686681 tn?1227305438 Well, here goes! I have 9 ruptured discs in my back and surgery has been ruled out. I have been diagnosed with Fibro, Restless Leg, Sciatic nerve compression, periferal neuropathy, compression neuropathy, diabetic neuropathy, spinal stenosis, and, o yeah, I'm diabetic. The pain has increased substantially to the point where I have no quality of life. I take Lyrica, several diabetic medicines, 40 Mg Oxycontin three times a day with 10 Mg/325 Peercoset for blow over pain.
Avatar n tn I have had diabetes for 7 years and recently worked with the diabetes educator at one of my local hospitals as a high school intern. We did a lot of teaching about diabetic socks. Diabetic socks are not a scam. People with diabetes are supposed to wear cotton socks so that the socks breathe. Also diabetic socks are supposed to help with keeping good circulation to the feet. Since people with diabetes need to take extra care of their feet.

Avatar m tn The presence of more than eight cotton-wool spots has been associated with a higher risk of the more severe form of diabetic retinopathy known as proliferative diabetic retinopathy.

Avatar m tn You can get AIDS tests online if you want a more discreet way of being tested. But when you bleed it usually goes out and not in. Most of the type of AIDS transmissions you are worried about is from a constant exposure going directly into your system. I had a friend who was stuck with a diabetic needle over 6 years ago from a patient who was HIV positive. Guess what she never got HIV or AIDS. So, I doubt a bite on the lip would not give you AIDS.

Avatar n tn My daughter has had type 1 diabetes for over 20 years and has diabetic retinopathy. After a series of bleeds and resulting laser surgery, she suffered a detached retina in one eye and underwent a total vitrectomy. Three days later, she could see nothing - the result, probably of an infection. She was treated with antibiotics and steroids, but her sight never fully recovered and now a fluorogram confirms that she has lost blood supply to approximately 25% of the retina.
Avatar n tn Although, the lady said she had 7 years experience in teaching hiv/aids education. I chose to ask Teak if it was accurate and conclusive. The key here is not that I am paranoid or ignorant. I hope someone more knowledgeable and experienced with hiv/aids such as Teak would reply. However, when I asked Teak specifically I have not heard from him. Instead I get a response from a 16 year old boy who answers for Teak. Is it too much to ask for an answer? What have I done wrong?
Avatar f tn I dont mean for use with a child at all but i know our small town will take some at local highschools for parenting classes and health units for prenatal classes as teaching aids. I think even the fire departments take them for demonstrations of vehicle rescues. Hate to see them going to the dump Is all!
Avatar n tn im a 18 year old type one diabetic and im trying to find a job like as an EMT and i was wondering is there any jobs out there that a type one diabetic can pursue a career that i can go to college for?
Avatar f tn I have an 11yr old boy that was dx type 1 ... [More] diabetic at the age of 2. I need help... I just don't know what to do about him sneaking what he knows he can't have. I know this is a very common issue with children. My problem started this year after Easter when I started to find candy rappers all over his room. I sat with him and talked about why he was doing it and his only answer is "I don't know.
561705 tn?1234546159 Your doctor might accept them to recycle, mine does. If not, call the closest teaching hospital and asked to speak with someone in the hepatology department.
Avatar f tn I will be teaching my little one sign language starting from day one.
Avatar m tn The difference is massive. I am a registered nurse, I worked for over 10 years in a teaching hospital. Residents and fellows do need to learn but surgery for pelvic organ prolapse is very complicated with a very high risk of complications if not done correctly. Instead of a doctor who has done hundreds of surgeries you would have someone learning do your surgery.
Avatar f tn Okay so today I used my clients diabetic meter and he got out a new lancet (unused) but the test strip that was in the meter was already in there and I asked if it was a new one and he said yes. But I am worried there may have been some blood on there that I didn’t see and I’m not for sure if it was a new one or not. So if there was blood on the strip how much of a chance do I have contracting hiv? I don’t think he has it but I’m not for sure.
2009318 tn?1328025437 I have been diabetic since age 8 and now i am 29 years old and finnally got my diabetes under control enough to get prenant. I am now 21 weeks along and the doc says me and the baby are healthy but I still have high blood sugars for time to time. I worry that I could be damaging the baby. When I have these high blood sugars of 300 or more i can feel the baby kick and move is that a good or bad thing?
Avatar n tn It was at a teaching hospital. Also the samples were taken off site and had to be transported there, anyway the blood sample was mishandled? I really had moved on until I got this damn pneumonia and now I'm freaking out again! My doctor still insists I'm in the clear. I've never been sick like this, coincidence?!!
Avatar n tn Epo for anemia; ADs for depression; sleep aids for insomnia; topicals for skin problems -- and the list goes on and on. If your doctor's idea of helping you is to say "tough it out", then you might want to start interviewing other doctors to see if you can find someone who can hep. Those most experienced are called liver specialists (hepatologists). They can usually be found at your larger, teaching hospitals. Hope things get better soon.
Avatar m tn I emailed her teacher last night when i got home and she immediately emailed back and said that she sometimes forgets the children are only 5 years old. She's been teaching for 13 years, so its suprising to me. I think if it does continue I will meet with the principal and discuss switching teachers. NJ schools have had a lot of educational cuts. There is one teacher for 26 kindergarteners and no aids. Sometimes parents come in to volunteer, but its not consistent.
