Jude,
 
Yes, I was told my TM was caused by a virus, but I have never  had a cold 
sore in my life.  I have had Mono and Rheumatic Fever.  The  only thing I know 
that the three of these have in common is the Epstein-Barr  virus._Epstein-Barr 
 
Virus_ (http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/diseases/ebv.htm)  
 
I had flulike symptoms, three days prior to the onset of my  TM, and was 
paralyzed from the neck down in a matter of 20 minutes.  My  condition has not 
improved a whole lot since that day.
 
I'm glad to see that you are at home and doing better.  I  wish you well.  

Naomi

 Yes, I was told my TM was caused by a virus, but I have never  had a cold 
 sore in my life. 

T.M. is caused by viruses that don't cause cold sores. My TM virus was probably 
a Coxackie (sp?) virus

Hope that helps

Oh, my yes, Wim.  We have lost most of our hard earned retirement and now
just have to have faith that things will make a turn for the good.

[TMIC] Coxasackie virus

2008-10-05 Thread Regina Rummel
... that Frank thinks caused his TM.

I never heard of it and looked it up.

Oh my!  Reads as follows:  Coxasackie knows as enteroviruses transmitted orally 
(by ingestion of contaminated food) through what is known as the faeco-oral 
route.  

One more reason to be suspicious of eating in restaurants.

What is one to do?

I met a woman whose TM was caused by the virus that causes shingles.  I met
another woman who had shingles and her diagnosis for her resulting paralysis
was thought to be TM or Guillane Barre, either way thought to be brought on
by shingles also...my daughter's case is thought to be brought on by a virus
or a vaccine...no one knows...

  Its funny you should talk about cold sores and herpes virus.  I never had
 a problem with that in the past and that was the first thing I was asked
 when I got sick (Sept. 05).   Right now I have sores on my tongue which is
 probably some sort of herpes.  Very annoying.  I am taking an antibiotic but
 I know that does not kill a virus.   2 of my daughters (grown) also had mild
 cases of shingles this past year.   Maybe we all have the chicken pox virus
 in our systems.   Feel good, Rosalie

 I always hate when my email is filled with forwarded messages. I usually
 just delete then and very rarely pass them on.

 I feel exactly the same way.  I delete more email, even from my very best
 friend, who sends me every darn joke out there on the Internet.  Every once
 in a while there are photographs that are too cute and I appreciate those.
 The political messages I can live without hearing.  I know how I feel; I
 know who I am going to vote for, and I can decide for myself when there are
 issues on the table to be discussed.

 What I'm trying to say is this forum is for Transverse Myelitis and I'd
 like to read email having to do with this disease and how each of us is
 coping with it on a daily basis.  Maybe there are new members wanting to ask
 questions about TM...

 Heck~I have a question.  Has anyone ever been told that their TM is related
 to the Herpes virus?  When I get sick, I always get a cold sore on the
 corner of my mouth...never anywhere else.  But the doctors say that my
 herpes viral titers are sky high and can find no reason for them to be like
 that.

 Has anyone else been told that TM is caused by a virus?

 Love, Hugs  Prayers.
