The Epilepsy and Osteoporosis Link [Paperback]

Eliot Trimberger (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 23, 2004

At twenty-six years of age, after suffering a hip fracture that left Eliot on crutches for six months with titanium pins implanted in his left femur so he could walk without the feeling of pain, Eliot decided it was time to get some answers. For twenty years he had always asked his parents and doctors why he had epilepsy. He was usually told that there was no explanation. He decided to show what was being done wrong by researching holistic medicine and the positive effects that it has had on his lifestyle. Eliot never thought that this would make it impossible for others to understand him on both the personal and professional level. Anybody who has been on anticonvulsant medication should be screened for osteoporosis and be regularly taking calcium fortified with vitamin D. The picture on the front of the book is of some red rock formations, taken while touring Sedona, Arizona, while Eliot was on a personal hiatus.

About the Author

Eliot Trimberger is originally from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In April 2001 Eliot took a road trip out to Arizona and noticed how he felt so much better. On his return trip to Milwaukee, driving through the pouring rain, he hit mass depression and decided that he had to move to Arizona after graduating with an associate degree in accounting. Eliot had no idea how far this would take him from the world of education. It all started when he was trying to lift a heavy load that was too heavy for him to lift.

As Eliot sits in the hospital waiting for surgery, it becomes clear that life as he knew it six months earlier is going to change dramatically. As Eliot starts writing about his experience, he also decides to write a screenplay off his experience. Learning about Hollywood and the entertainment industry, specifically with how to put a screenplay together, Eliot starts putting his words onto the silver screen.

As Eliot becomes changed on the intellectual sense, it is difficult for him to get his parents to understand what makes him so driven to get the truth out about what has happened to him. Very slowly, Eliot realizes that he has a problem on his hands besides the fact that he has epilepsy. It all started when he took the one job that changed his life forever as he knew it.
