A 14-year-old girl has been diagnosed with a rare condition after she woke up one morning paralyzed. She may never fully recover if she doesn't get the help she needs and the treatment is expensive.

I have TM too. Same story. Woke up one day and couldn't move my legs. Couldn't feel ice on my back. 6 years later i still use my wheelchair on long outings but can walk in the house now. And less falls. I can have showers by myself finally! No one is alone, Stay strong, stay positive, keep fighting. You can all do this.

the children's hospital in Atlanta takes such good care of you, I had temporary paralysis there, but I soon regained feeling, but my point- they're great and very nice.

Hi My daughter got TM when she was turning 15 exactly the same way as you and 6 years later she is still paralyzed. If you have feeling already, then you will probably recover. Check out her video on KZfaq that my niece made. It's called Olivia's story. You sound like a really tough kid, just like Olivia. Good luck!

I'm annoyed that we live in a world where there is a treatment to help a 14-year old girl possibly walk again, and she could possibly not get it. Like, "We'd love to help you, but you're too poor to be helped. We know you already have it rough already by not being able to afford fancy things, but we're going to go ahead and let you have it even rougher by not being able to walk. It's okay. You're poor. You're used to not getting things your way."

I got TM when I was 28, I'm almost 42 now. I was paralyzed from the mid-chest down, but recovered movement in my right leg, and upper trunk, but not much in my left leg. I can walk with crutches and a KAFO brace on my left leg. I still have no feeling in about half my body and what feeling I do have is not normal. I mostly use a wheelchair now but for about 8 years I walked more than used it.

This is EXACTLY what happened to me six months ago. Luckily I am walking again but the only thing keeping me from being paralysed again is the steroids im on. I've had 4 relapses in six months as the doctors have tried to take my steroids away from me as it's getting dangerous to be on them for too long....I have no recieved any help and am currently being told to ween down off of my steriods AGAIN, despite all the relapses i've had from doing this. No doctor has been able to help me. So if you have suffered from the same thing and you get the right treatment please let me know- Surely steroids isn't the answer as it's not helping )':

If it’s inflammation wouldn’t normally the body recovery it? I mean, inflamed damage wears of. But I ain’t no dr...
@ReyOfLight5 жыл бұрын
The inflammation can cause swelling in and around the spinal cord which essentially squeezes the spinal cord until it’s crushed, to put it in simple terms. That’s why the paralysis can be permanent even though the cause for the paralysis isn’t an accident but an auto immune reaction in the body that causes the inflammation
