044. Diagnosis

DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS

SYMPTOM(S): Uncontrollable Laughter
                          Chest Pain
                          Clumsiness
                          Which caused cranial bleeding.

POSSIBLE DIAGNOSIS:
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis--it explains the chest pains, clumsiness and the laughter. The curse is accelerating the effects the degeneration process of the disease, usually it's a lot more slow. Search for DNA abnormalities or any hereditary link.

Pseudobulbar palsy onset by a tumor in the high brain stem or motor neurone diseases that would cause the disorder int he brain stem and spinal column.

Dementia (scribbled in) by Kuru causes the laughter as well as the inability to cooperate. The laughter would be causing the chest pains all the way down to clumsiness if that's the case.

CJD-?

The first two are not entirely treatable. A sample of tricyclic antidepressants would rule out dementia.


[ooc; 
Curse or not, he'd want to diagnosis this. Since House is kind of an investigatory doctor, for nowit is just ruling out different diagnosiseses since tomorrow is OH SNAP THIS ISN'T NORMAL day. Any questions, comments or things I shouldn't be doing plz do AIM me. That's why God LJ made edits.]

He's glad he can help. Really. Even if it's by being the infected one.

Oh! Was House talking about Mat in some of the comments here? If so, I find it all hilarious~ If not, still hilarious.

Hard to study diseases without them sometimes.
