My wonderful wife made a video of me walking at Redondo beach, 2.5 months after the onset of my illness. I got an L2 SCI from a rare neuroimmunological disease (ADEM) and rehab was difficult. I'm not 100% yet but getting there. I had started to recover the use of my legs for walking again after 2 months at UWMC. Many thanks to everyone who has supported & helped us during these last 3 months. I dedicate all my rehabilitation efforts to my wife Motoko (thanks Moko-chan!).

  • @ILikeFryz i also had seizures, loss of appetite(lost 30 pounds), slept ALL DAY.

  • i had ADEM- i lost all vision in my left eye and some hearing. i still don't get around the same.... i get woozy and trip and stuff. the worst part of having this disease is the EXTREMELY PAINFUL MIGRANES!

  • i had ADEM too in may ( although im 13) i kno how much it can suck altho im fully recovered- i think the adult versions really diferennt tho..

  • excellent i am t1 spinal cord injury and can run! people would'nt know i had it only when i walk for about a mile my right ankle is weak and i start to limp

  • great job! I just had spinal surgery in July and hope to balance such as you in some time. Thanks for the encouragement.

  • great job on rehab.. it's a long, hard road!

    I have TM (since 2004) and can walk now with a leg brace and a cane...

    Good luck to you.
