My sister-in-law was diagnosed last year with Transverse Myelitis. The symptoms are losing the sensation of touch in her hands and feet and as it worsens her entire legs. Also a girdle like pressure around the abdomen and loss of feeling when she needs to use the restroom which leads to severe abdominal pain. They got rid of most of the symptoms with steroid IVs last year, but now, only 6 months later the symptoms are coming back quickly. Has anyone on this list had experience with this condition and/or anything similar? Looks like it is one of those inflammatory auto-immune disorders that can do severely impair one's ability to function. Last time she lost her ability to use her hands, and even had difficulty walking. Any info./suggestions is appreciated, Thanks! Tara Tara McClintick <http://www.booksbytara.com> www.booksbytara.com
