Has medical research failed more than a quarter of a million dystonia patients in the United States and millions worldwide? After more than a century of scientific studies, there are no translational drugs to right the causes of dystonia conditions. This novel is the story of one unfortunate sufferer's fight for dignity and a normal life, plus an essay on how to advocate for more and better targeted research.
Wounded war hero Sgt. Travis Hunter has a debilitating post-traumatic condition. He doesn't know it is a neuro-muscular condition, which has frozen some of his head and neck muscles to one side. The mysterious medical condition hit him several months after his Army discharge. The U.S. Veterans Benefits Administration doesn't recognize it as combat related. His painful post-war state has dashed all hope of Sgt. Hunter recovering his true self. Worse, Travis blames his twisted condition on his failures in life. He has resolved to live on the streets panhandling. . This novel begins with the post-war years of Travis Hunter living in pain, its little-known causes, few treatments, and no prospects for a cure. Travis is just one of many former soldiers abandoned to deal with the cruel fate of post-war complications of the most serious nature. Former Sgt. Travis Hunter's travails are written in real time here exactly as they happened to him. He is despondent. Beautiful Nurse Janet Lee offers to help him. At first, he refuses bitterly. Should Nurse Lee risk her career to pursue helping this lost soul and other homeless vets?
