What can vitamins do?
It's on the bottom floor of the drugstore
It's nothing
Many people think it's cheap
I don't like it at all
But after reading today's story
Maybe you will be impressed by it!
A woman in Qingdao has been suffering from a "strange disease" for three years. Her legs are weak and she has difficulty walking. Then she has difficulty chewing and raising her head. In serious cases, she can't take care of herself. Finally, the woman was diagnosed as a rare "lipid deposition myopathy" in the municipal hospital. She took vitamin B2 for two days and was discharged from the hospital a few days ago.
01
Understanding lipid metabolic myopathy
Lipid metabolic myopathy, also known as lipid storage myopathy (LSM), refers to abnormal lipid deposition in muscle, which is the main pathological change. It is mainly caused by a variety of enzyme defects in the process of lipid metabolism, mainly manifested as muscle fatigue, muscle spasm, muscle pain after exercise, and even muscle weakness, muscle atrophy. Most adult diseases only affect the skeletal muscle, a few affect the liver, heart, etc., but there are also infants and young children with more serious symptoms, which can affect many tissues and organs, such as liver, kidney, brain, heart, etc., which can cause sudden death of children. Therefore, if there is a similar performance, we must go to the neurology department of the special hospital for diagnosis and treatment, so as not to delay the treatment opportunity.
At present, some vegetarians or young women lose weight, resulting in food structure disorders, meat reduction can also cause abnormal lipid metabolism, secondary carnitine deficiency will also appear similar performance. There are also some drugs that can cause carnitine deficiency and abnormal lipid metabolism, such as valproate, pitamoxicillin, etc., which can cause secondary carnitine deficiency and myopathy, which should be paid attention to and avoided.

Clinical characteristics of lipid metabolic myopathy
1. Starvation, cold, infection and pregnancy may be the inducing factors of LSM. Occult onset, chronic or subacute course, persistent or fluctuating myasthenia, symptoms of myasthenia can be spontaneously relieved.
2. Most of the patients developed from exercise intolerance, which was manifested as obvious fatigue and muscle soreness after walking hundreds of meters, which could be relieved after rest.
3. It is difficult to squat up and go upstairs. Most of the patients suffered from severe trunk muscle and neck extensor muscle involvement, manifested as head lifting weakness and "drooping head" sign in severe cases.
4. About 50% of patients with masticatory muscle involvement, can not eat hard food, need to pause for many times during eating, some patients have varying degrees of dysphagia.
5. Muscle atrophy was not obvious in mild patients, but in severe patients, muscle atrophy of the proximal limbs and trunk could be seen, especially in paravertebral muscles. About 20% of the patients had paroxysmal vomiting or diarrhea.
6. Some patients do not tolerate high fat and high protein diet, about 20% of patients with B-ultrasound examination can find mild to moderate fatty liver.
With the accelerated pace of modern people's life, many white-collar workers are suffering from a decline in their physical state due to the increased pressure of work and life. Some people think that their body is always exhausted, which is a sub-health state. But we should pay attention to the fact that some physical fatigue is really a kind of morbid state, not a sub-health state. You should carefully identify it. Early treatment, most have good curative effect.
Under the guidance of doctors, patients can reduce and limit fatty acid intake, increase carbohydrate intake, and take vitamin B2 for riboflavin responsive lipid storage myopathy; carnitine treatment can help to improve the symptoms of carnitine deficiency patients, and medium chain triglyceride has been used as an alternative treatment for very long chain acyl CoA dehydrogenase deficiency.
Relevant experts suggest that we should avoid vegetarianism as much as possible in our daily life. We should have a balanced nutrition, a reasonable meat intake, and a combination of coarse and fine grains, which is more conducive to modern people's health. For some people who are used to vegetarianism or are losing weight, they should supplement a variety of vitamins to avoid diseases caused by vitamin and mineral deficiency. Shengbokang multi-dimensional element dispersible tablets (21) is made of 12 vitamins, 8 minerals and 1 amino acid. It has the advantages of fast disintegration, high dissolution and easy absorption. It can protect the health of Chinese people!
