Common Questions and Answers about 5 stages of death theory

death

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.
Avatar f tn I just went in for a transvaginal ultrasound yesterday (11/10) and the tech told me that I was 5 weeks and 5 days. She said she could see the sac and the yolk sac, but no baby yet. She told me this is normal and that the doctor will schedule me for another one in about 1.5 weeks (she did). I am worried and scared to death. I'm 24 and both my husband and I are very excited about having our first child. Please help put my mind at ease. Thank you in advance for any replies.
Avatar f tn why did they put those poor children thru all of this? could you imagen him faking his death? kind of like Elvis was spotted in Michigan.
Avatar m tn 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 ....
Avatar f tn 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?
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.
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..
338416 tn?1420045702 This doctor posits that the death of oligodendrocytes causes the immune system to send in white blood cells to clean up the mess - the immune system isn't the cause, it's a natural process of the body. He thinks that the oligodendrocytes die because of hypoperfusion - not enough oxygen/blood to the tissue. http://www.facebook.
2123020 tn?1335045458 There are 5 levels of Chronic Kidney Disease that doctors use to determine how advanced your kidney disease is. Level 1 and 2 are mild, 3 is medium, 4 is advanced, and 5 is end stage renal disease (needing a transplant).
Avatar f tn Stage 1 is considered a small amount of fibrosis. Stages 2 and 3 is considered a greater amount of fibrosis or scarring meaning the disease has progressed. The more fibrosis the harder it is on the liver to carry out it's functions. As the damage progresses further, many scars can form together, which can lead to stage 4, or cirrhosis.
Avatar n tn I thought there were only 4 stages of liver disease, not 6. Anyone know what the pathology report cirrhosis stage 6/6 might mean? Thank you.
Avatar m tn I am so worried that my past has come to haunt me... I had exposures to sex workers a number of years ago, 5 years, and every contact was always protected. There were 3 ladies where oral sex was involved unprotected, but apart from that everytime it was protected and once was receptive. these were ladies from reputable places but still they were sex workers and they were always careful with condoms and I never seemed to notice if they broke, I think I would've know if that was to happen....
Avatar f tn It has also been shown that both stages have different predictors of death (1). Therefore, it was recently determined, by consensus, that compensated and decompensated cirrhosis should be considered separate disease entities (4).
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.
Avatar f tn What Are The Stages Of Labor .. Do You Just Wake Up One Day With Contractions ? Or Do You Have Pain For About 2 Days Or So ? .. im 37 Weeks & I Dont Feel Nothing , Ill Have Little Pains here & There But I Think Its Because Of Her Being So Low & Kicking .. Because It'll Only Last A second & Its Only When Im In A weird Position.. No Mucus Plug .. No Cramping , Like im Wondering When Things Are Gonna Start Happening & When Should I Stop Working !?
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar n tn My grandma found out at 10 weeks, but she had an amnio... I found out at 15 weeks, but there are some techs that will render a guess earlier with the "nub" theory. However, it is not an exact science by any means. Google "angle of the dangle theory" and you will get some pictures of boys and girls at early stages of development at around 12 weeks, pretty interesting to me.
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 Again my theory is proven to be right. The number 3. Death always seems to come in three's, whether or not you know the person or know of the person. This time it freaked me out a little bit. Normally when these types of things happen it happens over a longer period of time. The last three deaths that have been known of (and mostly high profiled) happened in the exact same week with 2 happening on the same day.
695915 tn?1228665952 This does not mean that they are not effective to some degree but that they can never be as good as treatments that target the death of the oligodendrocytes. All the animal models of multiple sclerosis are poor representations of the disease in that they are all primarily autoimmune models. Perhaps this is why so many treatments that are so effective in mouse models prove to make no difference to multiple sclerosis in humans.
