Sven had suffered from health issues before (diabetes). But in 1997, things got worse. The diabetes caused an onset of severe neuritis and peripheral neuropathy, a very painful disease impairing his dexterity significantly. As if this wasn't enough, he also developed a severe allergic reaction to briar dust of all things! This forced him to close his workshop for official business. | Sven had suffered from health issues before (diabetes). But in 1997, things got worse.
