“If one suffers no symptoms from a disease(e.g., high blood pressure, a lump, etc.) but is diagnosed with it, should one just not treat it until symptoms begin to surface?”
You missed my point. Asymptomatic patients should be treated to prevent complications. So I don’t know what you mean by a lump? If you mean a benign tumor that doesn’t have to be removed- what kind of complication is there? On the other hand, hypertension & celiac have complications.
If someone hasn’t yet been told to go on the GFD, there is no reason to start on your own before Pesach.
A few more weeks isn’t going to make any difference.
Go to sleep. If not, tomorrow you will be sleeping on the job.
I don’t know who you are -so I don’t know about your divorce or scandal. So tell me – how are you moving on? You seem to constantly mention your situation. It might be possible to move on without getting remarried, but this will be a very difficult task, to say the least.
shlishi – You sound like my twin. I brought my car into Meineke in Howell and they told me I need brakes. I went to my mechanic and he said no way. I was thinking of going back to Meineke for the $26 that I had to pay my mechanic for checking out the brakes and if they refused to take them to small claims court. I decided I’m too lazy.
I have an appt. tomorrow with the mechanic to replace two tires. He said it’s $110 per tire. He better not charge me $125!
Waking up in the morning and finding caked blood all over my little son’s face.
My car started smoking and it wasn’t the raditiator, while I was driving on the highway. It ended up being the battery.
I never said I was a Doctor.
Oh good no more rhymes with Que sera.
Time to move past your divorce stage, into a new one like marriage. It’s called moving on in life.
Try K-mart brand or FUTURO brand. They are not that difficult to put on.
From medicine.net: “Some doctors believe that strict adherence to a gluten free diet can reduce the risk of cancer in individuals with celiac disease, but further studies are needed to prove this. Until more is known in this area, persons with celiac disease should adhere strictly to a gluten free diet.”
But this diet can start after the person sees their doctor. Going on it before Pesach won’t make a difference for this long-term complication.
Listen -IMO, if they are asymptomatic, why refrain from eating gluten products at all in general? If their whole lives they were eating gluten and nothing ever happenned, why stop now? Even if Esther is correct about intestinal damage, continue eating the gluten until symptomatic. Being on a gluten-free diet is very difficult and expensive.
How could they not like anyone, we’re all anonymous?
Only if you do shtick, like one famous guy, do they get angry and possibly blocked.
anon1m0us -“That song was from the movie “The Man Who Knew Too Much”…..Great movie!! I love the old time classics!”
Actually the song preceded the movie. We had a discussion about the song in one of the topics in the CR.
“My grandfather wears lovely ladies’ support stockings for his”
I actually wore the ones made for men, not ladies. I also don’t have varicose veins. They help to prevent aching legs and feet if you’re on your feet all day.
“…a guy with sympathy pains??”
I felt bad when my wife was going through childbirth and had pain, but sympathy pains -not me, never. You can’t be a medical professional with sympathy only empathy. Look up the difference.
eclipse – I’m suprised you’re still talking to me after my post on Que Sera song. Oh, you probably didn’t see it -they deleted it.
Obviously, I bought them for myself. The ones from K’mart were around $5 a pair.
“Not a newly married pisher! sorry, don’t mix in!”
If you see someone doing something dangerous the Torah requires you to say something. I personally don’t because where I live I would almost say it’s most people not being careful with their or their kids lives. Eg. -No helmets, standing up in moving cars, even when they are sitting – no seatbelts, on the cell phone while driving and totally distracted (I’m not the police, it’s still illegal even if you aren’t distracted), letting young kids cross streets when they don’t know how (crossing in middle, not knowing how to cross at a light -you still have to look for turning traffic). I could probably go on & on but I don’t have the time and to tell everyone off -if I spent the whole day doing it – I still wouldn’t finish.
Lia – Cabrini closed down awhile ago.
BSD – Surely, you jest. Anyway it means – Sweep and mop everything
and clean the bathrooms.
There are cheap compression stockings that work. The frum stores or ladies in their houses only sell the most expensive. But I’ve found in K-mart and online cheaper and they work fine.
yogibooboo- So does prunes and prune juice.
