Intractable

At the age of 40, Peter made a mid-life career change to law enforcement. Within three years, he was a sergeant in the Marine Patrol division of a New England state on a path to a successful career. Soon after, Peter began to experience weird déjà vu sensations and a burning tingling feeling that began in his stomach and would rise to his chest. Over time, the feelings worsened and led to episodes of partial consciousness, most often while eating and occasionally when driving. It was determined Peter was experiencing seizures and his condition was deemed “intractable.” This is Peter’s story of his near career ending illness, his treatment, persistence, determination, and the incredible events that led to an eventual “cure.”
