I agree with Phil; my MD encounters have covered
a spectrum in all dimensions.
Gunny and I do ***not*** agree on a critical
point, the universalness of myelin loss. I, myself,
and about a quarter of this group [my estimate,
not quantitive data] have a different problem.
I had a spinal cord infarction at T9. Without
a blood supply, a significant number of neurons
died. Dead, gonzo, kaput, end of story. Some of
my circuits will remain in my history, not my
hopes, for my lifetime. That's OK; I will work
with what I have and continue to consider myself
lucky.
Spinal cord infarctionists are lumped in with
transverse myelitis victims for convenience. My
myelitis was trivial or absent, but I share with
this large group most of the TM symptoms.
