What is Transverse Myelitis?

Transverse Myelitis is an inflammation of the spinal cord, a major part of the central nervous system.  The spinal cord carries nerve signals to and from the brain through nerves that extend from each side of the spinal cord and connect to nerves elsewhere in the body.  The term myelitis refers to inflammation of the spinal cord; transverse refers to the pattern of changes in sensation—there is often a band-like sensation across the trunk of the body, with sensory changes below.

Signs and Symptoms of Transverse Myelitis

• Bladder dysfunction and/or bowel motility problems
• Pain and discomfort
• Sensory symptoms such as numbness or tingling
• Weakness in the arms/legs

*The distribution of any of the above symptoms may be symmetric affecting either the legs, arms or both

Recognizing vaccine related Transverse Myelitis

It’s important to be aware of the potential risks associated with vaccines and transverse myelitis. Stay proactive in prioritizing your well-being and seek appropriate medical and legal assistance if needed when navigating the complexities of vaccines and potential health outcomes like transverse myelitis.

Understanding the symptoms and implications of vaccine-induced transverse myelitis, as well as the legal support available for claims, can empower you to make informed decisions about your health.

Can I be compensated for my vaccine related injury?

If you develop an injury after receiving a vaccine, you may be entitled to compensation. Here are the steps to take to pursue potential compensation:

Step 1 – Confirm Information on Recent Vaccines
Gather information on the date, brand (if noted), and type of vaccine(s) you’ve had within the last three years that preceded your symptoms. Once you have this information, move on to step two.

Step 2 – Notify the Doctor Who Diagnosed Your Injury
If you are currently being treated for your injury and realize that your symptoms began after a recent vaccination, you should make sure to bring this information to your medical provider’s attention. Your physician may not be aware of the connection, but having this information recorded in your patient file improves medical documentation that helps everyone get a better picture of any and all factors that could be the reason you developed a vaccine injury. In many cases, the medical providers are not aware of a person’s vaccination history and, therefore, may not consider the vaccination as a potential trigger.

Step 3- Seek a Free Consultation with an Experienced Vaccine Injury Attorney
If you received a vaccine and began to have symptoms following receipt of the vaccine, you may be eligible to receive monetary compensation through the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP).
