One of the greatest failures in the history of modern medicine?

Part II: Introduction

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:

David, as I waded deeper into the horrifying detritus of other lives crushed by my newly discovered disease, struggling to make sense of my new reality, I inadvertently, fortuitously, unbelievably, uncovered evidence—powerful, compelling evidence—of what could be one of the greatest failures in the history of modern medicine. This discovery is going to profoundly shape Part II of our memoir. Part II: Introduction releases today along with a preview for Chapter 10.

BONUS CONTENT: Update Cover

The three drawn-to-scale ticks on the original cover, nearly invisible to the naked eye and easily missed, are the size of a male blacklegged tick, a scant 1/16 of an inch. Part II’s updated cover features the female, who measures a robust 1/8 of an inch, and is in color. In other news, if you’ve tried to visit our forum in recent days, you’ve likely been greeted by an ominous message of “your connection is not private” and that attackers could be plotting to steal stuff, perhaps your very soul. In truth, I’ve been so wrapped up in this darn book that I forgot to renew the SSL certificate (https), which tells Google it’s safe. Corrected! Sorry for the inconvenience.

Misdiagnosed Forum

Our last chapter, Fate, Meet Destiny, recounted how kismet and karma have seasoned the lives of my wife and I all Emeril like—BAM! So this past weekend, it seemed totally normal to sit down and have a beer with fellow writer George R.R. Martin as jokes were made about my memoir being completed sooner than his epic novel A Song of Ice and Fire, which Game of Thrones was based on. He found it noteworthy that a person with Lyme disease gave him a business card with an MS logo and an MS name, leading to our ad hoc group spitballing new monikers. ActiveLymies was promptly dismissed. We parted ways after a quick photo, but before leaving I told him that sometime in the not-so-distant future he’ll be able to brag. About meeting me, the guy who irrevocably changed healthcare. After reading the intro to Part II of SDBR, you’ll see that I’ve set the bar impossibly high. No worries. I confidently expect to clear it, with room to spare. Be active, stay fit, and keep exploring!

Sincerely,
