It's been almost one year since my diagnosis of tm. I injured my back
lifting a huge roll of carpet, some of you know my case. The most
discusting part is that I tore my spinal cord practtically into.Trying
to prove that the spinal cord tear was first and this gave a flu-like
virus an entry point into my spinal cord. Workers comp. reps. think they
know more than the very best neeuros in the memphis area. these reps are
going to go say that I had tm first. I realize I have spoken about this
on many occations, but I Plead that someone out there try to remember if
you have ever heard of this type of situation. I was self employed
carpet installer for 30 years , and have never hurt my back. I have two
or three Drs. that believe that my version is correct, but will not say
possitivally that this can be proved. I think it will never be proved
because the ststus quo says this is tm and tm is caused by a virus.
there must be an exception to the rule. Help if you can. thank you
