Avatar f tn Please post again about your friend. He is in such bad shape, hope he got into something, somewhere for help.
Avatar f tn t give me an amount of time that he thought she would survive. Izzie goes back and forth between drinking tons of water and not wanting to drink at all. Recently she has been tremoring off and on throughout the day but does not appear to be bothered by these episodes. She doesn't eat much dog food but will eat almost any human food I give her. My question is, even with without excessive vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss, etc. does the increase in tremoring mean she is close to death?
Avatar f tn It's not a good idea to start force-feeding her, or "making" her eat. No child will starve themselves to death if food is available, so when she's hungry enough, she WILL eat. It's become a battle of wills and a way of getting attention (albeit negative) for her, so you need to stop it before it gets any worse. Simply explain that she's a big girl now and she needs to eat properly.
Avatar f tn I'm living it right now and to be honest, I am aware of 5 to 7 steps or stages of the grief process, but they don't matter, because you survive one day at a time ....baby steps, and not time frame, since everyone heals at their own pace. It's been 2 years for me and I do feel better, but I am not yet completely healed...it takes a long time.
495284 tn?1333894042 3. ANGER & BARGAINING- Frustration gives way to anger, and you may lash out and lay unwarranted blame for the death on someone else. Please try to control this, as permanent damage to your relationships may result. This is a time for the release of bottled up emotion. You may rail against fate, questioning "Why me?" You may also try to bargain in vain with the powers that be for a way out of your despair ("I will never drink again if you just bring him back") 4.

Avatar f tn My 89 yo father has COPD and his recent time in the hospital he became constipated with no bowel movements. They tried many things (suppositories, enemas, miralax and a myriad of home remedies) with still no success. A CT scan showed both stool and gases in his colon. A sigmoidoscomy relieved some of this but not much. We were told he isn't a candidate for a full colonoscomy without a lot of risk. He was sent home with hospice. He has gotten very weak and can't even sit up without help.

1211319 tn?1282527452 He is yellow and the whites of his eyes are more yellow. How long can a person last like this. He will not give up his drinking. He has been drinking everyday for 15 years.
Avatar f tn Welcome to the anxiety forum! With a three year old child, you're going to see all sorts of stages with her eating. You did the right thing by taking her to the doctor, which is what you need to continue to do. If you feel some of this is behavioral, you need to set limits and be firm at mealtime. In that case, the answer isn't giving her whatever she "likes', you must remain consistent so that your daughter knows YOU call the shots.
Avatar f tn Though even with an altered metabolism not eating enough is just as harmful at times as eating slightly too much. Its also hardto get someone moving around who hurts and Iis out of breath everytime they move . Thank you for your response.
Avatar f tn Sometimes an enlargement causes heart failure. In the advanced stages , failure has symptoms of varying degrees. Some people are incapacitated and find it hard to move around, but others can get by ok.
1201072 tn?1289760591 She keeps me up all hours of the night with strange situations she believes as happening, but is not. What should I expect in the near future as this will no doubt continue. I do not know what to do.
Avatar n tn Her breathes are short and quick, she complains of muscle quivers and eating is diffficult for her. She can not stand for any length of time. I understand it is difficult to put a time frame on her condition-but I am curious about the final stage of this disease and what I should be looking for. Thank you.
Avatar n tn My husband has been stage 4 for at least 2-1/2 years (probably quite longer), has had hcc diagnosed and removed, and is still considered Class A cirrhosis. He has not has any of the major danger signs of decompensation -- we keep reminding ourselves that yes, he will die, but because he's human, not necessarily because he has cirrhosis -- the battle is not yet lost.
Avatar f tn s electrolytes which, in turn, can have disastrous consequences such as a disruption of the heart rhythm. Death due to dehydration can easily occur within 48 hours in the extreme heat we've been having this summer. Please take everyone's advice to contact your vet ASAP very seriously! And please post back and let us know what the vet says.
Avatar f tn No impairment (normal function) The person does not experience any memory problems. An interview with a medical professional does not show any evidence of symptoms of dementia. Stage 2: Very mild cognitive decline (may be normal age-related changes or earliest signs of Alzheimer's disease) The person may feel as if he or she is having memory lapses — forgetting familiar words or the location of everyday objects.
Avatar f tn I am so very sorry about your little dog's passing. I obviously can't tell you what the cause of his death was. Only a necropsy (autopsy) could determine that. I am making an educated guess however, as when you said he had belly contractions, this reminded me of my own dear dog who passed from hemangiosarcoma. She had a massive internal bleed in her last few hours, and kept contracting her belly muscles. I know this was an instinct to try to get something out of her insides.
Avatar f tn I think there are different stages of addiction..the early stages which are most easily broken and then the last stages where one has to do or die. Actually as i type I realize that one always has to do or die because if one does not stop in the early stages it can progress to a much more difficult time and a more difficult recovery.
Avatar n tn I know that I have many of the symptoms of hypothyroidism, but some things, like the high blood pressure, dont fit and my thyroid test results are all in normal range. Given the increase in my levels, could it be that I could be developing hypothroidism? Would it be a good idea to have my thyroid levels checked again since it was January the last time they were checked or should I wait longer?
Avatar n tn My 13 year old poodle came down with peripheral vestibular syndrome about a month ago. She has not eaten normally since. Her bloodwork is fine and I had her x-rayed to look for anything else 3 days ago. Her balance is much better, but she is sometimes still wobbly. Mostly we can walk around normally and she doesn't seem to feel bad. But she is not eating and in the last two days she hasn't had even a cup of food. She sniffs it, maybe licks it and then walks away.
271399 tn?1242830135 I am normally a big eater but lately the thought of food makes me sick to my stomache. Now every now and then I get cravings, but most of the time I really just don't feel like eating. Is this normal in early pregnacy?
192055 tn?1263555537 t went through the 5 stages of death. No matter what everyone who loses someone has to go through these stages..So my advice to you is to get out some pictures and just cry. You need to cry..it really helps. but i am no expert..
1472764 tn?1287588186 I did however have severe morning sickness, but my doc told me that its normal not to feel hungry or want to eat very much in early stages of pregnancy. You have a long ways to go! Believe me, you will definately get hungry! Your little one is not yet big enough to take from you. Enjoy and congratulations! Bloating definately comes with the increase in hormones! It can also subside at anytime. As far as cramping during a bowel movement, it always happened to me, but I don't know why.
