Barno is nineteen years old. Last winter, she was taken to intensive care with a high temperature, severe headache, and vomiting. The diagnosis was severe bacterial meningitis. The girl had cerebral edema. She was connected to a ventilator, had a tracheostomy, antibiotics, and bronchoscopy.
For several weeks, her body learned to breathe and sleep again. The spinal cord suffered the most. Barno developed spasms - her legs felt like they were tied with belts. Cramps at night, pain during the day, and limited movement in her joints. A wheelchair became her only way to move.
Over the course of a year and a half, they tried medications, injections, and rehabilitation - the effect was weak. After some time, the doctors did a test - an injection of baclofen. Barno felt better, her body responds to the medicine if it gets directly into the cerebrospinal fluid.
Now the girl needs a special pump with a metered supply of medicine. It is installed under the skin on her stomach. A thin catheter goes from there to the spinal canal. The medicine goes right to the source of the pain.
The medicine won't help you get cured, but it will help reduce the tension in your nervous system, pain, and spasms. So that you have the strength to recover.
Let's help Barno.
