From 2065438 to February 2009, the symptoms of muscular tachycardia became more and more serious. Cai Lei went to Peking Union Medical College Hospital for an examination. After the examination, the doctor advised him to be hospitalized immediately. But Cai Lei was too busy to think too much, so he chose to go back to work.

After ten years' struggle in JD.COM, Cai Lei has many auras: China's "No.1 Electronic Invoice", 20 18 "Top Ten Financial and Tax Figures of the Year", China Academy of Social Sciences' off-campus tutor ... the real winner in life.

First thrive and then wive. Cai Lei and his wife entered the marriage hall two months after they met, and they had a lively and lovely son. With a successful career and a happy family, Cai Lei thought he was on the track of happiness, but fate suddenly played a big joke on him.

On September 20 19, a few months after his son was born, Cai Lei received a PET-CT examination in Tiantan Hospital. At that time, Cai Lei's left hand was out of control and could not droop. After the examination, he knew that his condition was very bad.

Finally, after six diagnoses, the doctor told him that the days of gradual freezing were running out.

"Lirutai" is a drug for treating gradual freezing. A box of 40,000 yuan can prolong life for 2-3 months by taking/kloc-0 for more than 8 months. Cai Lei made up his mind to die or freeze to death.

So he began to develop new drugs and set up a medical technology company. In order to investigate the data, Cai Lei first added 1000 patients with gradual freezing, and persuaded them to fill in the questionnaire. However, during the investigation, many patients died one after another, which made Cai Lei suddenly collapse.

After sending many patients away, Cai Lei said with emotion: "In the end, living is meaningless and has no dignity." He knows very well that his final way home may be like this.

Nevertheless, he never thought of giving up. In the years of developing new drugs, he has invested tens of millions of yuan, established the world's largest private database, and established hundreds of millions of funds. At the same time, he also promoted the research and development of six or seven drug pipelines and built a large animal experimental base.

He is saving himself and others.

Do you know how painful frostbite is? There was once a patient with gradual freezing, which was unbearable. After failing to commit suicide, he spent 46,000 yuan to hire his best friend to commit suicide twice. ...

Frostbite, medically known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, is a motor neuron disease. Motor neurons exist in the spinal cord and have the function of controlling and regulating movement. When there is a problem with the function of motor neurons, the body will lose its motor ability, leading to muscle atrophy, and at the same time, its language ability and respiratory function will also be affected. Slowly, the brain, brain stem and spinal cord will also be attacked.

After suffering from gradual freezing, at first, you may just be weak in limbs, unable to lift your hands, chopsticks or bowls. As the illness worsens, it will become difficult to walk, requiring crutches or wheelchairs.

Then, the patient's swallowing of food is not so smooth, his speech is not clear, and even normal breathing has become a luxury. In the end, people who are gradually frozen may die because of difficulty breathing, inability to eat and gradual physical failure.

Cai Lei spent tens of millions of yuan, but he still can't do anything about the frozen people. Why is it so difficult to treat?

First of all, the treatment needs the right medicine, but the first dilemma in treating gradual freezing is that the specific cause is not clear. About 90% of the gradual freezing disease is the primary disease, and the specific cause has not yet been found. Moreover, there is no specific medicine for people who are gradually frozen.

Second, the above-mentioned "excessive strength" is mainly used to delay the illness and can only barely prolong the survival time by 2~3 months. However, for most patients, the price of "Lirutai" is too expensive to be reimbursed and simply cannot afford it.

In addition, if the patient has lung infection, the cost of ventilator should also be considered; You need someone to take care of you after you lose your athletic ability. These are not small sums.

Fourthly, gradual freezing is easily confused with other diseases. In the early stage of the disease, it is difficult to find out the condition by ordinary examination. Most diagnoses are based on doctors' experience and may be misdiagnosed. Moreover, the early symptoms of frozen people are similar to cervical spondylosis, syringomyelia, spinal cord tumor's disease, brain stem tumor, etc., which are easy to be confused and increase the difficulty of diagnosis.

Fifth, although many patients can't find the cause of death, it is generally believed that it is caused by genetic variation and environmental factors. Therefore, there are some difficulties in preventing people from freezing gradually.

In fact, there are some common diseases besides freezing people, and sometimes it is difficult to cure them no matter how much money they spend.

1, diabetes

At present, the common type I diabetes and type II diabetes are still incurable diseases, and blood sugar can only be regulated by taking hypoglycemic drugs, controlling diet and active exercise. After scientific conditioning, the blood sugar of secondary diabetes and gestational diabetes is expected to return to normal.

2. Hypertension

Like diabetes, secondary hypertension can be cured, but primary hypertension cannot be cured. Because the systemic arteriolar contracture and stenosis caused by essential hypertension is irreversible, most patients need lifelong treatment after diagnosis, and there is no saying that they will never recur or be cured.

3. Alzheimer's disease

Alzheimer's Harmo's disease, commonly known as "Alzheimer's Harmo's disease", is a neurodegenerative disease. At present, it is also irreversible and incurable. Only through standardized treatment can we delay the progress of the disease and relieve the symptoms. If the treatment effect is good, some functions can be restored, but they cannot be cured.
