"I don't have simple phantom limb syndrome. My situation is more complicated than for those who are missing. In phantom limb disorder, even if the patient can see the amputated limb or feel the intense pain from the wound, they can still vaguely "feel" the limb. It's like a clenched fist that they can't reach. He sighed and went on to explain:

"A lot of us know it's a delusion, but at the same time phantom limbs are easy to understand. All people can feel their bodies and their parts moving. I don't know if you can understand that, but you can imagine what it's like to have a phantom limb. You can feel it and its movement, the only difference is that "it" is no longer there. ”

Zhou Yu paused: "What if the lost part is not so mechanical?" Some people don't just have this 'hallucination' when they lose their limbs, and some people may have phantom eyes when they lose their eyes or vision. ”

I immediately understood. Zhou Yu's eyes also look normal, but if you look closely, you can still find that the gaze of her right eye is stiff and weak. Could it be a prosthetic eye? It's incredible, such a real prosthetic eye, even I, who have always been observant and meticulous, didn't realize it. Is there really such a prosthetic eye in the world? How much does it cost to transplant this prosthetic eye?

Zhou Yu is undoubtedly not an ordinary person, he definitely belongs to the rich level, even if he can hide the momentum of his high position. But he can still occasionally see from the little bit that leaks from his words and demeanor that his life experience is extraordinary.

But now, he is not imprisoned in a psychiatric sanatorium, no matter how extraordinary a person is, he is also powerless. This guy should be unwilling. Silently, I defined him in my head.

As for the phantom eye that he said, it was quite interesting.

It was a little-known hallucination. About 30 to 50 percent of people develop "eye hallucinations" after enucleation surgery. It bears some similarities to phantom limbs, with patients claiming to be able to "feel" the presence of the eyeball, and sometimes even the "need to blink", or "eye pain" caused by insufficient rest. However, phantom eyes are much more serious than phantom limbs, because patients with phthalmiological eye illusions experience real and severe pain.

There are a small percentage of others who will have visual hallucinations after surgery, as if their eyeballs were still working normally. Most of the time, patients report seeing basic geometric shapes and blurred patches of color. These visuals have been described as resembling tiles/mosaics or resembling fireworks. This vision is present in their daily lives for thirty to forty percent of the time. About 1 percent of people have severe hallucinations in which they can "see" objects and faces that they can see with the normal eye. Sometimes these hallucinations are so real that people can't tell the difference. In this case, they really have the "hallucinatory eye" that can see hallucinations.

"I wonder if your phantom eye is a phantom eye or a hallucination?" I was going to smash the casserole and ask for the end, but I always felt that the old fox was hiding something in secret. Why he was thrown into the seventh floor is even more interesting to me.

Because there is too much information hidden here, I have also let myself deeply touch some of the rules of the seventh floor.

"I didn't expect you to know so much?" Zhou Yu was a little surprised, he looked at me a few times, and then replied: "The symptoms of eye hallucinations and visual hallucinations have appeared in me. ”

"That's why you're sent to the seventh floor?" I asked again.

He was silent for a moment, not speaking.

I immediately understood the answer, smiled slightly, and faintly continued to probe: "Has the doctor in the nursing home used Mirrortherapy therapy for you?" ”

"You mean mirror therapy?" He asked rhetorically, "Yes, but it didn't work." ”

The treatment of phantom limb syndrome is not difficult to say that it is simple, but it is also quite simple and strange, and it has always been popular in the world is Mirrortherapy, which is also commonly known as mirror therapy.

The method is really simple and strange, put a diagonal mirror in a box. Ask the patient to put the limb they actually own into the box, and the mirror will allow the patient to see the other limb. Let the patient continue to relax the nerves and move the limbs. After that, they will feel that their other limb is not injured, and then the pain will gradually go away.

Doctors believe that there is a system in the brain that monitors various parts of the body, and that the "confirmation" of its monitoring process is done visually — for example, if a patient sees his or her "fake left hand" in a mirror, and when completely relaxed, the patient may make this system in the brain think that his or her left hand is still there.

Because in a surgical procedure, such as when the patient's left hand is amputated, but the monitoring system in the brain is still there, and when the patient can see the bare arm as soon as he opens his eyes, this system will send a signal for the patient to pay more attention to the missing limb, and this signal can be severe pain.

So mirror therapy has a good relieving effect on this pain released by the brain.

"It's normal that there is no effect, and there is almost no similarity between the treatment of phantom limbs and the treatment of phantom eyes. In your case, some doctors will directly prescribe tranquilizers to patients, while others will let patients find their own solutions, because doctors can't do anything about it. Intense and physically demanding training allows people with eye hallucinations to distract themselves from the eye and reduce pain and vision from the eyes.

Patients who do not respond to training require even more bizarre treatment. Some people with more severe eye hallucinations wear a device that releases electrical current into the eye socket. A tiny amount of electric current does not cause injury, but a non-stop electric current can divert the patient's attention and hallucinations. They use electric shocks to make their phantom eyes surrender to their brains and bodies. I pouted, observing his reaction as I spoke.

Zhou Yu was definitely not sent in because of the phantom eye in his mouth. This was certain from the look on his face. Perhaps, he was also framed.

"I've tried everything you said, but it didn't work." Zhou Yu shook his head and said bluntly: "I'm sorry, I want to stay alone for a while and take a rest." ”

I left with a sense of humor, and the next ten days have been deepening the communication with him. I've always memorized his name in my mental notebook, and this old fox is very useful. So when Bai Shan talked about taking me out yesterday, I immediately thought of Zhou Yu, who is a good cannon fodder. Of course, it's hard to use him, and you might accidentally capsize in the gutter.
