Transverse Myelitis (TM) and Vaccine Reactions

Transverse myelitis, or TM, is a neurological disorder involving inflammation of the spinal cord.  Serious damage is caused by attacks of inflammation, and so is the destruction of myelin, the fatty insulating substance that covers nerve cell fibers. This damage results in nervous system scars that interrupt communications between nerves in the spinal cord and the entire body.  Studies show that rarely, vaccines trigger Transverse Myelitis.

Transverse Myelitis is an autoimmune disorder, which means that that body’s immune system has gone haywire.  Vaccinations, in addition to viral and bacterial infections, are known to be triggers. The influenza vaccine, or flu shot, is one of the more common immunizations that causes TM.  Our attorneys are experienced in representing clients who contracted Transverse Myelitis after a flu shot.  Review our case results for TM here.

Symptoms of Transverse Myelitis

Symptoms of Transverse Myelitis include a loss of spinal cord function that lasts from several hours to possibly even several weeks. TM usually starts as a sudden onset of lower back pain, muscle weakness, or abnormal sensations in the toes and feet. Then, it rapidly progresses to more severe symptoms, including paralysis, urinary retention, and loss of bowel control.

Prognosis of Transverse Myelitis Triggered by a Vaccine

Some patients recover from Transverse Myelitis with minor or no residual problems. However, others suffer permanent impairments that affect their ability to perform ordinary tasks. Most patients have only one episode of Transverse Myelitis.Although, a small percentage experience a recurrence.

MTLaw has experience in representing clients with TM due to Vaccines

MCT Law previously represented a number of patients that have gotten compensation for injuries resulting from transverse myelitis following a vaccination.  These cases involved vaccines including the flu vaccine, hepatitis B vaccine, tetanus vaccine, and measles mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine.

We cannot thank you enough for the services your firm has provided for Marie and I in our time of need. I was very apprehensive in selecting a firm so far from our home, knowing that the process would occur without face-to-face contact. While working with your staff members, I was able to overcome the distance issue. I could not have chosen a finer firm near or far to represent us.
John and Marie (Last Name Withheld for Privacy)
My first response is "Wow!" It has only been 11 months since I first heard of "SIRVA" and an HHS program that awarded compensation to its victims and only 7 months since MC&T accepted my case. Your news seems overwhelming, partly because I doubted the federal program would value my injuries, even if it accepted my claim as legitimate, and partly because I expected the process to be lengthy and drawn out. I feel that your efforts on my part made all the difference.

Thanks to you I am living comfortably in my own home with assistance. After my devastating GBS diagnosis from the flu vaccine six years ago, I didn't know what to do. Thank goodness I found you and your law firm. Thank you so much!

There are some good attorneys, some great and then there are the phenomenal ones, Alison is a phenomenal attorney... When she put together the demand letter she was able to explain what I had been through and how I had felt in ways that I thought no one would nor could ever understand. I want to thank your firm but personally thank all that had a hand in resolving my case.
