Eric Lohse - symptomatic
Onset of symptoms: age: 14
Birthdate: 3/28/66
Medications: Megavitamin therapy
How My Wilson's Disease was Discovered
First appeared when in hospital for mental evaluation at 14, doctor said it was the anti-psychotic I was on. The second incident was at 17, doctor at University of Iowa hospital was then claiming it was chronic active hepatitis with final diagnosis being WD.
My Symptoms Before Treatment
Heavy metals in blood but had high seruloplasm. D-penicillin was then administered for a total of 4 weeks but the worst psychiatric symptoms became really bad and was taken off the medicine. A time-released was then given for a period of 9 months after and then ended. Color roots of eyes have hazel brown highlights that look like K-F rings.
My Symptoms Now
Bad time when it comes down to writing on a sheet of paper (ADD type dysgraphia). On anti-psychotic and a megavitamin therapy that include zinc oxide and magnesium given to me by Dr. Pfiefer from his Skillman, NJ clinic. The regimen saved me from having to need a liver transplant that was started at age 13. You can get vitamins from Willner Chemists and local vitamin stores according to Dr. Pfiefer.
Additional Comments
The computer is my only savior from never writing anything or doing anything that would involve drawing a picture to writing stuff like this.
