Clinical: Athetosis, Beri-beri. Impotence. Locomotor ataxy. Lumbago. Paralysis, spinal (spinal sclerosis); rheumatic. Paralysis agitans. Paraplegia. Rheumatism. Rheumatic paralysis. Roaring (in horses). Urine, incontinence of.
Characteristics: A paralytic affection named xxxx has been recognised from ancient times, and has been commonly attributed, as its name implies, to poisoning with xxxx.
Horses fed with xxxx along with oats manifested symptoms of paralysis of the limbs, and also of the throat and windpipe, setting up the condition called "Roaring". Some have died of suffocation.
....the symptoms often remain in abeyance until cold, damp weather sets in.
SYMPTOMS
Mind---Depressed, hypochondriacal.
Stomach---Weight in stomach and indigestion. Heartburn. Nausea. Vomiting. Vomiting of blood.
Abdomen---Colic.
Stool and Anus---Diarrhoea with urgent pressure on intestines. Dysentery. (Constipation).
Urinary Organs---Incontinence of urine. Pressure on bladder, if not immediately satisfied, urine rushes out with great force.
Male Sexual Organs---Impotence. From time to time erections and pollutions.
Back---Lumbago. Pain in back so severe as to prevent movement. Pains in back < or excited by touch.
Upper Limbs---Trembling of arms, < on attempting to do anything.
Lower Limbs---Sudden paraplegia, esp. of younger persons, young men more than young women. Gluteal muscles and those of lower limbs emaciated; upper limbs retaining natural appearance. While lying in bed they move lower limbs with considerable facility, extending and abducting them, but flexion was difficult; esp. difficult to lift up limbs. L. limbs considerably weaker than r. When walking they threw the chest well forward, the haunches projecting behind; they seemed to fall from one foot to the other. They misplaced the feet, bringing them too close to median line, and sometimes crossing it, causing legs ot tangle up. The worst affected walked very bow-legged. The whole weight of the body rested on the metatarso-phalangeal joints, the heels never touching the ground. Walking backward was similarly effected, but was more difficult. Trying to stand steady they swayed widely forward and sideways, and seemed in constant danger of falling; instinctively sought to keep balance by pressing both hands on hips; not at all modified by shutting eye. Hardness of muscles, esp. of abductors and flexors. Legs blue and cyanotic; cold or burning; swollen if they hang down. paralysis of legs and knees. Knees stiff and flexed, with weakness of feet and lameness, without pain. Stiffness of ankles with lameness.
