I agree that it was very nice of him to respond but I don't understand why they didn't come up with a diagnosis for him. I am sure he had the best doctors available. Like I said before, I started with an untreated viral infection in my chest area and I had the same back pain. In fact. the doctor diagnosed that as arthritis after diagnosing the chest congestion as the flu but he was just my husband's uncle (but a real doctor, nonetheless, and not a specialist.

I have thought of Mr. Graves every now and then also. I remember reading the first newspaper article about him when he first got ill. Because he said that he had back pain before the paralysis set in, I figured it really sounded like TM. About a month or two ago I emailed him at his office (in New York I think) and was happy and surprised when he responded. He thanked me for my interest in him but he told me that they still didn't know what exactly caused him to become paralyzed. He mentioned something about The Miami Project for his hope to walk again. I had meant to post this to the TMIC but time got away from me and then I forgot until Hildred just brought it up again. I thought it was so nice of him to take the time to write me back.
