Wow Rick, That was some story. None of us had it easy, like you say. I think it's weird that your TM didn't show itself for 30 days. I think that's unusual. Did your Dr's say anything about that? Just wondering... Love you, Jude In a message dated 1/25/2013 3:48:48 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, [email protected] writes:
Hey tmicers. I was injured in 1998 when trying to lift a heavy roll of carpet, that was late june 30 days later my right foot went numb and later that same week I felt tremendous pain in my left leg and I couldn't walk on it that night I sat in hot water most of the night, the next morning both legs were usless. I went to the emergency room in Memphis in extremely bad pain to find out my bladder had quit working. A foley was put in and my bladder drained more than 2500 ml. after that my pain settled down. I was bagged, given demerol several times and put in ccu. Then after mri they found a spinal cord tear at t-10 effecting everything below that point. I was placed on steriods and antibiotics and other things. I was kept there for thirty days under neuroligy care. I have yet to regain anything. I later was told after visiting Dr. Kerr that the spinal cord bleed contributed to transverse myelitis. Thats when I found this list of helpers. That was just a crazy time trying to keep with all that tm trows at you. and thats pretty much where I stand now in 2013. Rick In a message dated 1/24/2013 12:11:00 P.M.

I like making new friends but the old ones on this site have the most up to date news on Transverse Myelitis and thats what drew me here back in 1998. I was one of the first. Back then Drs.told me i'd never make it this far. Well, how do ya like me now? Tm for 15 years. Rick in
