Had my annual evaluation with Dr Kerr yesterday after a 2+ hour MRI. The MRI
preliminary report says there is "no evidence for abnormal cord signal to
suggest transverse myelitis". I was blown away to learn that the myelin had
all "regrown" after 4 years. Of course, I still can't walk without a walker
and that is only for ten minutes. Then I revert to the wheel chair. I assume
now all I need if for the nerves to reconnect, lol. I would be happy to
receive comments on this report as I am still baffled about the myelin. I
thought the loss of myelin was the cause of the paralysis.
Dr Kerr also recommended that I start taking Topamax because I complained about
the weight gain associated with the Lyrica. The side effects are kind of
scarey. I wondered who was taking it and what their experience had been.
Looking forward to all responses.

Does anyone here use a chiropractor or know if it is safe? My shoulders and
neck hurt so bad, and I was wondering if it might help me. the lady i talked
to also does massage which i will definitely do, but i was wondering about the
getting adjusted part. it seems a little scary to me though. any advice or
thoughts?
thanks
