Hello again,
Now I have more questions. I was given mega doses of steriods believing
it was it was to srink the swelling of the spinal cord or the myelon.
Is this correct? Also, no one ever mentioned that TM could be fatal. I
just learned from this group that it's possible to have flaire ups. My
neurologist had told me that it is more rare than TM itself. He's a Dr.
from the old school I guess, doesn't do computers. He was more concerded
about my weight gain.Which I blame on depression and being scared. Like
I have stated in the past, I'm totaly paralized from t2 down for two
yrs. now, has anyone had a flare up after this long and from this
elevation and died? I'm not terrified yet, but I,m thinking of seeking
another neurologist who may be more knowledgable on TM. Please give me
some feedback soon. I'd like to know the warning signs, if any, and any
good doctors in the Texas panhandle area, Amarillo is where I was
treated before. Maybe Lubbock, has anyone been treated there?
