Poliomyelitis: polio comes from the virus called (poliovirus 1.2.3), myelitis is the inflamation of the myelin. But in this particular case of poliomyelitis we consider 'active infectious inflamation of the myelin in the anterior horn cell of the spinal cord.

Transverse Myelitis is the inflammation of the spinal cord.
The area on the spinal cord affected by transverse myelitis will determine the individual's level of functioning. The higher-up the lesion, the greater the disability.

Transverse myelitis often occurs in people who are recovering from a recent viral illness, including chickenpox, herpes simplex, cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr, influenza, and measles.
The chances of this are very very very slim, but it is possible. There is a blood test you can get that will tell you if you are likely to get it again.
Treatment is aimed at calming the immune response that caused the spinal cord injury in the first place. To this end, high doses of intravenous and then oral steroids are the first-line treatments for transverse myelitis.
The symptoms of transverse myelitis are due to damage and/or destruction of the myelin sheath, the fatty white covering of nerve fibers that serves both to insulate the nerve fibers and to speed nervous conduction along them.
Transverse myelitis can be caused by viral infections (such as herpes, influenza), autoimmune disorders (such as multiple sclerosis), and inflammatory conditions (such as lupus). It can also be triggered by certain vaccinations, spinal cord injuries, or vascular disorders that affect blood flow to the spinal cord.
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.
Transverse Myelitis is the inflammation of the spinal cord.
Transverse myelitis is a neurological condition characterized by inflammation of the spinal cord. This inflammation can result in damage to the myelin (protective covering of nerve fibers), leading to symptoms such as weakness, sensory disturbances, and bladder and bowel dysfunction. Treatment typically involves corticosteroids to reduce inflammation and manage symptoms.
