acquring maleria at a age 4 then having it treated with quinine at age 9, does it die or just go in to regression, and can it come back by it's self or be trigred by the flu?

Two kinds of malaria P.vivax (up to 3 years) and P. ovale (up to 1 1/2 years) can relapse because both can form hypnozoites which can reactivate the parasite's life cycle. You can go here for more information. http://www.emedicine.com/PED/topic1357.htm The flu is not likely to be a trigger because it is a viral disease and malaria is not. There is another kind of relapse that doesn't involve hypnozoites in P. malariae that can occur up to 20 years after original infection. It is a very complex disease. You would do well to see a physician if you believe you may be relapsing. That's a much better choice than seeking medical advice here. Relapsing strains may be drug resistant.

I've never heard of this, so first of all my thoughts are with your family.  I knew strokes, heart attacks and those types of things didn't only happen to "older" people anymore, but that they were also happening to people as young as their 20's.  I had absolutely no idea, I am going to try to look this up tho, as I have two young children.  Were there any symptoms, something long coming that didn't get noticed because it was also considered a normal thing?  I hope he stays strong and has a great turn around back to good health.

IF it's yeast, which even doctors misdiagnose sometimes, it should respond to treatment UNLESS it is a resistant species.  Most yeast infections are caused by Candida Albicans, but I personally have Candida glabrata.  Other species may or may not respond to treatment.  \n\nAlso, since the yeast went away, it's logical to assume that it was the albicans strain.  As such, it's return means that either a) you didn't take enough, or quit the treatment too soon b) you have a precipitating factor causing yeast overgrowth.  In which case, a is easily remedied and b) needs evaluation for HIV, diabetes, or allergens.  \n\nHIV compromises the immune system creating chronic yeast in some women, and diabetes and lack of control of insulin in addition to compromising the immune system, also can cause yeast to grow out of control.  For me, allergens can cause excess vaginal discharge which provides a hospitable environment facilitating their growth.  I've even changed everything to unscented (soap, detergent) and still have problems.  Allergens can cause a problem in that steroids used to treat them often cause yeast overgrowth too, so I was up the creek without a pattle.\n\nI use boric acid suppositories, they are safe, inexpensive (about $30 for a 3-month supply), and they WORK.  I'm possibly having issues with them right now inflaming my urethra due to over-use, so I would recommend you use them every 3-4 days, not every other day like me.  Boric acid alters the ph literally making it impossible for yeast to live.  It takes longer than 3 days for yeast to return again (usually four to five days).  You can get a prescription for this, generally gynecologists know about this trick, or you can go to the drug store and get boric acid poweder and put 600 mg in a gelatin capsule.\n\nDiet is an iffy thing, with huge debate.  If it worked, then I'd say go with it.  But generally, in otherwise healthy women without diabetes, diet shouldn't be an issue.

My husband stopped after 1 year because he had pnemonia.  He only stopped for about 5 weeks and this is 1 year later and he has not been able to get back into it.  I guess depending on how many days per week u go, if u go 3 times or so u should be ok, but, if u don't have to stop...DON"T!!\nTry to stop for as short a time as possible.  It could be that my husband was over doing it, which is why he burned out so fast and got sick.

NO its not going to kill everybody if it keeps as it is at the moment.\nYou can get it just by contact with sick animals.\nBut this kind o virus can change behavior. \nThat was what happened in 1918 in the Spanish flu.\nSee in\nhttp://www.therealleiman.com/history.html\nIf that happens now with this virus \nWell , ....let us hope its not going to happens.

The ZOMBIE is right,IT IS INTERESTING;) \nCurrent International Research suggests that the virus is killed within seconds of reaching 70 degree C. Avoid food that conatins raw meat or eggs!any properly cooked chicken or egg poses no threat!\n\nBon Apetit

hey bro, let me do you a favor off the course. sure things can be passed on to one another i.e. viruses, disease, behavioral patterns, peer pressure etc., please do not buy into this line of thinking. my buddy received his full head of grey at age 19, right after his car ran off the road and down in a ditch only to be rescued later by luck. take a step back, don't overthink it and then move on without making this an issue.