“My daughter was operated on at around 5 years old- it didn’t go away on its own.”
Your daughter is in the minority.
Sac – “In a teenager, this warrants seeing a shrink?”
It obviously depends on the degree. Many lifelong problems start during adolescence, such as smoking, alcohol or drug addictions. We won’t mention everything that occurs with this age group.
cutiepie/adorable -“you are starting out with one of”
I wasn’t starting – I was just asking a few simple questions.
“that would be detrimental for us all”
I don’t understand. Why would that be detrimental to anyone?
Sac – I don’t necessary mean “scared”, but concerned. Some people are just too carefree and have no concern about anything of value in life.
DY – “I don’t know about thinest, but Pupa-Tzelem is 8 matzos per pound”
I also think these are the best tasting!
Mod -80 – Why? What do you know that we don’t? Are you Moshe Rose?
Sac -“Not so much.”
Why did you post this, when you agree with me?
Did you read the rest of my post?
umm – Yea, but they blocked him. I don’t think they know all his SN’s. I’m begining to think that MR -Moshe Rose is another. Not because they are similar in Haskafa, but because as soon as they blocked him as Grandmaster, MR showed up on the post topic.
Anyone agree?
BSD -“muchos dinaros.” – Lots of monies. No, lots of money.
Mucho(s) dinero. I doubt you pay her a real lot.
Just tell the Senora – Barer y mopa todo y(Eee) limpiar los banyos!
“streightens up before amigo”
Which language do you know – Yiddish, Ivrit?
“Straighten” & “amiga”!
cshapiro – “when was ur last shrink appt? i think its def something to discuss with him…..”
I think these teenagers would need a shrink if they wouldn’t be scared. It’s good to be scared, as long as you don’t become a “Henny Penny”. Too many people take life for granted and consider that happines is based on material things. They just go day to day trying to have as much creature comforts as possible.
cutie/adorable – This is what happens when you don’t tell the whole history. I wouldn’t have missed the diagnosis if you would have posted this in the git go – “he also gave me a paste to put on my gums (they looked red to him)”! Since you saw a gum specialist (peridontist), I deduce you have either gingivitis or peridontitis. These diseases can cause a lot of Pain. This usually is treated with root & scaling, but they can give you some meds like a paste.
The best prevention of these disorders is good oral hygiene. Brush & Floss 2-3 times a day for at least 2-3 – 5 minutes. You must brush your gums and gumline. Use a proxa brush. Use Listerine twice a day! These suggestions come from a book called “Doctors book of Home Remedies”. You can find more suggestions there. I think they might have a website which contains all the info from the book called -“Mother’s Nature”.
“reb yonte – I cant see the hebrew, can you decipher it for me please.”
Just click on the link -He has post on that topic that is applicable to here.
“If the boy is upfront and is only willing to get married if the in-laws provide a house, that is their business.”
True; but here in America we have a problem called “keeping up with the Joneses”. I personally don’t have this problem, but a lot of people do. These people are psychologically forced to say and commit to things that is way beyond their means. Maybe they are scared their kid won’t get married if they don’t. This definitely was one of the reasons why Gedolim put out Takonos about Chasunah spending.
So IMO, if a bachur before the chasuna has demands that they Know the in-laws can’t afford to do, but they do it anyway because they can get away with it -this is Very Not Ehrlich and such a person doesn’t deserve to be supported to sit and learn!
“I am happy to listen, o speak with anyone that has the disease.”
The CR is a perfect place for a forum on IBD. You can use this topic or you can start a new one like they did with diabetes; ie -Diabetes Support Group. The advantage of the CR is that the posters remain anonymous.
To whom are you refering?
yeshiva world leaders – your spelling and your point isn’t coherent. Try again.
Eclipse – I’yh, you’ll find your Richtige Zivug soon (even if you don’t want to right now) and be able to put this chapter of your life behind you. You should only have simchos from now on.
