A journey of life with Deafness,Cochlear Implants and a mitochondrial condtion.
Welcome To My Blog...
This blog follows my journey of 2 different cochlear implants and my condition: Multiple mitochondrial DNA deletions I have started this blog 15 yrs too late but ill try my best to fit it all in! I have packed a lot of medical jargon into my life since I was 8.
There has been happiness and tears but I've come through it all with my family and my friends.I'm profoundly deaf as a result of a condition called Multiple mitochondrial DNA deletions or mitochondrial disease RRM2B as my professor Sir Dough Turnbull calls it! I have had since birth but I didn't find out this til I was 19. I have had 2 cochlear implants (at the age of 8 and then i lost the 1st cochlear implant in my right ear after 7 years due to a bad, accruing ear infection (which I couldnt fight off because of my mitochondrial condition) at the age of 15 and had a 2nd one implanted in my left ear that same year which I have now.

Hi Laura,
Sorry to hear about your pain. I have health problems also. Had experimental brain surgery in 2008-9. They also thought I had muscle probs. I understand dating problems. I haven't had one my entire adult life. 12 years.
I'm much stronger now. Hang in there and keep fighting. You're doing a good job.
