My "attack" from TM happend May 17, 1989. I'm a C2 quadriplegic, totally
paralyzed from the neck down and dependent on a ventilator to breathe.

I had a lot of pain the first few months that eventually got better.I
rarely have any pain at all for the past 6 years. At first, I had no
feeling below my neck. Within the first 4 - 6 months I started getting
feeling back. Today I have nearly normal feeling on the left side of my
body (shoulder to toes), slightly less then normal feeling on my right
side, and I can not feel my right arm. I can sort of feel temprature on my
right leg.

The only medication I take is baclofen and dantrium for spasms.
