===Medical Note - Theoron's Disorder=== | |||
A neurological condition which is genetically inhereted, it is considered fatal, but can be treated for the long term. Those diagnosed in time can be treated via daily medication, exercise, neuro-therapy, and in the worst case scenario surgical intervention can be attempted bilaterally in the brain. Most persons with Theoron's Disease are able to live a relatively full life with common sense restrictions in activities, though life expectancy is halved from what might be considered the norm. Ashley is currently still in the Early Stage of the disorder due to regular treatment, and is able in most circumstances to hide the most visible symptom, the tremor. He typically walks with his hands clasped behind him to keep them from view and hold them steady. His life expectancy being a Terran-Denobulan hybrid is an open question, and if treatment were ended the disorder would progress to Late State within as little as a week. | |||
* Early symptoms include a voluntary motion tremor (not while at rest), typically worse in the non-dominant side. Holding delicate objects or firing a weapon accurately can be difficult (though not impossible), and general clumbsiness is to be expected. Ashley has been medically exempted from basic weapons training for safety reasons. | |||
* Moderate symptoms, or symptoms of a flare up if under duress, would progress quickly without consistent treatment. It would include worsening tremor, difficulty speaking or walking, an inability to hold objects steady. Losing visual and auditory ability is the "Point of No Return" for treatment reversing the neurological damage. | |||
* Severe symptons occur only in the late stages of the disorder. Physical impairment is conjoined with a degeneration of mental state as the disorder effects the portions of the brain that control involuntary functions and memory. Late stage sufferers typically pass from unrecoverable organ failure. | |||
