@coolmelanie God gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers :) I have had to reinvent myself twice due to illness and what is called by others "disabilities"... What does not kill us makes us stronger ;) You, my friend, are living, WALKING, proof of this! Love this picture of you btw!
coolmelanie
@carenlovesgucci you're an inspiration! Thank you so much for taking the time to share with me. I feel very lucky to be here & that I've been able to help others like me through my blog, advocacy &activism, & social media. And I'm going to keep walking until I can leap...or maybe jog.

@nycrelady11 that means so much coming from you! It's always special to receive that kind of feedback from someone whose closet I admire and adore! Thanks for all the shares, I'm sure we'll be doing a lot of that back and forth from here on forward!

I had transverse myelitis 8 years ago. I was at UPENN for a week until I was stable to be transported to my docs in nyc. It's horrible and I'm sorry you had to experience that. I still have days where my legs feel like they're full of concrete but then I rest. How long did you rehab? They came to my house after. Crazy! Do they know where the inflammation originated from? They originally thought I had. GB
coolmelanie
@fashionchicaz mine was C3-T4... Autoimmune. Less than a year later I had a positive MRI for ms and both caused crps stage IV. Dr. Schwartzman was my Neuro until he retired. I was so sick I practically lived in the hospital so I wasn't able to do inpatient rehab and ended up needing a cane walker or wheelchair to get around until last year when I spent a littrke. Over a month in the ICU followed & inpatient rehab where I learned to talk and walk again...without any assistive device! I have a blog that advocates and talks about life with TM called Neuro detour. I still get banding, fatigue, no appetite, and concrete legs and my bladder, lower stomach, the region etc. pretty much remained paralyzed. It's wonderful to meet a fellow TMer. Do you belong to any of the groups on FB?
fashionchicaz
Dr Schwartzman at UPENN?? I believe I saw him. My main dr was Dr Kevin Judy, there. My doctors are in nyc. Mine was a little different. It isn't an autoimmune triggered TM. I have glioblastoma. It's a form of brain cancer. My first surgery was to remove as much as they could. I had contracted MRSA in the wound shortly after and after I went paralysed from the belly button down. I was in philly for about a week before they transported me back to nyc where I lived forever it seemed. I was finally released from rehab they sent a pt to my home everyday for 6 weeks. I had to use a wheelchair or walker for some time. Luckily, as far as the TM goes, I'm ok and it was triggered by inflammation to the myelin due to the MRSA. It still tests trace in my spinal fluid ick! I don't belong to any groups anymore. especially for the brain tumors. The type I have is aggressive and hard to treat so the support groups depress me. I also have my hands full with a miracle baby:) do you have good and bad days with the TM? Do they come in spurts? I notice I have quite a few days where I can barely stand
coolmelanie
@fashionchicaz I know all about GBMs. My uncle had one about 10 years ago. Treatment's come a long way, but girlfriend did you get a triple whammy! Any one of those will rock your world. If you ever want to vent I'm here for you. I get infusions and nerve blocks 20 min from NYC in Hackensack. I hope you're doing the best you can be. 😘
coolmelanie
@fashionchicaz forgot to answer your questions. Firstly, I've had two nearly back to back onsets of TM. Between that and my other Neuro & autoimmune disorders every day is a struggle but I call them better and worse days...a little mind trick doesn't hurt!
fashionchicaz
That is crazy! I'm born and raised in hackensack. My son was born there lol. I go to sloan. The problem I have been encountering with trials is the fact that the glial cells have invaded my adrenal gland which most of these meds need to filter so I've been turned away from 7. We've traveled as far as mayo and have been turned away. Do you live in philadelphia?
fashionchicaz
You're amazing! I just go on every day like tumors aren't there. I've been having more seizures lately and have had a shunt placement but it didn't help. I had a round of therapy and cannot do another so a waiting game commences. They're great at sloan and have no problem sending me to other hospitals if a therapy sounds positive or a good fit. I'm still young and not ready to go lol
fashionchicaz
Same here 😀 you can email me anytime you need to vent.

lovecolor7
What a story you have, would love to read your work when it's completed. I am here because medical problems keep me tied to my apartment but you are dealing with a lot more. The days are long yet short and I go between "if I just push harder" and "should I partake in the services offered in Norway?" It sucks. All I think about is I want to be normal for just 1 day, but it never, ever happens, I used to be very active too and I can truly empathize with not being able to move physically as you want. It's the hardest part for me, worse than the pain. Anyways, I don't know what we would do without posh. Keeps me distracted, maybe a little too much, lol! It never occurred to me to sell my clothes until I had to and glad that option is available . You sound like an amazing woman. You look wonderful as well💜
coolmelanie
@lovecolor7 I know your story so well. And things can always change; new experimental treatments are being discovered all the time. Do you have CRPS? I do & what you describes sounds a lot like it. If you ever want to talk, here's my # 412-608-8535. Gentle hugs!
letitb4u
@coolmelanie WOW and AMAZING you are. You are the special kind of person we could all use in our lives. Thanks for sharing your story with us. I have a feeling I just met a special angel♥
coolmelanie
@peaceful56 Thank you! You are so kind...an angel yourself.

