Faustine Nogherotto of the StarAc and Psychiatry.

March 15, 2011.



I have read that psychiatrists had medical training, then I wonder why these "doctors" had not been able to see that Faustine Nogherotto was ill. The answer would be that psychiatrists are not more doctors of the body that doctors of the soul?

Illness breaks the dreams of Faustine

She had made a pass at the "StarAc" in 2006. Faustine Nogherotto, a native of Velennes, is reached only disabling as rare disease. She tells about his ordeal.

Even if she had not won the "Star NOC" in 2006, Faustine Nogherotto, a native of Velennes, there had been a noted passage. Its freshness, its voice quality and his pretty daughter he had opened the doors of Fame. Adventure in the emission of TF 1 ablaze had turned short but Faustine was persuaded that it could consider a career in art.
Installed in Paris where she gave music lessons to live, she was en route to live his passion since she recorded an album.
It is this goal was attacking when it was overtaken by destiny cruel way, just after his 21st birthday. "I was in full registration when I contracted Mononucleosis." I felt very tired, with muscle pain, tension falls. I couldn't do anything. »
Faustina enters the Oise to take refuge with his parents to Velennes. The summer will be scary. "I have was hospitalized at the Parc de Beauvais, then to the hospital, clinic and then to Amiens, she says." I lost 7 kg. I was more and more low, no one could tell me what I had. My blood tests were normal. I had to undergo several passages in psychiatry since some physicians supported me that my state of fatigue was in my head. I followed a psychotherapy without any improvement. Psychiatrists argued that I was going well. It was hell. I thought, and my family with me, that I was going to die of an unknown illness. »
Anguish will last until November. The diagnosis finally falls. Faustina suffers from encephalomyelitis myalgic, also called chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia syndrome. "I could finally put a name on what I had." I am closer to the French Association of syndrome of chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia. I've learned from them that the syndrome is recognized as a neurological disease serious, without processing, by the who (World Health Organization), by the United States but not by the France. There is therefore virtually no funds for treatment for this disease. It is not lethal, but the symptoms are very hard to live. »
Faustina is currently followed by one of the three specialist teachers of this disease. "To improve my daily life, it has prescribed me a diet very strictly, without wheat, yeast and sugar, she says." I also sessions of kiné, sophrology. I'm learning to manage my efforts because sleep does not recover. »
Aware of "the chance to have his parents to assist in this test", Faustine wants to take advantage of its notoriety "to talk about this disease, and why not, trigger something that would advance the research." Regarding his future, Faustine lives on the day the day. "I know that approximately 10% of patients recover, but without guarantee not to relapse." I keep hope. Music is always part of my dreams, even if I do more projects.
