Transverse Myelitis
| The following four articles were written by Dr. Kerr, Director of the Johns Hopkins Transverse Myelitis Center, and provide the best description and explanation of Transverse Myelitis. Three of the articles include a decision flowchart explaining how TM is diagnosed. If you or a loved one is currently hospitalized, we recommend that you print these articles and take them to the emergency physicians or the attending physician.
Whether you are recently diagnosed or have had TM for years, we recommend that you print copies of these articles and provide them to all of the physicians who are treating your TM symptoms. |
