Battling for Recovery from Transverse Myelitis with Chiara Lionel Salim
Tuesday Dec 19, 2023
Tuesday Dec 19, 2023
Transverse myelitis (TM) is a neurological disorder characterised by spinal cord inflammation. This inflammation disrupts the normal transmission of nerve signals between the brain and the rest of the body, leading to various and sometimes life-threatening symptoms.
Joining us to share their harrowing experience of Transverse Myelitis is someone who needs little introduction to regulars of our YouTube Channel; Chiara last joined us on World Psoriasis Day to talk about the fantastic work she does as a psoriasis patient advocate and founder of Psoriasis Indonesia.
In this episode, however, we will discuss her terrifying experience of TM, the importance of her family as a support network and how she recently overcame paralysis from a flare.
A brilliant speaker and wonderful human being, this one is not to be missed.

On this episode, we are joined by Katy Pieris to talk about parenting with Rheumatoid Arthritis, the importance of exercise, why she volunteers and hear her arthritis story.
This felt more like two friends chatting at the bus stop than a video call between two people for the first time, and I really hope that mutual respect, candidness and relaxed conversation comes across in the recording. :)
