Wear Your Voice
By: Amanda Morrissey
In September 2015, I started walking strangely. Just the odd stumble, like I was trying to walk upright on a boat. I went to a doctor who said, after a 5-minute consultation, I had an aftereffect of a virus. I walked out to my car and burst into tears. I knew something was wrong, but if a doctor wasn’t concerned by it, I probably shouldn’t be. So I pushed it away from my mind.
After a few weeks my symptoms had progressed to stumbling around like I was drunk. I also started having bone and joint pain, and a tremor on my right side. I kept feeling exhausted all the time so my husband convinced me to see another doctor. Immediately, she noticed that something was very wrong and thought I had Guillain-Barré syndrome, so I was referred to a neurologist.
By December, my symptoms were so bad I went back to the doctor and she told me to go to the emergency room. What I remember the most was the smell: a mix of bleach and disinfectant. Now when I smell that, I remember that exact moment and how terrified and alone I felt. I had blood tests, a lumbar puncture, and an MRI done, which sounds like your inside a transformer... while it’s transforming.
In January I was diagnosed with Paraneoplastic, which is an autoimmune disease where the body creates an antibody to fight cancer but the antibody gets confused and attacks healthy cells. There are about 30 different types. In my case, I have Paraneoplastic Cerebellar Degeneration. The cerebellum handles speech, walking, balance, coordination, fine movement and now, researchers think it also handles emotional response.
When you become chronically ill or disabled it turns your entire life upside down and I fell into a deep depression for three years. Being sick became my main identifier because my days were spent getting chemotherapy or Intravenous immunoglobulin, IVIG, in bed because I couldn’t move. With my diagnosis, it is common to get cancer, so I wasn’t surprised when I was diagnosed with breast cancer.
I isolated myself from my friends and family because I’m very self-conscious about my symptoms, mainly because I have difficulty with my speech. I slur my words and I’m very monotonous. Also fatigue and tremor makes socializing difficult. On average a healthy person has around 10 usable hours a day, on a good day I have about 3, then it’s like a light gets turned off.
For three years I struggled and had difficulty coping with my new normal, while I grieved the life I had. I’ve since learned a new way to cope, a healthier way, after therapy, medication, and time. I cope by focusing on something I’m passionate about and which gives me a new purpose. When my husband and I decided to move from the Netherlands to Scotland, because of a looming Brexit, I had to return my government sponsored custom wheelchair and smart drive. So I founded a t-shirts and apparel company called Panda Tees to raise money for an electric wheelchair. My favorite designs, since it’s breast cancer awareness month, is simply called "Boobs." It shows breasts in many forms, from lop sided breast to mastectomy scars. The other is a slogan that says “I’m feeling okay-ish” to normalize feeling okay-ish instead of always putting on a brave face.
After I reach my personal fundraiser goal, I want to continue on and donate a percentage to Eurordis, a non-profit for rare disease awareness and advocacy, which is a subject that is very close to my heart since I have one. I really want to make a difference in people’s lives, I want to support and empower the chronically ill, POC, LGBTQIA+, anyone with disabilities, women and any groups, who are made to feel like they do not belong, or feel like they aren’t important.
My advice is wear your voice and make a difference

THE MOST TRUSTWORTHY CRYPTOCURRENCY RECOVERY SPECIALIST AROUND/BYTEPHANTOM CYBER RECOVERY:
My name is Gwen, and I never imagined I’d be the victim of a crypto scam. I’ve always been cautious with my digital assets, but in early 2024, I fell into a sophisticated trap that cost me over $190,000 worth of cryptocurrency. It was one of the most devastating moments of my life. I felt helpless, ashamed, and frustrated until I found BytePhantom Cyber Recovery. It all started when I came across what appeared to be a legitimate investment opportunity on a well-known social media platform. The website looked professional, the team behind it had public LinkedIn profiles, and the returns promised were “modest but steady.” I did my research or so I thought and decided to transfer some of my crypto into their platform. Within weeks, the site vanished. No response to emails, no support, and my wallet was drained. I was in shock. I reported the incident, but law enforcement told me flat out that the chances of recovering crypto were extremely slim. That’s when I turned to the internet, desperately searching for a solution. After going through multiple forums and reviews, one name kept coming up: BytePhantom Cyber Recovery. At first, I was skeptical. I had already been burned once. But what stood out to me about BytePhantom was the number of detailed success stories from real people who had been in similar situations. I reached out to them, and from the very first conversation, I felt reassured. Their response was immediate, professional, and empathetic. The BytePhantom team assigned a recovery specialist to my case within 24 hours. They thoroughly analyzed my transaction history, wallet activity, and digital footprint. They explained every step of the process clearly, without making any false promises. What impressed me most was their transparency. I never felt like I was being strung along or given generic answers—they were honest, technical, and absolutely determined. Over the next few weeks, BytePhantom launched a deep investigation into the stolen funds. They utilized blockchain forensics, traced the movement of my crypto across wallets and mixing services, and even tracked down key details of the scammer’s operations. I was amazed at how much information they were able to uncover—things that had gone completely unnoticed by the police. Then, about five weeks into the process, I received the news I had been hoping and praying for: BytePhantom successfully intercepted and recovered a substantial portion of my stolen funds—over 85% of the total amount. When I saw the crypto hit my secure wallet, I honestly couldn’t believe it. It felt like I had been given a second chance. But BytePhantom didn’t stop there. They helped me enhance my wallet security, educated me on common fraud tactics, and provided tools to monitor suspicious activity going forward. Their team genuinely cared—not just about recovering my funds, but about ensuring I never fell into another trap again. Looking back, choosing BytePhantom was the turning point in what could have been a complete disaster. They combined cutting-edge cyber intelligence with unmatched dedication and professionalism. I owe my financial recovery—and peace of mind—to their incredible work. If you’ve lost crypto to a scam or cybercrime, don’t waste time with unverified recovery services. BytePhantom Cyber Recovery is the real deal. They brought my funds back when I thought they were gone forever. And for that, I will always be grateful.
