Paresis (puh-REE-sis) is a slight or partial paralysis, a weakening of a muscle or group of muscles that falls short of complete loss of movement. It differs from full paralysis, where movement is lost entirely. Much of the muscle weakness that CMT causes in the feet, legs, and hands is a paresis: the muscles still work, but with reduced strength.
When Medicine Lost Its Compass
Evidence failed not because it was wrong, but because it was weaponized. I lived the downstream effects of that failure for more than a decade. This is what happens when medicine forgets that data always ends in a human being.
