*Hi Barbara,*
**
*I'm another one. My relapsing LETM (Longitudinal Extensive Transverse
Myelitis) is caused by NMO, which is a neuroimmunological inflammatory
disease. Although I have experienced LETM many times, my official diagnosis
is NMO. For me, TM is a symptom of my underlying disease process. Our
member Linda C., experiences relapsing TM as a result of her Sjogren's.
Like me, she is on a a heavy hitter chemo. (Rituxan---chemotherapeutic
agent, a monoclonal antibody typically reserved for Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma,
and severe RA patients.)*
**
*TM can be caused, or be present in several different disorders. NMO,
Lupus, Sjogren's, ADEM, MS, and others. And of course, it can also be
idiopathic.*
