Chapter 21: An Improbable Proposal

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, desperate times called for desperate measures. Despite trying for months to find a doctor to treat my Lyme disease, all requests had been rebuffed. I had to let every arrow fly and think outside the box, outside the state, and outside the realm of probability. As arrows pleading for aid missed their targets again and again, I reached out to a most unexpected potential partner to team with on this journey of 1,000 lifetimes. Chapter 21: An Improbable Proposal releases today along with a preview for Chapter 22.

BONUS CONTENT: Recommended Lyme Books

My “improbable proposal” references two attached documents. So that you can play along from the comfort of your own home—and since I’m a wide-open book with no secrets, especially after my naked and erect story from Chapter 8 (https://www.activemsers.org/post/chapter-8-checkmate)—I’ve uploaded the pair of insightful PDFs that I included in that correspondence: my detailed 3-month progress report and a brief justification supporting the use of IV antibiotics.

Misdiagnosed Forum

As you read this most recent chapter, you will begin to comprehend why I’ve taken such a circuitous route to find proper care for my Lyme disease. Why I’ve repeatedly tried to get help locally from source after source. Why I’ve gone into extremely personal detail to discuss my challenges, and Laura’s challenges. And heck, why I’m writing Sit Down Before Reading to start with, not to mention giving it away for free to the world. None of this was done haphazardly. I’ve been given the rarest of opportunities, and I have a responsibility: to make every one of those 17 years I’ve been misdiagnosed with multiple sclerosis count. Be active, stay fit, and keep exploring!

p.s. If you have not yet done so, I strongly encourage you to schedule a neuro appointment for early in the new year as well as book a date for an MRI at a facility that uses 3 Tesla (3T) sensitivity or better (1.5T MRIs are not strong enough).
