Again, just my opinion, but any of us could get 'hit' again! But if there's no signs of a repeat attack, it seems a little over-cautious to worry about it. (How many TMers have ended up with MS? I know there's some, but my impression is, there's a whole bunch of us that only have TM.)

No, I think you're right. My understanding is that TM originates from a virus that moves into the spinal column and becomes TM. MS is it's own disease. And almost always, TM is a one time event. But, occasionally, it hits more than once. Like, for me, they tested me for every kind of virus

Sally, I agree. Especially after three years and no re- occurrence so why start thinking of MS. That is why I have so far not had a spinal tap but my neurologist has planted seeds of doubt in my mind. Thanks Gary - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Tim.. I don't think it's odd that three of you that work at the same place all have these issues. There was someone on this list a year or two ago from Ohio that had been working at a hospital that was getting renovated and there were 3 or 4 people who were either diagnosed with TM or MS during

Rosalie, if I read your note correctly, you have some use of your legs. If that is correct, then take the foot rests off your chair and go to it in the kitchen. You WILL get used to working in a sitting position. One of my hobbies is bread making, and I've been doing it in a wheelchair

I dont think coincidences really happen. There is something more to it. My next door neighbor in a condo (we shared a party wall) was diagnosed with TM about 12 years ago. He was around the same age that I am now (a little bit old). Same symtoms that I had and spent the rest of his life
