I did not remain passive during visits to all those medical specialists. My diet was in place, weight was slowing coming down, blood tests were nearly perfect, and other than the same symptoms, I felt pretty good.

Except for those odd symptoms.

Mild fatigue during exercise, labored breathing during exercise, more fasciculations, and strange abdominal muscle cramp fasciculations. They were not worse, but despite a good exercise regimen and a much improved diet, they persisted.

Doubling down on the list of doctors only confirmed I was in good health considering the shape I was in.

We just didn’t know how bad it really was.
