Tranverse Mylitis...what, when and where?

To All,

I have had TM for alittle over two years and after being a part of this group
for about the same I have often wondered the what? when? and where? of the
other indivuals in this group. In response I have wondered if others would
like to know the simple facts about others with TM.
Example- 1. What were the symtoms in your first onset of TM? - What are your
symtoms now?
2. When- Did you get TM, (How long have you had TM?)
3. Where- On your spinal cord is the damage (mine is T-10)

There is so little about so much that I have wondered if the injured areas of
the spinal cord responded in the same way for everyone with injury at T-10. I
have recently found that the different sides (dorsal & ventricle) of the
spinal cord where the damaged area may be, have much different symtoms even
though they may be at the same location. T-10 damage is found in many TM
victims yet not all exibit the same problems, I wonder if it has to do with
the way the lession lays (or lies on the cord?

Gosh, I should truly never take a day off or my mind will run amuck, and have
fun.
I just thought the information response may show us who has the same problems
so we can communicate with acurracy to each other.

Kindest regards,
Beth

by the way I still do not have spell check, and I have gotten one more of
those ad's asking me "CAN U LLEPS"
