2021 was a special year for me, when I contracted a strange illness.
In April of this year, my head and neck began to involuntarily lean back and shake, and my waist was involuntarily twisted, coupled with the stiffness of my whole body, which made my muscles very sore, and my walking was also crooked, and I couldn't walk straight like a normal person. All this makes me very difficult to accept, I am only 23 years old, why do I suffer from such a strange disease. During that time, I couldn't even look into the eyes of others, afraid of other people's different eyes.
In addition, from time to time, my head will not be shaken left or right, or I will lean back hard. My body was tense all the time, and I couldn't relax when I wanted to. Morning is a more relaxed time of the day, and the symptoms will be slightly relieved, but in the tense, late afternoon, the symptoms will be aggravated.
After visiting the local hospital, he was diagnosed with "dystonia" and prescribed medication. The stiffness and tightness of the limbs was relieved after taking the medication, but after a few weeks, it didn't feel like it worked, so I stopped taking it.
By chance, my parents learned through their patients that Chengdu Huaxi Hospital has a high degree of achievement in the treatment of dystonia, led by Dr. Li Peng, from drug treatment, botulinum toxin injection to surgical treatment and other aspects of rich experience and successful cases. So, with the support of my family, I went to Huaxi Hospital and found Dr. Li.
After a detailed understanding of my medical history and a thorough preoperative assessment, Dr. Li decided to perform DBS surgery on me and communicated with us in detail about the upcoming surgical plan and procedure. Dr. Lee's extensive experience in diagnosis and treatment has ignited the hope of treatment for me and my family, and we firmly stated that we would fully cooperate with the doctor's arrangement.
After the surgical treatment, the writhing condition of my body was greatly improved, the twisted body was able to stretch and bend freely, and I was able to walk like a normal person again.
