Description

Ataxia is a common symptom of multiple sclerosis that affects about 80% of people with the disease, it means the loss of muscle control in arms and legs. In my case, this means, among other things, that I suddenly seem to have forgotten how automatic activities such as writing or drawing work technically. The hand is still able to draw a simple line, but more complex processes - the aforementioned writing or drawing - no longer work. In addition, the hand no longer feels part of my body, it no longer has anything to do with me. After about half an hour or an hour, the spook is over again.

Process

Most symptoms of multiple sclerosis are not visible. I find it very difficult to describe the symptoms verbally in a way that is understandable for my listeners. I often get the impression that even the neurologist treating me doesn't fully understand it, even though she is very familiar with the subject. Midjourney, on the other hand, seems to understand me. I have described the symptoms and am surprised at how accurately the bot translates the descriptions. I have created a series of 15 pictures of the symptoms of (my) multiple sclerosis, the picture of ataxia is one of them.
