LIFE OF A PERSON WITH TM IN A "SLUMDOG” COUNTRY

Posted on June 14, 2009 at 7:58am 7 Comments

I am not a great writer, but I think my story is important to communicate. I feel compelled to tell you my story.



Well in 2003, I was diagnosed with tm. I got a sudden pain in my shoulder area which was unbearable! Soon I lost my sensation in my hands and legs.



I was admitted in the hospital. It was Sunday. Most of the docs are not available on Sundays. Anyway, one neurosurgeon was present.

When I was in the hospital bed I still remember a comment by a young doctor.… Continue

TM VICTIM ARE THE BEST PEOPLE ON THE EARTH!!!!!!

Posted on February 14, 2009 at 12:20pm 4 Comments

My name is Abhijit Ganguly. I am 24 years old and from Kolkata, India. One evening in 2003, I was watching a football match on TV while lying on my bed. Suddenly, I felt severe pain in my shoulder and throughout my back, and the pain was rapidly intensifying with every second. I rubbed a balm in the affected area, but it did nothing to relieve the pain. The pain was like a burning sensation and was severe. I was unable to sit and eventually I had to lie on the bed. I skipped eating my dinner.… Continue

Hello Abhijit,

I'm 27 now... not yet married. Not have guts to marry bcoz of TM. Its very difficult part to tell a girl what i'm suffering from & what i cant do as compare to a normal person. I really dont want to ruin any girls life bcoz of my health issues. So thinking to wait for some more time. If i get any understanding girl, will see for the next step.

I don't have any contact in ur side that i can help u in job hunt. But if get any opportunity for MSC i can forward u. I cant access orkut from office, so will let u know when i can able access it.

Nice to meet you Abhijit. Hope all is well for you at this time. We have 1 foot
of snow and still going strong. My dog loves it. So does my white cat but I can't see her to well when we go out to play. Is it summer in India? We expect snow for the next week and it does make my TM act up some. I could use a nice warm place right now. Bless you and take care,,,, Rose N

I am getting ready for Christmas.. it is so very cold here, -30C with the wind chill and we are getting more snow too. Nice to look at but not so nice to try to walk in with a cane and a leg brace!
I am now a Nurse, I got TM in 2004 and worked hard to get walking again so that I could go to school to be a nurse. I went back in 2005 and graduated in 2008. It was hard work but well worth it. I love it!
