My life with MoyaMoya disease: “My name is Jean- My life with MoyaMoya disease: “My name is Jean-Claude, I am 53 years old, married. And I have 2 daughters with my spouse Fiona. 10 years ago, one morning in March my wife insisted that I had a stroke during the night. She thought the two halves of my face were desynchronised. I had felt a little dizzy when getting up but being Diabetic since adolescence I thought I had an undetected low sugar episode. However, at the hospital we got confirmation that I had indeed had a small stroke. It was mentioned to my wife that I might have MoyaMoya. 2 days after returning home, I had my second stroke. This time I felt the pain on the left side of the brain. Afterwards I was paralysed on my right side and had difficulties speaking. I spent 5 weeks in the hospital, followed by a few months of re-education. My prolonged stay allowed the neurologists to confirm the MoyaMoya hypothesis. MoyaMoya is a rare neurological disease, where the blood vessels in the brain close. The brain compensates that by developing a multitude of microscopic blood vessels, invisible on a normal scan. These vessels are however prone to cerebral hemorrhages and thus to strokes. Last week of June I had my first operation. Called “Burr holes”, it consisted of drilling small holes in my skull, so that the blood vessels under the hair can slowly penetrate inside my brain and compensate for the reduced blood circulation. 2 weeks later I had my second mini stroke, this time on the right side of the brain. Like back in March, three days in the hospital for observation. “My” MoyaMoya was not one-sided, as originally thought. So, in September the same year, I had my second Burr holes operation, but this time on the right side of the skull. Since then, I no longer have the same «brain usage endurance», I am feeling a mild to strong tiredness constantly and I have difficulties writing. But I was able to move on professionally, with adaptations. I joined ALAN because I think it is necessary to show that rare illnesses can be “discovered” at any age, in any shape or forms, visible to the outside or not. And one should be able to speak openly about them, without fear of rejection or discrimination."

My life with Arnold-Chiari malformation type I, by My life with Arnold-Chiari malformation type I, by Jean-Paul: “My name is Jean-Paul. I am 55 years old, married and father to a wonderful daughter. I used to do a lot of sports. I played football and was even referee, and trainer for a few years. On top of that I used to run, cycle, swim and go to the gym. I also participated in 10K races, semi-marathons, duathlons, and triathlons. Then in 2003, following an accident, I started seeing different doctors, physio- and psychotherapist because I was experiencing frequent back and neck pain, as well as headaches. In 2005 I was finally diagnosed with Arnold-Chiari malformation type I. Chiari malformation is a structural defect in the cerebellum. It is characterised by headaches, swallowing difficulties, nausea, dizziness, neck pain, an unsteady gait, poor hand coordination, and tingling or numbness of the hand & feet. In addition, the following symptoms may appear; slow or fast heart rhythm, problems of the spine, abnormal breathing, such as central sleep apnoea, which is characterised by periods where you stop breathing in your sleep. In severe cases it can also cause paralysis. While I did between 12-20 hours of sports per week back until 2003, today I have difficulties doing any sports at all. I can only do physical activities (going for walks, cycling) when I am not in too much pain. Due to new health complications I decided to get in touch with ALAN – Maladies Rares Luxembourg earlier this year. I have received invaluable support and am learning to cope differently with my disease. For example, I started doing daily exercises like Yin Yoga or Progressive Relaxation. I am sharing my story to solicit everyone to not judge people who appear to have physical or mental difficulties, because these people might have a rare disease or other chronic health problems. Please be open and don’t judge others based on their looks or abilities, because you too may develop a disease at some point. I am hoping that in the future people with a rare or chronic disease will face less judgement and more understanding."
