I think I recall your story on "Joe's" TM thread, and I did not believe that that neuro was right about his diagnosis of TM ~ well at least not ACUTE Transverse Myelitis. Your experience was not anything like what everyone with TM has gone through that I've talked to anyway.

Bear in mind that many cases of TM end up being MS-induced TM in the long run anyway . . .

I only had 3 very small brain lesions after 12 yrs with this disease, Gazelle. I consider myself very lucky in that regard (less damage). I probably would have gotten the dx anyway after the 2nd TM attack (or 3rd flare-up of my spinal lesions), but those 3 itty-bitty brain lesions may have cemented the dx for me more quickly.

There doesn't seem to be much doubt that you have MS, especially with those spinal lesions. There are very, very few diseases with spinal lesions.
