Overview

Excerpt from The Autobiography of a Neurasthene: As Told by One of Them The patient felt at times that her condition was not fully appreciated by him, but after all his optimistic View, his constant effort to encourage the use, not the waste of such energy as was possessed, was infinitely better than the opinion given him by an eminent neurologist, to whom he confided the story of his muscular contractions, similar in nature to those of a progressive spinal cord lesion, of the intense neuritis, the loss of power to the same extent as with the patient whose story is told, so that objects would fall from his hands. The patient had been through the same experience. It was with the greatest difficulty at one time in the experience of both to even use knife and fork at the table, while the routine carving was an impossibility. It was difficult for him to get about to make his professional calls because of the weak ness of the leg muscles, while at night the cramping was of such a nature as to bring him out of bed with a bound. The throat muscles and all those essential to mastication and deglutition in both cases grew very weak as well. There were uncomfortable dreams.
