I believe that those of us stricken in such a short time were the victim of infarctions in the spinal cord, not infections or autoimmune disorders. My CSF was clear, so I did not have an infection. Hello Alton and All, Mine onset was more than short term...I had gotten up in the morning, showered, did my hair and make-up, felt great...got dressed, buttoned the first button on my shirt and before I could get to the second one, I was on the floor in the most excruciating pain I had ever had. I made it to the bed and within five minutes I was paralyzed from the tips of my toes to my armpits. The pain was so bad that with every heartbeat I swear that bright red bolts of lightening were shooting out of my eyes. I know they really weren't, but it sure felt like it. That was five years ago and nothing has changed. Peace and Prayers, Jude <BR><BR><BR>**************************************<BR> AOL now offers free email to everyone.
