If you want to know what happens when you get transverse myelitis and how confusing it is for doctors to diagnose this rare disorter that I also have, this episode of Mystery Diagnosis gives you a pretty accurate account of what was happening to me in the hospital the first trip in June.
Thankfully, I was in hospital already when my TM finally struck, so once it hit things moved pretty quickly to diagnosis from that point. Of course, I barely remember any of this because I was so sick and on so many pain meds at this point.
