[edit] Unsourced statements

This article has a lot of scary statistics in it. I have two friends with TM (they don't know each other) and it would be good if there was proof of some basis in fact for these stats. I have added the unsourced statement tag so that it will highlight it on the global lists. Kert01 14:06, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What about me?

"Unfortunately, the prognosis for significant recovery from acute transverse myelitis is poor in approximately 80% of the cases; that is, significant long-term disabilities will remain." I had transverse myelitis three years ago and I can walk and even run just fine now. Does this mean that I'm incredibly massively lucky that I can even feel my lower extremities much less walk?

No Nick, one of my friends is now fine, and has recently done a walking marathon - it must be the article that is portraying things badly, and that's not good news. Kert01 11:16, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

I have a question. Does any one think this could be caused by aspertame in diet soda?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.239.252.212 (talk) 00:25, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
