Since my case of TM left me paralyzed from the neck down and totally
dependent on a repirator to breathe, doctors have always considered me a
person with a spinal cord injury.

A lot of the symtoms people with TM are describing are the same as a person
with a sci: Autonomic Dysreflexia, Neuropathic (nerve-generated) pain,
Muscle spasms, or spasticity. When I was in rehab I was told to expect
these and what causes them.
