Summary
Falcon 29370 was once too ill to walk down the road, with whole-body muscle twitching, tinnitus, eye floaters and skin issues. They donated blood in 2022 and later reported 80% of symptoms better, though they would not recommend it. By May 2023 they were 85% better, and in May 2024 they credited Medical Medium information as the only thing that helped them heal and said they were back at work.
