Hi Everyone,
I was Dx with TM in May and have recovered quite well after being temporarily
paralyzed. However, I still suffer from the sensory, coordination, bladder and
sexual problems. I have just been prescribed gabapentin for my neuropathy.
After meeting with four different neurologists,
Hi Kelley,
I was hit with TM in 2005 and went through paralysis from the right leg down,
horrific pain in gluts and around waist and had coordination issues. Less than
a
year later, just as the neuro predicted, I had bladder problems which put me in
the hospital. That was no laughing matter.
This is the first published study to show that human neural stem
cells can restore mobility even when administered at time points
beyond the acute phase of trauma, suggesting the prospect of
treating a much broader population of injured patients than
previously demonstrated.
Thanks so much
Kelly,
Very few TM patients respond to MS drugs. Mostly MS patients respond, though.
I would get connected to the neurology department of a major teaching hospital.
Where do you live? I can be your Google to get you to the closest best
hospital. (I used to be a Family Dr., now am a
