Ser-Voy-Meria Disease

Ser-Voy-Meria Disease (SVMD) is a fatal brain disease that attacks brain tissue, causing headaches, loss of memory and eventually organ failure.

Ser-Voy-Meria Disease was studied and named after three disease experts named: Alles Ser, Mallien Voy and Damenur Meria.

SVMD is commonly transmitted through blood or fecal contact. This disease is rare however, mostly affecting children and the elderly.

There is no known cure for SVMD and the disease currently has a 100% fatality rate.

History
Ser-Voy-Meria Disease has been documented as far back as the Morthanian Era. However, due to the rarity of the disease it was never studied. Three Authoranian disease experts named Alles Ser, Mallien Voy and Damenur Meria decided to study the disease when a major outbreak occurred in the city-state of Danes in 570 VTIII.

The study was initially only ran by Ser, however, due to the longevity of the disease, the other two joined in to broaden the study.

Due to the disease's history of being documented for so many years, a number of remedies were made throughout history to calm symptoms. Most of these remedies are still used to this day.

Signs and symptoms
The most common early symptom of SVMD is extreme headaches which do not cease. A patient may endure these head pains for years before more symptoms arise.

Other symptoms of SVMD are: nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light, memory loss, motor function loss and muscle spasms.

The disease takes years to kill the patient, with an average infection time to death being 6 years. This time can be greatly reduced or extended based on the health of the individual, with small children and very elderly dying faster than more healthy young adults.

Causes
The most common cause to the disease is contact blood already infected with the disease or contact with fecal matter. Some cases have arisen that the disease has been transmitted from mother to child, either before birth or while breastfeeding.

The disease is common in children and the elderly and is rarely caught by healthy adults. Although the disease affects children and the elderly, it is still rare, with fewer than 100 cases a year being documented in the Mortal World.

Treatment
There is currently no cure to SVDM, however, there are remedies to lessen the pain experienced by the disease.

Opium is often used to remedy pain, specifically when the disease is causing pain in multiple areas.

Herbal remedies are often used to cure headaches caused by the disease.
