OK . . . What is a spinal chord stroke? Is it when the cord is deprived of blood?--because I have these on a weekly basis due to diminished flow from 7 fusions and damage after an industrial accident. When I exert myself, the‹something‹swells and the next day I will lose control of my limbs and will have severe muscle contractions lasting 10-20 seconds, frost on the front of my body, then on the back of my body.
These are the "attacks" I have been mentioning. A medication change won't help, because it is due to TM hitting the brainstem, and so I have these inflammations every week. I am weak and unable to walk for a couple of days, except from bed or chair to the bathroom. Any thoughts?--and my gratitude for this site and all my new friends, who suffer far more difficulties than I.

Dr. Kerr concurred. The spinal fluid was clear of leukocytes. Alton On Mar 9, 2011, at 5:06 PM, Todd Tarno wrote: > I might have had a spinal cord stroke
