As a young girl, Jean Abbott was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. After 33 years of countless doctor appointments, medications and surgeries, a visit to a new doctor flipped her script in a way she never could have prepared for. Jean was diagnosed with dopa-responsive dystonia, a condition that can be effectively treated with medication. In this episode of Flip Your Script with Kristi Piehl, Jean shares her story of being misdiagnosed and the importance of support systems and resiliency.
