Hello Carol

My neurologist told me that I had an attack of transverse myelitis that damaged my spinal cord, and now I am dealing with the residual damage.  In that case, it is like polio.  I think that when we have flareups then we have "myelitis" which is an inflammation of the area of the cord that was damaged - but not another TM attack.

I curious about the proper way to explain our affliction.
Do we currently have TM or we had it when we first became ill?
Is it like Polio?  It came, crippled and you no longer have Polio, but you do have the destruction that it left behind.
 
Thanks for your help in explaining this to me.
