Avatar f tn I went to South Africa, Namibia, and Botswana doing some volunteer work and when I got home (after 6 months abroad) I began to experience the symptoms that I am about to list below. It has been about 1.5 years since my first trip and I had to cut my second trip this year short due to these symptoms and the severity that I was experiencing. This is affecting my life to the point where I can't work to provide for my family and it is extremely difficult to perform daily tasks comfortably.

Avatar f tn Hey there. In your shoes I'd do more than a little tweaking. I'd rearrange the wording so it sounds more like me. That way I'd be less likely to forget what I was saying. I'd also make it shorter, 10 minutes or so. As prompts I'd use large index cards with just some short bullet points that represent the next idea I want to convey. Not detailed, maybe 10 or 12 all told. I'd make extra sure I emphasized the stuff they want to hear about their role iin the organization.

Avatar f tn Does anyone know of an agency that could use a 16 year old to volunteer in the field of thyroid issues. SInce my daughter has had such a stuggle with this, I think it would be good for her to become more involved.

Avatar n tn He cannot listen and look at the teacher at the same time. He needs his speech testing by a Speech and Language Therapist. They should assess his receptive as well as his expressive speech along with auditory memory, working memory, auditory processing etc. The SALT is also the professional who assesses social interaction skills and they should put together a programme of supports eg. social skills club, mentoring or circle of friends, dinnertime clubs etc.
Avatar f tn So, around this time last year I experienced tingling in my left hand that lasted for a few days, coupled with extreme fatigue. Days later, I developed nystagmus only upon waking that lasted for about 10 minutes or so. That eventually went away after about a month. About six months later I had a severe headache that migrated to my right eye and lasted for over a week. Went to an optometrist, no optic neuritis.
Avatar n tn Minerva, We are volunteers here and not medical professionals, so do discuss your question with your doctor this week. It is important for all diabetics to be followed by an endocrinologist, who specializes in the treatment of folsk with diseases like diabetes. If your appointment next week is with a general physician and if your diagnosis comes back positive, do get a referral to an endo. Listen carefully to the advice from your doctor.
Avatar f tn Pathology report shows infiltrating mammary carcinoma, no special type, low combined histologic grade, Low proliferative rate with apocrine cytology, measuring at least 6MM in greatest extent (best measrued on P63 IHC Slide) Calponin and P63 show absence of myoepithelial cells int he neoplastic tubules, consistent with an invasive interpretation. Immunohistochemical studies for estrogen receptor and progesteron receptor are negative. My questions: No special type? What does that mean?
Avatar f tn You can still request that your slides be read by another Pathology Lab. If you aren't seeing a Breast Specialist I suggest that you do so and this might help clear things up for you. I'm sure you are more than aggravated at how things have gone in the past. I'm not sure why the ADH wouldn't show up on Excisional Biopsy unless the area was so small that it was removed by the previous needle procedure/ OR/ the Excisional Biopsy did not include the area of ADH.
Avatar f tn t seen that as a test for dysphagia in any MS forum. It seems more relevant to get a barium swallow or speech pathology assessment. I've had so many tests lately, and spent so much time at the clinic, that I'd like to avoid this if it's not necessary. Any thoughts?
Avatar n tn Please consult doctor or get the X ray cervical spine done to rule out cervical pathology. Avoid thick pillows too and also get your blood pressure checked.

Avatar n tn Fetal alcohol syndrome is a diagnosis. However she should also be seen by a speech and language therapist to assess her own speech abilities and her ability to follow language (as you say she appears to forget familiar words, doesn't respond to directions/questions etc). The speech therapist should also assess her working memory, auditory memory, social skills etc.
Avatar f tn Dear Joacs456 (using your nickname) Really very sorry to hear that. From your question it appears as though there is a pathology in brain--like aneurysm, hematoma etc due to injury. I am sure MRI must have been done after and before surgery. What do the reports say? Have you consulted a senior neurologist? A more detailed information about medical reports and Neurologist's opinion will be very helpful.
Avatar m tn I made a terrible mistake while drunk I had sex with a sex worker while abroad. She used a condom for oral and vaginal sex. But I did lick her privates without protection. Since returning home I have been to the gum clinic he checked me for STDs but all were negative. But he explained it could be too early to show up now anyway in my system. It happened a week ago. I have however had pains in my testicles it has not moved to the left testicle at the top and seems to be mild epidimitis.
