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...
