Tracy, has she tried Neurontin and baclofen? Neurontin for nerve pain and
baclofen for leg spasms.

The higher the lesion the more dangerous it is since it effects everything
below, with the thoracic affection upper torso, limbs, breathing, swallowing,
etc.
And Lyrica for the burning. Worked fantastically on me.

Quick question to anyone that may know my mom's lesion is on t12 is there a
difference on the location on your spine as far as tm goes? This may be a dumb
question. Also has anyone found anything that works for the severe burning she
has on her feet? All of the medication she is on gives her no relief.

Hi,
You're right,it is a circus.
I got tm on 8/13/95. MRI showed lesion from T4-T5. Started out
paralyzed from T4 to toes. Now numb in that area,with a few areas of
hypersensitivity on left side. I have bladder/bowel problems,spasms,numbness
and tingling. I walk with a walker.
A year or so after dx. I had a flare-up and had another MRI. The
original lesion was gone. My dx remains tm. I've never had an LP.
Are your docs planning another LP? Why do they say there is not
any sign of demyl from the spinal fluid? Isn't that what made them think (along
with the spot on the brain) it was MS? I'm confused!

hello,i havnt posted on here in years,recognise most of you and see
alot of new names,just thought i would throw this out there and see what you
all think.
in feb 2000,i fell through a staircase fighting a fire and landed
on my heels,i had a shockwave go up my spine and went over on my head.had no
sighns of numbness or the pins and needles untill 3 weeks later,it got so bad i
started falling on my face and became so weak the wheelchair was the only other
option,i was given all the ms test and came up neg,but they found lesions on my
c spine and were extremely quick to call what i had transverse myelitis (
inflamation of the spinal chord ).through the course of 5 years,i went through
all the crap that comes with ms,everything from spasms,bladderdisfunct,sexual
problems etc etc and experienced every range of emotion there is.in 2005 i was
dx with ms after a positive lp and a small lesion on the brain,the lesions on
the c spine were gone and i thought i was finally going to get some
answers.well in jan i had a repeat mri done and found the spot on the brain is
still there,but was told the spinal fluid they took in 2005 showed no sighns of
demyl and they changed my dx back to tm.now how frustrating is that? 11
years,22 doctors,3 major hospital centers and 15 therapy centers later to be
put back to square 1 with still no answers.what a circus.
