282804 tn?1236833591 Thank you Jan for showing an interest in those of us who live in other countries but share the same issues.
29837 tn?1414534648 m not saying we should all go run off to get medications and operations in other countries but do know it happens everyday. Many Americans walk over the boarders to get dental work, medications and surgeries. I guess it's the other way that creates monkey exchanging problems. : ) Best to you FYI: My sister has a great looking Mexican Grill ( teeth) Made in Mexico. She's been doing this for many years. Nothing has fallen out yet.
Avatar f tn Iv noticed there are a lot of people on here from different countries or states. Thought it would be interesting to see where your all from :) I'm from Wolverhampton, England.
Avatar n tn Recovering from respiratory illnesses such as pneumonia can be different for people. Some recover in a week and others can take a month or more. https://www.lung.org/lung-health-and-diseases/lung-disease-lookup/pneumonia/treatment-and-recovery.html Here's another article to consider in your care. https://www.drugs.com/cg/pneumonia-aftercare-instructions.
Avatar m tn I had several high risk encounters with different guys 2 years ago, including UNprotected oral, vaginal and anal sex with different CSWs of several unindustrialized countries.. I know I have a stupid past but I've abstained from such behaviors for 2 years.. I realized that I have to stop it because I read something about AIDS, which rarely came to my mind before... Then I got tested for HIV 3 months, 6 months and 12 months post my last high risk exposure, all negative.
Avatar n tn Eight days ago I was diagnosed with pneumonia and given medication that made me very ill. I was told that it would take a few days for the meds to do thier job. On the sixth day, I was in real bad shape. I had sharp shooting pains in my back, right side under my ribs, muscle spasms, and shooting pains in my right shoulder. I could not walk, lay down, or sit with out pain .

Avatar f tn I have beloved brothers and sisters who are missionaries in different countries. God bless your efforts for him. Many viruses and infections can cause inflammation in the limp glands. If it persists or continues to re-occur I would want to get it checked. Are there common known diseases or infections associated to that part of the world? Does a fever accompany it? Where is your family commended to? Has she been immunized and received her other vaccines?
Avatar f tn Pneumonia is not contagious. But it is usually a result of some other kinda bug thats not treated resulting in that it causes fluid on the lungs, which takes a while to turn into pneumonia. If you arnt having symptoms of the original chest cold, or flu your fine.
Avatar n tn t get vaccine even if it is known the mother is infected Us has few very very good hospitals but many are so low as third world countries on some subjects like this, vaccination should be mandatory in children as in most european country, it is expensive but you can eradicate hbv complitely this way.In our country if you have hbv infected mother and don't make vaccine to the baby you can sue hospital for a lot of money but since this is mandatory it cannot happen.

Although it allows for the food to be labeled “fat-free”, research shows a consumer is better off eating the regular fat version. Olestra can cause abdominal cramps and discomfort, and lead to more food consumption in the long run.
Avatar n tn In most cases, Kennel Cough is more annoying to the owner than it is to the dog, because the dog hacks and coughs at all hours making it difficult for the owner to sleep or concentrate on anything but the hacking sound. In some instances, though, it does worsen to the point where it CAN cause pneumonia, and the fact that he had the cloudiness in his chest x-rays and it doesn't seem to be responding to antibiotics sure looks like a case of Kennel Cough that has gotten much worse.
242516 tn?1368223905 The flu has passed epidemic rates in much of the country, and if you don't have a cold, I'm sure you have a friend who has the sniffles, fever, chills, aches and pains of a viral upper respiratory infection. This is different from a bacterial infection such as sinusitis, bronchitis, or pneumonia. A viral infection doesn't improve with antibiotics as these infections do. A virus hijacks your own body's healthy cells and uses it to reproduce and spread.
Avatar f tn An American patient treated for Ebola in Nebraska and then released is now in isolation in a hospital in Massachusetts. Dr. Richard Sacra went to an emergency room early Saturday in Boston with a cough and fever, according to the missionary organization Serving in Mission. He was afraid he might have pneumonia. Because of his previous infection, he was transferred to the UMass Memorial Medical Center in Worcester, the center said in a statement.

Avatar f tn I probably should have put this on the autism forum, but since I know most every one here, and we all have more in common I felt more comfortable just venting here. I am sorry for not keeping in touch the past few weeks. first week pneumonia, second approved for chemo, third no chemo, forth no chem. I dont even want to know what the ca125 is since my numbers are always running pretty high, anyway I am sorry.
1618318 tn?1318196283 Noramlly aspiration pnuemonia would cause a bacterial pnuemonia. Because you actually inhale food particles or liquid. In other words your food is going down the wrong "pipe". Antibiotics should take care of any infection, you should also try some learning effective coughing skills also. This will aide in getting the particles back out of the airway. You can have blood drawn to see whether it is a virus or bacteria, but it is most likely bacterial pnuemonia.
1747881 tn?1546175878 CAIRO (Reuters) - Islamic State warned in a new video on Monday that countries taking part in air strikes against Syria would suffer the same fate as France, and threatened to attack in Washington. The video, which appeared on a site used by Islamic State to post its messages, begins with news footage of the aftermath of Friday's Paris shootings in which at least 129 people were killed.
Avatar f tn Recommended to keep feeding tube in, and completely abstain from ALL foods for 30 days to relax the muscle and keep elevation of head when sleeping. They tend to think it is a form of neuropathy, what kind is up in the air. In just doing my own research, I thought perhaps autonomic neuropathy-maybe that is just a "vague" description. But I tend to think after your response it is achalasia possibly co-morbid autonomic neuropathy, if that is possible.
Avatar f tn About a month ago I was diagnosed with pneumonia. Never been sick like this ever in my life. At the time I was pregnant and chalked it up to having a compromised immune system. Unfortunately, due to complications, I miscarried. I did begin to get well, but immediately following I experienced pain in my left lung and in the breast tissue. I am afraid as I'm starting think that I came down with the pneumonia the way I did because something else is going on.
