My story

Wednesday 2nd Apr Hi my name is Patrick my story so far is I suffered a severe ABI when I was about six years old in a coma for 4 days and my parents were told I if I woke up I would never do anything for myself again, fortunately I woke up 4 days later and said I have show tell tomorrow which was actually the week prior I joined Murdoch research who were doing a study to see how kids who suffered an ABI at young age went on their life into adulthood with schooling and working just normal life study I would meet up every couple month or year do study get an MRI in my early twenties I was going for my last one and they noticed some lesions on my brain on the previous one they assumed it MS but being a research their machines weren't up to scratch so they sent me to go see a specific at the royal Melbourne Hospital and about a month after my first son was born I was formally diagnosed with MS. That was almost 12 years ago I've been on multiple treatments over the years had alot of ups and downs had various relationships broken as I don't think people truly understand what I was going through and were getting frustrated dealing with symptoms that come with it ii totally understand as it can be frustrating at times to some point I had given up and didn't care until I met my recent partner who truly understand and helps look after everything that comes with it I got a great team around me over the last coupe years and doing everything I can to keep working probably the fittest I've ever been and getting the most out of life. I'm doing the 5k walk this year but my intention is to do the 10k run next year thankyou for taking the time to read my story do far. Share
