Avatar f tn It is not considered to be an STD as it can be cultured in normal asexual adults. It`s role is still uncertain. I am not sure why your GYN tested for it, but since you tested positive you and your partner may consider therapy. This is confusing I know. We don`t test or treat for it in our clinic.
Avatar f tn I know that eating disorders is being more and more recognized as not just being an issue for teens and young women as I have read more and more about it and my therapist says it is so very common in the older population as well. The only thing I can tell you is that your not alone and please seek some help. Your therapist can keep the fact that your seeking help for that issue very private. I am in help right now for several things but the eating disorder is certainly 1 of them.
Avatar f tn Sexual Life is a big part of our existence, but the way we do sex, and the frequency with which we do sex, changes greatly over time. Although studies suggest frequency of sexual activity may decline as you get older, for many older adults, sex is still a big part of their lives. As some studies show, older adults are not without their desire to have sex, and having an active sexual life is something to encourage.
Avatar f tn I have had a tear in my esophogus. It was from vomiting then the stomach acid wearing on my esophogus. I went to urgent care because it worried me. I ended up on an h2 blocker to prevent it from happening again. If your Dr has an on call number, call. Get a consultation on what the Dr wants you to do if you can. Its very hard to say what it could be.
Avatar f tn All I hear is I want this or that and dinner was not what I want so throw it away and make us each something different. I have one with a birthday in a week and two with birthdays in December. I give the two that have birthdays just before Christmas theirs early so they appreciate the gifts more, with Christmas a few days later the birthday gift don't get the appreciation they deserve. My husband and I decided to give all three their presents today.

1284078 tn?1271587111 My doctor is now going to refer me back to my old renal consultant as they just dont know what to do with me, as you know it is unusual in adults and frankly i think i am probably the only person they have ever seen with it (i live on a small island so thats not that far fetched) What gets me is that i have had a few years without any problems and i guess i got my hopes up that it was finally over. It is nice to know that i am not the only one out there going through this.
Avatar n tn Thanks for responding to my question. My boyfriend stopped by my house on his way home from work and said he hadn't eaten his 2 breakfast cookies (milk bones) but that he did ran downstairs to great him and seemed a lot happier and was outside playing with our two little dogs. Hopefully it was just some tummy trouble. I'll know more when I get home from work. I made an appointment to take him to the vet tomorrow just in case. Keeping my fingers crossed...
Avatar n tn If the endoscopy, including examination of your daughter’s stomach, was clear, it is highly unlikely that her upper intestinal tract is the source of the mucous. A rarely occurring exception, in children and adults, is a condition called Eosinophilic Esophagitis, in which the esophagus can appear grossly normal on endoscopy. This condition is usually accompanied by swallowing difficulty and not just vomiting.
Avatar m tn I am wanting so answers regarding ADD in adults. What are the major symptoms? Does it get more severe with age? My Focus in high school was very difficult.

Avatar f tn I just posted this same response under another topic.....but it fits here, too: I am a 27-year old female who has just had an ICD implanted. It is the best decision I could have ever made. I am no longer experiencing skipped/abnormal beats. I feel so much better having the device, knowing that should my heart decides it wants to skip beats or even stop, I have a safety net.
Avatar n tn I think the kind of worry about blood clots after an injury is more specific to older people (i.e., adults) who have plaque in their arteries, and an accident shakes some of it loose. However, run the question by your doctor.
Avatar m tn In February, the Eighth Joint National Committee released controversial guidelines that relaxed blood pressure goals in adults 60 and older from 140/90 to 150/90. The guidelines also eased blood pressure targets for adults with diabetes and kidney disease. In this study, researchers used blood pressure data collected from more than 16,000 Americans between 2005 and 2010 to assess the impact of the revised guidelines.
Avatar f tn Sorry this is way off of our normal subject, but I was just wondering the signs of lactose intolerance and whether or not you can get this as you get older. I am wondering because I have had abdominal pain for the past about 4 days. And I mean it really hurts. Also my back kind of where my kidneys are. I also get nausea a little and spent this morning vomiting. I went to the doctor and he said I was free of infection, and I am not pregnant so he does not know.
Avatar m tn Why is there such a large deviation or difference of opinion in different doctors on whether or not amblyopia can or cannot be treated in adults? Is it still because studies such as those conducted by McGill University (tetris) are relatively new?
16362296 tn?1447294076 t been able to find much information or support as no one seems to have any understanding of what it is like dealing with. It expresses itself differently than in adults (though in some ways similar). We have been lucky to now have a service dog for him which has changed a lot of his life. Anyone out there going through this with their little one as well?
951090 tn?1253316948 s disease, but I am curious as to why it is typically found in older or elderly adults. I know that as we age our cells change and they can mutate or deteriorate. Since this can happen at any age, I am wondering why dementia disorders are less common in children and young adults. I mean, theorectically, a child could develop Alzheimer's disease, could they not?
Avatar n tn My pharmacy has asked the doctor to issue another prescription after he confirms that I have been informed of the risks for older adults taking Armour Thyroid. I have tried to find "risks" on the internet but can't seem to find anything.
Avatar f tn There is some difference in symptoms in infants and adults. In babies, gut symptoms may develop after weaning onto gluten cereals. Other symptoms include muscle wasting in the arms and legs, a bloated tummy and irritability. Some infants may gradually fail to gain weight, or lose weight after previously growing well. Symptoms in older children vary as they do in adults, and can include poor growth, short stature, anaemia and recurrent mouth ulcers.
Avatar f tn No but It's commonly only in kids 10 and under but young adults and older adults can catch it. It's blister like bumps on the hand feet and mouth. It's starts out with a fever and thenough the bumps will occur.
Avatar f tn Latent Autoimmune Diabetes of Adults is a condition that can happen in people with family histories of Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes.

LADA is often mistaken for type 2 diabetes, mainly in people who are overweight or obese.
