- Noel Pretor experienced muscle weakness, facial paralysis, and mobility issues beginning in January 2025, initially misdiagnosed by several doctors.
- A family doctor in Leinfelden recognized the severity and referred him to the University Hospital Tübingen for treatment.
- At the hospital, Noel was diagnosed with CIPD, a rare autoimmune disorder where the immune system attacks nerve sheaths causing paralysis.
- Treatment with medication and plasma exchange has improved Noel’s condition, allowing him to return to school in November 2025 and pursue playing soccer again.
