This article is a list of fictional diseases â nonexistent, named medical conditions which appear in fiction where they have a major plot or thematic importance. They may be fictional psychological disorders, magical, from mythological or fantasy settings, have evolved naturally, been engineered artificially (most often created as biological weapons), or be any illness that came forth from the (ab)use of technology.
Yay! Brain Clouds made the list! Itâs what Iâve taken to calling my bad brain days since the weird amnesia/brain tumor news in May. I have days where forming sentences and thoughts are just tough, spacial awareness is off, the fatigue, oh my god so tired.Â
In a weird aside, Iâve been scouring the web for peoplesâ stories about recovery from craniotomies. I can barely find any! When I was going to have my mastectomy, everyone and their sisters were writing about the experience. Brain surgery, not so much. If anyone knows of what recovery is like from a supraorbital keyhole craniotomy or an endoscopic ednonasal approach, let me know. My doctors arenât quite going there yet, but it never hurts to do some research.
