Shiva lost her mother at birth and was diagnosed with a rare disease called "congenital pain insensitivity". She grew up under the care of a conservative father and an old urchin grandfather. Different from ordinary people, his life at school is very hard. Because he had no painful reaction, he was always bullied by his classmates and was hurt all over, but Su Pei, a neighbor girl, always stood up for him.
Shiva, who is very interested in martial arts, practiced hard under his grandfather's unique upbringing and watched a lot of martial arts movies and videos. A mysterious one-legged karate man named Mani, with his disabled body but precise karate skills, defeated 100 opponents and became the most admired kungfu god in Shiva's heart.
Once, Shiva launched the first raid to protect Su Pei, but the whole family was expelled by neighbors. When Shiva grew up, she met Moni, the karate king who had already become an alcoholic, and even his evil twin brother. He refused to return the most important thing in Mani's life. Shiva learned that his task was to help his idol Mani get back the precious box.
No pain is not a good thing. In fact, this rare disease, congenital pain insensitivity with anhidrosis (CIPA), is caused by the mutation of NTRK 1 gene. The most obvious features are no pain, temperature, reduced perspiration or even no sweat, which may also involve mental retardation.
At first glance, the patient just has no pain and there is nothing unusual in appearance, but in fact, the state without pain is very dangerous. Children with this disease usually fall, break bones, get oral injuries or get bacterial infections in their eyes. Because they won't feel pain, they may not know when they will be burned or bleed heavily.
CIPA is mainly a combination of symptom treatment. The Foundation for Rare Diseases pointed out that at present, CIPA mainly relies on symptom treatment and needs to integrate pediatricians, orthopedics, dentists, ophthalmologists and dermatologists to care for sick children. For anhidrosis, it is necessary to monitor the patient's body temperature and prevent fever or hypothermia in time; Painless patients need to correct their behavior to reduce injuries; To treat fractures, we should choose suitable materials and pay attention to whether stents and invasive surgery will cause infection; Skin symptoms can be prevented by emulsion from keratinization and the risk of secondary infection; Need to care for the problem of dry eye to prevent corneal infection and inflammation.
Some patients will use mouth protectors to protect their tongues. The elastic pad that fixes the mouth guard to the upper jaw can separate the hard teeth from the soft tissue. Or as a shock absorber to disperse the impact on hard tissues.
How does Chinese medicine treat CIPA? From the perspective of Chinese medicine, Zhang Jizhong's medical doctor Qiu pointed out that Chinese medicine believes that cold can easily make the meridians feel pain. On the contrary, if the heat pathogen stays in the meridians and the pores are blocked, the pain may be alleviated.
Therefore, in the face of congenital pain insensitivity complicated with anhidrosis, the treatment strategy of traditional Chinese medicine should be to cool the exterior, nourish yin and nourish body fluid. In the aspect of life care, Chinese medicine believes that the dietotherapy direction of Ziyin liquid is "sour and sweet to change yin". Eating sweet and sour foods often can increase the body's vaginal fluid, such as fruits, plums and mulberries. It should also be noted that going to bed early can nourish yin, and it is most important to avoid cold drinks, air conditioners or electric fans blowing your body.
