: Would you please tell me the name of the mailing list? (I am also diagnosed with
transverse myelitis). Also what is solumedrol iv??
The solumedrol IV is a corticol(?) steroid used to treat the swelling in the spine.
It also has nice side-effects like making veins collapse, you bruise really
easily, basically, it was good to take for a little while, but I was glad to
be taken off it.
Some useful links for Transverse Myelitis
www.myelitis.org
Transverse Myelitis Internet Club
The internet club has information on their site about the mailing list,
as well as archives, and information about the main posters.
