I had the privileged of having tammie as my classmate & a friend from poly last year and i wanna say she was one of the most positive , nicest person I’ve ever met. Even with her condition, she still put in 110% in everything that she does from studies to project to exams and never failed to make everyone smile. Just want to end of by saying, thank you tammie for always staying positive :), I hope your condition gets better one day and thank you Zula for interviewing her 😊.
Tammie is such a strong and brave individual. Dealing with multiple illnesses all at once is a huge challenge. Don’t let your sickness get in the way of living life the way you actually want to live it. Life’s so short, so do make the best of it. I hope everything will go well for her. She may still be young, but I believe she can always do so much more than what she’s already capable of.
Tammie always stay positive and mentally strong. I know it sure is very tough for you. I was a three times cancer survivor since 18 and still is even when i’m 27 years old this year! Life was tough previously but glad that i endured the whole initial process of ops and chemos😊✨ you got this!!
I’ve gone through the whole “it’s all in your head” “we don’t believe you” “it’s just conversion disorder” “you aren’t in pain” etc etc and being sent to a psychiatrist. (It really really sucks when doctors don’t believe you, and also think that certain diagnosises are real because they’ve never heard if them before). She was one of the only good psychiatrists I’ve ever seen but she was literally mad at the doctors who said I was faking it, and she also called the very big hospital I was going to tell them that they have to help me. Her words stuck in my mind “there is nothing is wrong with her mind. But there is something very wrong with her body, and it your job to help her”. She was a godsend. But it wasn’t until I lost 30lbs in less than 3 months that one of my doctors took action. (I’m 5’6 and my normal weight was 120). He direct admitted me because of pancreatitis, gastroparissis, and SMAS were literally killing me and I was starving to death. I was on tube feeds a couple weeks but because of how bad my dismotility and reverse motility is my intestines kept pushing the tube and feed into my stomach and I lost another 4 pounds the first week in the hospital. I’ve been on tpn for almost 11 years but still have constant nausea and vomiting and pain every day. I also have POTS, Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, MCAD, neuropathy, endometriosis, severe anemia, dystonia, seizures, osteoporosis and also another rare disease called MALS that requires a major surgery but am not a candidate (the doctor said he would never operate on me because I wouldn’t live through the surgery) and am completely bedbound. This life is not easy nor is it fun. Just two night ago I was in the ER again and they hurt me and didn’t help me. I literally wait until I feel like I’m actively dying before I’ll go to the ER because of how awful they are. I really hope Tammy is doing well and continuing to live life to the fullest. I know how hard it is to live without food especially when most social gatherings and holidays all revolve around food. I’m rooting for you Tammy!!
I feel Tammie's tiredness. I have CKD now and have been for about 15 months. I have nausea, fluctuations of blood pressure, anemia and whole load of other symptoms. I have vertigo as well. I lost a lot of weight in a span of a short time. Before dialysis, the only thing I could eat was purely vegan diet with only vegetables and fruits. Even that I will throw up sometimes. I can eat some things now but still constrict myself to alternating a meat based diet and vegetarian/pure vegan diet. I lost a lot of mass and rendered down to 76kg from 130kg. I have gained weight after going through dialysis. I fainted a few times and was admitted into ICU and went through a lot of treatments/procedures including blood transfusion. Currently going through hemodialysis. I lost both my kidney functions. But despite all I have been through, I feel like my life is not as tough as what Tammie have to go through and this is the chance for me to do better things. Being young also puts me in the priority list for transplant. Tammie however might not have the options/luxury that I have. Having chronic illness definitely pull your spirit down especially at a young age. I am older than Tammie, I am in my late 20s. I cannot imagine having 4 chronic illnesses. Tammie, you're really strong for that! I applaud you. All the best to you for your treatments. Edit: If you're wondering, I am not diabetic. I am hypoglycemic. My kidneys overworked from having too much protein and water consumption.
