Avatar m tn Oxidative damage also contributes to steatosis (fat buildup in the liver), fibrosis, and liver cancer.

Avatar f tn The other day I found out exactly how much he masterbates on top of our sex life. He swears it is a stress reliever and habit formed as a teenager (20 some years ago). How much is to much for a male masterbating? Twice a week? Twice a day? Better yet, would twice a day be considered chronic? I at this point am extremely upset.

Avatar n tn We live in a global society which makes it almost impossible to escape chronic stress-overload. It is the hypersensitive/hyperreactive individuals with, as Gabor Mate (Canadian M.D. and author) puts it, "emotional allergies", who are living out the roles of the canaries in this mine that is our world. A still-greater commitment in the medical community to awareness, education, and further research on the connection between emotional and physical health is crucial.

Avatar m tn Before I went for the massages and the colon hydrotherapy, I experienced chronic fatigue, and after I did these procedures, my fatigue went away, and I have more energy now.

I feel one by each under arm near the breast area But I don't have chronic fatigue any more.
721804 tn?1230618567 I have had my heart extensively studied (echo, EKGs, stress test, doppler) and nothing cardiovascular has been found to cause this problem. Rheumatoid factor series tests and thyroid tests also came back completely normal. The pain had started in my palm, but has expanded throughout my hand and now lasts several hours. I have also started experiencing pain in my sacrum and left foot. I am so frustrated because no one can seem to find the cause of my problem, and I am in more pain each day.
1453933 tn?1285260910 While some amount of stress in unavoidable in our lives, trying to minimize chronic stress can really help out with a lot of health issues. Try hard to set aside a few minutes each day to do something that truly relaxes you; reading, hot bath, meditating etc. I like to sing at the top of my voice :-) Sounds trivial, but it might be the best thing you can do!! Good luck to you!!
Avatar f tn s wish was for me to take care of my grandfather and its breaking my heart that he is now also dying of (TWO, 2!) different types of cancer. My uncle: also dying of cancer. Having to deal with a great man, slowly forgetting, having conversations over and over and trying not to notice. Drinking 2-3 glasses of scotch to sleep for 5 hours each night otherwise i simply will not sleep for days. Medication suggestions?
771665 tn?1235155092 ) Can the deregulation of the HPA response and chronic stress from severe childhood PTSD and repeatedly activating the HPA response but never recovering from the ‘fight or flight’, force an imbalance or impotency of the body’s natural hormone Cortisol? I also read that although Cortisol is used in ever cell of the body, the majority of the cortisol is stored in the omentum, (where the body draws from fat to create energy in an acute stressed state).
2059648 tn?1439766665 I assume you are speaking of liver cancer (HCC) which can develop out of cirrhosis caused by hepatitis C and other condition that cause cirrhosis? By support do you mean peer support groups or medical support? Hepatitis C and HCC are two entirely different medical condition. One is a virus the other a form of cancer. They have different affects on the body, cause different symptoms and have different prognosis. No one has ever died of hepatitis C itself.
Avatar f tn //www.heart.org/en/news/2020/02/04/chronic-stress-can-cause-heart-trouble While you don't have high blood pressure now, enough stress over time can lead to it. That can lead to heart attack. Also, when stressed, we sometimes don't take great care of ourselves. We may eat 'bad' food, we may not exercise, we don't sleep. all of this can play a role. Best to control the anxiety.
Avatar f tn I am a 21 yr old female suffering from chronic nausea for 3 years now. The first 2 years, it only occurred a few times a month and so I wrote it off as stress. Then in June 2008, I began to feel nauseous constantly. I’ve never thrown up, I’m just nauseous with loss of appetite and weight secondary to the nausea (I’m 5’7’’ and I dropped down to 107 that June, when I typically weight 125).
Avatar n tn I am 36 years old and have had a couple of years of pain that has not been diagnosed. I have had 3 kidney stones, all of which I have had to have lithotripsy.

1831849 tn?1383228392 I am facing treatment for a whole different cancer after this treatment for stage III ovarian and my out of pocket expenses are now past $10,000 from UNC alone. If stress affected MS I would be bad shape right now. My cancer is even doing well with all this stress. Go figure?
Avatar f tn I'm about to be 24 and I'm pregnant with my second child. The father of my first child passed away from cancer. I've been with the father of my 2nd child for 3 years. He's about to be 26. This is his first child. We have always talked about getting pregnant and he always seemed excited but when I told him I was he was the complete opposite. He doesn't show interest in my pregnancy or the baby. He shows more interest in dating new girls and his new car he just purchased.
