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 m tn To help ease this journey, you may want to Google the 5 stages of grief so you will know that all your feelings are normal. Take care of yourself during this difficult time. See your doctor when you can and may the winds of peace enter your heart.
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 have the exact same thing, when my grandad died when he fell off a ladder and had severe bleeding in the brain, I had bad anxiety but go over it and then my other grandad had a heart attack about 4 months ago in the middle of uni exams and the fear of death has not escaped me ever since. I think about how much life I would miss out on if I died today, think about my mates and family and the emotional toll it would have.
Avatar f tn Synergy - A whole series of muscles are recruited when just a few are needed. Trying to reach forward, The arm wings outward, the shoulder lifts, the wrist curls down. Lots of this is from spasticity 1. Flaccidity (immediately after the onset) No "voluntary" movements on the affected side can be initiated 2. Spasticity appears Basic synergy patterns appear Minimal voluntary movements may be present 3. Patient gains voluntary control over synergies Increase in spasticity 4.
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.

Avatar f tn for too long until it piles up, and, if not taken care of, messes up the rest of the flow. Therapy is a way to pick through that mess and get everything moving again. And that is exactly what you are doing. Good work. Keep going.
Avatar m tn The extent and prognostic significance of radiograph abnormalities is the basis for conventional Staging of Disease (stages 0-IV). These stages do not correspond to the chronologic progression of disease, but do correlate with likelihood of future radiographic and symptomatic disease resolution. To some extent, these stages serve as the basis for decisions regarding therapy, steroid and other. Your pulmonary specialist would be most familiar with this staging.
Avatar f tn As to your longevity, a liver biopsy is the best gauge as to the amount of fibrosis that has developed to date. At later stages of the disease, the MELD score can offer a glimpse as to morbidity/mortality. Have you thought about getting clean and sober?
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....
