G'day, I'm from Australia, so please be patient with me folks... I would like to introduce myself. My name is Glendon, though my close friends (and Scouts) know me as 'Goat'. My beautiful family just call me '...Dodders'. And I'm a recently diagnosed Transverse-Myelitis [in April 2011] person. A survivor, I have been living with the symptoms since March-2007, when I had an auto-immune-reaction to a 'flu-vaccination'.
I have a story to tell and I've just started a blog. It's called - 'Bloody Wishful Thinking'. Ok, so it seemed to me absolutely the right thing to name it - Bloody Wishful Thinking - because I've chosen to accept my life for what it is, "warts'n'all"... and I want to share my story with you, so please check it out at; bloodywishfulthinking.blogspot.com I would love to hear from anyone. If you have just been diagnosed with TM [or you know someone] and you're frightened, read my story, I've been there! I've 'Googled-it'; been to 'Wikipedia'; and 'YouTube' too.. it's a strange feeling when you're lying in the hospital bed and the 'specialists' don't know what's going on? p.s. I've just started my Twitter journey too, you can now follow me at this link; https://twitter.com/#!/GoatDodders respectfully, *Goat Dodders (a.k.a Glendon) * * * *...Living with Transverse-Myelitis **since 2007,* *in Brisbane, **Queensland, **Australia...* * *
