Saimi Hoyer, 51, who became known as a model and entrepreneur, suffers from an incurable and rare disease. He talks about his situation today on TV1 Alive 24h in an episode of the series.
Saim’s hypogammaglobulinemia, or CVI, is treated at the Savonlinna hospital with an intravenous drug administered once a month. Specialist in internal medicine and infectious diseases No Swede tells on TV what it’s about.
– Saimi does not produce proteins and antibodies that are important for defense, so he is susceptible to various infections, especially respiratory infections.
According to Ruotslainen, the disease is generally treated by replacing the antibody that the person lacks.
– Nowadays, the aim is that these could be taken care of at home. At Saima, this arrangement is exceptional. He visits us. These are always well-tailored solutions.
Saimi now has two children on the threshold of adulthood. Over
Saimi has been receiving treatment for years.
– The darkest moment in this illness was when I was lying in Aurora’s hospital bed in the ward. It was brutal to be in that room as a mother of two small children, when I didn’t know if I would ever get out of that bed, Saimi recalls the darkest times in the program.
– Behind everything was the CVI disease, which weakened my immune defenses.
The illness is not visible from the outside of Saim in any way. There are no separate symptoms either.
– I get infections more easily than other people. During epidemic periods, I have to be much more precise than others, he compares.
– I will never recover from this disease. I am grateful that people walk by my side and support me, he is moved by the care he receives in the series.
The Saimi draw strength from their home landscape. Over
Saimi believes that in addition to the monthly drip, nature helps her survive. Every morning when he wakes up, he sees Saimaa and the forest from the big windows.
– I firmly believe that big deceivers have an effect on the fact that I am still standing next to them today.