I don’t like posters like “knowsitall”, who thinks he/she knows it all and we all have to conform to their opinion. I totally disregard people who come here and denigrate YWN and the posters in the CR. If the OP had a legitmate Taanah he/she could have posted what topic(s), he/she finds offensive. Then we could have an open discussion -pro or con. The fact he/she doesn’t do that is because his/her purpose is just to rank out/ put down everyone here. I for one will not go on the defensive like some of the above posters.
umm – No, the mods had under Grandmaster’s name- Joesph, but he must have did something to tick them off -hence -blocked. Joe has been here awhile. They even started a topic about him and his many screen names.
adorable -“(they looked red to him)”
What does this mean? Is he diagnosing gingivitis? When is the last time you had a professional cleaning?
s2021 -“Its on one side aaaaall the way back..near my ear but a lil below – like where my last tooth would be if I had an extra tooth.. Hey- can I be growing a tooth??”
You can. My advice -go to a dentist. These type of pains are usually tooth related, eg. cavity. It could also be TMJ problems. Your dentist can detect this also. If you wait too long -a cavity can turn into a major problem and you could end up losing the tooth or having a root canal. Get an appt. ASAP!
mbachur -“But my kid (18 months old) is teething again and this time it’s molars so it’s unbearable for him (which in turn makes it unbearable for us)”
Put Anbesol or schnapps or a cold teething ring on his gums.
It seems to me, as soon as he gets married, they all will be coming to live with you. A lot of times the new wife doesn’t want to be bothered with his kids. Them calling her mommy is just a title, nothing to get worked up about. Also, didn’t you once post that they call you Eema, so it’s not even confusing to them.
Be prepared to show all the ones who come to live with you an extreme amount of love, but this doesn’t preclude setting down some ground rules!
My vote – He’s great!
OOmis – The problem, I think is, that a lot of parents don’t even realize that they brought up a bunch of spoiled kids!
Always – I don’t know why your kids went off, but her situation isn’t the same as yours.
Why would you be insulted? Why would you have any guilt? -I was in no way refering to you!
“most people aren’t assuming it… they know it!”
I wasn’t talking about the parents. I know exactly what my children do. I was talking about what the preception of the world is.
PBA – You just proved my last point.
Joe – “No, the discussion of this thread is the in fact the polar opposite of any and all Kollel ideals and teachings. The very very few exceptions notwithstanding.”
I agree that this attitude is against Kollel ideals and teachings. I think that this was the point of the OP -that this is somewhat prevalent, even though they shouldn’t be like that. He/she brought stories not just from her/him self, but from their friends also. Also, I know about the demanding before the marriage even takes place. So to make it out that it is a very, very small percentage- simply isn’t honest!
Eclipse – You have to figure out a way to stop her bad behavior immediately. The OTD behavior will take time (possibly years). You can ask advice from a therapist or a mentor. I would (if it was my kid -who had bad behavior along with the OTD) immediately challenge her -Where are you going? With whom are you going? Probably way before that time -I’d tell her to go to sleep.
I just have the OTD kids, not the problematic behavior kids.
I don’t understand why most people in the frum community automatically assume if your kid(s) are OTD, they must be doing bad things, eg. drugs, etc. Maybe these people are just ignorant.
Just think to yourself, not from a religious perspective, how would an upstanding Goyishe mother deal with this kind of behavior! Mentchlichkeit and Yiddishkeit aren’t synonymous. There are frei people with Mentchlichkeit and there are frum people without Mentchlichkeit!
Mod 72 -“your opinions given as free advice is sometimes wrong”
Besides your OWN opinion, you have failed to PROVE anything I’ve posted is INCORRECT!
“and usually given in a negative way even when given in the authoritative tone in which you project yourself.”
You as a MOD, know more than anyone, that if they were like you say, they would never have been approved by the Mods!
“one last point: your comments generally upset other posters more than they help.”
Besides your own opinion and maybe the few girls that post here, how could you possibly know this? Did you take a poll of ALL the posters? Besides there are a lot of people who don’t post, but read the topics on YWN, did you survey their opinion(s)? I am here to post medical info -I feel this helps many people.
I posted this before to you – If you don’t like my posts -skip or ignore them!
