My trip to the ER paid off. The ER doc, was so concerned over my condition that he called the attending Neuro that was on staff who came to the ER to see me. He gave me a prescription for Clonazepam as well as gabapentin to get some relief and to be taken at bedtime to help with the "sleep jerks" as well as the peripheral neuropathy. Finally I was able to get some sleep last night for the first time in 3 days. He also wants me to call the office on Monday morning and discuss having a spinal tap done later this week but wants to wait till additional lab results come back. I just wish I had some answers to what is going on. It is so frustrating. I have lost my job and struggling through the whole unemployment issues as well. Not a good way to start the new year. Thank you for getting back to me.

Hi Lynn,

Welcome to NeuroTalk.

I'm glad you went to the ER and were able to finally get some sleep.
I wanted to just let you know that there are a few older posts/threads regarding transverse myelitis in the

Spinal Disorders & Back Pain Forum

I only looked there quickly just now, though you could try a full forum search for any posts that may be elsewhere.

Same with "neurofeedback". There are posts on a number of the forums here talking about the pros and cons.
Just my feeling about it, but it might be best not to think about something like that until you know exactly what condition you have.

take care of yourself. I hope you're able to get some answers when you have more test results.