Tammie never fail to inspire people! Never fail to have people keep going! Her resilience and determination is what makes people see that, hey, anything is possible! Continue living life to its fullest! Lots of loves Tammie! 😬💪🏻❤️
all I could say Tammy is so much more positive. I had thyroid when I was 12, and had to retain for another year as I was so sick. no medication was given as I was too young, the doctor would prefer I get diagnose again when im much older. it got worse when I was 17, that year was n level year secondary four, it started off with having trouble sleeping for first day of school, it got worse and I put on a lot of weight as I cant sleep and only fall asleep one to two hours before time to wake up to prep for school. someone from my class shouted my name in the classroom and said I was fat. back then I was an introvert, hearing such remark, my brain functioned it as a disgrace. I stopped eating. I initially started off not eating breakfast because school likes to schedule running in the morning. and when I raised that im full, I cant run, everyone thought im making excuses but they didn't know I was having acid reflux. whenever I started running my breathing would be very noisy similar to asthma, but I didn't go to see a doctor regarding it, and I also experience brain numb, back then im soft spoken and bad at describing details. so whenever there's morning run or pe especially 2.4km everyone would kept scolding me as I walk instead of run, I would just tolerate how pathetically sad it was. so when someone in the class shouted across the classroom that I was fat, the disgrace became depression. I stopped eating, slowly my leg doesnt have muscle, my leg muscle was soft like jelly and started walking like a cripple, my leg would jerk every steps I make. sitting down on the parade square for morning assembly, when we were required to stand to sing national anthem, my leg cant even stand, I remembered my entire class started yelling to ask me to stand, but I cant, I even in my mind told my brain that I want to stand, but I simply cant, my mind was desperately screaming for help inside. I even asked help from my friend as I couldn't stand but they just leave me in a lurch, and the rest of classmates at the back got furiously frustrated with me instead. I started experience very bad intense headache, my form teacher was speechlessly the best, he made arrangement with the principal to arrange me to be seated at the side of the parade square, but I got scolded by the rest of the schoolmates and teachers as they were aware, for me as introvert I took it as scolding and kept it to myself, I start avoiding school. I was so depressed to the point, when my teacher, cohort manager and even school counsellor came to my house, I hid myself in my room instead. as back then I was rather disgusted by my body image, I was fat and my leg was bend to a weird shape, and walks like a cripple. I would drink ton of water at one go hoping it would wash away the misery, especially hoping my brain would feel numb to deal with all. I didn't further my studies, I didn't even went to collect my n level cert and only till this year I have to pay for the certificate to be mailed to me as I need it for job interview. I spend the past eight year hiding myself at home. watching UA-cam, drama be it local Chinese/English, Korean drama. I would just spend all day long keeping myself busy with watching drama. in the recent years I tried to look for jobs but failed all. I tried looking for many years, went through countless interviews and rejection, last week I got a job, recommended by my father's friend. saying all I need to do was answer phone call, I took the job and quit the very next day. not only I don't even understand the job, as to me it sounds like Ive to cover clerk, admin, security guard, unlock the door whenever someone enters the office, it was furiously annoying. I also have to arrange work. also have to answer phone call from LTA and migrant worker. I was having difficulty understanding what was my colleague was saying as her English sounds odd to me. but she told me my position, nobody works past two week. on my second day of work, I fully understand what she meant, the job load was ridiculous. in the morning have to load every migrant workers' van cash card and off load when they end work, which means need to OT. I quit mainly it burnt off majority of my brain cell and it took few days to recover. thereafter arrange work and have to goggle map to view the exact location for the lamp post no. when I pass the contract back, I didn't sign as my name was printed wrongly, I quit instead as I felt rather depressed as it burns off my brain cells. the work was 4-6 persons job and qualification suitable for those with diploma or degree. kind glad my name was printed wrong as I read through the contract and found my job duties were 4-6 persons job. I failed in my studies, I also failed in getting a job. worse of all, every doctor appointment I have to deal with my doctor asking me to do MRI, kept saying ive brain tumour. initially when the doctor said that eight years ago, I thought I really have brain tumour but after MRI it proved the doctor wrong, she then said I have issue with my forehead which is incurable. for the past year I hid myself by watching drama all day long. but everyone got angry with me as im enjoying, and similar to good for nothing. but I had constant headache, it was only till circuit breaker I stopped having daily headache. but this year it came frequently but luckily not daily.
The doctors who misdiagnosed her for having eating disorder should be sued for malpractice! 🤬 And people who keep staring at her are just bloody rude & should be ashamed of themselves!! 🖕🖕🖕
That is a really irresponsible decision to order the psych referral possibly to wash their hands off a patient. Great that she found a proper team of doctors after that ordeal.
I never comment on UA-cam videos. Even the ones that I subscribe. But I just have to say that she is an inspiration and I support her goals in spreading awareness. Thank you Zula for creating a platform for these type of stories to be told. Stories that inspire. Stories that matter. I sound so cheesy. Eww.
