My neuro has dx me with TM (transverse myelitis) in the absence of lesions or any other "smoking gun" indications of MS. TM is inflammation of the spinal cord, and often is dx after a sudden onset of paralysis, which I did not have. What I do have aplenty is inflammation: Crohn's, episcleritis, carpal tunnel, arthritis in hand and neck. Eight years ago my first neuro called it peripheral neuropathy, which it is not, according to my current doc, who is a specialist in MS and TM. My experience of what-ever-it-is seems to be closest to Primary-Progressive MS, in that I have had no time off from my symptoms. The closest thing I have to a remission is two good days in a row, with some bad moments in them. If I ever hit tha third day feeling good, I would think I had been miraculously cured!
