The night before onset of TM I had opened a jar of nacho cheese sauce. It was
new from the store, yet when I opened it, it was full of mold. I put the top
back on and put it back in the refrigerator. We asked a number of different
drs. if this might have anything to do with the onset of TM. Most said no; one
nearly scoffed at us; one said that kind of cause was not known at this time.
Also, about one month prior to TM I had a biopsy of the cervix due to some
spots there. I was told I had no cancer but had chronic cervisitis (sp?). Was
scheduled for cryosurgery but got TM in the meantime (did get the cryosurgery
later.) I did wonder if the biopsy may have let some germ in the bloodstream.
Other health problems pre-TM: gallbladder surgery about 10 years before;
thyroid surgery about 6 years before; hypoglycemia.
