Avatar f tn Stodghill, left behind to raise their then 2-year-old daughter alone, sued the hospital and its owner, Catholic Health Initiatives, for the wrongful deaths of all three.

Avatar m tn He should talk to a doctor to find out if it's a sign of diabetes or not. I know the artificial sweetener in diet sodas has other issues of its own. It's plausible-sounding that it could be diabetes or maybe some kind of kidney issue.
Avatar f tn We have a seperate forum for Diabetes type 2 and Diabetes prevention. Type 1 Diabetes is a chronic autoimmune disease in which the insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas are destroyed, leading to high glucose levels in the blood and resulting in impaired metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. It's sometimes referred to as insulin dependent diabetes.

Avatar f tn Diabetes is a disease that damages your blood vessels. First and foremost, you need to keep your diabetes under control. When was your last HgbA1C? What were the results? If you are overweight, lose weight. It will help both your diabetes and the erectile dysfunction. Likewise, if you smoke, quit. Nicotine causes your blood vessels to constriction and stay constricted for hours after your smoke a cigarette.
Avatar n tn Either you are about to break into viral fever or you have hypothyroidism, diabetes, VIT B12 deficiency or you have not been eating properly and hence have hypoglycemia attacks. Eat well, drink plenty of fluids and get these disorders tested. Do discuss this with your doctor and get yourself examined. Take care!
Avatar m tn Another reason for getting up a few times to empty the bladder due to diabetes. A blood HbA1C blood test would confirm whether you have diabetes.
Avatar m tn Alot of people think that diabetes is like a death sentence, but I have been living with diabetes for a few years now and I have not gained any more complications than when I was first diagnosed. I eat regularly and following the advice of my diabetes educator with my meds and regular exercise I am doing great.
148588 tn?1465778809 Until recently, though, relatively few of the 60 street medicine programs that operate nationwide have been affiliated with a hospital or health system. As health networks face increasing pressure to rein in costs, that could change. Homeless people use the emergency room more often than the general population, stay longer and are readmitted at higher rates — a triple financial blow that's inflicting "open wounds, bleeding wounds for hospitals," says Dr.
Avatar m tn Parasthesia is due to dysfunctioning of neurons. It can be due to diabetes, hypothyroidism, peripheral vascular disease, vitamin B12 deficiency, neujrological causes or malnutrition. Get your blood sugar and thyroid hormones levels evaluated. You can take some vit B12 for some days and see if the symptoms improve. If the symptoms persist then get the above mentioned possibilities ruled out from a neurologist.
Avatar n tn So, why does CDC allow these State health initiatives, of which they hold the purse strings, to offer such divergent information? The MD and VA stats of 90 percent by 3 months scared me, and I think it’s doing the public a horrendous disserve to quote these numbers. I understand the legal need to be conservative, but isn’t this just a lie? Am I right that the scientific consensus is 95% by 6 weeks and 98% by 8 weeks?
Avatar f tn I would suggest you seek a so-called wound-care center or wound-care specialist. You can find one by contacting a specialist in diabetes. As soon as possible. Do not get "put off". There is a likelihood that you may require hospitalization and intravenous medications. You are a candidate for an emergency room in a teaching hospital.
Avatar n tn Hi, He should see a physician. It may be a problem with the blood circulatory system or neurology related. Diabetes also can lead to such symptoms.
Avatar n tn They can be seen in peripheral neuropathies of diabetes, in hyperthyroidism, parasomnia, multiple sclerosis, TIAs or transient ischemic attacks or mini strokes, hypoglycemia, disorders of calcium metabolism, hyperparathyroidism etc. Certain epilepsies too could be the cause. Consult an internal medicine specialist or your PCP. A comprehensive investigation is required keeping all the points in mind.
Avatar f tn to addicts to prevent the spread of disease. There is one site in B.C. that provides public health nurses to assist with injecting safely and is admittedly very controversial. The funding for these come largely from the province (this is Canada, so the equivalent of a state government in the U.S.) This approach is very controversial of course. It's seen by some as perpetuating the problem rather than addressing it.
Avatar f tn Get yourself investigated for anemia, hypothyroidism and diabetes and if you are overweight, start an exercise regimen you can stick to. PCOS is another condition which can cause similar symptoms. If all these are normal, then possibility of anxiety and depression will need to be looked at. Hope this helps. I think you should discuss these possibilities with your doctor. It is difficult to comment beyond this without examining.
Avatar n tn Hi, He has to defenitely see a doctor, losing 29 pounds with out any specific reason implies some serious health issue, possibly diabetes, or may be some other disease.

Avatar f tn Now recently (2 yrs ago) I have been diagnosed as hypothyroid and have increased my Synthroid does from 88mcg to 125mcg over that time. I was diagnosed at Type 2 diabetes (A1C at 7) about 6 weeks ago. Have issues with high cholesterol and elevated liver enzymes. I was referred to a new Gastroenterologist about a month ago, which ended up with more bloodwork, an abdominal ultrasound and an EGD/Colonoscopy.
