Solo, C Java (ANTARA News) - The Dr Moewardi General Hospital here has since Wednesday (Jan 6) been treating Katiyem (46), a female patient suffering from a strange disease.
Katiyem, a resident of Pojok hamlet, Gondang village, Wonogiri, Central Java was admitted to Dr Moewardi General Hospital on a recommendation from the Wonogiri district`s health office. it was learned on Friday.
In a talk with an Antara reporter, Katiyem said she had been suffering from the disease since six years ago.
"I feel very sick if I do not hold hands with my husband. Before I was taken to this hospital, my husband, Laman (59), even had to put his leg on my body to keep the sick feeling away. I get a splitting headache and my body hurts all over if I am not holding hands with my husband," she said.
Because of the ailment, Katiyem had spent the last six years only lying in bed, unable to do anything on her own. Her husband, Laman, was also not in a position to work because every time he left Katiyem, she would cry in agonizing pain.
"She refused to be left alone. If I absolutely have to do something away from her, my son takes my place in holding her hand," Laman said.
Doctors at the hospital have so far not been able to come up with a firm diagnosis of Katiyem`s condition. One of them, Dr. Djoko Suwito Sp Kj, said no physical symptoms of a known disease were found on Katiyem.
But Suwito said, from an interview with Katiyem, he had drawn the conclusion that she was suffering from delusions or mental disorders.
He said he had never before encountered a patient suffering from the same condition as Katiyem`s.
