A Cousin of mine was recently admitted to hospital. The complaints
included giddiness and difficulty in getting up from bed (pain in
knee joint).
Several tests were conducted. Eosinophil count was 40, now brought
down. Sodium content was low, Potassium high. MRI tests are due.
Spinal fluid (lumbar) have been sent for tests.
Doctors are confused. They suggest it could be Multi Sclerosis
or Adrenomyeloneuropathy.
Multi Sclerois is common, but we have no clue what is Adrenomyeloneuropathy.
He is 22, tall (5'11") and well built (80kgs).
I surfed the internet trying to find out what is adrenomyeloneuropathy,
but to no avail.




IN searching for information you could also use the term adrenoleukodystrophy.
