Rosalie: The neurologist gave me a tm diagnosis, but also noted that I
had a B-12 deficiency. When I went to the 2004 Symposium, Dr Kerr noted
that a differential diagnosis (some other ailment that might look like tm
that might be present, and if found to be true, would supercede the tm
diagnosis) is B-12 deficiency. When I heard that, I asked him
specifically about it--subsequently became his patient, went to him, and
he confirmed that B-12 deficiency caused my spinal cord demyelination, at
L5/S1. A classic case, he said. Doesn't change the fact that the damage
I have causes the exact same symptoms, so I live with it like the rest of
you- and I hang around this bunch because you all are the best thing
since sliced bread! I love you all!
