Definition of itis
-itis: Suffix meaning inflammation. For example, colitis is
literally colon inflammation or figuratively inflammation of the colon. The
ending -itis is one of the building blocks derived from Greek (in this case) or
Latin used to construct medical terms.
Some time ago someone on the list mentioned that at the time of the onset
of Transverse Myelitis--when we had inflammation---it was Transverse Myelitis,
but now we no longer have inflammation so it is Transverse
My----------(something, but I don't remember what it is) so it is still TM but
not an "itis". I just cannot recall what the "aftermath" of having the
inflammation is and I was hoping after Carol's quesiton someone would come up
with the word.

Subject: [TMIC] Do we still have TM?
I know this question has been put out here before, but I can't find it. So I
ask again, do we still have TM or did it come, destroy and leave and we are
left with the aftermath?
Your comments please....
