I was told by my neurologist that was a possibility, but I wasn't given any
percentages. I was 38 when TM struck.

Not to scare anybody, but I was convinced after my attack of TM in October
1990 and the ensuing months, that I had MS. Every book I read on MS gave me
this indication and I was hospitalized several times to test for this.
The strange thing is that in October 1996 my nervous system went haywire, but
this time with Guillain-Barre Syndrome. They think a flu shot tripped it
off. I spent three months in the hospital.
Kind of weird, but something to keep in mind when they start peddling these
shots in the fall.
