RE: [TMIC] today's feat

[Bob and Sue Mattis]

I should have also added to my previous e-mail that at onset I felt an excruciating pain in my lower back which felt like someone stabbed me with a knife. Within minutes I was paralyzed from the waist down and the excruciating pain was gone. I don’t know if it had gone away….or I could no longer feel it because of the paralysis. L-5 was where my lesion was.

My onset was within less than 10 minutes….and paralysis from the waist down . Seems more likely to be something quick like a stroke/infarction than something underlying like a virus, infection or autoimmune reaction. I was given the TM diagnosis though….and no one ever mentioned a stroke.

That seems more consistent with an infarction, not an infection or an autoimmune reaction. I went from normality to paraplegic that suddenly.   Alton
