When I was dx with TM, my neuro told me never to have any kind of immunization
again. So for me, no flu, pneumonia, or even any more tetanus shots.

Hi Linda,
I had a flu shot this year & I was trying to think if mine might have been
from that. No one ask me (a dr.) if I had had a ful shot or anything like
that. I'm kinda baffled no doctor tried to find out why I had gotten TM, (IF
there was a reason that we could know why). Natalie

I was told my TM was probably the result of my flu shot 11/03. Had
intermittent numbness on the right side after that, but it always went away
until 2/04. Then numbness & muscle weakness progressed from my toes to my
chest & was dx with TM by 4/04.

Do most of you know why you got Transverse Myelitis? I was not told a reason
why I had gotten it. Even at Baylor University. I don't recall anyone asking
me if I had been ill w/ anything prior to the TM. I was just curious to know
how your drs. addressed you. One leg was paralyzed after a fall on December
13th and by Christmas I was totally paralyzed from T12 down. It took them too
long to determine what I had; therefore, the steriods did not help; although I
also realize they don't always aid in recovery. I was sent to a rehab center
w/ the one leg paralyzed and became totally paralyzed there. They should have
had an accurate diagnosis before sending me to the 1st one; but apparently the
one they used was not accurate. I know I was sent there too soon. And the
second one I went to I was verbally abused and acquised of saying things I did
not say such as to an aide. That is one reason I decided to even leave my
state for help and go elsewhere to Baylor. I was
treated completely different there - it was certainly worth going there. By
the time I returned home I had been gone for 3 months!!! Natalie Mizenko
