英少女得怪病睡不醒Shannon Magee, 17, suffers from a rare neurological disorder which means she can sleep for 22 hours a day for almost a fortnight. She also has bizarre episodes - roughly once a month - where she will belt out pop songs at the top of her voice, walk around naked and have ghostly hallucinations while she sleeps。
17歲的香儂-麥基因?yàn)榛加幸环N罕見的腦神經(jīng)失調(diào)癥,可以連續(xù)兩周,每天睡22個(gè)小時(shí)。大約每個(gè)月她都會(huì)發(fā)作一次,癥狀很奇怪:睡覺的時(shí)候會(huì)不由自主地唱歌,裸著身子夢(mèng)游并且做可怕的噩夢(mèng)。
For the past five years, the youngster, who has two brothers and three sisters, has slept through birthdays, Christmases, family holidays including a skiing trip to the Alps and even her GCSE exams。
在過去的五年里,她錯(cuò)過了很多重要的事情,比如和兄弟姐妹們一起過生日和圣誕,還錯(cuò)過了一家人去阿爾卑斯山的滑雪旅行以及自己的中學(xué)畢業(yè)考試。
Shannon was seen by various doctors before finally being diagnosed with Kleine-Levin Syndrome (KLS) after her father. There are only 45 people in the UK who have the condition, which is a complex neurological disorder characterised by periods of excessive amounts of sleep and altered behaviour。
香儂看過很多醫(yī)生,最終被診斷和父親一樣患有克萊李文癥候群(KLS),在英國(guó)僅有45人得這種病。KLS是一種伴有間歇性大量睡眠和奇怪舉止的復(fù)雜神經(jīng)障礙癥。
英少女得怪病睡不醒The teenager wants to become a nurse so she can help others, but is worried her condition will get in the way of her dream. Shannon, a college student in Bolton, Greater Manchester said: “It is like being awake in a coma. It takes part of your life away with it. 'It's like I'm in my own little world and I don't recognise people. When I'm awake it's like I'm sleepwalking。”
香儂想要成為一名護(hù)士,但是她擔(dān)心自己的身體狀況根本無法令她實(shí)現(xiàn)夢(mèng)想。香農(nóng)現(xiàn)在是大曼徹斯特波爾頓大學(xué)的一名學(xué)生,她說:“我就像是從昏迷中醒來,睡眠剝奪了我的正常生活。我就像是活在自己的世界里,我不記得人名。當(dāng)我醒來的時(shí)候,我覺得自己在夢(mèng)游。”
