I too had a fairly quick onset of TM (still not fully diagnosed) Labor Day
weekend 2005. Felt like i was standing on a live wire down both legs and
became paralyzed from the waist down. Now can move my legs and even drive but
cannot stand alone or walk without a walker. My primary neuro still thinks it
was an infarction of the spinal cord but several others including a doctor at
the Cleveland clinic believe it is TM. Perhaps it is one and the same.
Also, I had been fighting taking Zocor for my high cholestoral for
years and just that summer decided to take it (40mgs) I had been taking it
for
about 6 weeks when this struck. I also thought that the statin drug had
something to do with this but all the drs. pooh poohed it. Even now, a year
and
one half later one dr. talked me into to taking Lipitor (20mgs) He says that
the statin drugs could not cause TM. I hope he is right. Anyone else on
drugs for cholestoral.
Any other thoughts?? Thanks, Rosalie from sunny Fla. but now in
freezing NY for a week.
