I just saw your website and was interested in hearing from other TM's out
there who did NOT have any growths ON the spine and it was NOT caused
from anything viral.
My 77 year old father was just diagnosed with TM and is paralyzed from
mid chest down. After 8 days in the hospital with MRI's, spinal taps,
bone scans and other various tests - they have transferred him to a
Rehabilitation Center where he's trying to gain in strength.

The 6 months prior to this happening (and it was SUDDEN), he had been
suffering from colitus and had a lot of emotional and stressful things
happening in his life.

If anyone can shed any light on the possible CAUSE or CURE . . . . and
chances for recovery, please e-mail me!

Thanks
