*Hello Regina,* *Recurrent TM is not *always* indicative of MS. There are very rare cases (And Linda is one of them) of people experiencing relapsing TM. I myself experience relapsing LETM (Longitudinal Extensive Transverse Myelitis.) as a result of Devic's NMO. Linda also has Sjogren's, which on occasion can cause relapsing attacks of TM. Much more goes into the diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis than simply the presence of spinal lesions.* ** *Laura, I have Devic's NMO. It involves the spinal cord, optic nerve, brainstem, and in a percentage of cases, the brain proper. Unfortunately, it can be and often is, fatal.* ** * Respectfully,* *Grace (Devic's NMO since 2005)* **
