@pmross - I'm not a doctor but I think you may be onto something. From what I've read Lyme disease can cause a condition called Transverse Myelitis - https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/transverse-myelitis-know-the-signs-and-symptoms/. Here's more information on Lyme disease from Mayo Clinic - https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/lyme-disease/symptoms-causes/syc-20374651.

@cmmichaela may has posted about Lyme disease and paralysis in other discussions and may have some thoughts or information to share with you.

Is the teaching hospital still trying work with you on diagnosing your daughter to figure out a treatment?

She had meningococcemia at 2 yrs. The only side effect was in her ear. Fast forward 37 yrs she is numb from her lower abdomen to her knee caps. Onset was to her toes. When the left the hospital to her knee caps.
