They talked about surfer's neuropathy. When surfing in Hawaii. Where the person on the surf board would bend their back upward and pinch the nerve in the spinal cord. They wouldn't be able to walk once they got back to the beach. The summer before I was hit with a lesion/TM @ T-4 to T-8. I have always said that it started the end of the summer of 2001 after boogie boarding at the beach in Corpus Christi, TX. I wanted to go back out, because it would be the last chance I would have for the summer, but my back hurt, my legs where wobble, and I was very tried, and we where going back home to Austin, TX. I was 38 years old and didn't think I was getting too OLD. At age 5, I fail off a slide head first and broke the right arm and pulled muscles in the ofter arm. Getting HIV+ in Sept. 7, 1989. Then the boogie board in the late summer of 2001. Then TM in April 1, 2002. Has anyone else heard about this and/or was surfing before TM?
