Do you have any compassion for the TB man? Do you think he will survive?
Answer:
Actually, the news report I heard yesterday said he wasn't even symptomatic. So its possible that he is a carrier...that does happen with TB. As to whether I feel compassion for him, for me, the jury is out. His story and the CDC's story are entirely different. If what HE said is true and that he was never fully informed of the severity of his illness before he started traveling, then yes, I can sympathize with him. Once he did find out, he says he panicked...which I can totally understand. If I were that sick I would want to get back to the US for treatment. I don't believe I would have done it the way he did, but I can at least understand the feelings.However if the CDC's side of the story is true and the guy DID understand the severity of his illness and knowingly put others at risk, then no, I don't have any compassion for him. He was selfish, at the very least.
i'm sorry he's got tb but i don't feel bad for him. he'll survive. he needs to be responsible for the medical bills incurred by the people he may have infected.
I think he will survive. Even his wife is not positive for TB. He probably did not know how serious the situation was,remember he was getting married and probably that was all he was thinking about.
No, I don't. He's very selfish,self-centered,negligen... He's exactly where he should be until they can find a treatment for his resistant form of TB. Just like that guy a few months ago who was quarantined because he refused to wear a face mask. I mean, come on! Stupid, stupid, stupid guy.
sadly i do not think he is going to survive. as for compassion, i do feel badly for him, yet at the same time i think he was being selfish for not going into solitary confinement when he was told to. he put so many people at risk.
We'll find out in the next 16 days. The strain of TB he has will either kill him VERY quickly (16 days TOPS), or he'll heal VERY slowly. He is quarentined because the type he has does not respond to ANY drugs. It's all up to his body now.
I feel sorry that he is so ill and I hope he recovers. However, new information has come out that he knew that he had TB and had been warned by a doctor that he could pass it on. He inquired if it would be alright to travel if he wore a mask. No one knows yet if the doctor gave him the ok, or if in fact, he wore a mask. TB is so contagious that it would seem outrageous for a doctor to give him approval to fly on an airplane and risk infecting hundreds of other passengers. It has been shown from cases in the past that one passenger with a communicable illness can cause many other passengers to become ill. If this man consciously flew knowing the extent of his illness I think he should be penalized for spreading the illness. There have been cases where people who knowingly infected other people with AIDS were prosecuted. Why should this case be any different? We just have to wait to hear the facts because at this time, the information is sketchy.
I am totally amazed at the responses here.
Talk about politically correct insanity.
If we were talking about an HIV/AIDs sufferer they would be screaming homophobia. But we are talking TB so now all of a sudden a contagious disease with initials is not okay?
Contagious diseases are all over the U.S. and the world, most are preventable. Many people are carriers yet when say its okay for one disease to run rampant and we can't test those people, something is very wrong with the PC picture.
Yes, he probably will survive but I don't have any compassion for him, he's a selfish idiot who should have known better, he's a lawyer not some uneducated labourer who didn't understand the consequences of his actions.
No Compassion, but this incident demonstrates, that there is a great need for preventive healthcare for all, including low income, legal and illeagal immigrants. You never know, who sits next to you at the movies, do you???
Do you have anemia?
If so, please state which kind of anemia it is and the cause of it and the symptoms. You can also include the treatment if you want. Thank you.
Answer:
I have iron-deficiency anemia. I have had it since I was a teenager and the symptoms include fatigue, weakness, paleness of the inner eyelids and hands. I also crave ice, salt, and have even craved paint when it got really bad. I am supposed to take precription iron however the side effects are horrible. the iron is very harsh on my stomach so I control mine through diet and rest. When it is not enough I use the iron reluctantly. Hope this was enough information.
no

