Maria Paula Vieira joined the Tinder app shortly before the Covid-19 pandemic, hoping to meet the person she loved. But he didn't know that this experience was going to change his life.

One of the people she connected with on Tinder was Lucas, a medical student. Maria Paula decided to talk to him about the chronic pain that forced her to use a wheelchair.

He remembers that since he was three years old, his hands burned as if "on fire"; A feeling of peace accompanied by pain and peeling of his skin. The doctors could not diagnose the cause of this problem.

But a conversation with Lucas put him on the path that finally led to the diagnosis of his illness.
