Who are you? What is MOG?
Hello! I'm so glad you asked, my name is Indy, I'm 27 years old and I have a rare neurological disease. MOG/MOGAD (Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein Antibody Disease). It's kind of a mouthful, as just about every medical condition is. If you want to get down to the sciency portion, you should check out TheMogProject.com because I failed Chemistry in college. So I will be using a lot of metaphors, because that's how I relate things. We should probably start from the beginning? Yeah the beginning.
So let's skip back 21 years ago, as little Indy was coming into childhood and school. Well, my best friend at the time (for privacy sake, names will be changed) Terry, had glasses. Little me wanting to fit in, also wanted glasses, especially because I couldn't see as well as others. So After a visit to an eye doctor, I had bifocals. Yes, tiny child with bifocals.
And before you read any further I hit the rare disease lottery. I was also diagnosed with WPW (Wolff Parkinson-White Syndrome), which is a condition in which your heart has extra electrical pathways. I got lucky, I had two extra pathways! So when I would work out or run around, or just be a kid my heart would start racing, and it wouldn't slow down. My record was 325 bpm, and I stayed conscious. I'm apperently a medical marvel.
And just writing all this is making me tired, so I'm gonna take a break and go play some Sims 4. So here's Indy signing off, with the rest of the stories to come.
