Alive ...For A Reason: What You Don't Know Could Kill You and it's Not the Pandemic: Julia's Story
She almost died...
Jaiden writes about Julia's conquering a rare, deadly blood disorder caused by the rapid onset of a malfunctioning gene known as ADAMTS 13. No one knows how the gene spontaneously triggers the onset.
Julia believed it was the decades-long chronic stress, depression, and anxiety that left her spirit crushed, leading her body into a dangerous, potentially fatal disorder. Symptoms don't always appear so you can't recognize it as it impacts vital organs.
It's important for specialized doctors to quickly treat the blood-related disorder ravaging the plasma of her blood. Few people have heard of TTP. Its actual name is difficult to pronounce or even spell. People of all races, and gender identities, need to know that TTP can invade your body without warning.
Julia’s story engages readers in her real-life drama. The story weaves layers of empathy, humor, spiritual insight, and unexpected out-of-body experiences.
Long-term stress, depression, and anxiety began to ravage her mental health during her teen years. If it were not for Julia’s faith and her caring friends, it would have been far more difficult to navigate the maze of daily treatments, including plasma infusions--through her neck. Stealthily and silently TTP can creep through the body, affecting the brain, kidneys, or other vital organs. It devours the platelets in one’s plasma, rampantly shreds, and destroys crucial red blood cells.
She shares with readers that God impressed upon her to “Tell all” [about this disorder] to arm others with information in case someone is thrown into a similar brink of an urgent health emergency.
There's a sense that you’re traveling with Julia as she begins the long road to recovery from near death toward her journey to a different “new normal.”
Despite her near-fatal illness, the reader learns that it was Julia’s great faith in God, and self-determination to raise the banner of triumph against the experiences of grief, discrimination, chronic stress, and anxiety-- so she could live to tell all.