I had it for over 6 months and I'm 25 years old.  I got it from Ampicillin and Gentamycin during labor.  I USED to post on www.cdiffsupport.com - there is a lot of info there that you may find helpful.  Just dont post questions that have been answered - the mods are psycho.  So search first so they dont jump all over you "CHECK THE FAQ" bla bla bla type answers.\n\nAnyway, I had profuse watery yellow diarrhea, rapid pulse, didnt feel quite right, and I lost weight.  The front line treatment is Flagyl that has horrible side effects that just add to the symptoms of C.diff.  If Flagyl fails, then Vancocin is prescribed - highly expensive stuff.  \n\nI finally got 'cured' by seeing an Infectious disease doctor.. My GI was clueless.\n\nI have kids and they never picked it up from me - sanitation, hand washing, and keeping things clean will help with infection control.

I go fishing frequently and ticks can occasionally be an issue. It's probably going to be OK. If she was a little older you could use a tiny pair of pointy tweezers to remove the head, but at her age I suppose she wouldn't like that too much. The head is very small (think grain of sand or smaller) and should either work itself out through natural sloughing off of skin cells over time, or more likely will be dissolved by antibodies. Inspect the site periodically for redness/tenderness, signs of an infection, but I doubt you'll have a problem. If there have been cases of Lyme disease in your area, take her in just to be safe. Hope this helped.

A lot like having a flu bug you cannot shake and general malaise.  When my cousin had it (age 6) she developed bruises that did not heal.  She had a test done on a Friday for the cancer with negative results, another on Monday and it was positive.  She is now 16 and in remission for years.  Good luck.

I know this is easier said then done, but I wouldn't worry about it just yet.  Ive had mine for 3 years now and I'm 32 and your body does go through changes all the time.  Just take a deep breath and relax and if things don't change in a week or so, then call a doctor.  I'm a Paramedic and a woman, so just tryin to help 8-)

I would suggest in taking some medicene. Theres this medicence that I take. It's called TheraFlu. It's amazing! If that doesn't work, heat up some water and put some lemon in it. Thera Flu comes in a hot tea liquid form or in a pill form, they both work just as well.

You never grow out of it.  It is a neurological disorder and it never goes away.  The symptoms might get less and less with age.

I have been coloring the roots of my hair ( black) my natural hair color, since I was 27.  I am now 49.  About three years ago I started noticing that my hair coloring was burning my head as soon as my colorist put it to my roots.  I just did it anyway.  We are sooo vain.  It finally caught up with me this past year.  I began to develope a serious allergy to the hair color products.  I would have to be on Benedryl for about 10 days round the clock after getting my hair done.  I had it done every 5 weeks as it grew fast, and when your hair is Black, white hair is noticable.  My colorist did not want to do my hair anylonger.  She was fearful of me going into shock while in her shop...so, I had to come up with something different.  I now do my own hair, it was really scarey the first time as I had never done it myself.  Also, I researched online and found some more natural products to use.  I am happy to say that this last month when I did my hair, I only had to take 2 Benedryls as opposed to 1 every 4 hours for 10 days!  Hair dye is very toxic to our scalps and hair follicles.  Even knowing this, I still have to color my hair.  After years of doing so, the toxicity caught up to me. I Found a Natural healthier permanent coloring - brand name- NATURATINT- level 3N.  They make several different levels for semi-permanent, wash out and the one I use for permanent and 100% grey coverage.  Works great!  Cost a little bit more, but worth it for me not to die from the buring and itching and breaking out on the scalp.  Try it.  It is amonnia free.  You might have to find it in a Natural Foods, or holistic shop, maybe a Whole foods ?

I had West Nile (Meningitis) last August.  Symptoms lasted through November.  There are 3 phases, West Nile Virus Fever (mild flu-like symptoms), West Nile Meningitis which affects the external brain membranes and West Nile Encephalitis which is the most deadly form.  There is great debate as to whether or not a person becomes immune from becoming symptomatic once they've had the virus.  The reason is that the virus has not been in this country long enough to do true studies. There is a wonderful site to go to with other West Nile Survivors ... we all listen to each other and answer questions about our own experiences with this virus:http://p102.ezboard.com/bwestnilevirussurvivorsfoundation
