The definition is "first 6 months" of infection is considered "acute" after that it is "chronic". 90% of people clear this virus naturally and the remaining become chronic. There are good treatments available. Since you seem to have other health issues, so prepare a list of questions and ask your doctor.

I was dignosed with Conversion Disorder, Post Tramatic Stress Disorder and Acute Anxiety Disorder. I am having stroke like symptoms; my left leg drags, my speach is well..not making light of it I sound like Forrest Gump, my left arm as little to no strength in it, I have migraine headaches on a daily basis, and the newest thing is I started having uncontrolable muscle spasms in my right side.

I have been experiencing a lot of stress and anxiety. Latly my heart has had palpitations, fluttering, rapid like. I wake up and it's racing the last week or so.

ve had symptoms that could fall under acute stress disorder, panic disorder, general anxiety disorder, and depression. Sometimes the symptoms can fit in one catagory and then switch over to a different catagory. For example, in the past I've had frequent panic attacks throughout the day. Overtime, I've found triggers (more trivial than life threatening) for some while others just happen. Majority of the symptoms began after 2 years of profound stress.

Most commonly, acute hepatitis C infection is defined as the 6-month time period following acquisition of hepatitis C virus. The definition of acute hepatitis C is irrespective to whether the patient has clinical signs or symptoms of acute hepatitis. The rationale for choosing 6 months as the time period to define acute infection is based on evidence that most individuals who clear HCV will do so by 6 months. http://hepatitisc.uw.

If true vertigo is part of the symptom complex, the condition is most likely to be associated with some disorder of the peripheral end organ. However, patients with either acute peripheral vestibulopathy or, more commonly, recurrent attacks may experience only a sensation of lightheadedness or floating, or a feeling of "walking on tennis balls." Even if the patient has had hundreds of episodes, it is important to determine whether any of them were associated with spinning vertigo.

Should I be worried or am I just worried for nothing? I lost my sister to a liver disorder and found out my brother has the same disorder. So I am more than a little concerned than others I guess. I have also had an ileostomy 2 yrs ago and so I worry about that since I still have some problems left from that. Is this anything to worry about?

I am wondering what the definition of an acute relapse is.......and how long they last for everyone as I am sure this is completely diferent for us all.

Not sure that really answers your question..but it is my experience...and I am not in a wheelchair. Just VERY EXHAUSTED!

Hello there, According to my school's psychologist, I have Social Anxiety Disorder. I agree on that, but I felt it goes much farther and I think I have several other personality disorders. I believe this based on the symptoms (is this correctly spelled?) that I found.

by definition the tics are involintary and your son cannot control them. But tics can be exacerbated by stress, so that's why it's counterproductive to call attention to them. By the way, I'm assuming your son is not taking stimulant medication to treat ADHD. Such treatments can trigger (not cause) tics, usually in the facial muscles.

These experiences have left me with a sort of post traumatic stress disorder- I am terrified that this new PCP is going to force me to live out my life in severe pain. Being a Christian, I feel guilty for not having more faith in God to endure this pain and I can't commit suicide as this is a sin too. This is torture, both physically and emotionally.

I'm so stressed out , I cry all the time . It really scares me that my baby could be born with some type of disorder . I'm 18 weeks so I haven't had my anatomy scan yet , is this possible ?

My personal definition of a night terror is when you wake up and you are paralyzed. I've had them all of my life but recently they have gotten more frequent and worse. I have had a few when I'm still dreaming and dream that I finally get out of bed but its only a dream and I'm snapped back into the same position. But most of my night terrors consist of waking up and even being able to hear things around smell them everything, I just cannot move.

When I say stress, I mean any sort of stress on the body. This can be any sort of physical stress, emotional stress or mental stress. This can be: a hormonal change (for women, changes during their cycle... or for men, hormonal changes because of medications), it can be physical stresses because of exercise, or it could be not enough sleep or too much sleep.

I am working in Luanda, Angola, a big business capital with many diseases and bacterias. But I made the mistake of researching and HIV virus acute infection. In March 2010 I noticed my left armpit was sore and stayed that way for 2 days with a sense of vision (double and cloudy), malaise and dizziness. After inspecting the armipt by the touch, i did not noticed lumps (i did touch them many times). Even without a lump, is considered lymphonepaty?
