"The occurrence of Parkinson's disease in young people is mainly related to genes and family inheritance," said Wu Ruimei. Compared with elderly patients with Parkinson's disease, mature patients are more likely to hide their illness from the outside world and bear the pressure alone because they don't understand the disease.
Sisters suffered from Parkinson's disease one after another.
For example, there are two young sisters in Wu Ruimei's clinic who have developed Parkinson's disease one after another. Rumei, 43, was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease when her sister was in high school, so she is no stranger to Parkinson's disease. Growing up, she shouldered the responsibility of taking care of her sister, understood the hardships of taking care of patients with Parkinson's disease, and even told her sister, "Don't fall in love and get married, it will harm others and yourself. " 」
At the age of 28, Rumei found herself easily tired and obviously had a problem of shaking her feet. Because of her sister's lesson, Rumei went to see a doctor alone at first, but she didn't want to increase the psychological and economic burden at home, and she was even more afraid that her illness would make her brothers and sisters at home more scared.
Rumei has been ill for 15 years. Wu Ruimei recounted that Rumei, who looks strong, once said, "In fact, I am very scared because I don't want to see other old patients in the waiting room. I am afraid that one day I will be like them. 」
However, in fact, as long as the disease is found early and treated in time, both young and old patients with Parkinson's disease have a good chance to coexist with the disease. Later, with the help of doctors and family members, Rumei and her sister faced the disease together and got along well with Parkinson's disease.
Elderly patients with Parkinson's disease regain their brushes and continue to illuminate their lives.
Wu Ruimei gave another example. A Cai, a 75-year-old patient of Ba Jinsen, has been ill for more than ten years. "When Aunt Cai was first diagnosed, she was always complaining and complaining, which made it so difficult for her to retire and enjoy life. 」
Fortunately, with the support of doctors and family members, Aunt Acai worked hard to receive treatment, never giving up the time of retirement and enjoyment, regaining her brush, regaining her interest when she was young, and integrating the life scenes she saw with her own eyes before and after her illness into her paintings. Nowadays, in the face of illness, grandma Cai, who is positive, firmly believes: "Only with inner peace can we firmly resist the disease. 」
Wu Ruimei said that she hoped that through these stories of patients with Parkinson's disease, everyone would begin to understand Parkinson's disease, because only by understanding can we increase the chances of early detection and treatment for China people and delay the deterioration of patients' diseases.
