I am trying to help a friend find a Dr. in the Nashville TN area who specializes in Transverse Myelitis, MS or Myofascia Pain

Good luck I can't even seem to find a neuro urologist. You can call Vanderbilt Stallworth for information.

Have you tried www.myelitis.org ... or tried Johns Hopkins in New Jersey (they have a centre for myeopathy) and may have a list of key doctors in each state?

Thank you addiesue and lynnifer for your replies.
My friend was stricken with TM when he was 21 it took a long time to be diagnosed and he has been run through the whole routine of "it might be this or it might be that so you need to go to this doc ,no you need to go to that one" so basically he is sick to death of docs in general but has no choice but to try and find someone who actaully knows something about this disorder and knows what to do about it. He is now 55 years old and so he is not new to the pain and suffering associated with it. He was diagnosed with MS recently also. Has unrelenting pain.
