"My grandmother realised that, when I was a year old, my hand was stiff and I was dragging my leg. Then my mother took me to the doctor, and to this day no one has been able to classify exactly what it is, because with all the examinations I've gone through, the results came out normal. But my right side, when I'm tired, is very stiff." (sertaozinho.sp.gov.br, 15 Aug 2019)
