Lets not forget the good old Recurrent TM. Some of us carry that
along with the "probable MS" thing. So I guess that would be that I lent
my TM car to my niece after her brother crashed it and she also crashed it at a
different time and caused some damage in a different place.

I just want to let everyone
know that I wwas going to answer this yesterday.
TM is an auto-immune
event. The damage is only done once.
MS is an auto-immune disorder
(disease). The damage is done again and again.
TM is almost always just
one event.
MS is always two or more events. the auto-immune
process continues to damage the CNS.
Imagine you have a nice new
auto-mobile. Your horrible nephew borrows it and runs it off the road.
He brings it back. You fix the auto as best you can. but it is never the
same. You never let the nephew drive it again. This is
TM.
Imagine you have a nice new auto-mobile. Your horrible nephew talks
you into giving it to him. He has one accident after another ( each
accident occurs three to six months apart). He tries to fix itt himself,
but eventually the duct tape and bondo can't hold it together. It falls
apart. This is MS
I hope this
helps.
