Symptoms started at work

2005 l was at work and then l could not write.  Went to health clinic and they called an ambulance. My care was horrible in ER  and gave me a cat scan and sent me home as nothing showed up.  By this time l could not walk and Dr. said l must be having a panic attack.  Went home and crawled into house and sat in recliner.  Husband said l want you upstairs so l tried to but could not do it.  Went back to hospital but was transferred to another hospital.  Started steroids and so much blood work. Finally told l had Tm.  Was sent to a nursing where they had rehab. and learned to walk again.