Stay strong. In life there is no perfect. I also got seizure when I was 2 years old until now. The doctor says medicine is only for controlling the illness. But the worst case is brain surgery . So I when for EEG and MRI. So my main point is in life you are not the best or worst. Cherish every moment in life .
I actually saw her tiktok on my fyp this yr but recently not anym. (FYI for those that gonna read this story) I'm currently 18 but 19 next month. To sum up, basically when I was younger, I had tons of different types of medical conditions(which will be explained below) & thank you to whoever that took the time to read the story although it's long. & may have broken engglish cuz I type till my hand tired already haha. Recently last year, I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism which I'm not pretty much sure how I got it.... (& since then I've been on check-up & taking medication everyday(for the first few months, I didn't took them regularly so for a few check-ups my conditions was bad & there was once(recently this yr) where I was having a lack of blood so I got to take a medication where it helps to like have more blood agn(forgot the medication name....) and I hated it at the very beginning) & yea few months ago, my doctor was unhappy about my condition & warned me to eat them regularly if not they gonna admit me into the hospital if I dun remember taking the med... cuz back in Jan-March I was pretty much busy with my part-time job as I was on holiday till my higher nitec starts on (April 2022) & yea I usually forget to take them in the morn and cuz of that, I experienced like feeling breathless very easily after running for the bus & even have times where I almost fainted outside cuz I got dizzy but then like recently my doct didn't scold cuz I ran out of medication & they did prescribe more of the medication but then the other time me & my dad didn't saw the medication letter cuz I finished them when I was at Malaysia back in June-July & the doctor oso said that my this current condition will not be cured easily. It will need time to cure mayb for years or if my current med doesn't help, they have another type of medication & if that doesn't work as well, they said that I might need to have surgery. Okay, so here's how I got diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. So like for me I always have checks-up at KKH but once u r like 18?? u need to be transferred out of the hospital & go to the adult hospital. The one I chose to go one is Segnakgn General Hospital (as it's near my house) but then during the full body check-up the doct found this medical condition.... so like the process took even longer,..... & I almost got a heart surgery as there was some problem in my heart & I remember that I could feel some sharp pain once in. a while back then & then like nth much. & I'm not pretty much that sure if there was a hole in it.... but aft the scanning it seems fine so no idea...(i don't remember much abt that anymore as rn every 3months, I'm check up on my hyperthyroidism conditions so this one Ik more) Tbh, sometimes in life I felt that my life was kinda unfair & always have negativity thoughts even till now but then this year back in April I was being invited to church(note: I'm not Christian I'm buddhist but I enjoyed going church but recently didn't have the time to go due to bz schedule & upcoming exam) by my friend & from there every really changed like the people there are very positive . I always listen to what the people share in church & some stories do touched my heart till I feel like Ishould continue to live on my life & the people there are very like positive.Because in my household, I always get all those medical conditions unlike where my older sister don't really have that much.... Because since young, I've been through at least 3 times of velocardiofacial syndrome surgery . Basically when I was younger, when I speak, my family or other people would not understand what I spoke & I had to go through surgery & speech therapy from childhood>Secondary 1??? or till P6 & cuz of this condition, I got bullied by the guys in class(primary school which my parents are still clueless about it till this date) where they make fun of my voice. Then moving on, back in P5(2014) I was like having Scoliosis problem & since then I started wearing a braces to school all the way up till 2018(Secondary 3 year). I went to a girls school & I was lucky to have pinafore to cover over it & like I need wear that 24/7 which was annoying & back then I started to learn dancing(2017) from Kpop songs but it was hard to dance with it... but then my condition got worse & needed a surgery & my last surgery was this condition(been 4 yrs w/o the braces & I feel much more comfortable now & at least could dance) & yea after the surgery, I need to relearn how to walk,write & shower my back properly.. How I got diagnose with Scoliosis & hearing problem is through sch health check-up. Scolisis was back in pri sch health check-up in such while for hearing problem was through my sec sch health check-up. & honestly speaking I blame the people outside the venue for my hearing test. Cuz like I don't have any hearing problems cuz whenever I go for check-up my hearing test are always the same as the prev one.... & I went for the chec-up was cuz of the noises outside the room. like my class make too much noises then I could not hear the test properly & yea until tdy I'm still pissed on it cuz they like make me go for this like irrelevant check-up... cuz my hearing is fine tho. & I'm too lazy to continue to type but here's just some of what I've been through as well.
