976897 tn?1379167602 I have been watching a documentry presented by an anaesthetist, regarding lowering body temperature during surgery. It all came about when a woman Doctor in Norway was skiing and fell through some cracked ice, trapping herself in frozen water. It was several hours before she got to the hospital and was actually considered dead because of her pupils and having no brain activity. They put her onto a bypass machine which gradually warmed her blood and her heart actually started beating again.
Avatar f tn Depression results because of the extreme loss someone feels and is absolutely normal process of grieving. Google the steps of grieving and allow the person you are trying to help lead the way. This is a process that cannot be interrupted and it has to play out. If depression levels are dangerous to the point of loss of health, persuade them to go to a doc for medication to balance them out a little. Other than that, just be there.
1322157 tn?1279656681 It is like a death - the death of your 'normal' life. And then you go through all the stages or mourning: Denial - this can't be my life, there has to be a cure Anger - Why me??!! (or you have anger towards the doctor, the person driving the car who hit you, etc...) Bargaining - I will do ANYTHING to make it better and the pain go away! Depression - Because you realize this is now your life and there is nothing to fix it.

Avatar m tn So far from day 1 through day 18, I have started off with fatigue and loss of appetite which then added on to mild fever ranging in the 99.2 to 99.8. Then maybe for the last week of the 18 days so far I have had headaches. My appetite has come back and my fever has finally come down a couple days ago but I still have fatigue and headaches. Am I at risk for Herpes? I have been very paranoid and do not know the intensity of the tingling, itching, redness, sensitiveness, etc...
Avatar f tn No. We wouldn't go through 48 or more weeks of misery to get rid of the virus if it make the liver worse.
Avatar m tn yes dont worry this is just one of the stages your body goes through as you get older, theres nothing to worry about :)
547368 tn?1440541785 s girl and looked after him the last 15 years. The last almost eight years my dad lived with us after the death of his second wife. He was diagnosed with end stage lung disease in December of 08. As his health declined I was his caregiver. I have been a nurse for most of my life. He did not want to go to a nursing home or a hospital. He wanted to die in my home, which after all those years became his home too. I honored his wishes. He died with me at his side and holding on to him.
Avatar n tn Are there stages to xanax withdrawal? I'm two weeks off taking xanax and still feel awful. The anxiety isn't so bad but the physical aspects of the withdrawal are terrible; heavy headed, pre-syncope, tingling, numbness, narrowed vision, surreal feelings, etc. I could have saved myself years of torment if the doctors I'd seen had only recognized that I was experiencing withdrawal while taking the xanax itself.
1688492 tn?1346364370 breast changes are one of the earlier signs of pregnancy... and yes mine go through stages as well... right now they are sore :( and as far as colostrum goes its best not to express it as that can stimulate it more and you dont want to deal with leaky boobs this early ;) but if by chance they do start to its best to have breast pads on hand just incase... some woman can leak quite a bit before delivery....

I'm losing my mind all I can do is cry.
Avatar f tn We got a second opinion in the U.S. and the doctor said the same thing. After the kidney removal, the pathology showed no cancer. We were happy but very concerned. He was told by both doctors that it was cancer. My husband, who was very active and strong is now very weak, not himself and the worse part is, psychologically is not well. He wakes up every day thinking that he lost a kidney just like that. He has his ups and downs. I want to know if there is a special care needed now.
Avatar f tn do they do it before they wade into the deep end of the pool or catch themselves in time in the kiddie section? Most of us didnt realize we had a bad problem or try to quit til we were drowning in the deep end though..
976897 tn?1379167602 Out of body experiences or awareness when close to death has been contributed to low oxygen levels and tricks of the mind. In all those cases, the brain has had activity. In this case, and others like it, there is no activity and so how could the patients hear and see? The surgeons were certainly spooked by her detailed descriptions and it certainly does make you think.. It certainly proves that the consciousness is not in the brain, if that's what you call it.
965641 tn?1274534320 The body is the house for the soul. Once the house falls apart and can no longer house the soul, it is waste and goes back to the earth. When Jesus was on the cross in between the two thieves, one of them mocked him and told him that if he truly were the son of god, then he would get himself off that cross. The one on the other side said Lord think of me when you get there. Jesus turned and looked at him and said, today, you will be with me in paradise.
