Chapter 17: Ipso Facto

Sit Down Before Reading is an epic medical memoir unlike any you've ever read. This unbelievable story of stories is unfolding in near real time. That means the conclusion of this tale isn't written yet... because it hasn't happened yet. The story I'm telling will challenge the medical establishment to reexamine life with a debilitating disease, send reverberating shockwaves throughout the disabled community, rewrite the rulebook of healthcare (God willing), and potentially change your entire future. I recommend you buckle up and hang on, it’s going to be one hell of a rip-roaring ride. A new chapter releases every Wednesday here:

We’d all like to believe that our journey with a disabling disease was foretold, a regrettable side effect, perhaps, of getting mono as a teen. An unlucky bellyflop off the gene pool high dive. An unavoidable short straw in the game of life. But what if it’s not always that? What if some of our fates weren’t hinged on the luck of the draw but on a flawed test and “strong recommendations” based on “low-quality evidence” from a small huddle of scientists? What if? As we get closer to our conclusion, I want to stress that whatever basket you eventually fall into—properly diagnosed or misdiagnosed—there is a whirlwind of good coming. Be active, stay fit, and keep exploring!

p.s. I hope soon to begin recording an audiobook version of Sit Down Before Reading for those who are vision impaired or just prefer listening over reading. Stay tuned!
