Hi all,
I know US has better medical knowledge. My question is : about seven years ago, when I am in my early 20's, I got a strange disease, my all brain got numbness(I must say very numbness, can not think), blurred vision, can not hear clearly, lose balance, difficult to concentrate, decreased understanding capability, speaking is Ok, but since thinking is impaired, communication capability is impaired. But I got no fever and flu. These sympton came like all in a sudden- in a few days. oh, got numbness on my face, my left side of body is not parellel with my right side, my left eye is not parellel with my right one, and slept a lot, the most terrible thing is I feel like a knife cut into my brain and drive my consciousness into crazy wild but not realistic . I saw several doctors in China but they told me I was OK,nothing happened, one doctor told me I got neurosis(I didnot take his prescriptions) and one psychiatrist told me I got bipolar disorder. He prescribed me to take 1 seroxat and 1/8 zyprexa every night, and I am on that medication from 2004 to now. Well, my situation got lighly improved and the improvement is really slow. Well, after two years of medication and restness and I finished a master's degree in the next three years. I also got concentration difficulty, for example, I can not concentrate on class, during project meeting, professor seems very patient. I am grateful to his patience. I begin to work after that. In 2010, I went to a neurologist how had been studying in France, he was so sympathy with my situation and he was so careful that he found my heterotropia, after confirming I have no congenital heterotropia, he guessed I got something happened in my brain. He accepted me as an inpatient, doing lots of blood tests, MRI, spinal tap, DSA, X rays of cervical vertebra , heart and carotid Color Doppler ultrasound. Blood tests shows I got high C-reaction protein level about 15, MRI show some part of my blood vessel in my brain got Hardening. DSA is nornal, X ray of cervical vertebra got some calcifying. I got intravenous infusion of penicillin, and some durgs to clear blood vessel and brain nutrition. After about one week I got out of the hospital. Now, after almost10 months, I feels much better, I do not feel so depressed, my brain cleared, although I still got heterotropia, but condition is improved a lot, I did not feel like a knife is cutting into brain and got much relief. My question is did I got some kind of rare infection from virus or bacteria? Actually the doctor said maybe I got something like that 7 years ago, but when he got me into the hospital my immune system have already fight the attack for 6~7 years. Wow, does any one have some comments? I hope anyone can help me find out what happened to me? Thanks.
