Systemic Capillary leak Syndrome
March 25, 2010 by ru30
Systemic Capillary leak Syndrome is a very very rare disorder. That usually happens in adults. but It is so rare that doctors don’t really know the age range.
The symptoms are not always the same but they usually happen like this. First you usually don’t feel to good like you have the flu, Drowsy, muscle aches, fever, and other flu symptoms. So you probably will be laying down, but when you get up you Faint due to really low blood pressure. Then when you wake up again you will have terrible burning pains ( you will probably be in the hospital now getting fluids though an IV due to low blood pressure). Then you will slowly start to gain water weight, one reason you do is because of the IV fluids. You will eventually lose the weight and you blood pressure will go back up. Finally a couple years later you will have all the same symptoms again. You Will be lucky to be diagnosed.
The cause of this disorder is that your capillary have holes in them and sometimes they leak and sometimes they don’t for an unknown reason. This disease is so rare that only a about 50 people have survived their first attack, but over 1,000 people are thought to have had it.
There is no known cure or treatment or way to prevent it because it is so rare. The only thing you can do is go immediately to the hospital if you think you are having an attack.
