Avatar n tn What you are describing as 'dissociation' may simply be 'blackouts', something fairly common with alcoholism where the person has no recollection of the events while drinking. blackouts can occur with much lower amounts of alcohol than it takes to 'pass out', which is something completely different. Drinking 'fairly heavily' leaves a great deal of 'wiggle room'.
Avatar m tn What is AV dissociation? Is it a type of arrythmia? It is SVT or VT? Is the cardiomyopathy causing AV dissociation or vice-versa? Can the AV dissociation be reversed? If so, what are the options? Please can you clarify my doubts.
15242955 tn?1534438461 I heard of dissociation that is dissociation identity disorder or DID. The modern name for Multiple Personality Disorder or MPD or dissociating. Doing things and forgetting you did them. I see cuts on my body and don't recall how they got there. How much of a possibility I could be dissociating? Does dissociation even exist?
Avatar f tn Anyway I know one symptom is dissociation, and I was wondering what is the difference between dissociation and depersonalization and derealization really? I used to label my feelings as dissociation at certain times because it does feel like I'm an observer, I'm listening to myself talk and know I'm going through all these actions but I'm almost observing it, and this is always triggered by talking about the trauma but also sometimes is not triggered by anything.
Avatar f tn I have been seeing a therapist who does psychoanalysis and when I mentioned it she said that she thought it could possibly be dissociation, but has never really commented on it since. I haven't ever been evaluated by a mental health professional, but my therapist does know I have suffer with other conditions such as social phobia and Body dysmorphic..could these explain anything? Also what other explainations were you thinking of?
Avatar f tn I would like to know if it is common to experience dissociation for a long period of time, up to one year, after starting to introduce the drug into your body. As the dissociation starts to get better or I feel more of my body sensations my head hurts likes hell with pressure, zaps in my head especially with anything I eat drink such as caffiene. When I do my head goes foggy and my body goes even more numb.
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 n tn We discovered that my husband had an episode of Encephalopathy, which is high ammonia in the blood. 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.
Avatar f tn I recently found out I had high ammonia, it was 66, I am taking lactalose and it is is now normal. All my blood work is within normal ranges on my liver function test and I also had a sonogram, have a mild fatty liver. Was wondering what could have caused this. I do drink a few beers a night.
Avatar n tn Patients with liver disease are unable to process or detoxify ammonia so that ammonia levels can reach dangerously high levels. This is coupled by increased ammonia production of colonic bacteria, especially if one is constipated or has an irregular bowel movement. High protein intake can also lead to an incresed ammonia production. I suggest you talk about these possibilities with your doctors.
Avatar n tn Forgetting people, thing, conversations and even our address. We felt after the diagnosis with PNES with dissociation being a part of my diagnosis that my deteriorating memory could just be a feature of my dissociation. But reading this has me concerned, I would like to move on with the diagnosis and get the mental health help I need to treat PNES but I am concerned about this one MRI.
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.
190885 tn?1333025891 I am assuming you have cirrhosis? (I have a list of cirrhotics but I know it doesn't include everyone with cirrhosis here). Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) and brain fog are two different conditions. "Brain fog" has nothing to do with ammonia levels. Most ammonia in the body forms when protein is broken down by bacteria in the intestines. The liver normally converts ammonia into urea, which is then eliminated in urine.
Avatar m tn It sounds like you may have depression. We are not Drs here so none of us can diagnose you. Can you get in to see your Dr soon? Tell him/her how you've been feeling. There is also a possibility of you having sleep apnea. Your Dr can run a sleep test on you to see if this is what's going on.
Avatar n tn Yes it does. High levels of ammonia cause hepatic encephalopathy which in turn can cause confusion, sleepiness and forgetfulness. There are medications to help lower those levels. Speak to your hep doc.
680807 tn?1304496587 Please can some one tell me why does my urine smell like ammonia its so strong i am embarrassed i need pads galore to change for i urine at time some lilte small quantity here and there like when i laugh or get up or move fast??i am diabetic type 2 .i have lots of chronic,s illness ?i told me Doctor and she said it was because i did not drank enough maybe ?But i am drinking a lot and more since i was told that it could the reason that my urine smell like ammonia.
1475202 tn?1536270977 Which is why patients with overt HE are advised to avoid red meats which during digestion create a lot of ammonia. Other sources of serum ammonia are the kidneys and skeletal muscle. Normally, ammonia is metabolized by the liver. When the liver function is impaired, shunting of blood around the liver, and increased muscle wasting all lead to increased serum ammonia levels in cirrhotic patients. But ammonia isn't the only toxin involved in HE.
Avatar f tn sorry i hav no idea on ammonia etc i am wanting to know more now. why do we get ammonia build up?does every1 with hep c hav to get tested regulary?
