Avatar f tn I read a comment that said there are risk factors that may play a role in one having MS and that a prior infectious trigger is one. I've ALWAYS been a magnet for UNUSAL diseases. scarlet fever, immuno-thrombocytopenia , chicken pox (2x). Could any of these have led to RRMS? Thanks for any light on this.
Avatar f tn I was just wondering what some of the causes were and if you perhaps were told of risk factors that could lead to not carrying to full term. I am sorry for your loss if you have experienced it, I know very well what a shock and emptiness it can leave and it changes you forever. Hope you can give advice so many women can be more informed.
Avatar n tn the chance your partner had HIV and the statistical likelihood of transmission based on the details of the sexual exposure. It is estimated that about 1% of the Dominican Republic population is HIV positive, which is substantially higher than in the US as a whole, but not much different than among African Americans in the US. The overall HIV/AIDS rate in DR is not as high as in the Bahamas or Haiti, and not nearly as high as in sub-Saharan Africa.

Avatar n tn I am afraid that I have developed osteoarthritis in my hands, esp. in the thumb joint. I experience pain up to 5 on 1/10 scale, but not swelling. After I ride my bike my hands hurt for several days, maybe the handlebar is too big around. The symptoms developed shortly after I broke my wrist (Collies fracture) two years ago. I realize that if I have this problem it isn't going away. How do I keep the damage to a miminim? I use Ibuprofen for pain with fair results.
Avatar n tn After having a surgery to fix on particular problem that left me with a whole different problem I went to three other osteo docs. They all advised me to have hip replacement due to osteoarthritis, but I didn't want to do that without trying every other avenue. I recently had a 'live blood analysis' and discovered a tiny organism called 'mycoplasma arthritides' was responsible for my problem. I was told that a trauma like my surgery couild have triggered the organism.
Avatar f tn I have lots of things wrong but I have recently found out about three other women my age in my area that have been diagnosed with Osteoarthritis. I am 33 and live in North Georgia almost on the Tennessse Line. Lyme is in TN but not GA. Whatever. My question is can Lyme disease cause or mimick Osteoarthritis. NOne of the women that have been diagnosed with this including myself have ever worked in a laborous job.
Avatar n tn Why is it that I can not get an orthopedic surgeon to recommend re-attachment of the torn long tendon of my right becep just because I am 61 years old? They said it would be considered cosmetic surgery at my age. Why is it that at my age it doesn't matter to them whether I still need the strength and pain relief that surgery could bring? They all say that if I were in my twenties, then they would recommend doing the surgery.
1175033 tn?1492201228 I went to Shriners hospital when I was 13ish, and one of the doctors there told me that I could need hip replacements by the age of 35. I didnt want to believe him, but now I starting to realize why he said that. I also have noticed reoccurring pains in alot of my joints along with stiffness and muscle spasms. I also have weird bone growths, on my ankle, heel, toe joints, finger joints, Im too young for all this. My sed rate always comes back normal.
Avatar f tn I am 67, have been diagnosed with multi-focal LCIS with a sister who has infiltrating ductile carcinoma estrogen and progesterone receptor positive. Does my age increase or decrease my risk factor for developing invasive breast cancer?
Avatar f tn These factors include exclusion of subjects older than 65 years of age in several clinical trials, reluctance to treat HCV infection in the elderly because of fear of dealing with more HCV therapy-related adverse effects, comorbidities and risk factors of aging such as decreased glomerular filtration rate that might cause more severe hemolytic anemia with ribavirin, and interactions of interferon and ribavirin with several potential geriatric drugs.
Avatar m tn for people younger than 65 years with no risk factors the untreated annual risk of stroke is about 1%, whereas with one or more risk factors it is about 5%; for people aged 65-75 years with no risk factors the annual risk of stroke is about 4%, and with one or more risk factors it is about 6% per year; and for people older than 75 years with no risk factors the risk of stroke is about 3%-4%, whereas with one or more risk factors it is about 8% (see Box 2) (E1).7,26 from http://www.mja.com.

Avatar m tn My grandfather is now at an age of 75. When he reached his 50's suffered from Arthritis. He has been getting treated since then but still he has not been recovered though this can't be cured but its true that it can be controlled up to some extend. So, anyone can please recommend how arthritis could be treated so that it works for such old ones. As his body is so weak that doctor's have been saying his body can't take any operations as of now.
Avatar f tn Treatments should always be chosen based on your symptoms, your disease state (for instance, the degree of stenosis in your spine), your age, comorbidities, and other factors. Decisions for treatments that involve high risk should be made by measuring risk against benefit. Doctors do this -- in their heads without consulting with their patient's desires all too often these days.
Avatar m tn m now almost to my 9th month in pregnancy and doing great! as you pass the age 30, the risk factors do go up slightly for downs syndrome and other chromosomal diseases. but zillions of women over 30 have totally healthy babies!! i just turned 31 and have a healthy baby and was blessed that it only took 3 months to conceive. they say once you reach 30, it's slightly harder to get pregnant, but i think most of the difficulty and risks are for women over 35...
Avatar f tn With her present condition and history of asthma, thyroid issues as well as osteoarthritis, benefits of taking the injection may outweigh the risks. Erythropoietin is usually indicated for treatment of anemia due to Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) in patients on dialysis and not on dialysis. Possible side effects include hypertension, arthralgia, muscle spasm, dizziness, and even upper respiratory tract infection. It is best that you talk to her doctor for proper management.
