Hindsight is 20-20 My first numbness was Sept 11 I went to a chiropractor for several weeks When i began to be constipated I went to the doctor... as this progressed I had increasing back pain. I had "cartoon legs " on Oct.4 and drove myself from work to the emergency room spent a long weekend in the hospital but drove myself home to take oral steroids used a cane then got rid of the cane and then it struck again on 11/14 this was in 2005. I wish i had had the blood replacement therapy in October and perhaps i would have avoided becoming paralyzed in November....
read as much as you can and ask your Drs about options for treatment as the earlier the intervention, the better the outcome --
