Paralyzed at age 24 from Transverse Myelitis

I can walk now but still have issues from this happening to me in 1998. Can't walk that well and often have people ask how I hurt my leg(s)... I call it gimpy, balance is poor and I fall a lot, I have to catheterize myself to pee, can't run, legs cramp a lot especially when sitting for a while, leg spasms often keep me from going to sleep or maintaining sleep, frequent UTIs, frequent constipation, ED, etc...
