I also have TM for the past 2-yrs. It is a scary thing to have happen to you. My TM is idiopathic, meaning no reason or cause for it to occur. I have been taking PT for the past 2-yrs and have regained some use of my legs, I can walk with a cane now but use my wheelchair for longer walks i.e. shopping. My lesion is at T8 and was paralyzed from the waist down. TM doesn't have any boundaries of who it affects. I still have what is called parapareis in my legs and still suffer from the other affects of the illness but am thankful that for the recovery I have made. There are varying degrees of recovery some make no recovery, some make complete recovery and some, including me, recover some function. Keep fighting, Dustin and don't give up.
