Hi Luckydog! I am a new member of this forum. I was at my first neurosurgeon review yesterday and was told by him that he "thinks" I may have suffered a spinal stroke. I have been slowly recovering since Feb. 26 2010 when this malady first hit me, but the medical professionals have not been real helpful. (they can only tell me what it's NOT from after reviewing MRI, CAT Scan, X-Ray) I would really appreciate hearing what you've been through and how you recovered.

Nevermind, I just read it, nearly 2 years ago. You are such an inspiration. Dustin is only 21 and very fit... He's going to the Shepherd's clinic in Atlanta so I am very optimistic and hopeful for him. He has never lost feeling though which I am assuming is good since it's not a complete injury. How long did it take for your inflammation on your spinal cord to go down?

Hi, I was wondering how long your recovery took?

Thank you,
Jamie

Hello my name is megan about a week ago my sister went to the hospital for numbness and with in 2-3 hours she was completely paralyzed and on a vent. The doctors are very confused and dont know what the cause is. They are saying they think it is a spinal stroke. So I was wondering if you can give me any information on your case so I can compare to my sisters.
I am so glade to hear that you had such a great recovery!! About how long did it take.
I am going to treat my sister like she had the spinal stroke so can you give me any advice on what to do???
Thank you very much,
Megan
