Transverse Myelitis: An Overview
Transverse myelitis (TM) is a neurologic syndrome caused by inflammation of the spinal cord. TM symptoms develop rapidly and include limb weakness, sensory disturbance, bowel and bladder dysfunction, back pain and radicular pain (pain in the distribution of a single spinal nerve). When it occurs without apparent underlying cause, TM may be the unfortunate result of a flu shot side effect.
Although some patients recover from TM with few if any problems, others suffer permanent impairments that affect their ability to perform ordinary everyday tasks. Most patients will have only one episode of TM, but a small number may have periodic recurrences. Sadly, flu shot vaccines have been linked ever increasingly to Transverse Myelitis.

How Can Flu Vaccines cause TM?
There is a popular scientific theory claiming that it is possible that flu vaccines - which are specifically designed to produce immune reactions - cause stimulation of T-cells that may produce antibodies that attack the myelin sheath, thus causing TM. In fact, about one third of TM cases appear to be associated with viral infections or vaccine injections. Additionally, there is a great deal of literature that essentially confirms the causal relationship between flu shots and Guillian-Barre Syndrome (GBS), which has a high degree of medical similarity to TM.
