Ep 164 Stevens-Johnson Syndrome Timothy “TJ” West Is Outrunning His Demons


Listen Later

Timothy West trying to outrun his demons. He was a happy four-year-old who loves cars, until one day he was rushed to the emergency room for an ear infection, he was given amoxicillin to cure that air infection, and it did, but at the same time because of the new problems. TJ found a condition called Stevens-Johnson syndrome which is a hi allergic reaction to the medication. It made all of his skin burn off, hair fell out, and so much more. The one thing he still has from this condition 30 years later, TJ is legally blind. He had to navigate this world with a very mediocre vision, on top of that being molested in school, bullied, mental health, and more. He is now 33 years old, he created his own podcast called My Blurred Opinion to give a safe space to others to be themselves and to share their amazing stories.
