You don't have to wait for Phil's survey results to find which age group is
most affected by transverse myelitis.

If you go to the Transverse Myelitis Association home page, which is located
at <http://www.myelitis.org>, the initial results of the ongoing survey were
published in the October, 1997 newsletter.

To quote from the newsletter: "The majority of people (64 of 103) were
diagnosed with TM in their thirties forties and fifties. The highest number
of respondents (28) contracted TM in their forties. There were 7 children who
contracted TM under the age of 10. Seventeen of the respondents were
diagnosed with TM over the age of sixty."
