Hi, my name is Daniela and I have a problem: I am suffering from a peculiar disease where the main problem is that my muscles are always tense, which is very painful and has never been treated properly. Other symptoms are permanently elevated body temperature (especially on very bad days, I had up to 39.7 °C without any other explanation), iron deficiency, tachycardia, high blood pressure and restlessness (yes, I got my thyroid checked and it's normal). All of that, especially the tense muscles, adds up to making life pretty much unbearable for me so I am seeking for a solution. Local anesthetics don't work very well on me, and benzodiazepines do nothing even in very high doses. I heard that there is a link between benzodiazepine resistance and iron deficiency, that might be a hint. I've been diagnosed with spasticity when I was a baby. Personally, I think there's something wrong in the inhibitory parts of the CNS. Could that be? Has anyone heard of something similar? Or could it be anything else? Does anyone have any idea whom I could talk to who could help me with this problem? I've been to many doctors already, and none could help.

But there is no traumatic brain injury. As far as I know it seems that one or the other neurotransmitter has gone awry.

"chronic deficit in either sensing temperature elevations or activating heat dissipation mechanisms under thermal stress" Am J Phys Med Rehabil. 1993 Oct;72(5):281-5.Links Defective thermoregulation after traumatic brain injury. A single subject evaluation.Whyte J, Filion DT, Rose TR. Greenery Rehabilitation Center, Boston Massachusetts. Central fever is a known complication of traumatic brain injury (TBI), particularly in association with brain stem involvement. Chronic deficits in thermoregulation after TBI have not been reported. We describe a patient who had central fevers acutely after injury, but developed intermittent temperature elevations during thermal stress in the post-acute phase. A prospective evaluation of the patient's temperature control was conducted. The patient stayed in the laboratory for two half-day evaluation sessions. On the first day, the room temperature was raised by 10 degrees F each hour and rectal temperature was recorded hourly. On the second day, the room temperature was lowered by 10 degrees each hour in a similar fashion. The patient's core temperature rose above normal in the warm environment but did not drop in the cold environment. This suggests that the patient had a chronic deficit in either sensing temperature elevations or activating heat dissipation mechanisms under thermal stress.

[My paper] T Kondo , K Saito , J Nishigami , T Ohshima Nine forensic autopsy cases were studied. All had injuries of the brain stem and/or upper cervical spinal cord due to traffic accidents. Among the nine subjects, eight were pedestrians and one was a left, front seat occupant of a vehicle. Examination of these 9 cases revealed that three had ponto-medullary avulsion, two had medullary avulsion and the other four had laceration of the upper cervical spinal cord. Atlanto-occipital dislocation was observed in five cases, and a ring fracture around the foramen magnum in the other two cases. Intraventricular haemorrhage, probably due to tears of the choroid plexus caused by hyperextension or hyperflexion of the head, was found in seven cases. In just one of these seven cases, both of the lateral ventricles were filled with dark red haemocoagulum. Hyperextension is considered to occur more commonly in road trauma cases where the victim is alcoholically intoxicated.

[My paper] Tohru Okanishi , Yoshiaki Saito , Shinya Fujii , Yoshihiro Maegaki , Chisako Fukuda , Yutaka Tomita , Kousaku Ohno We report on a four-year-old girl with head trauma caused by a motor vehicle accident. She presented with delirium, oculomotor palsy and ptosis in her left eye, left hemiparesis, and pyramidal signs in all extremities. Computed tomography on the day of admission showed diffuse cerebral edema with right-sided predominance. Magnetic resonance images on day 3 of admission showed lesions of diffuse axonal injury and contusion in the corpus callosum and right occipital and bilateral temporal lobes. There was a low-intensity lesion in the white matter of the right hemisphere on T2-weighted images, fluid-attenuated inversion recovery, T2()-weighted images, apparent diffusion coefficient maps and diffusion-weighted images. This low-intensity lesion disappeared by day 7, and a transient brain atrophy in the right hemisphere appeared on day 28. The low signal intensity in the cerebral white matter was apparently different from that associated with contusion and typical diffuse axonal injury, and might represent a late-onset accumulation of non-heme iron and free radicals in the white matter after head trauma.

For the records, I *am* mostly vegetarian already.
