WtP – What didn’t you understand? The latest treatment for PANDAS is what I posted!
Although there are some practioners that aren’t up on the latest.
Only treat with antibiotics – if there is an acute infection!DY -“And worth every penny!”
Are you one of these guys/gals when your kids’ ear hurts you run to your local Health Nut?!?
WtP -“involves weeks of strong antibiotics.”
A freebie!
Wrong! The treatment of PANDAS is antibiotics – only if the kid has an acute infection; eg. throat culture is positive.
Otherwise treat with CBT and SSRI’s or other psychiatric medications.Uncle Ben – Unless you follow his/her’s advice of -“just don’t bother sending your kids to school”, in this case he/she is correct; no matter what Psak you happened to get!
GH -“And if there was such advice against the consensus of medical experts, one should quickly find a new rav/posek who would not put him/her at risk.-”
There are Rabbonim who hold that you don’t have to get vaccinated. Because there are risks involved.
I personally hold of most vaccines.Arielski -“What is the halacha on vaccinations?”
Most hold you should get them!
LB -“Health: If you received your first and only Meningitis vaccine at age 20, do you need to be vaccinated again at any other point in your life if you’re not working in healthcare?”
From the CDC:
“Adults
Meningococcal vaccines are recommended for certain groups of adults at increased risk for meningococcal disease. Each meningococcal vaccine is listed below with which groups of adults are recommended to get it.Meningococcal Conjugate Vaccine Recommendations
Adults should get a meningococcal conjugate vaccine (Menactra® or Menveo®) if they:Have a rare type of disorder (complement component deficiency)
Are taking a medicine called Soliris®
Have a damaged spleen or their spleen has been removed
Have HIV
Are a microbiologist who is routinely exposed to Neisseria meningitidis
Are traveling to or residing in countries in which the disease is common
Are part of a population identified to be at increased risk because of a serogroup A, C, W, or Y meningococcal disease outbreak
Are not up to date with this vaccine and are a first-year college student living in a residence hall
Are a military recruit
Talk to your doctor to find out if, and when, you will need booster shots.Serogroup B Meningococcal Vaccine Recommendations
Adults should get a serogroup B meningococcal vaccine (Bexsero® or Trumenba®) if they:Have a rare type of disorder (complement component deficiency)
Are taking a medicine called Soliris®
Have a damaged spleen or their spleen has been removed
Are a microbiologist who is routinely exposed to Neisseria meningitidis
Are part of a population identified to be at increased risk because of a serogroup B meningococcal disease outbreak”Arielski -“Keep in mind that there are two infectious causes of meningitis – bacterial and viral.”
Actually there are 3 types of meningitis – Bacterial, Viral & Fungal.
East12th -“The route of transmission of these bacteria is via intimate contact ”
This is true.
Arielski -” Bacterial meningitis is spread by close contact, including droplets from coughing.”
Also true!
E/O should get the shot, not just guys in Yeshiva!Joe -“WB Health!”
Sorry, I didn’t go anywhere. Look at YWN HOME, were I post sometimes.
No, of course not.
FNY -“So the criteria for a Gadol now is whoever approves of Trump in English?”
It’s very sad that you didn’t begin to understand my point!
Godolhador -” but there is any oxymoron about being a “gadol” and giving the Trumpkopf a blanket endorsement. in any language”
And you think calling yourself “GODOLHADORAH” on YWN, makes you one?!?
NC -“Rubashkin.”
I think he’s a Godol in Achdus. All the others mentioned are Gedolim in their own right.
I personally think that the most Chushuv in our generation is the Kaliver Rebbe.
He spoke in English to give Hakoras Hatov to Pres. Trump!Rabbi of Crawley -“Armed robberies, murders, mass shootings.”
I guess that there is no violent crime in Great Britain?!?
YEA RIGHT?!?
At least in the US – the cops and normal citizens can protect themselves.
IE: A lot of people have legal guns!CTLawyer -“The Sate Income Tax was instituted by a NON-Democrat Governor (former Republican elected on a 3rd Party line) Lowell Weicker”
Stop with your dishonesty! Weicker left the Republican party. He espoused more democratic party lines than republican ones.
The proof is – he got more democratic votes than the guy running on the democratic party line for Governor!CTLawyer -“How many CR readers i the northeast pay more than 10K per year in real estate taxes, how many pay state and local income tax….deductions gone”
I tell you & the rest of you libs crack me up!
The states that have the most real estate taxes are because of the democrats. All democrats know is to spend other peoples’ money. But it’s funny how you blame Trump.Joe – Me & you were the first ones on YWN to support (now) Pres. Trump!
The funniest thing was all the naysayers on YWN, even after he won.
