Mails from Overseas through this English HP on Moyamoya
During the past 2.5 years, I have got about 100 mails from overseas through this HP.
The number of the senders is 43, who mailed me once or several times. They didn't always mention where they live (their nationalities), thus it often happens that I cannot recognize the places of the senders.
The following the data of the countries from which the mails come to me.
USA 13, Canada 4, Germany 3, Singapore 2, Kuwait 2, Thailand 1, Netherlands 1, Korea 1, India 1, Finland 1, China 1, Brazil 1, Austria 1.
This indicates that there are patients with moyamoya disease not only in Asia, but in North and South America, Europe, and even Middle East.
Who sent the mails?
From the patients themselves 6, from family members 28, from the medical professionals 2.
What did these mails tell me? (duplicated)
Inquires on moyamoya disease primarily due to lack of information of this disease: 30, about the diagnoses and symptoms: 6, about treatment (option): 8, about the neurosurgeons and/or hospitals who/which knows this disease: 8, thanks to this home page: 5.
The contents of mails from overseas were essentially the same as those sent from Japanese through Japanese Home Page, but many of them said (complained) about the lack of information of this disease outside Japan, and the lack of the neurosurgeons who have experiences in the treatment of moyamoya disease.
