It would be nice to know whether or not tm was stress related.But,I cannot
come to any conclusion as a professional analyst.
Because of the early age (i.e. 10 months, 18 mos, etc.) at onset of
tm,stress has to be ruled out as the cause. Yes,I know a baby can be
stressed,but not in the way we're talking about.
Spinal cord injury being a source of entry for Viral or Biological infection
is something to key on but still probably could not be across the board
statistically proven.
To pin down a event as a trigger to the onset of tm possibly could be
statistically proven. Combination of a weak immune system,vertabrael
injury,stress and other events would have to be taken into consideration as
well as vaccinations and influenza.
Also,some people may be more interested in a cure,rather than the cause of
tm.Rightfully so! But, a good place to start,would be pinpointing a trigger
or cause.
If a hundred tm'ers reply with their medical pre-tm background, I will run a
chart on it, analyse the info and report it back to the list. It's the least
I could do for us tm'ers.
What do you think?
