[TMIC] age at incident

I was 62 when I was nailed eleven years ago.  A tiny infarction in  
the spinal cord at T9-10 dropped me in minutes.


Barbara Alma said, I believe, that she was 48.

So young.  I was 58.  I was dx'd with definitive ATM and 'possible' MS.  My 
neuro said that statistically, the later in life you develop neurological 
disease, the lower your chances of developing full blown MS.  I was never sure 
if he was trying to raise my morale or if he did have those statistics.  
Whatever the reason, it helped a lot with the initial shock of having to live 
life differently.

When I went in to the ER early in the morning, Janet, they just left me
laying as the paralysis moved it's way up my body and just shrugged their
shoulders saying, Oh, you just worked too hard and pinched a nerve.  Later
in the afternoon my daughter asked me if I had to go to the bathroom and I
told her I couldn't tell.  She was the one that asked them to please cath me
since I hadn't gone all day.  Oh, the stories each of us could tell.

   Took 10 minutes to become paralyzed from the waist down (T12)

Strictly speaking, neither of us have TM. Myelitis is an inflammation  
of the myelin; I don't believe any infection can have such a sudden  
onset.  Moreover, my spinal fluid was clear of white blood cells that  
would have been marshaled to fight an inflammation.  I, perhaps we,  
had an infarction of a branch artery within the cord.
