I am sending this message on behalf of my daughter - Karin Cohick-, who
lives in Oceanside, California, and who does not have e-mail capability.
She has recently been afflicted with Transverse Myelitis, with possible
differential diagnoses of Multiple Sclerosis or a Tumor on the spinal cord.
She has three questions:
(1) Did any members of the Association have difficulty with a diagnosis of
TM with possibility of Multiple Sclerosis or tumor on the spine?
(2) What effects if any have there been from Prednesone (Steroid) treatment?
(3) Does anyone know of any Neurologists who specialize or are
knowledgeable about TM in the San Diego, California, area?
I would appreciate it if you could relay through me (her father) any
information that is available. My daughter's telephone number is
760-439-7551.
