Anyone else have MG and idiopathic transverse myelitis

Old Radio Guy

I've had idiopathic transverse myelitis (TM) for the past several years affecting the lower half of my body. Last month I was diagnosed with seropositive MG after developing weak lip and tongue muscles. Since TM is often associated with autoimmune disorders, I was wondering if anyone else has this combination.

  Hi Jodi, Thanks! Those are not studies I've seen before. I'll pass them onto my neurologist - who is a specialist in those rare neuroimmune disorders and to the Siegel Rare Neuroimmune Association (SRNA) that supports research in that area.

Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us here. I have not seen mention of TM on our forums before but that is not to say that someone here doesn't have it. Hopefully, others will chime in! Kindly, Kaitlyn (Team Member)
