Avatar f tn its actions, like begging for food, waving, looking out the window, etc. He purchases clothes for his monkeys. He expects me to interact with it, too, and even take it to bed (not in a sexual way). He gets after me if I hurt its feelings (by ignoring it). He sleeps with several stuffed monkeys every night. Other than this, he is pretty normal. He lives alone, works hard, is intelligent. He's had some tough times in life with the loss of family members including parents.
Avatar n tn oh I forgot to mention - the safety issue- we had k-2 go to toilet in one bathroom and older ones were not allowed- they went to another toilet- but without putting fears in your mind- that would be a concern- even at a very small school we had older ones going to restroom in an altogether separate room down the hallway- these older boys knew they were not allowed in the smaller boys' restroom- now as a group- all children were to have teacher monitors at group restroom times stand in the ha
Avatar f tn Hi There, The fact of the matter is that eating disorders are very common in older women and I think that the reason that it is not a well known fact is simply because as older women this is something that we hide pretty well. I am 38 "Soon to be 39" and I also have an eating disorder. I flip flop between bulimia and just not eating at all. I am 5'0" and I weigh about 113. I have a medium frame and I work out like a demon. I both love and hate food.

Avatar m tn I read that there were cases where people(infants) got infected through prechew food. Is this applicable to adults too? The fact that the mouth freshner pack didn't have any seal on it and if it got tampered with prechew food, would it be infectious? I just want to get to the bottom of this episode and I believe I can only do this by really understanding how HIV is really transmitted. Thank you.

Avatar n tn He is probably on medicare, so speak to the department of social services, we use the Services to People with Disabilities here in my state. We have many possibilities here also for the older DS, A day care unit, nursing homes and residential facilities. Are there no group homes in your area?

Avatar m tn html The CDC recommends the vaccine for young adults. And the side effects are mild if you experience them at all. Again, side effects are very mild for the majority.

We wish you the best.

Avatar f tn - Children and teens need 10 times more than the recommended dose of vitamin D, a clinical trial suggests.

Avatar f tn This is not a huge cause for concern, missing laterals is common. In the short term, these teeth can be bonded or veneered to look like adult teeth. Later, when her jaw stops growing, these teeth can be permanently replaced with implants. Some adults do keep their primary teeth if missing the permanents, but this is usually in the back molars because no one sees them and their roots are stronger.

Healed means a person now has villi that can absorb nutrients from food into the bloodstream. In order to stay well, people with celiac disease must avoid gluten for the rest of their lives. Eating any gluten, no matter how small an amount, can damage the small intestine.
