It is like a death - the death of your 'normal' life. And then you go through all the stages or mourning: Denial - this can't be my life, there has to be a cure Anger - Why me??!! (or you have anger towards the doctor, the person driving the car who hit you, etc...) Bargaining - I will do ANYTHING to make it better and the pain go away! Depression - Because you realize this is now your life and there is nothing to fix it.

No. We wouldn't go through 48 or more weeks of misery to get rid of the virus if it make the liver worse.

So far from day 1 through day 18, I have started off with fatigue and loss of appetite which then added on to mild fever ranging in the 99.2 to 99.8. Then maybe for the last week of the 18 days so far I have had headaches. My appetite has come back and my fever has finally come down a couple days ago but I still have fatigue and headaches. Am I at risk for Herpes? I have been very paranoid and do not know the intensity of the tingling, itching, redness, sensitiveness, etc...

Are there stages to xanax withdrawal? I'm two weeks off taking xanax and still feel awful. The anxiety isn't so bad but the physical aspects of the withdrawal are terrible; heavy headed, pre-syncope, tingling, numbness, narrowed vision, surreal feelings, etc. I could have saved myself years of torment if the doctors I'd seen had only recognized that I was experiencing withdrawal while taking the xanax itself.

When I had my follow-up MRI, the neuro said he only needed the brain done because if I had new lesions in the spinal cord I would know (they would be symptomatic), but he also mentioned that I could have an MRI of the spine to see if any of the lesions were healing. Does that happen often? After a certain amount of time, are the lesions not likely to heal anymore? So if the symptoms have been there for years, does that mean they're not going to go away? Thanks!

On the contrary she drinks at least 10 beers a day and also mixes this with other prescription drugs. The Doctor at the Hopital said she is operating on 8% of her liver and her chances of living for the next one year is slim if she keeps on drinking. His statement to her had no effect and she continues to self destruct. She is now sleeping all day and drinking all night and is beginning to hallunicnate and seeing things and beliving thing things in her mind that are not real.

Hi damosaab the uk stages liver fibrosis on the ishak scale which runs 0-6, stages 5 and 6 of which are classed as cirrhosis, I think the us. uses metavir for grading not sure how it runs but cirrhosis occurs at a score of 4 I think.If youre at stage 3 youre not into a cirrhosis diagnosis yet.

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.

Then tonight I discussed the death of a local teenager with the mother of a friend of mine. It really has me focused on death. She was my age when she passed, and now all I can think about is that could have been me. She died of pulmonary embolisms. I can't stop thinking about my death. My health anxiety is contributing to this, as well as my undiagnosed depression. I don't know what do to do to stop these intrusive, repetitive thought. Any suggestions?

do they do it before they wade into the deep end of the pool or catch themselves in time in the kiddie section? Most of us didnt realize we had a bad problem or try to quit til we were drowning in the deep end though..

s girl and looked after him the last 15 years. The last almost eight years my dad lived with us after the death of his second wife. He was diagnosed with end stage lung disease in December of 08. As his health declined I was his caregiver. I have been a nurse for most of my life. He did not want to go to a nursing home or a hospital. He wanted to die in my home, which after all those years became his home too. I honored his wishes. He died with me at his side and holding on to him.

That would be frustrating i bet. On monday if i havent had my girl yet, i am going to schedule a day to be induced...ive heard so many stories about difficult labor when induced that i am a little nervous. My other 2 babies came naturally.

My father is in the final stages of dementia. He can no longer hold anything or walk. He quit speaking about 4 years ago. I just was recently told that he no longer chews. This has been for about 6 weeks. His food is thickened so he can swallow it. He has lost about 20 pounds in 5 months. His albumin level is 2.7, and 2.5 is sometimes the criteria for hospice care. My question is, how much longer before he loses his ability to swallow?

I am going to have a fibroscan in a couple of weeks and i am expecting to have advanced liver fibrosis and ciarrhosis (not sure if thats spelt right)! I have heard of ciarrhosis measured in terms of 'stages', can anyone give me any infomation on what the stages mean so that i can be a little prepared for my appointment?

90% within 25 years. More recent natural history studies (perhaps because of the use of MRI to assist in the diagnosis) suggest a more benign outlook than these numbers suggest. Nevertheless, many patients with RRMS do develop SPMS ultimately." I was dx with SPMS. I'm not sure what is on the insurance claim forms, but I have been receiving Tysabri since my dx. @$6,500 per treatment I'm very happy my insurance is covering it!

Please keep in mind that this varies according to the location of the metastisis. I personally know of survivors of many years with mets to the bone. It would also depend on your Mother's general health and what treatment will be prescribed. Another point is that all the lumps you describe in your Mother's breasts may not be cancerous; it would only take one malignant lump to cause the metastisis. Kindest regards ....

we lived within a few hundred yards of my older kids before, but now its a half hour journey and i miss them terribly, as we all saw each other daily for coffee etc,also my hubbys family are useless, cannot even turn up for a visit,my children from my first marriage have done so much for him, my daughter will come and sit with him, cut his hair, even pedicures,she has a 3 month baby and 3 year old,I have also noticed that he does not keep track of things he watches on the tv,if i leave the room

I would not put to much stock into the number 23, remember the numbering of the chapters and verses of the Bible was done by man, not God (I am not saying the Bible isn't inspired because it is, just that the numbering was added to assit in reading and studying). I too have a strong faith in Jesus and have had thoughts of death, but know it is just from my anxiety and depression.

an autopsy is usually performed when requested by the consultant to the patient, or the legal system if the cause of death is unknown and needs to be established. If the cause of death is known, there is no reason to perform an autopsy.
