#1 We all want to live a disease-free life, but most of us have no idea that a disease-free life is possible. We assume that the patient is well until his or her condition deteriorates into symptoms that the doctor recognizes as a diagnosable disease.

#2 I was given an intradermal test, which is a much more provocative and sensitive test than the typical scratch tests. The reaction was catastrophic, and my health deteriorated rapidly. I was unable to perform any meaningful activity, and my life was over.

#3 I had so many different symptoms during those ten months that I was sent to numerous different doctors, who were unable to figure out what was wrong with me. In the end, the answers were simple.

#4 I was sick for 10 months, and when I was finally able to get help, it was from a chain of events that nearly killed me. My brother gave me a book that proved instrumental in saving my life: Norman Cousins’s bestseller, Anatomy of an Illness.

I was still far from well, though. I had difficulty performing the simplest tasks, such as dressing or tying my shoelaces. I had no energy and became fatigued from the slightest exertion. My hands and feet were numb, and I had difficulty walking and moving slowly.