singaporejones
Can't wait to see your memoir in print. ;) Stories like yours are the ones that remind us - all of us, no matter what life has thrown at us - that the only thing in the universe that can stop you is you. :) Congrats on going assistive-free & may you stay that way from now on.
coolmelanie
@singaporejones Thank you! You're so kind and supportive.
lmpasternack
@coolmelanie wow Melanie, that is amazing what you have overcome! I'm sad to hear what happened to you especially considering what you did for a living. You are so positive about it and that's awesome to know about you. I am disabled from just fibromyalgia and chronic pain from spine issues. I used to be a runner and weight lifter... I was stopped in my tracks after a neck injury and had a 2 level fusion a few years after that. I had to learn to cope with not being able to live my normal very athletic lifestyle. I still have my own pity parties but I'm going to take a screen shot of your story to read every time I start getting down... You just inspired me so much. Thank you. God puts people in your life right at the moment you need it. I'm convinced of that! You are in my prayers for continued recovery. Lastly, your closet is incredible!!!! 😊😘
lmpasternack
@sunnymaybray I wanted you to read her inspirational story. I took a screenshot so I can read it when I'm down. 😘
lmpasternack
@aktomodachi very inspirational. 💞
sunnymaybray
@coolmelanie - @lmpasternack -sent this 2 me. I am so happy to hear u r walking!!!! And my jaw dropped- my mommy's name is MELSNIE!!!!! Only very special people have that name!!!!! I had a hit & run and suffered a TBI and since then a blood disorder I had -(it was dormant) reared it's ugly head& has compromised my immune system. Besides arthritis or and lupus- they r unsure. But Melanie, the hardest thing 4 me is l that not only my brain injury turn my brain into a child but I can no longer walk without a walker and brace. I 2 danced- 4 the Martha Meredith Studio, I took dancing, acting in college. I wanted to be on Broadway. Instead I became a Masters level Therapist. I am big into helping animsls as well as people. Now I need help and it is exhausting!!!! Everything is so much of an effort. My Brain Dr. Say there is NO help 4 me here. That my state offers
NOTHING. I have lived in a nursing home had in home nurses. Now I apply 4 independent living. I'm sick of people's cruelty. They accuse me of being crazy or drunk. I want to educate them, and I will 1 day - like u- not w/ a book but go and tell my story. U cannot judge a book by its cover. I am so proud if u!!!! I will read ur book!!!! I will chat w/ u when u r diwn. I tell u my pride- u overcome!!!!! G-D bless & keep you. May He shine his countanance down upon u, and grant u PEACE!!!! KEEP IT UP ☆♡☆♡☆♡ @sunnymaybray
coolmelanie
@sunnymaybray what a profound story you have. I'm sorry you're going through this. People can be cruel, but they can also be amazingly kind. Thanks for sharing with me. You're my newest inspiration!
sunnymaybray
@coolmelanie U the inspiration! !! And yes u r right- there is kind 2. I live in a real small town and I unfortunately have mostly faced the cruelty. I have only ever seen I other hand able person here. I wish I live back in NYC. If I had my accident there - it all would be different. People here - r very closed minded, they not only not like me but they r prejudice rasist anti seemetic and now I see how cruel to people they jot understand. But u see- it coukd take 6 months but when I move to Independent living- my whole WORLD WILL CHANGE!!!!!! SO I AM HOPE FULL NOW. I HAVE REASON AND TH ER RE G-D WILL SHOW ME MY PURPOSE!!!!! I hope u know the singer Melanie.
She is so gd. I am happy happy happy 4 u!!!!!!!!
Thank u Melanie. MUCH HEALTH & BLESS ING

@coolmelanie Hi Melanie, what a killer closet, great unique items that fit great in my boutique..I'll be back to start bundling...est brian🌹
coolmelanie
@boutiquebisel Thank you! I have a huge backlog of vintage and one of a kind pieces, so if there's anything you're looking for let me know and I can take some quick pics even if I don't have the chance to create a complete listing.
boutiquebisel
@coolmelanie Hi Melanie, thank you so much for sharing your story with us and giving people a sense of humanity when they purchase something. In 2008 I fell down 17 stairs and my head landed in the wall. But after two years and a stay at Harvard Medical Center, they discovered that it was autonomic neurophysiology, where the brain tells the central nervous system to kill organs, ligaments, etc that require a message from the brain to work.
boutiquebisel
@coolmelanie I so understand the moment when you hear nothing can cure you that your internal foundation falls apart. After losing many of my organs, my then partner and now husband kept me focused and hopeful and now, like you, we beat the odds and are still here. I'm going to share this posting to some wonderful and kind women who have 500k followers and above, can you imagine, to spread the message you are in ongoing need. Let's help each other. Hugs brian🌹
coolmelanie
@boutiquebisel Thank you so much. I'm so sorry to hear about your losses. Since I wrote this I've been diagnosed with a handful more autoimmune diseases including autoimmune inner ear disease, lupus, Sjrogren's, thyroid, avascular necrosis, and a couple more....
coolmelanie
@boutiquebisel ...(cont) The former two were just diagnosed last month after a year of doctors saying my new symptoms were psychosomatic. I've experienced so much kindness. Being physically sick has made me more mentally strong. I'm sure you can relate. You and your husband are special people.
