The South Carolina / Georgia Transverse Myelitis Online Support Group

We started off as the CSRA Transverse Myelitis Support Group in May 2008, serving only a section of South Carolina and Georgia known as the Central Savannah River Area. Soon after we were established, the TMA began sending us the names of folks from across both states wishing to join. So this year we changed our name to better reflect our two state region.

The goals of the SC/GA TM Support Group are to provide fellowship and support through the sharing of our common experiences, to provide educational information, and to open the doors of communication between patients and our local medical communities.

If you have TM, ADEM or NMO or are the caregiver or family member of a person with one of these disorders, and you live in the state of South Carolina or Georgia, you are invited to join our online group. We are members of the International Transverse Myelitis Association.  In order to set up membership in our group, please send us the following information: full name, complete postal address, phone number, and email address.  Please also let us know if you are the patient, caregiver or family member?

Are you currently a member of The Transverse Myelitis Association? If not, please fill out the membership form from the TMA web site.  You will automatically be enrolled, there are no membership fees and the publications are sent to members without charge.  If you request to have your contact information added to the TMA directory, you will also receive a copy of the membership directory. It is useful in finding other people with TM, ADEM and NMO in your area. Being listed in the directory and receiving the directory is optional; please indicate whether you would like to participate in the directory when you sign up for membership.

As soon as I receive your contact information, I will process your request to join our online support group.
