No, not necessarily . . . or even most of the time.

TM requires that a person have at least one spinal lesion, and that it caused a clear attack. The attack can be mild, moderate or severe, and it will leave a person with very mild disability --> right through to causing them to be permanently bedridden from the get-go:

There are about 100 differential dx for MS
