Cruelty that picks by random among people…

Nowadays there are more and more sickness among men. Although medical treatments are advancing, but we are facing more serious illnesses and some still can never be cured. Day by day, many lives are taken away. We see people dying everyday especially in the hospitals. How short life can be...? I would like to share about "Spinocerebellar Atrophy". It is a cruel illness that picks among the random. It is not through inheritance, but by random!!! There are different types of spinocerebellar degeneration. The degree of progression of the disease will differ between people. In a human brain, 14 billions of neurons and, which are instructing the neuron, exist. Those neurons are divided into central nerves and peripheral nerves, and the central nerves are divided again into: cerebrum, diencephalons, cerebellum, brain stem and spinal cord. Among them, those which work for the body to move smoothly and freely are cerebellum, brain stem and the spinal cord. For this patients, compare with the normal brain image, their cerebellum is atrophying. The illness, for some reason, causing the cerebellum to atrophy, and because of that, the neurons inside are starting lose. In other words, think of it as “starting to be broken”. [The symptom is slow, but surely progressing]. At first, there is no subjective symptoms, but you then can see the unsteadiness when the person is walking. The person often stumble, unable to measure the distance, or maybe could not write well and cannot speak properly. However, even though the nerves to move the body are malfunctioning, but there is nothing wrong with the mental. It's just that the person can’t move the body even when he or she wants to, and can’t speak even when he or she tries to. The body will be aware of its condition. This is such a very cruel disease. Even according to doctors, as far as they know, no one has made it to full recovery. Seeing patients with Spinocerebellar Atrophy illness really breaks my heart. It was not their choice to get such sickness, but it just befall on them by random. And what makes it worst is that there is no cure for it! How heart saddening it is... Have you come across this illness? Please share your thoughts about this.
