You wrote to Jim about the number of TM patients in The US. Nothing is
said because so many are misdxed. The same week I came down with tm a 21
yr old fellow was brought into the same hospital, was dxed and move to
an other hospital , he died the same week. Some thing none of us like to
think about, but Jim knows that fast med attention saved his life. I was
told after the fact that had I not begun to regain movement within a
week that I would have died in two weeks .That was in 1981.
