Passage from "Living With Periodic Paralysis: The Mystery Unraveled"



Hello Readers!!

The following is a passage from my book living with Periodic Paralysis: The Mystery Unraveled:

 "After a lifetime of illness, misdiagnoses and medical mistreatment (some of which caused irreparable damage), two years ago at the age of sixty two, I finally discovered the name of the progressive disease that left me totally and permanently disabled with weak muscles throughout my body, intermittent periods of total paralysis, along with heart problems, breathing problems, blood pressure problems and exercise intolerance. Years of testing had ruled out all of the commonly known neuromuscular diseases. I had to look for the “zebra”, as one of the over thirty doctors I had seen over the past six years had called it. I had to do it myself."  (page 2)

(The lowercase "l" on "living" in the title is not a typo but used intentionally to signify that the term "living" is being used very loosely in terms of this disease; patterned after the style of the poet and author E. E. Cummings.)


Until next time...

Hello and Welcome!!!

Hello Readers,


Welcome to my new Author's Blog!!!! I have written two books and published them this past year and co-authored another book with my husband Calvin. Two of my books deal with very rare medical conditions; Periodic Paralysis and Sotos Syndrome and the third is a book about building a home and living in the Uinta Mountains in North Eastern Utah. It features over 200 beautiful color photographs of the flora and fauna during all four seasons in the alpine forest and the building of the cabin at different phases of the project.


All three of the books are available on Amazon. I am excited about the books and the opportunity to share them with you. 



Until next time....
