Not really... but as I told Greg on his Facebook, it really brought me back to the day I contracted it. His experience was so very close to mine. He regained slightly more function than I, but I think it's wonderful to have something visual for others to see what we - and our families have gone through. Greg and his parents re-enact exactly what occurred as the virus began to affect him and what it took for him to get to the point he's at now, two years later. I also think it shows how important it is to find a doctor who, if they're not already familiar with TM, is willing to explore all avenues to find out how to treat you. Betty

I watched it and it was GREAT! It would be wonderful if all the physicians who are not familiar with TM would watch!

The show originally aired this last Monday and will repeat next week. Here's a link about the show. Unfortunately, those who don't have cable and don't get this particular station won't be able to see it... and for those who can get it, be aware, if you try to program your DVR to record - I believe the show is be labeled "The Girl Who Stopped Walking" - Greg's part of the show is in the second "story" being highlighted: Mystery Diagnosis on Discovery Health Channel (Monday) will be about a man with TM. http://savannahnow.com/news/2010-09-05/local-man-featured-mystery-diagnosis Betty (in Northern California) In a message dated 09/09/10 13:27:49 Pacific Daylight Time, jan...@centurytel.net writes: My sister, who lives in Savannah, told me about a Transverse Myelitis patient that lives near there. He will be on the 2nd half of Discovery Health channel. Dates are: Saturday, Sept. 11 at 5:00pm and Monday, Sept. 13 at 3:00pm Should be interesting and am glad that TM is getting some recognition.