I followed Tammie when I myself was admitted to hospital for surgery. It really helps to know that someone out there understands the patient experience 🥲, I think she helped me through hahah. This is maybe 2 months ago and today this video pops up on my youtube, clicked on it so fast!
Very sad story actually but this is sometimes the problems With better healthcare, you get more health problems in the future. Cases like these are usually hereditary, her offspring Will carry the gene but might or might not express it. In the past, this gene that get expressed WILL result in an early death hence killing the progression of the gene, but With better healthcare, more diseases are treatable and alot of things like Weaker immune system Which in the past result in a death before 16 years old are treated and life is preserved. This is definitely a good thing but it also allows a weaker gene pool in the society and we will have to find ways to cope with more health problems in the future.. The dilemma of life preservation medical care..
u make it sound like she should be grateful for this “popularity”. the fact of it all is that she would rather be healthy and free of illnesses than be “popular” for having to deal with 4 CHRONIC illnesses. pls fix ur messed up mindset.
Thank you Tammie for sharing not only your journey but also your encouraging thoughts
Tammie = 💪

This is unfortunately not rare
tammie seems like sucha fun and outgoing person to be friends with
That is a really irresponsible decision to order the psych referral possibly to wash their hands off a patient. Great that she found a proper team of doctors after that ordeal.
Hope she can reveal the hospital/specialist, maybe just a hint to avoid any legal repurcussions. Wanna avoid that hospital/specialist in future.
Ya lor doctor is suck man
I never comment on UA-cam videos. Even the ones that I subscribe.
But I just have to say that she is an inspiration and I support her goals in spreading awareness. Thank you Zula for creating a platform for these type of stories to be told. Stories that inspire. Stories that matter.
I sound so cheesy. Eww.
Such a strong person, Tammie!!!!!!!!!! Going through all those at such a young age as well.. I hope you'll get better and better!
Thanks for sharing your story Tammie. Such a strong gal. And Leah is such a great host too. She really listens and ask great questions.
Thank you for sharing your experience. its never easy to handle medical conditions especially rare ones at a young age.

A big thank you to Tammie for sharing her story. Totally impressive! What a star!
Stay strong. In life there is no perfect. I also got seizure when I was 2 years old until now. The doctor says medicine is only for controlling the illness. But the worst case is brain surgery . So I when for EEG and MRI. So my main point is in life you are not the best or worst. Cherish every moment in life .

wow i can't believe even she is battling 4 chronic illnesses she still enjoy her life and feel ok, wow get well soon❤️🤟
Respect to you Tammie. I have so much respect for the strength and fortitude you have.
I actually saw her tiktok on my fyp this yr but recently not anym. (FYI for those that gonna read this story) I'm currently 18 but 19 next month. To sum up, basically when I was younger, I had tons of different types of medical conditions(which will be explained below) & thank you to whoever that took the time to read the story although it's long. & may have broken engglish cuz I type till my hand tired already haha.
Recently last year, I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism which I'm not pretty much sure how I got it.... (& since then I've been on check-up & taking medication everyday(for the first few months, I didn't took them regularly so for a few check-ups my conditions was bad & there was once(recently this yr) where I was having a lack of blood so I got to take a medication where it helps to like have more blood agn(forgot the medication name....) and I hated it at the very beginning) & yea few months ago, my doctor was unhappy about my condition & warned me to eat them regularly if not they gonna admit me into the hospital if I dun remember taking the med... cuz back in Jan-March I was pretty much busy with my part-time job as I was on holiday till my higher nitec starts on (April 2022) & yea I usually forget to take them in the morn and cuz of that, I experienced like feeling breathless very easily after running for the bus & even have times where I almost fainted outside cuz I got dizzy but then like recently my doct didn't scold cuz I ran out of medication & they did prescribe more of the medication but then the other time me & my dad didn't saw the medication letter cuz I finished them when I was at Malaysia back in June-July & the doctor oso said that my this current condition will not be cured easily. It will need time to cure mayb for years or if my current med doesn't help, they have another type of medication & if that doesn't work as well, they said that I might need to have surgery.
