DARIA had finished with the tears, and not a manner of speaking. On the contrary, everything was going well and he had no reason to cry. But the eyes too dry, not left in peace. Could not read more than a page without having to go to the bathroom to rinse the face. Sometimes it seemed to have sand under the eyelids. The ophthalmologist, the first specialist to whom he addressed, he found no visual defects and confirmed the dryness of the cornea and of the conjunctiva.
addressed to his colleague, an internist, dr. Pine, telling her that the eyes are the mirror of the soul, but also of many other organs and diseases. Pine greeted Daria with a lot of calm, and immediately began to ask her a lot of questions. First on his family, if there was any relatives with diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus or lymphoma. Then went to do the persistent questions about nutrition. “Come to think of it,” said Daria — I find it hard to swallow. It hard to chew and it seems that the foods have a different taste from the usual and then a little bit of time I have gingivitis ever had in 50 years”.
in the face of this confession of dr. Pine-you had to hold back from seeming too pleased. He understood what was going on, the diagnosis was now certain.
“Now we will do a drawing and a small biopsy in the mouth and you will see that we have everything,” concluded dr. Pine.
But what will Daria?
