Bio

My names Vanessa and I’m attending College to eventually become a Great Doctor. I’m taking it slow because I’ve been force to face obstacles that most people wouldn’t be able to handle. When I was 20, I was diagnosed with a rare neurological condition called Stiff Person Syndrome, and because of that I’ve had to put some things in hold to be able to overcome what I’ve got to face. I attended Our Lady of the Lake University in San Antonio for two years as Biology Pre Med major. I miss OLLUSA, but hope to go back someday to finish off what I started. If not I’m sure I’ll be able to get my degree elsewhere and get to achieve what I hope to become.

I love my family even though they annoy the crap out of me sometimes. They are a big part of my life no matter what they say or do sometimes, and with that said I will always love them. Lately we have been able to start up a new company that has brought our family closers than ever. My friends also play a big role in my life because without them sometimes I don’t know what to do. They are able to keep my world center when it’s all over the place. Over the past years I’ve lost too many people in my life and have learned so many lessons along the way, so it’s been hard to get through it all. With all that said I’ve gotten though it all with the help of my family and friends. I hope someday I’ll be able to help those who have helped me get though it all and that’s from all the small things to all the big things we’ve been through.

And with all that said I guess you can tell that my family and friends mean the world to me!

What's going on with life now!

So you might think I have it all going for me now... yeah that's not the deal see I haven't been able to go back to physical therapy or occupational therapy nor have I been able to go back to the gym. I'm on more medication then I have ever been. My cardio has given me release to go back and do all those things, but I've got obstacles after obstacles to go through. First they cardio doc wanted all my doctor's to give me the OK to go back. So second my neuro doc gave me the OK to go back to pt and ot, because I was stiffer then I was before. She continued my IVIG but keeps pushing chemo, although I don't want it I rather stay on IVIG a lot less side effects not to mention I think I'm doing pretty darn good on it. Then came my PCP she was like right away all chilled back yup go back to pt, and I was till I had an episode... My new episodes which we all like to call Vanessa falling in to a COMA! Yeah that's right I fall into such a deep sleep it's c...

Oh Gosh it December Already and All This has Happened!

Who would have known that year would go back so fast it started off rocky to say the least and now look at where I am... As January came it was sure that I wouldn't see Physical and Occupational Therapy for a while. My heart just wasn't taking it, so it seemed that was off the table till there was a solution. Although we all knew what that was we didn't want to think about it, surgery. Once the time came the doctors told my mom she'll be out in one hour that hour came and went, and I was still in surgery my cardio doctor was not taking no for an answer. My parents were updated on my status so they weren't to alarmed, but when he came out and said I was out and in recovery he explained to them that no matter their efforts my heart rate was never going to be normal at that alone was a problem. I was going to have to be a heart medication to help stabilize my heart rate, but it was almost never going to go lower then 80 beast per min. You might think that's norma...
