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.

Have your tissues at the ready!
