00:00The headache was troubling. It was as if it had a heartbeat of its own. Little did I know
00:11what was experienced by me wasn't a physical or medical problem. Like a fish out of water,
00:22I was slowly being introduced to and hijacked by a new and strange world.
00:31It's been 12 years that Kirtan Munro has been afflicted by an ailment which to date has
00:35gone undiagnosed by medical practitioners. The series of events challenged the logical
00:42and the scientific thinking of the then second year medical student who recounts the onset
00:48of his symptoms.
00:50Something was holding me down and bring all over my face and this wasn't no like small
00:59when it was very intense. What I could liken it to was someone being in a car on a highway
01:09putting their face outside the car's drive only to wake up the following day. I just
01:16fell down. I tried to walk and just fell. So I wondered what is all this?
01:25In a matter of days, Munro's entire body was failing him. Unable to walk or even speak,
01:31he was hospitalised in Jamaica.
01:34So I tried to move only to realise I couldn't move at all. I tried to call out for help
01:42only to realise I couldn't make a song. They test me for a lot of things like for the chicken
01:51they thought was Parkinson's so they tested me for Parkinson's. Many injectives.
01:58After being hospitalised for close to four months, he was transferred to Trinidad where
02:03he underwent another battery of tests but to no avail. That's when he turned to God
02:09for answers.
02:11It was like 2015. I was home in the couch just lying down and crying. Praying to God
02:19like Lord tell me what is my problem. Because with all the medical tests I did and the doctors
02:28I had nothing so I didn't know what was wrong with me. So on that day I got even more than
02:35I wanted. I got who did this to me? Why? What was wrong with me?
02:45Munro says it is through this revelation and his constant studies and prayers that he is
02:51now at a stage where he can move around in his wheelchair and speak in a manner that
02:55people can understand. He says his experiences led him to chronicle his journey in a book
03:02so that people having similarly inexplicable afflictions can find comfort and hope. The
03:09book entitled A 12-Year Journey, The Contrary Wind That Blew Me Hair is available for purchase
03:16on Amazon.
03:18That's why the book is so short because the journey I'm in isn't complete. So when it's
03:25fully complete expect a second book in the name of Jesus.
03:32Amen.
