What is the treatment for transverse myelitis?
I'm not really sure how to answer this question. I have had Transverse Myelitis, and I was fortunate enough not to be paralyzed because of it. My TM was treated so my spinal cord wasn't swollen, but I'll still carry the diagnoses with me for the rest of my life, and I still have residual effects, like a hand tremor. I suppose the answer would be no, because it can't be cured, but it can be treated. When there is a cure for TM, I'll be the first one to get it.
What is likelihood of Transverse Myelitis coming back a second time?
