Michela G. Volpe, a fantasy name corresponding to the female Italian version of Michael J. Fox, describes her life from a health point of view.
All the pathologies that have affected her in the various phases of her life have formed a robust character and an amplified awareness of her body/mind, allowing her to always (or almost) emerge victorious and with self-irony, despite the social and physical barriers that have struck herself and her sick family since birth.
Then, one day, as the last slap of that troubled existence, as a further test of the resistance of the armor that has built around, she is diagnosed with a neuro-degenerative disease for which there is still no cure: Parkinson's.
Her life seems like an unfortunate film that shows no sign of having a happy ending, with the hope that the paladin of parkinsonians, the actor Michael J. Fox (MJF), notoriously affected by the same disease and for which he created a foundation for medical research, comes back from the future with the ultimate cure.
But Michela in her research has discovered scandals that revolve around foundations, pharmaceutical companies, donations and indeed she has been the subject of one of these events that see money placed above health.
With strength and courage and a lot of irony, Michela has now entrusted herself to the miracle of the treatment based on vitamin B1, or thiamine, a panacea for many neurodegenerative diseases that she is giving good results. The book describes the personal dosage as well as decanting how important a good lifestyle and healthy eating are. Lots of tips to try to get out of the nightmare of Parkinsonian disability.
