I had Transverse Myelitis a year ago, I improved, then I got new
symptoms to go with the TM
symptoms that never left, and these new
symptoms have stuck around for a number of months. Like nearly 6 months with little change.
The way my neuro described it, folks with MS have their initial episode with all manner of symptoms, but it usually only lasts a couple months and they go back to whatever their personal normal turns out to be.
