UNBELIEVABLE!Here's another one. I too was going through some heavy-duty stress in my personal life. TM hit me during a bad flu. It was a really powerful virus. Hubby had it before me and got double pneumonia. I just kept getting sicker and sicker, saw my family doctor twice, went to Emergency twice. I kept saying to everyone "Something's wrong. This is more than the flu". All the doctors just kept sending me home saying it was a bad virus. Late in the third week, my bladder shut down and I lost all feeling below the waist - couldn't walk. They finally admitted me to hospital with suspected Guillain-Barre. My wonderful neuro was called in & made a quick dx of TM that was later confirmed with all the tests including a spinal tap. I have always suspected that stress had weakened my immune system & opened this can of worms.

OK.Is this list good or not! So far having approx. 10 responses..9 out of 10 state that they had a minor sickness but they were going thru a very stressful time in there lives. I am totally convinced that stress lowered my immume system to the point that TM occurred. I find it unbelievable how many on the list agree! I believe in order to find a cure you must first find the cause..perhaps we have!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rob in New Jersey
