Dr. Allen Lycka Vroom Veer Stories
Walking around Disneyland and his wife is asking him what's wrong? His foot was "flapping" and dragging on the groundThe diagnosis after all the tests were in conclusive; so more tests! Finally one doctor declared that he had ALS; Allen didn't really believe him; but still start going through the stages of grief at his own looming deathAfter the depression stage, instead of accepting the fact that he had ALS he decided to do his own research; he found another person who had been diagnosed with ALS but didn't think he really had itFound the doctor who treated this other person; he had correctly diagnosed that this was Chronic Lyme Disease and could be treated with antibiotics Great story about how we need to struggle in life to learn and grow; without the struggle we grow weak and dieGreat story about enthusiasm and how it can make or break any project
