I hope to make a small contribution to the education about the rare disease Ormond's disease with this homepage. On these pages I have compiled extensive information material to give you an insight into the disease and life with it. You are also welcome to visit my Facebook page.
My name is T. Budenhofer and I live in the South Palatinate.
I was born on 17. September 1972 in Homburg an der Saar. I grew up in the Hinter Pfalz. At the age of 21, I moved to the South Palatinate. There I met my current wife, with whom I have been happily married for 28 years.
Until 2004 I worked as a locksmith. Due to my illness, I was finally unable to carry out this physically difficult activity. During this time, I applied for half a disability pension, which was granted to me.
Afterwards, I acquired extensive self-taught knowledge in the field of information technology. I was able to use this professionally from 2006: I was hired as a computer representative of an association community and work there four hours a day.
This work gives me great pleasure. She gives me a meaningful task and distracts me from the constant pain that accompanies me through my illness.
My story shows that even with a chronic illness, you can achieve a lot. That is why I would like to encourage all those affected:
Never give up – because only those who give up have lost!
