I am 37 years old. I was in the auto business before I was disabled. I love to hunt and fish. Can't do as much as I could in the past. I have practiced the art of taxidermy for over 20 years. I have won awards in that fiels. Since becoming disabled I have been doing taxidermy again. Slowly to say the least. It keeps me a little buisy and distracts me form the pain I am in daily.
I am a victum of TM. I am disabled but I like to be as active as I can be. I am looking for grants to start a small business. Also needing grant money or loan to take care of the growing expencives that's associated with becoming disabled.
I would like any help I can get.
Transverse myelitis (TM) is a neurologic syndrome caused by inflammation of the spinal cord. TM is uncommon but not rare. Conservative estimates of incidence per year vary from 1 to 5 per million population (Jeffery, et.al., 1993). The term myelitis is a nonspecific term for inflammation of the spinal cord; transverse refers to involvement across one level of the spinal cord. It occurs in both adults and children. You may also hear the term myelopathy, which is a more general term for any disorder of the spinal cord.
