Disease
history:
In 1974, the
patient felt that his left half-length body became numb,
without any reasons and had no feelings even burning it with
cigarette. He was hospitalized for a month and did not find
out the cause of disease. The symptoms voluntarily vanished
with no medicine after four months. In 1980, he found the
skin on the surface of neck and feet was tight. He was again
hospitalized in the hospital for 2 weeks and did not find
out the cause of disease. After the third week he restored
voluntarily normally.
Since 1986
he could not run without reasons and could not keep balance
when standing with his eyes closed. He was hospitalized
again. The doctor suspected it was
encephaloma, but after the further inspection,
finding it was wrong. After 4 months, his feet would feel
stiff and could not move if he walked over one kilometer,
only could walk by pulling his feet. He was finally
diagnosed with MS (multiple sclerosis). In 1987 he
emigrated to Sweden because of
the Iran and Iraq war, and could not walk since then. His
condition aggravated day by day and needed walking stick to
help walk. From 1990 he began to use the wheelchair, until
1995 his lower limbs could not move completely. Since 1998
he had to depend on the electrically operated wheelchair to
move, because both hands have lost strength.
The left hand strength loss is
probably 75%, the strength loss of right hand is probably
95%. Besides MS, he also has hypertension, and was compelled
to retire. His condition was aggravated continuously and no
knee jerk reflex, as well as twitch of waist and lower

on the edge of the tongue. His pulse is deep and fine and
powerful.

medicine allergy. He had undergone an appendix surgery three
years ago. There is no such disease case in his family and
