Autoimmune Diseases

No, it isn't transmitted that way.

Most certainly. Crohns while active can cause nausea as can some of the medications used to treat the disease. There are however many remedies to control the nausea.

Insulin Dependent Diabetic Mellitus

Ventilatory assistance devices may need to be used because of Guillain-Barre syndrome

Discoid lupus may come and go in periods of increased disease activity called a flare.

You're body's immune system (white blood cells )will do all it can to fight to kill it

How ever this virus is smart almost intelligent it mutates (changes) .

the change is drastic it begins to fight the one thing it can kill it our immune system so it attaches to the white blood cells and Begin's to weaken it .

Some of the first symptoms are a Cold like experience, including fever, fatigue , headaches and sometimes a rash .

IT'S A VERY SMART VIRUS BUT WE (HUMANS ) ARE SMARTER .

THIS IS WHAT WE FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS VIRUS IT'S NOT STRONG OR DEADLY WHEN IT FIRST ENTERS US DON'T FORGET IF WE DIE THE VIRUS WILL DIE TO .

AND JUST LIKE US IT DOES NOT WANT TO DIE .

THERE ARE MEDS THEY ARE SIMPLE AND EASY TO OBTAIN .

I DO NOT SELL THE COCKTAIL MEDS I GIVE THEM AWAY & ANSWER QUESTIONS

GOD BLES I HOPE I WAS HELPFUL .

HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is transmitted through contact with infected blood.

Lupus does not cause vitiligo. Both lupus and vitiligo are autoimmune diseases. People who have one autoimmune disease often have more than one. Lupus and vitiligo can occur in the same person at the same time, but there is no cause and effect relationship between the two.

Anything with wheat in it...

Crohns is nothing to be embarrassed about, so get over it.
If you need their help you have to tell them for the sake of your health.
Would you rather be alive an humble, or proud and dead?

There is a condition called Micropenis that is diagnosed in male patients.

The cause of Lupus is unknown, although it can sometimes be caused by certain drugs. Lupus is an autoimmune disease in which the body's immune system cannot recognize it's own tissue from disease causing agents and so attacks itself.

Neuropsychiatric lupus can affect memory, cause depression, and cause personality changes. Current research shows that this affects more lupus patients than previously believed.

Prevention of animal diseases involves surveillance for animal diseases, contingency planning, and disease eradication.

No, an autoimmune disorder will not *burn itself out*.

Cystic Fibrosis happens as the result of a genetic mutation during conception. It is not something that you can develop later in life or that you can catch from another person. Everyone's lungs has some mucus inside them to keep them moist and from rubbing on each other. In CF, that mucus is really thick, making it harder for the person to breathe, and easier for them to get infections. As they get older, the problem tends to progress as the lungs get weaker due to repeated infections, and it gets hard to expel all of the excess mucus. Most people end dying by their mid-20's. Also, most of them are diagnosed with "failure to thrive" as an infant/child, meaning that they aren't gaining height and/or weight at the normal rate for their age and gender.

AIDS was first clinically observed between late 1980 and early 1981. A group of five men showed symptoms of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP), a rare oppourtinistic infection that was known to present itself in people with very compromised immune systems. Soon thereafter, another set of men developed a rare skin cancer called Kaposi's sarcoma (KP). Many more cases of PCP and KP quickly emerged, alerting U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). A CDC task force was formed to monitored the outbreak. After recognizing a pattern of anomalous symptoms presenting themselves in patients, the task force named the condition acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS).[153]

In 1983, two separate research groups lead by Robert Gallo and Luc Montagnier independently declared that a novel retrovirus may have been infecting AIDS patients, and published their findings in the same issue of the journal Science.[154][155] Gallo claimed that a virus his group had isolated from an AIDS patient was strikingly similar in shape to other human T-lymphotropic viruses (HLTVs) his group had been the first to isolate. Gallo's group called their newly isolated virus HLTV-III. At the same time, Montagnier's group isolated a virus from a patient presenting lymphadenopathy (swelling of the lymph nodes) of the neck and physical weakness, two classic symptoms of AIDS. Contradicting the report from Gallo's group, Montagnier and his colleagues showed that core proteins of this virus were immunologically different from those of HTLV-I. Montagnier's group named their isolated virus lymphadenopathy-associated virus (LAV).[153]

On average, individuals with Lupus have a life expectancy of five years less than that of an average, healthy person. Currently, the lifespan of a healthy individual is 77 - 80 years old. Therefore, someone with Lupus has a life expectancy of 72 - 75 years old.

Remember, this is just an average, and every person is different. Whereas some people are severely affected by their Lupus and can die earlier from complications, others can control this chronic illness and live well past what is considered the "normal" life expectancy.

People contract HIV first.

In time, they will develop AIDS-related diseases such as Kaposi's sarcoma or PCP (pneumocistis carinii pneumonia). Once they have AIDS-related diseases, they are typically diagnosed as having AIDS.

The best way to find the best gastroenterologist is to start with your general practitioner.

Most major hospitals also have a bowl clinic and asking at the clinic will often get you a few good suggestions. Contact your local chapter of the Crohn's and colitis foundation for good referrals also as they deal with all things intestinal. You do not have to see a doctor you know nothing about, ask questions, most Crohn's patients are happy to share "war" stories.

i don't know how common it is but i had a resection in 2001 and again in 2004 --- i had diarrhea before my first surgery and it continues today avg. 8 to 10 bm/day --- if age has any relevance i'm 56

Celiac disease is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the small intestine in genetically susceptible individuals. It is triggered by ingesting certain proteins, commonly referred to as "gluten" which is naturally present in some cereal grains - specifically wheat, barley, rye, kamut, spelt, and triticale.

A part of the protein gluten in these specific grains combines with an immune system molecule (normally DQ2 or DQ8, thought the process is not 100% understood), producing an immune reaction that attacks the intestine itself, and can lead to an extremely large variety of symptoms, including pain, diarrhea, fatigue, and poor absorption of nutrients. Over time, damage to the intestine can lead to severe infections, osteoporosis, internal bleeding, and cancer of the intestine.

Sufferers of Celical (or Coeliac) disease have to be extremely careful what they eat, as the majority of prepared and restaurant food contains or is contaminated with the specific glutens that cause the reaction. A miniscule, invisible amount of wheat flour can trigger the process.

The types of food and levels of contamination are widely understood, and many sufferers simply avoid all food prepared by others permanently.

Approximately 1.3% of the population suffers from Celiac disease, up to 5% may be intolerant to gluten in a less serious way.
