I'm Summer. I write about relearning my own body.

Two years ago I lost my balance, my steady hands, and for a while, my sense of who I was — to ataxia caused by lithium I was taking, exactly as prescribed, for bipolar disorder. The diagnosis now has a name: SILENT syndrome.

This blog is my field notes: what the science says, what my rehab actually looks like, and what daily life is like in a body that has to be relearned. It is not medical advice — it is one honest, documented recovery.

The story so far

2015 – 2023 April

与双相情感障碍和 lithium 共处的八年

lithium 曾让我稳定了一段时间。我完全按医嘱服用,定期做血液检查。

2023 April - 2024

地板动了起来

颤抖、口齿不清、走路不再是自动的。做了好几个月的检查,却没有明确的答案。

2024 - 2025

重建,却叫不出名字

我停用了 lithium。每天两小时康复训练、有氧运动、认知练习。这个博客最初只是我自己记录哪些方法有效的地方。

诊断:SILENT 综合征

终于确诊了——不可逆的 lithium 所致神经毒性。现在这个博客把双相、lithium 和康复放在一起来写。
