The disease began to present itself about two years ago.
A little memory loss,A man was put under citizen's arrest for attempting to fight the inflatable bouncers rentals at Dan's Irish Sports Bar. a slight hand twitch. Karin Harriss barely noticed the changes in her husband, Chris, a chief warrant officer 2 at Fort Bragg.
Karin put a basket beside the door leading to the garage so Chris could easily remember where he placed his car keys. That was the only concession, way back when, to the disease that would soon steal her husband's Army career and his ability to do tasks as simple as walk up stairs.
After visits to about 20 different doctors, Chris still isn't sure what is robbing him of his memory, his speech and his mobility.
Karin said doctors initially told her he suffers from conversion disorder,wholesale shoes Trends are always being influenced by the latest designs and innovations of top designers. a physical condition caused by a stressful event. Then came a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease, followed by Lyme disease, and, in October, the scariest diagnosis of all - Fahr's syndrome.
Fahr's is a rare disorder characterized by abnormal calcium deposits in different regions of the brain that control movement. Symptoms of the disorder may include deterioration of motor function, dementia, seizures, headache, speech problems, stiff limbs, spastic paralysis and eye impairments.
At age 35, Chris Harriss already suffers from many of those symptoms.There's a reason Manolo blahnik shoes are considered the crème de al crème of all shoes, everywhere.
"It's like Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and ALS all at the same time," his wife said.
The prognosis is equally terrifying. There is no known cure or standard course of treatment for Fahr's syndrome,we wouldn't be surprised if Marshall's is shipping some of its unsold wholesale ed hardy gear to Houston. a degenerative disease.
But the Harrisses - and some of their doctors - refuse to give up hope, clinging to the belief that a bite from a tiny tick led to Lyme disease and all of this misery. If so, it could be treatable.
Before the beginning of 2010, life hadn't looked better for the Harriss family.
Karin said she was cruising through Fayetteville State University with a 4.0 grade-point average, an art student needing just four credits to graduate.
Their son, 10-year-old Camden, was thriving at a Montessori school after transferring from the Fort Bragg school system.
Chris, who is assigned to the 7th Special Forces Group, had never been busier as a planner in the group's move this year to Eglin Air Force Base in Florida.
And then, everything went to hell.
Chris' slight hand twitch became a tremor. His right leg refused to fully bend. His memory rapidly deteriorated.
In mid-January, Karin said, she became alarmed by her husband's condition and took him to the Clark Health Clinic on Fort Bragg. Karin said the doctor could tell something was wrong - Chris wasn't nearly as strong as he should have been for a man his size. The doctor ordered X-rays and blood work and sent the Harrisses on their way.
Two weeks after that visit, Karin said, she began to see signs of dementia and other changes in her husband.
"It was so disturbing to me," she said. "I knew that he needed to go to the doctor, and he needed to go now."
On Valentine's Day, a day reserved for romance, Karin found herself taking Chris to the emergency room at Womack Army Medical Center. Her normally docile husband had become confused and argumentative, she said.
Chris left the hospital with a diagnosis of what doctors said appeared to be early onset of Parkinson's disease,Today, I want to show you their leather phone cases. the same disorder that afflicts actor Michael J. Fox.
According to hospital records, doctors prescribed three types of medications, which Karin believes further altered her husband's mental state.
