Avatar n tn I read that vinyl shower curtains can be carginogenic and cause headaches/upset stomach. How much does one have to worry about a vinyl shower curtain? Should they just be aired out?
Avatar f tn You could let your son sleep in a different bed room for 2-3 days and then again make him sleep in the bedroom with vinyl shades. This will give him time to recover if the vomiting is due to something he ate at night and also if the vomiting is due to the shades. Then if again gets the symptoms, then probably he is allergic to vinyl and you will need to remove the shades from his room. You should also consult his doctor and get an allergy test to confirm whether he is allergic to vinyl or not.

Avatar m tn What can cause a ammonia smell in sweat and colon? and raw skin lines on each side of the scrotum between the inner thighs and pus bumps.
Avatar f tn Half way through the test, The instructor stopped me in the middle of my answer and made me remove my gloves, wash my hands, and sit down. She then proceeded to instruct me in the reasons not to ignore the symptoms of am allergy. She stated that while I was taking the test, she was watching my hands grow redder and swell inside the gloves. I had just not noticed. When I moved, the floor in the new house made my feet swell, and the bottoms were bright pink.
Avatar m tn What can cause a ammonia smell in sweat and Colin? the girl had the same smell.
Avatar f tn Nylon was available and worked, but it shattered too rapidly. Finally vinyl was used for the denture and works wonderfully. The only lab working with vinyl that we could find was in California.
Avatar f tn Sadly my little marmalade (my cat) got out when we moved out of state and never came home. She was a doll when I was preggo and being pregnant again I miss her :-( Anyway sorry I'm a chatterbox. Hope hubby gets used to his new duties so you don't have to worry about it.
Avatar n tn The hives and welts kept coming and were getting worse. I started to see an allergist and had the skin and patch testing done. It did prove that I was allergic to dust, pollen, molds etc, dogs and cats. I have lived with dogs and cats my whole life and when I am around them I do not break out. I did begin to notice that if I carried a plastic grocerry around my wrist I would develop a rash which would turn into welts. I tried antihistamines and they did not solve the problem.
Avatar m tn My liver disease also caused my serum sodium level to drop off (a condition known as Hyponatremia) and a low sodium level can produce a dementia similar to high ammonia levels but is more difficult to treat (at least in my experience).
Avatar m tn Well it looks to be the fiber backing to the vinyl floor to be asbestos and we pulled it up dry. We were only wearing those cheap N95 dust masks. The day after doing this my sinus, tongue, mouth, and throat were all burning. After a few days of feeling like this my throat began to ache and my voice became hoarse. This has made me feel quite anxious and depressed knowing I exposed myself like this and if I'm going to get a disease or not.
Avatar f tn I have undergone several tests as per my health checkup, and Physician has confirmed nothing seriously wrong, and advised me not to worry and continue to remain sober However, because of my minor symptoms and the ammonia level, and information on the web worries me for encephalopathy.Could you help me in: -If Encephalopathy is suspected, then also suspect is associated cirrhosis, and portal hypertension? But USG says No portal hypertension. -What could be the reason of high ammonia?
1008841 tn?1293598960 that is to say, some patients who have hepatic encephalopathy (HE, or confusion due to liver dysfunction) do not have elevated ammonia levels, and sometimes ammonia levels can be elevated without apparent HE -- docs usually use the guidelines Hector provided above to diagnose HE as opposed to just declaring it based on ammonia levels. Flowerchild: you can calculate your own MELD score if you have a copy of your lab reports from bloodwork by using this site: http://www.mayoclinic.
Avatar n tn But by the time we had his blood checked his levels were right smack in the middle of the range. Doctor said he was fine. So my question is can this ammonia gone untreated continue to rise and lower on its own. Because he has days that he seems fine and then days when he is not with me completely. He does not eat much as his taste buds are totally out of wack. Most foods taste very salty.And of course he does sleep alot.
Avatar f tn I'm 6 weeks pregnant and I work in a paint department. I mix colors and clean up paint pretty much. Since I've worked there we have always used glass cleaner to clean the paint off the desk and our hands. I didnt know this until today but the cleaner we use has ammonia in it. I've been using it every day for a few months to get the paint off of my hands. Could it have hurt my baby?
Avatar f tn The first time they found the problem he lost 30 pounds and it went away well he has since gained that back and a little more and the fatty liver popped back up so now he has to go on a diet again although he does not drink the dr told him not to drink at all it could be very harmful because of the state his liver is in now.
Avatar f tn I copied and pasted this info from WebMD. IUn used "urine and ammonia" in the search field. Within the article was a subsection dealing with smell. Here it is. I hope it helps: Odor Changes Urine normally doesn't have a very strong smell. If you get a whiff of something particularly pungent, you could have an infection or urinary stones, which can create an ammonia-like odor. Diabetics might notice that their urine smells sweet, because of excess sugar.
Avatar m tn If you have decompensated cirrhosis, with elevated ammonia levels and hepatic encephalopathy I have see many patients say they have been prescribed Lactulose http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/meds/a682338.html But you definitely need to have this conversation with your liver specialist .
Avatar n tn I smell ammonia. No one else can smell it. This happens off and on and in many different locations. I have read that this happens to people after a weight training session but I don't work out. It has happened when I was just sitting reading a book. I have seen my GP secondary to ill feeling for a year. The only abnormal labs are slightly elevated sed rate and slightly elevated WBC. I have muscle pain and weakness and extreme fatigue. My Doctor says he has no idea what is wrong with me.
996946 tn?1503249112 LOL, I know, I thought of that too. I don't even like the leather. It was my husband's idea. And it was very expensive, and its not that old. And he's not that fond of the cats in the first place. Masy have to go shopping for a new hubby and new furniture, just kidding.
190885 tn?1333025891 Take enough lactulose to have 3-4 bowel movements per day and your ammonia level will drop and you will feel better. Normal is 15-60 mcg/dL. It usually that a day or a couple of days for the ammonia levels to drop. I am not sure of your health status. High ammonia levels can also be caused by... *Reye syndrome. *Heart failure. *Kidney failure. *Severe bleeding from the stomach or intestines. Good luck!
Avatar m tn Ammonia odor can be associated with H. pylori. Ammonia can also be associated with urine and fecal material and not due to H. pylori.