Hashem had different plans than the Jewish Libs, even though they always think they know-it-all!To E/O:
From NFPA: “A closed door may slow the spread of smoke, heat and fire. Install smoke alarms in every sleeping room and outside each separate sleeping area. For the best protection, make sure all smoke alarms are interconnected.”WtP -“I think it is pretty safe, and I’m pretty paranoid about fire. I wonder what fire safety experts would say about our arrangements”
It’s pretty safe. But I think you don’t need to go that far. I don’t go to sleep until all the Licht are out.
2qwerty – “Can we come up with fireproof plan b. How can we help people to make sure that they are doing it right?”
Btw, I like your SN, it’s easy to type.
E/O should take a fire safety course!loweryourtuition -“Electrical fires are known to erupt and engulf a house in flames in just minutes.”
One of my knowledge areas is fire prevention (of course medicine also).
That said – Almost All Fires Are Preventable – Including electrical ones!
PS. I’m not talking about last night’s fire in Flatbush.LB -“medical condition that is not treatable with Israeli health care, and living in America will help you live longer, ”
Why can’t it be treated in Israel?!?
Joe -“sticking up for traditional marriage and against toeiva “marriage” (the second time.) That’s what America needs; not the meckelech who say “oy, the Supreme Court ruled against common sense and traditional values, so we must now all fall in line with the new immoral zeitsgeist.””
WRONG Again!
This country needs s/o who follows our LAWS! Otherwise we’ll end up like Nazi Germany!
As far as Toivah, we need either SCOTUS to reverse their decision or an Amendment to the US Constitution!Joe – “He lost because the Democrat dirty tricks machine of where one of their in-house outlets, the Washington Post, published false allegations against Moore, and its goal was successful.”
WRONG!
He lost because moderate Republicans don’t trust him.
He was twice thrown out from the Alabama Supreme Court!Gaon -“In fact, I heard from many old time Lakewooder’s that there was a time when the first Pizza shop opened up, many Chushuva yidden refused to go in.”
You must mean the 2nd one. I was in the first one & it was empty. No one dared go in – e/o was scared!
iacisrmma -“I have never heard that any poseik has allowed taking someone off a respirator”
This is generally true, but there are exceptions.
slonimer -“Which gedolei poskim today answer pikuach nefesh shailos, that can address time sensitive shailos that entail a possible pikuach nefesh situation regardless of which course of action is chosen?”
Rabbi Schienberg in Flatbush. He has many doctors in his Shul & he does this all the time.
Pt -” I’m bleeding GREEN!”
According to two posters above – he must be a VULCAN!
RG -“for a blue one”
The veins only appear blue through the skin. The actual venous blood is dark red.
We have to go back to the time when Yeshivas had Secular studies in High School!Meno -“I did, and I still do.”
Now you know the truth. Maybe you’re a Vulcan?!?
“Prove to me otherwise”
Why – I’m not your teacher?!? But for a price I could be.
LB -“Just wanted to let you know that your blood isn’t blue beneath your surface, aka skin.
Myth exposed”What Myth?
Who ever thought blood was blue?
The vessels look blue through the skin, not the blood.
Vulcans’ have blue blood!LB -“I got general anesthesia, and back in my day, that was the norm”
I’m middle aged & I had 2 wisdom teeth removed and it was a local shot.
The other 2 are still there.FS -“While Im Washing Dishes for some reason my mother or mother in Law seem to want to speak with me on the phone”
Do your Machson L’Peh while you do the dishes!
LB -“cause those dark melanin spots on the skin that people get from UV exposure.”
I’d be worried about Melanin spots, because the next step is Cancer!
Meno -“Have you ever even been out of Brooklyn?”
He’s been to Lakewood, but that’s really NY!
akuperma -“Compared to medical conditions related to being overweight (probably affect most people by middle age).”
Your’re typical of the denial group!
While being overweight is a major problem – there are treatments.
The reason that the spill over from the Goyim is because they don’t have any good treatments, for anyone.
I’ve talked about this topic in the CR, many times before.CY -““When a town deliberately changes zoning laws and building codes so that Jews will not be able to move in, that is anti-Semitism. ””
You didn’t answer my question – Read it above.
Don’t always assume it’s Antisemitism!
Do you know how times prospective buyers knocked on my door & I’m Frum?CY -“When a town deliberately changes zoning laws and building codes so that Jews will not be able to move in, that is anti-Semitism.”
A lot of these towns have also made “No knock” policies.
Is this also Antisemitism?!?FF -“Drug crisis in Jewish community IS overrated!!!!”
That depends on your perspective.
I think all problems in the Frum community aren’t dealt with. And even things that recently e/o is aware of – there are many people still in Denial!
With regards to Drug Abuse, abuse of alcohol is more common.
I haven’t seen most people taking this very seriously; i.e. limiting alcohol at Simchas.
