I really hate that you were so young when TM hit. Are you married? Do
have any family around you? Are you doing any physical therapy?

I feel as though TM has robbed me of all of my hopes and dreams. I'm 25 yrs
old (23 when TM hit) and I had my dream job and had just graduated from uni.
I miss my job terribly I worked in early years and it was my passion. I miss
the interaction I had with the children, parents, colleagues, and basically
the big wide world. I loved going to the gym but I am now paralysed from the
shoulders down so this is now also a no go area. I loved the buzz it gave
you and found it relaxing. I didn't actually know how much I'd miss driving,
managing my toileting needs and how it had robbed me of all of my
independence, confidence and self-esteem and send me spiralling into a pit
of deep dark depression. But, I am slowly regaining my confidence, setting
up fundraising days for my new wheelchair and I have started to write a
book. TM will only beat you if you let it!!
