The "Alien" Disease

My brother finally resigned. He gave up on that condition was not so strong anymore. After nearly two weeks of outpatient treatment, and the disease does not go away. And at its peak, he could not eat, and dysentery. He was immediately rushed to the hospital.

What happened to my brother? The doctor stated that he contracted a rare disease: Steven Johnson Syndrome (SJS). Hearing the name, this new hearing. And soon I was looking through my google mobile. And I found many articles that discuss the disease.One of them informed that this was caused by a hypersensitive reaction (allergy) to medications or certain viruses. And physical characteristics that look is, the occurrence of red spots all over the body. Blackened lips and canker sores worse. This disease attacks the mucous membrane. Both eyes, genitals and even the anus. This disease can lead to death. Or physical disability (blindness).

Reading all that, my heart sad. My big bro, who was never at all familiar with hospitalization, now for the first time must be curled up in a hospital room, with a rare disease as well. Poor my bro ....
But after I read some testimonials of people who experienced it, it turns out there is still hope for someone to get rid of this disease ... This generates enough my optimism. Hopefully, the hospitals can heal my brother. Along with my prayers, and those who love him: "Lord, give me a healing for my brother, to be healed and healthy as ever again." Amen.
