Unit 3 Text A
百分之七十的解决方案
我喜欢练习跆拳道，其一招一式精准潇洒，犹如翩翩起舞。不过我尤其醉心于过招时的兴奋。步入拳坛，躲闪、侧避、脚踢、临空飞起霹雳腿。我酷爱参加各种循环比赛时，在点到为止的格斗中肾上腺素飙升的激情。我参加过全国比赛，在泛美运动会预赛中赢得铜牌。
这都是很久以前的事了。随后发生了太多的事情：在医学院就读，完成了内科实习，生了一儿一女。最后我成了带教全科医生，再后来又得了一种慢性病。
和众多自体免疫疾病患者一样，我的问题出现二十年后才确诊：体力和精力下降，平衡出现问题，可怕的脸部阵痛，视力下降。出现足下垂后，我最终被确诊罹患多发性硬化症。
导致免疫细胞攻击大脑原因何在？我的医生指出，导致多发性硬化症的危险因素中，遗传因素只占 10%到 30%，其余是各种未知的环境因素。他没有告诉我如何应对这些未知因素，仅仅开了降低复发的干扰素和共聚物-1。他说复发越少，一来致残程度越底，二来再过十年，我还能如那时一样行走自如、工作有效、生活无妨，这种可能性会大增。
我立即开始药物注射。随后四年只有一次复发：右臂短暂无力。然而，我日趋虚弱，机能和活动耐力日益丧失。我先是不能慢跑了，随后站立变得困难。即便用了最新的药物治疗，最后步行和端坐也是累人之事，我要靠一张斜背轮椅。随着时间流逝，因病卧床不起不可避免，这越来越明显。我到了人生的十字路口。
不管是对我们理念的热衷，亦或是拒绝悄无声息地步入死亡，这些动力让医生亲身试验已经存在数百年了。我只有两个选择：要么调节心态，接受现实，即虽然接受最佳治疗，但是残疾日剧，要么更为积极主动，自己应对健康状况。
我曾是个斗士，如今已身心疲惫。不过，只要我能，我还想起身行走，即便区区几步。我开始研究文献，一篇篇阅读 PubMed 上的文章，我心里明白当今临床治疗萌发于数年或数十年前的基础科学文献所撒的种子。我希望能找到阻止我日益恶化残疾的魔弹。
