All In The Mind · Locked in: One of Lynne Malcolm's favourite All in the Mind programs · 29 Nov 2020

Hi, it's All In The Mind on RN.
matched
I'm Lynne Malcolm and we're celebrating my years as host of All In The Mind with a selection of my favourites.
matched
Today, a compelling story from 2015 of how a young man's escape from a lonely nightmare becomes a moving love story.
matched
That's from Ghost Boy, the autobiography of Martin Pistorius, who at the age of 12 developed a mysterious neurological illness which left him mute and unable to move, locked inside his body.
matched
The doctors assumed that he was in a vegetative state and would not have long to live.
matched
Yet a couple of years after this, he began to wake up, but still could not communicate, so no one knew it had happened.
matched
Martin Pistorius is now 30 and we spoke via Skype using a computer with speech software.
matched
He recalls emerging from his coma, only to realise he was locked in.
matched
So what was the worst part about being trapped in your own body without being able to communicate anything at all?
matched
It's difficult to comprehend just how frightening this experience must have been, and to think that Martin Pistorius lived trapped in this lonely world for almost 10 years without anyone knowing what he was going through.
matched
Though the initial illness he had is still a mystery, it's become clear that he has what's known as locked-in syndrome.
matched
