* Labor Day Weekend 2005( Saturday) on the way home with a brand new car and felt tingling in my legs. Stopped at my daughters house where the tingling felt like I had stepped on a live wire. Went to ER. Was told it was sciatica and given a pain pill and sent home.
Next day (Sunday) - on the golf course and this time it really felt like two live wires that I had stepped on. Couldnt walk to my car. My husband took me to a different ER and they had no idea what it could be. They had no MRI machine. Sent me to a different hospital where they called in a technician to do an MRI. By this time I was paralyzed from the waist down so was admitted to hosp. Two weeks later a team of neurologists finally came up with a diagnosis - either Transverse myelitis or a spinal cord stroke. After 5 mos. of rehab I was finally able to walk haltingly with a walker and now I am independent, have a power chair and can drive my own van.
