I have a question concerning this and perhaps I'm not understanding what I'm
reading. I was told that it was a "possibility" that a fall down the stairs
that caused a herniated disc at C 5-6 could have possible hit my spinal cord
and brought on the slow progress of TM? Is this not a possibility?

Maria in Tonawanda whom is curious...

Good to hear from you, long time.

I just sent the information to the List for all to see if they might be
interested. I am not sure exactly what it's for nor the extent of it's
purpose. As far as us not being a SCI, we are, but not caused by an external
traumatic injury. The results are very similar, so we all might benefit from
it as I recall the message asked for all SCI, no matter what the source.
