TRAMATIC spinal cord injury as in: had an accident and cord was damaged.
Our kind of injury doesn't fall in their definition of SCI, (don't
know about you but it felt pretty TRAMATIC to me!!!!) but MS and TM are
evidently in a different catigory. So any studies on SCI leaves us
dangling in the breeze. Joellen
