ou're absolutely right on that one, Frank. The term TM is sort of all inclusive referring to lesion type. It means exactly what it says it does---T-transverse. M-myelitis. For example, whenever they do my MRI's they always refer to my lesions as transverse lesions. Yet, I, don't have what can actually be considered TM, as in the regular sense. Devic's is a totally different disease process. We know that for sure, due to the actual pathology of the disease and since the discovery of the antibody. Isn't it only that you have more than one disease going on at the same time? Maybe it is exacerbated by the TM...I don't know what the deal is...you don't have TM Devics disease...just Devics disease. And you have TM as well. Or is my thinking too simplistic? Why can't you have more than one disease going on at the same time like many of us do? Love You, Judy "Our present troubles are quite small and won't last very long.
