TMAU news item : sufferers story on San Diego 10news (part 1)

For Tammy Gobin, her strong malodor began three years prior to this interview, in her early 30s. As is the case for most sufferers, she found some answers by searching the internet, where she learned about the rare genetic disorder, Trimethylaminuria. Yet, according to this article published by 10news.com, "For daycare teacher Tammy Gobin it took nearly two years before she convinced the medical community she had a metabolic disorder that gives off a pungent odor”.

Her medical insurance did not cover her $20,000 medical bills, although she has a medical malodor disorder. This is the reason why it is imperative that extensive research on TMAU and non-TMAU metabolic disorders be carried out, so that the reverse becomes the norm, the patient would first seek diagnosis, information, and treatment from her physician instead of from the internet. Thank you Tammy for being so brave and to share your story to the world for us.
