A STORY WAITING TO BE TOLD


My Upcoming Book: A True Account of Symptoms, Dismissal, and Recovery

 

I am currently writing a book that tells the full, unfiltered story of my implant journey — from surgery, to symptoms, to dismissal, to explant, and finally to recovery and clarity.

 

This book is based on:

  • my lived medical experience
  • medical records
  • provider notes
  • written correspondence
  • physical therapy documentation
  • and the timeline that unfolded between 2021 and 2025


My goal is simple:

 

To help patients facing unexplained symptoms feel seen, validated, and empowered.

 

WHAT THE BOOK COVERS

1. Surgery Day & Early Hope
The day I believed everything was about to get better.


2. Activation Day

Where my symptoms began — gradual and worsening as time went on. 

3. Reporting Symptoms That No One Could Explain or cared to explore.

Pressure, burning, imbalance, facial stimulation, body twitching, electrical shocks, that would wake me out of a deep sleep, and visual changes.

4. Dismissal & Minimization

What it’s like to be told “everything is normal” when you know something is not.

5. PT Findings No One Expected

When my local providers found issues unrelated to migraines or anxiety.

6. Nerve Pain, Vestibular Damage & Escalation

How symptoms intensified after specific mapping sessions.

7. The Year Everything Collapsed

2024 — when I could no longer function safely.

8. Explant Day & Immediate Relief

The moment I finally felt the pressure release.

9. The Aftermath

Recovery, nerve healing, and piecing my life back together.

10. The Written Letters & Timelines

Discrepancies, dates, and the unanswered questions that remain.

 

WHY I’M WRITING THIS BOOK

Because patients deserve information that isn’t sugarcoated.

Because symptoms like mine are rarely mentioned in consultations.

Because dismissal hurts just as much as the symptoms themselves.

Because I want others to recognize what I didn’t — sooner.

Because transparency matters.

Because I survived something that nearly took my independence.

And because telling my story might help someone else trust their instincts.
