“I Don’t Dwell”

Rediscovering life during disease and suffering.

 

I was a disabled, young man with severe life threatening health issues.

I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS), and bipolar disorder.   Bipolar disorder is characterized by severe mood swings from depression to mania.  A few times I required hospitalization from suicidal thoughts. I would not be alive if it wasn’t for the medications as I would have taken my own life by now.   MS is a neurological disease that affects the central nervous system and brain.    MS is also the number one cause of disability among young adults ages 20 to 40.    I became disabled at age 37.

With my health issues suffering was a way of life.  Then one day things suddenly changed, and my health was miraculously restored.    The medical community calls it a spontaneous healing.   And over the course of eighteen months I made a full recovery from the trauma I suffered from the various diseases.    I am no longer disabled, have no health issues and take no medicine.

Writing about the healing and the recovery process provided clarity on how the health transformation happened.  I made some deep insights about myself that I share within the book.

This is the story of my transformation.
