Today is an important day for the author, after thirty years of waking up
I accidentally got the truth about thirty years since my birth.
If you can't bear it, just treat it as small talk.
Because I had suspected dizziness and imbalance problems two days ago, I suddenly suspected something in the past two days.
A little secret belonging to the author: I was told by my mother that I have hereditary epilepsy since I was a child. Therefore, I have been taking the anti-epileptic drug phenytoin. When I checked the information, I noticed that long-term use of phenytoin can cause ataxia, so it is suspected that
This is a side effect of taking medication.
But today, while checking the side effects of various drugs, I accidentally came across a rare disease:
PKD.
Exercise-induced dystonia.
Buried deep in my heart, I always thought that I was an epileptic patient. Even until my mother passed away, I always thought so.
Today's meeting revealed many strange mysteries.
I have looked up a lot of information about epilepsy in the past, but it was always strange that the so-called loss of consciousness, foaming at the mouth, continuous seizures, and coma did not appear in me during an epileptic seizure. There was no problem detected in the electroencephalogram when I was a child.
.But to say that the symptoms are mild, it may not be obvious all the time. If you forget to take your medicine, you may even have multiple attacks a day.
After coming into contact with PKD today, these familiar symptoms came into view one by one:
The onset time is short, most within one minute;
Uncontrollable dancing and muscle rigidity are the main symptoms;
Sudden movement from stillness, nervousness can lead to attacks, and even premonitions in advance——
For example, during class, the teacher suddenly called me to write on the blackboard;
Suddenly the bus comes at the bus stop and it’s time to get on;
The bus has arrived, ready to get off;
Standing suddenly after sitting for a long time;
After sitting for a long time, I suddenly try to rotate my left and right ankles;
All the induced details correspond perfectly to those of other patients.
And the drugs I took happened to be drugs for treating epilepsy, such as carbamazepine, phenytoin, etc.
I just asked the doctor online and it was confirmed to be PKD.
My mother should also have PKD, but due to previous medical conditions, I thought it was epilepsy.
From epilepsy to PKD, I suddenly felt much more relaxed.
Because PKD increases with age, it has a very high probability of healing on its own.
There is also less damage to the brain.
Therefore, I can selectively take drugs with lower side effects while considering controlling the disease.
Since childhood, due to epilepsy and dyskinesia, although it has been controlled by taking medicine, it still leads to a quiet personality, lack of exercise, introversion, reading more, etc...
Today I suddenly realized that it was not epilepsy. It seemed like half a stone had been moved.
Very psychedelic.
It’s a very weird and magical good news.
Give yourself two days off and relax completely.
I also hope that all book friends will not leave this book for too long. This time there will be no interruption in updates. After a short adjustment, I will come back to work again. So friends who follow updates every day, don’t “forget” this book. At least it will pass.
I'll be back in time in two or three days!
Thinking about it now, I still feel that fate is playing tricks on people.