My physician noticed a drop in my hemoglobin and sent me to a hematologist who confirmed it and prescribed an iron compound. Then I was sent to a gastroenterologist who discovered I had an erosive esophagus and when that cleared up, my "anemia" disappeared.
No. I'm sorry you or someone you know does.
i dont have anemia. y do u ask?
I have autoimmune hemolytic anemia. Only 4 out of 100,000 have this type of anemia. There is no known cause for this type of anemia. I was on prednisone for over 2 years, during that time I have a chemo treatment of retuxa but it didn't help me. I is helpful to some but not all. I finally had my spleen removed and for the last 19 months I have had no problems with the anemia. Some people with autoimmune hemolytic anemia may have no symptoms, especially when the destruction of red blood cells is mild and develops gradually. Others have symptoms similar to those that occur with other types of anemia, especially when the destruction is more severe or rapid. When severe or rapid destruction of red blood cells occurs, mild jaundice may also develop. When destruction persists for a few months or longer, the spleen may enlarge, resulting in a sense of abdominal fullness and, occasionally, discomfort.When the cause of autoimmune hemolytic anemia is another disease, symptoms of the underlying disease, such as swollen and tender lymph nodes and fever, may dominate.

Do you have a wheat allergy?
I just found out I might be allergic to wheat!! OMG what will I eat? How do you manage and what kind of things should I get used too? Thanks!
Answer:
I used to be allergic to wheat and gluten for 11 years (but then got healed from it a few weeks ago wooooo!).It's not bad once you get used to it. Do you think you are also allergic to gluten? If so, you will have to watch out for more stuff. Generally, look out for cereals, some processed meats have wheat, wheat starch or wheat gluten in, sauces may use flour as a thickener, cakes, biscuits, bread, pasta, pizza etc. But nowadays main supermarkets have fantastic ranges of allergy food, which often tastes nice. Also, you should be able to get things on prescription, I always preferred prescription bread rather than what you could buy in the shops. You can buy nice cakes and biscuits, and also they are lovely to make when you find a flour you like. The main issue is eating out, but as long as you're prepared, you'll be fine. Some restaurants have gluten free menus (though not many), but if you tell the staff in advance or when you get there they may be quite accommodating. Hope this is helpful!
i have a wheat allergy. basically theres not much you can eat. you get use to it after a while. its stuff like fruit and vegetables and rice, but always read the ingrediants before you buy something

Do you guys really not know why there is an increase in autism and type 1 diabetes, and type 2?
What else has risen in the past 25 years, that isn't a disease?
Answer:
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmunity issue and its not related to lifestyle. I wouldn't be suprised if it is linked with autism however considering I have a child with both. Our family history is all Type 2 diabetes, my child is the first to be Type 1. I seem to see more and more kids with Autism though that have secondary health concerns like diabetes, allergies, etc. Perhaps Autism itself is the result of an autoimmune response. I don't think there is enough evidence in any direction to say what the root cause of Autism is or how it is related to other disorders. I wish there were because I would be first in line to hear the news.
There also is not enough evidence to support the rationale that the increase in autism statistics is only due to increased diagnosics. There IS however evidence showing that there is a genetic predisposition to Autism with and Environmental trigger. I happen to believe it is on the rise. I have two children with the disorder. NO ONE else in either of my or my husbands family has autism.
Lots of things have, but I think in north america our "food" culture is so messed up that we are causing ourselves problems like diabetes.
You are what you eat. When woman are pregnant the should be carefully what they eat, drink or smoking and or do drugs. The Baby might not have health problems directly but later in life. Also you should watch what you eat at all times, eat fresh foods. Try ti minimize fried foods, sugar and carbs.
There isn't an increase in autism. Just in diagnosed autism.The reason for more Type 1 diabetes is devolution.The reason for more Type 2 diabetes is poor lifestyle.
Well, if that theory were true, then all those in biblical times would have been autistic, and the majority of the hundreds of parents I know who are in their 20's wouldn't have autistic kids. The numbers are rising due to more and more toxins in the environment and in our foods, and in vaccines. Paternal age is one of the most ridiculous theories I've heard yet.

Do you get more tired after you had fibrous tumors removed?
Answer:
Not enough information posted.Have you had this done recently? If so, yes! It will take your body approximately six months to totally recuperate from the surgery. Anesthesia and surgery make an impact on all systems in your body and though the worst of anesthesia passes on 24 to 48 hours and the pain of surgery passes in a week or less, the impact to the systems of the body takes longer. Tiredness is a result of your body rebuilding and recuperating.If it has been more than 6 months, I suggest you see your doctor for a complete physical as you may have something new going on.
