On prolonged usage of certain anaesthetic drugs, the user may develop immunity to that drug, so that the required level of anaesthesia does not set in if the drug is use for the next time. Is any medical literature on this topic ?

Yes, its not immunity though, its tolerance.  Generally, after a few weeks, the tolerance disappears.

If a person is on medication for asthma and on oxygen, How can detoxifying help . and will it interfere with the medication which is necessary for them.

Nothing, unless you take more than the recommended daily allowance or do it regularly. If you take painkillers regularly you'll end up with a headache when you don't take them, due to withdrawal effects.

For the same reason all drugs tend to be shunned.  People do not know how to use them in moderation.  They use and use and let it take over their lives.  If drug use did not become the only thing in a users life, it may be more accepted.  Alcohol is a good example.  Some people can drink and then not drink for months, but others live only to drink.  This tends to happen more with other drugs.  Alcoholics = Junkies.

if u r a heavy drinker or u used to take some kind of medicines or may be drugs ..all this will effect &decrease your response to local anasthesia...in the other hand may be ur dentist didn't give you enough anas. or didn't inject it exactly where it should be inject.(((all the above reasons are normal and common but not in your case)))...in your case you didn't trust your dentist you were affraid of drilling and injecting a foriegn solution in your mouth tissues ((believe me that the main common cause of what you suffered from)) ...psychological cause very common in the first dental procedure in the life and in some cases it remain with the person all his life .....the other issue ((a bigger cavity)) that's normal cause the dentist have to clean tooth cavity from dead and decayed tooth tissues and food  debris accomulated in the cavity and apart of the healthy tooth tissue to make sure that the decay will not return back eatin the rest of your tooth because any micro  soft caries spot if left will reactivate itself after dressing the permenant filling ........and it's good for you when she didn't filled ur tooth with a permenant metal filling material ...it will be very painfull for you in the first 3-7 days.(((good luck....by the way i'm a dentist)))

It all depends on how they get the drug into their system.  If they snort it through their nose, they will seem as if they may just have allergies & a runny nose & sniffles.  Using it this way will cause them to have a sudden burst of "energy" & suddenly their room will be clean & other household chores will be completed in record time.  They may not sleep for days, then they will get quite irritated for the strangest reasons.  They will forget to eat, drink liquids, & become constipated OR have the runs.  Their tongues will be dry & so will their lips.  Sometimes, they seem as if they are having a nervous breakdown because they are so nervous & confused.  The more they are pressured by people asking them questions, the more aggitated they become.  They can become violent & start throwing things.  They can yell & scream & threaten to hurt you if you don't leave them alone.  When they finally do get to sleep, they will stay asleep for days or only a few hours.  I could go on & on, but the bottom line is no matter what your age is, the effects of this drug will leave a lifelong altering mark on you mind, body & soul.  The younger you are, the longer you have to use it, but the effects on your body will show up in a much more severe way in a short time.  Usually within ONE YEAR, you will have aged 5 to 10years on the inside ofyour body.  By the time it shows on the outside of your body, it is too late & you have damaged yourself & your body permanently.  The health effects will show up as you grow older.  Usually the heart shows the most frequent signs of distress.  If you are smoking meth, your LUNGS will have problems.  If you are using a needle, your entire system & bloodstream & vital organs become saturated with the organisms that are in the dope.  If you ingest (eat) it, your stomach acids will kill most of the bacteria, but you will still sweat out the toxins through your skin & sweat glands which could cause you to start picking at your skin & face!

If you took them for 9 days that seems odd to break out so late? Are you sure it isn't something else? Anyhow you should be through the process by now. i would however tell both to have it on record that you should be give something different. If you truly are allergic you don't want to get them again. Right? So, that is something they both need to know.

Yes conceivably but your body would decide to breathe in spite of your wishes once if you are unconscious. The only thing that would stop that was if something was blocking your air passages.

Each medication, depending on how many miligrams they were ingesting might cause a bad reaction if they go cold turkey.  Sleepiness and headaches are the most common.  You should seek your physician's help in stopping.

normally no. but it will depend on the region and mass that has been taken along with the medicines that you are taking after the operation.\nanyway this is common to many patients which usually gets resolved spontanously with time.\ntake care ,\nmay god help you

An excellent point! I am a psychologist and I am bit alarmed at some of the answers given to quite technical, medical questions. While a small % of the questions I have seen are obviously from 'cranks' most of them seem genuine and the people concerned are obviously anxious about their condition.\n\nI agree with your point, re drugs, and people who are not medically trained should NOT be giving advice on drugs at all - even if they have just read up on then in Wikipedia (not always a reliable source!!!!).\n\nI think this type is site is fun - but this medical section is becoming a genuine concern for me.

depends on your immune system and what kind and how much of what drug...............

As long as the medication is properly labeled with a professionally printed label identifying the medication and manufacturer's name or pharmaceutical label. The prescription medicine must match the name on the passenger's ticket.\n\nAll disability-related equipment, aids, and devices continue to be allowed through security checkpoints once cleared through screening.\n\nThe only minor exception would be liquid medications and the new "plastic bag" rule that applies.  This is all per the Transporation Security Administration's website.

Actually in most cases it would be the responsibility of the anaesthesiologist to inform the patient.  Irregardless of just who's responsibility it is, the patient must be informed of all potential risks in any medical procedure, further it must be insured that the patient fully understands these risks.  This is informed consent, all information must be on paper for the patient to sign signifying that she does understand and accept the risks.

If you got a shot at the doctor, you would say "I've just been immunized so now I have immunity because my doctor gave me an immunization." But if you could not get a disease again because you had already had that disease (like I had measles and mumps when I was a kid), then you would say "I have immunity" to whatever. On the show, they have to win immunity, so I would argue they are not being immunized by someone else or receiving an immunization, because they had to develop their own immunity, just like I did by suffering from those diseases. And the lawyer's clients have to earn immunity by giving up other people. The police don't immunize them. So I think I'm with you on this one.

Technically you shouldn't - they say medicines can alter over time, some lose potency - some get stronger, some go bad.  However, it depends on the condition - I for instance had a urinary tract infection and used left over antibiotics to help  get rid of it.  People do it - but as an EMT - I should be telling you not to.

There are specialists involved in this...you need not worry about it.  They knock people out everyday, there is no harm to your body involved.\n\nI have had some slight problems in the past, because my body does not respond well to anesthetics...at worst you will be groggier for longer, possibly very tired for a couple of days after.  This is on the outer edge of the norm--everyone reacts differently.\n\nMy mom has had a sinus surgery similar to what you described...she had no problems at all.\n\nGOOD LUCK!  FEEL BETTER SOON!
