what is paralysis disease - #19250
I am really confused and kind of scared because my uncle was just diagnosed with something called paralysis disease. I thought paralysis was just about not being able to move certain parts of the body, but the doctors told us it's way more complicated. He started having difficulty walking a few months ago, but we all just thought he was getting old. Then last week, he suddenly couldn't move his legs at all. Like, one day he was fine, and the next he was in a wheelchair. I guess I didn’t realize how serious things could get. Now everyone keeps talking about what is paralysis disease, and honestly, I didn’t know there were different types! Some docs keep saying it’s progressive, but I don’t really know what that means for him. Is there a difference between paralysis disease and just regular paralysis? Can anyone explain what is paralysis disease in simple terms? It’s all kind of overwhelming, and I just want to understand what’s happening to my uncle. Like, can he get better? Or is it hopeless?! Any info would really help right now!
