Autoimmune Diseases

Trichotillomania Trichotillomania (TTM) is an impulse disorder that causes people to pull out the hair from their scalp, eyelashes, eyebrows, or other parts of the body, resulting in noticeable bald patches. It is currently defined as an impulse-control disorder, but there are still questions about how it should be classified. It may seem, at times, to resemble a habit, an addiction, a tic disorder or an obsessive-compulsive disorder. It is estimated to affect one to two percent of the population, or four to eleven million Americans.

No. It is a symptom of syphilis, however. Go to a doctor.

Yes, but it will be the prostrate cancer that causes the fatality. Crohns by itself is rarely fatal but poor nutrition and treatment options for Crohns can weaken the immune system.

This leaves patients with other underlying medical problems susceptible to those other problems.

almost always, at least according to doctors and science

Yes bleach kills the hiv viris out of the body,do not drink it.

If I'm not mistaken, I think you mean Raynaud's Disease. Raynaud's is a disorder of the blood vessels that usually occurs in the fingers or toes. The blood vessels narrow, preventing blood from getting to the skins surface, causing the affected areas to turn white or blue. Once the blood flow returns, it causes redness and throbbing or tingling. In severe cases, this can lead to sores or tissue death.

Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis have similar symptoms, but are different in the manner in which they affect the digestive tract. Each disease also has different treatments. With colitis only the large intestine (colon) and rectum are inflamed. With Crohns, any part of the digestive system can be affected

The determination of a disease is the influence of Galen. This is what determines what it is.

The symptoms can be similar. The tests done however would confirm which disease the doctors were dealing with. H Pylori is distinctive as a corkscrew shaped gram negative bacterium. Biopsy from the stomach lining is used among other tests.

Treatment in some cases can be somewhat similar with the use of metronidazole and other antibiotics. It can take several treatments but unlike crohns disease, h. pylori is curable.

The immune system.

Hiv orginated from Africa when hunters became infected with blood from rare subspecies of chimpanzees. The first know case of hiv was reported in 1959 from a man in the Congo republic.

Their immune system becomes inoperative. They become easy targets for such infections.

A temporary inflammation of the nerves, causing pain, weakness, and paralysis in the extremities and often progressing to the chest and face. It typically occurs after recovery from a viral infection or, in rare cases, following immunization for influenza.

No there is no incubation period because lupus is not contagious.

I'm not a doctor but it sounds like dehydration.

Some of the obvious symptoms of Crohn's disease include: diarrhea, abdominal pain and cramping, fresh bright red in the stool or darker red blood mixed with the stool, loss of appetite and weight loss.

Raynauds occurs in autoimmune people when the nerves that control the blood supply to the hands and feet "misfire" and tell those blood vessels to close down.

There are many thyroid diseases, some are autoimmune like Raynaud's. Frequently if a person has one autoimmune disease, they have others. However, thyroid and Raynaud's are not directly linked.

L-Glutamine is an amino acid - While generally not considered an essential amino acid, it may become essential for people who are undergoing intensive physical training or who have gastro-intestinal disease (such as Crohn's, Ulcerative Colitis, or Leaky Gut Syndrome) During a flare up of these conditions the body is put under immense stress, and there is evidence to suggest that L-Glutamine supplementation can help provide essential cellular nutrition to the GI tract. The lining of the intestine relies heavily on L-Glutamine, especially in light of inflammation. L-Glutamine supplementation has been shown to improve healing after surgery (reducing hospital stays and post-op morbidity and mortality) and should be considered in any patient with GI disease or who is undergoing prolonged illness or periods of malnutrition (as occurs during acute GI disease and inflammation). Some Crohn's patients report lessening of GI symptoms and pain and improvement in overall health. These claims are currently unsupported by randomized research. L-Glutamine supplementation is considered safe and can be accomplished in a variety of ways - L-Glutamine powders and tablets can be purchased at health food /nutrition stores such as GNC. Glutamine powder can be added to shakes or juice which can be easier to digest for people going through a flareup of Crohn's disease. Combined with dietary modifications, proper nutrition and medication, L-Glutamine may enhance recovery and treatment regimes for GI disease.

Lupus itself does not cause the purple hands. But Raynaud's syndrome does cause it and Raynaud's often occurs in overlap with lupus. Raynaud's is an autoimmune disorder that causes the nerves that control the capillaries in the extremities to contract inappropriately when exposed to chilly temperatures or stress. http://www.raynauds.org/

Bedbugs can transmit diseases such as MRSA, and Trypanosoma cruzi.

Not necessarily. Each patient is different and the severity of the symptoms can vary a great deal. While Crohns is never cured, remissions (times when the disease is not active) can last for years. Flare's can come and go suddenly, or they can get worse as they go on until hospitalization is the only course of action. There is no way to predict this as each patients disease progresses on its own course.

I have a two part answer for you. First, no Lupus can not be 'caught'. Lupus is a DISORDER (not a disease) of your friend's own autoimmune system. It's on tilt perhaps in more simple terms. Your friend may or may not even be in an active flare of her immune system, lupus tends to come and go on it's own mysterious schedule. Second, there simply is no infection to pass to anyone or to be caught fro

m a kiss. However, you may be a potential infection waiting to happen to your partner. If your friend is taking any immune suppressors to stave off a flare and you have a simple, but active, virus that would not be an issue for anyone not on such medications, she could be at risk from infection from you.
