have come as a bit if a jolt that notification. Spooky. 

Thankyou 

Did it send tingles down your spine Mike? If so, it’s a genuine Lhermitte!
