Re: [TMIC] TM Journal
When I was first diagnosed in 1976, totally paralyzed from the mid-chest area down, I was diagnosed with acute diffuse transverse encephalomyelitis and it did follow a viral infection in my upper chest, high temp and spasms in the large muscle in my thigh that they gave me ativan for. I still have the scars on the bottoms of my feet from thebed sores from the leg spasms. Anytimeafter that I was have spasms in my leg even if I didn't feel the pain, i.e.,a break of some sort. I guess that was my brain telling me something was wrong.

From the TMA website: Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (ADEM) What is Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis? Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADE) is a neurological disorder characterized by inflammation of the brain and spinal cord caused by damage to the myelin sheath. The myelin sheath is the fatty covering, which acts as an insulator, on nerve fibers in the brain. ADE may occur in association with a viral or bacterial infection, as a complication of inoculation or vaccination, or without a preceding cause. Onset of the disorder is sudden. Symptoms, which vary among individuals, may include headache, delirium, lethargy, coma, seizures, stiff neck, fever, ataxia, optic neuritis, transverse myelitis, vomiting, and weight loss. Other symptoms may include monoparesis (paralysis of a single limb) or hemiplegia (paralysis on one side of the body). The disorder occurs in children more often than in adults.
