But then the masses start to appear. And not only the masses. So when I went, tried to check for the second spot in here, it showed nothing. Then another time, and the other hand, I start to feel another, like the same sort of pain in this hand. So the family doctor was just, okay, well, I don't know what to do. Let's, let's do another ultrasound. We do the ultrasound. We discovered that there is a mass in this hand and the spot that I was pointing to previously. It has a small mass as well. There is a mass on the other hand here, you know, um, and they describe them as cystic masses or, you know, something benign. Don't worry about it, leave it. But the big one, the first one that appeared, is, you know, it kind of showed some sort of, uh, at the beginning they said some, um, they couldn't recognize what it is, but some pieces of stuff inside it.

But it it shouldn't—.
Dawood Al-Janaby · 3:07:40
You shouldn't be worried about it, you know. And then another mass appeared in the same hand, you know. It's like I have like 6 of them right now. But within that process, you know, as well, I realized, let's say, just trying to take a shower, I can't stand on my feet. So I was also checking on my— the sole of my feet, like there's something wrong. I can't stand. What it is too painful. With the ultrasound, the first time it was normal. The second time it shows something called plantar fasciitis. Showed it all in one feet— sorry, one foot, and then the other one followed as well.

And I'm just, I'm just going to focus you because we have strict time limits today, and I want the MPs to have an opportunity to ask you questions. But you basically can't live on your own anymore, so you, you, you would live with your, your parents, right?
Dawood Al-Janaby · 3:08:31
Yes.
Dean Allison · 3:08:32
So, you know, you're basically a young man that now cannot live independently because of what's, what's happened.

100%. Not only that, let's say even when I'm going to graduate as an engineer, I don't think that I will be employable. You know, which company will accept an engineer that, okay, yeah, you're a software engineer, basically your brain is the main, you know, kind of functioning part in your whole career. So if that thing can go off in certain periods of time, who's going to hire you? You know, and it wasn't only that. Also, like, I used to get rashes that come and go. The only difficulty with knowing what was that is that they come and they go in the same day. So by the time the doctor try to take a biopsy or like he tried to arrange for a biopsy, the thing disappeared and you don't even know what it is. At the same time, all my face, you know, all the gray hair, I lost hair. So you ask me for a post picture.

This is the post thing, you know, they do blood tests, it comes normal. Nobody knows what it is. Um, at the beginning I wasn't aware about the heart issues because the severity of the pain and fatigue was—.

I was just— I'm going to ask you just to rein her in just because I want to give— we want to give others opportunity to ask you questions.
Dean Allison · 3:10:05
I— then they're going to ask 4 questions. I got Mr. Dawson on the list.
