ok the title makes it sound like you are playing the most warped crossword ever
“Its a rare disease but no-one knows what it is yet.”
If no one knows what this thing is called there is no way anyone here can help you out. Hope they can figure it out sometime soon
eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome is probably what you are looking for. It is very rare. It is the inflammation and thickening of the skin and tissue under the skin called fascia. It is extremely rare.
IT SOUND LIKE IT MAY BE EOSINOPHILIA-MYALGIA SYNDROME. Eosinophilia-Myalgia Syndrome (EMS) is a rare, multi-systemic, and chronic autoimmune disease caused by ingestion of impure L-tryptophan, an amino acid dietary supplement sold over the counter in the 1980s until removed by the FDA after EMS occurred. Eosinophilia is an elevated level of a type of white blood cell called an eosinophil. Myalgia refers to muscle pain.
Many Americans ingested the supplement regularly or occasionally during the 1980s, often upon the advice of a physician, for medical problems including insomnia, chronic pain, and depression; however, an epidemic of a novel illness, which came to be called Eosinophilia-Myalgia Syndrome, occurred in the second half of 1989 into early 1990 (peaking in October 1989). The overwhelming majority of persons who got sick with EMS had ingested contaminated L-Tryptophan eventually traced to one large petrochemical company, Showa Denko K.K., of Japan. Bottle labeling did not indicate the raw product originated in Japan, and nobody in this country, it seems, was told that genetic engineering had been used to manufacture the L-Tryptophan. Mandatory labeling of country of origin on bottles and containers – had it been in place – might have caused many persons to think twice about taking dietary supplements like L-Tryptophan.
Although five to ten thousand Americans (and many scores in various other nations) were likely affected, approximately 2,000 Americans were seriously injured, many of whom continue to suffer with a variety of symptoms: chronic pain, cognitive dysfunction, muscle weakness and spasms, among other symptoms. Since about 1996, research has slowed to a near standstill. Fewer studies at any time involve EMS, a toxin-induced and man-caused novel disease on the verge of becoming a mere footnote in medical history: Therefore, I call EMS “The Forgotten Disease”!!!!!!!!!
