Jan Allmon was paralyzed at T7 in March, 2011 after the onset of transverse myelitis. The iwearblue blog documents her struggles with paralysis, but more importantly showcases her strength and determination to cope with this neurological disorder and parapalegia. Please support Jan and others dealing with transverse myelitis by helping us to raise awareness.

Thankful for Hugs
Today is Thanksgiving Day and there are a thousand and one things to be grateful for. At the top of my list- I'm thankful for health, family and hugs from my chickadee. Happy Thanksgiving!
Transverse Myelitis is a neurological disorder caused by inflammation across both sides of one level, or segment, of the spinal cord. Attacks of inflammation can damage or destroy myelin, the fatty insulating substance that covers nerve cell fibers. This damage causes nervous system scars that interrupt communications between the nerves in the spinal cord and the rest of the body.
