Weird as Man Walks After Spending 43 Years In Wheelchair On Wrong Diagnosis



 A Portuguese man spent 43 years in a wheelchair because of a mistaken medical diagnosis, finally re-learning to walk only in his fifties.


When Rufino Borrego was 13, he was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy.

After that Rufino  used a wheelchair to get around for more than four decades a neurologist realised  that he in fact suffered from a different disease that weakens the muscles, myasthenia.

The rare disease can be treated simply by taking asthma medication — and just a year after his new diagnosis, Borrego was able to walk for the first time to his usual neighbourhood cafe.
