I am not deleting posts at this time, but I would like to make a request to everyone: please refrain from using all caps unnecessarily, and I would appreciate it if certain posts—like the one from 😁—could be corrected. Can you please be polite enough...
I reach for the Synopen cream when things get truly unbearable... I was out at my relatives' place in the countryside tonight and ended up getting bitten five times on my legs within half an hour... though that’s nothing compared to one instance where there were over 20 bites... I rely on Synopen for the stubborn ones... damn mosquitoes...
You might want to have a heart-to-heart with him first... try to convince him that seeking treatment is the right path and let him know you'll be there for him every step of the way... It would be ideal if he could stay with you once his initial psychiatric care is complete, as most people struggling with addiction find it helpful to change their surroundings rather than returning to the environment where the habit started. By the way, under US law, the police have the authority to take an intoxicated individual into custody for evaluation at a psychiatric ward if they are deemed a danger to themselves or others.
I suspect there is far too much unnecessary connection being made to cryptorchidism; specifically, if one testis is fully functional, it will compensate for the other, preventing any actual issues...
Anorexia can be a direct consequence of cytokines released by tumors, which indirectly affect the hunger center, leading the individual to refuse food... try explaining to him that he needs to eat even if it feels forced... He also needs to recover from the bleeding before we can expect his appetite to improve, unless the tumor continues to interfere, though hopefully that won't be the case... In addition to what's already been suggested, taking a B-complex supplement after each meal might help increase his appetite and aid nutrient absorption.
That’s a bit of an oversimplification... since it's the extremities that get cold, not the core body temperature. There are easily a hundred different factors at play during pregnancy, so it isn't quite that simple
It is because when temperatures rise, the body attempts to cool itself by dilating the blood vessels near the skin to facilitate heat loss through conduction... however, when those vessels are dilated, more plasma can leak into the interstitial space...
cccc....so much frustration 😁 I can certainly understand where you're coming from Honestly, I think your best bet is just to switch providers entirely. If they give you any more trouble next time (and excuse my phrasing, but as a moderator, I have to say it 😁), it's probably time to go. Our system is set up in such a way that you can't really force much change through sheer willpower alone...
It depends on several factors... How old are you? Younger bones tend to knit back together faster, and ribs are actually among the quickest to heal... I believe taking some time off is wise, though avoiding strain on specific back muscle groups might be even smarter—but that can only be achieved through rest... Ibuprofen isn't a bad start, but if it isn't cutting it, ask about something stronger, perhaps something like Percocet if the pain is truly intense... there is no reason for you to suffer needlessly.
You provide excellent data 😁 Could you please elaborate on the pain? I am curious about when it occurs, its point of origin, whether it radiates, and its intensity—specifically if it can be managed without medication, how it responds to treatment, and if it interferes with your ability to work.
Hmm... so there is no dislocation, at least not internally, which is an exceptionally good sign. According to that CT scan, there isn't even any spinal nerve compression. Did your pain start immediately after the injury, or...? Could you describe what the pain feels like? Have you seen a neurologist or a neurosurgeon yet? Has anyone checked your neurological functions since the pain began? Do you have any underlying medical conditions? How did the injury happen?
If she was receiving blood transfusions, it implies she’s dealing with severe anemia... you probably don't realize how unstable her hemodynamic status might be right now...
Unless we are talking about a near-death experience... according to certain statistics, one in five successfully resuscitated patients reports having one... So there is a cardiac defect involved... do you know which kind? It is entirely possible that it stems from decompensation; even if hemolysis is merely a consequence of splenic congestion leading to anemia, that would just further intensify the hypoxia in the heart muscle, worsening the decompensation in a continuous cycle...
No, besides those two types of tumors—carcinoma and adenoma—there are other potential causes for Cushing's syndrome: hyperplasia is actually the most common, followed by certain medications, and even non-endocrine tumors that secrete ACTH itself.
