A Primary Care Guide to Transverse Myelitis

Drs. Benjamin Greenberg and Angela Middleton, in partnership with The Transverse Myelitis Association, have committed to educating general practice or family physicians about transverse myelitis.  We are pleased to reprint their article about transverse myelitis from Patient Care.  This wonderful article represents our effort to educate physicians about transverse myelitis, the acute treatments and the long-term symptom management strategies.  Dr. Greenberg is the co-director of the Johns Hopkins TM Center and serves on the TMA medical advisory board and Dr. Middleton is a family practice physician who has transverse myelitis.
