ABSTRACT:
When doctors couldn't find an explanation for my mysterious symptoms, including back pain, aching joints, and tingling limbs, I went on a quest to uncover the root causes. My journey took me from the West Coast to the East Coast, from physical therapists to psychiatrists, from the body to the mind, chronic pain to repressed emotions, existential crisis to posttraumatic growth.
