How are you dealing with transverse myelitis?

@joanannzick4 That sounds like a complex situation. Resting is sometimes the best thing to do. I know for me, injections make me worse, and I think the culprit is the polyethylene glycol that may be in them. I've pieced together my reactions over the years and it seems to come down to that. It causes swelling in me or an asthma reaction. If injections make you worse, that may be something to ponder. Have your doctors tried anti-inflammatories or prednisone?

I have done multiple steroid infusions. They didn’t give me much relief, at least immediately. Moving makes me feel better. I learned that my weakness is in my neck. I can’t do any neck exercises or else I will have a total flareup.
