30-second view
A first-time visitor can understand the full arc without reading the complete record.
Medical-story framing: The diagnosis was there. The data was there. The continuity failed. This section preserves structural findings, functional findings, lived observations, professional interpretations, and unresolved questions without forcing a false either/or conclusion.

A Medical Story Built From More Than One Record
- Joe was born prematurely and has lifelong cerebral palsy and an extensive surgical history.
- New upper-body symptoms emerged during the 2021 COVID-vaccine period; chronology is preserved without claiming proven causation.
- Cervical pathology was documented and a C5–C6 fusion was performed in 2022.
- Reproducible abnormal movements emerged afterward.
- Later records documented both structural findings and functional neurological findings.
- In February 2025, known neurological and communication context did not transfer effectively during an emergency-care and involuntary-treatment sequence.
- Joe manually reconstructed the record, presented Abstract 178 at the 2026 Functional Neurological Disorder Society meeting, and developed Project Fionigan as a continuity framework.

The public introduction
Joe Korzen was born prematurely and has lived with cerebral palsy, extensive surgery, and disability throughout his life. Beginning in 2021, new upper-body symptoms led through cervical imaging and surgery, reproducible movement symptoms, structural neurological findings, functional neurological findings, treatment attempts, an emergency-care breakdown, and years of manual record reconstruction. This is not a claim that one diagnosis explains everything. It is a source-aware account of what was documented, what Joe experienced, what remains disputed, and why continuity matters.
