Books About Alpha Gal Syndrome

I am currently working on two books. 

1)  A book that dives into my personal journey with Alpha Gal Syndrome. From the struggles of living with a myriad of symptoms and not knowing the cause to diagnosis. The book dives into my battles of survival and ultimately how I found joy. It is my story of how I became an Alpha Gal Warrior. 

2) I am gathering stories from other Alpha Gal Warriors. This book will be a chronicle of the unique yet connected journeys of many in the Alpha Gal Warrior community. The goal of this book is to provide hope and sense of community to those struggling with Alpha Gal Syndrome.
