My latest thoughts on TMAU.

Lately I've been able to keep a positive attitude and venture out to parties and a new volunteering project. But it seems like it's a daily struggle. It's seems impossible not to stress out when you are starving, and cleaning yourself and clothes at an OCD-like enthusiasm. My friends don't know I have it and try very hard to not react to me. But it hurts when they struggle not to gag or cough. It's not fair to them. It's not fair to me. It's a horrible condition and I wish someone would do something about it. I can only muster the bravery of a fire-fighter everyday just to leave my house for so long before it will break me. Btw...I've tried just about every treatment available. I can't smell myself most of the time but I haven't noticed a change in how people react to me.