Okay, so here's how I got diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. So like for me I always have checks-up at KKH but once u r like 18?? u need to be transferred out of the hospital & go to the adult hospital. The one I chose to go one is Segnakgn General Hospital (as it's near my house) but then during the full body check-up the doct found this medical condition.... so like the process took even longer,..... & I almost got a heart surgery as there was some problem in my heart & I remember that I could feel some sharp pain once in. a while back then & then like nth much. & I'm not pretty much that sure if there was a hole in it.... but aft the scanning it seems fine so no idea...(i don't remember much abt that anymore as rn every 3months, I'm check up on my hyperthyroidism conditions so this one Ik more)
Tbh, sometimes in life I felt that my life was kinda unfair & always have negativity thoughts even till now but then this year back in April I was being invited to church(note: I'm not Christian I'm buddhist but I enjoyed going church but recently didn't have the time to go due to bz schedule & upcoming exam) by my friend & from there every really changed like the people there are very positive . I always listen to what the people share in church & some stories do touched my heart till I feel like Ishould continue to live on my life & the people there are very like positive.Because in my household, I always get all those medical conditions unlike where my older sister don't really have that much....
Because since young, I've been through at least 3 times of velocardiofacial syndrome surgery . Basically when I was younger, when I speak, my family or other people would not understand what I spoke & I had to go through surgery & speech therapy from childhood>Secondary 1??? or till P6 & cuz of this condition, I got bullied by the guys in class(primary school which my parents are still clueless about it till this date) where they make fun of my voice. Then moving on, back in P5(2014) I was like having Scoliosis problem & since then I started wearing a braces to school all the way up till 2018(Secondary 3 year). I went to a girls school & I was lucky to have pinafore to cover over it & like I need wear that 24/7 which was annoying & back then I started to learn dancing(2017) from Kpop songs but it was hard to dance with it... but then my condition got worse & needed a surgery & my last surgery was this condition(been 4 yrs w/o the braces & I feel much more comfortable now & at least could dance) & yea after the surgery, I need to relearn how to walk,write & shower my back properly..
How I got diagnose with Scoliosis & hearing problem is through sch health check-up. Scolisis was back in pri sch health check-up in such while for hearing problem was through my sec sch health check-up. & honestly speaking I blame the people outside the venue for my hearing test. Cuz like I don't have any hearing problems cuz whenever I go for check-up my hearing test are always the same as the prev one.... & I went for the chec-up was cuz of the noises outside the room. like my class make too much noises then I could not hear the test properly & yea until tdy I'm still pissed on it cuz they like make me go for this like irrelevant check-up... cuz my hearing is fine tho. & I'm too lazy to continue to type but here's just some of what I've been through as well.
I followed Tammie when I myself was admitted to hospital for surgery. It really helps to know that someone out there understands the patient experience 🥲, I think she helped me through hahah. This is maybe 2 months ago and today this video pops up on my youtube, clicked on it so fast!
Tammie is so brave & optimistic. 🙏 Keep up the great work, I am rooting for you. 💜

I honestly think she can be an oncologist...I don't even think I can't remember so many medical terms...
lol. incompetent doctors who are quick to judge and refer to pysch. am very interested to know the names of the doctors
Very sad story actually but this is sometimes the problems With better healthcare, you get more health problems in the future.
Cases like these are usually hereditary, her offspring Will carry the gene but might or might not express it. In the past, this gene that get expressed WILL result in an early death hence killing the progression of the gene, but With better healthcare, more diseases are treatable and alot of things like Weaker immune system Which in the past result in a death before 16 years old are treated and life is preserved. This is definitely a good thing but it also allows a weaker gene pool in the society and we will have to find ways to cope with more health problems in the future..
The dilemma of life preservation medical care..
TBH, she's lucky that she's good looking. Else she wouldn't have gotten so popular for illnesses. Don't mean to be mean, but this is a fact of life.
What an insensitive thing to say. Read the room
Sometimes it is okay to keep your thoughts to yourself. Let's not be insensitive, shall we?
@@soapy2587 I'm not wrong, right? You know it, I know it. When have you ever seen a sickly person get popular lmao.
@@fatehere Oh woow, now I'm being oppressed for having REALISTIC thoughts? Thought this pussy generation was all about freedom and equality
u make it sound like she should be grateful for this “popularity”. the fact of it all is that she would rather be healthy and free of illnesses than be “popular” for having to deal with 4 CHRONIC illnesses. pls fix ur messed up mindset.
The fact that shes 18 and has been through so much is an incredible feat. Almost teared up 🥹🥹 Thank you for sharing🫶
She's such a strong and gorgeous lady.
