How would severe starvation be treated in a hospital?
I need a DETAILED account of how someone with severe (near death) starvation would be treated in a hospital. I know it would involve introducing nutrients little by little. How long would it take until the person (female young adult) is COMPLETELY healthy again? What would the entirety of the treatment involve?
Also, what symptoms would be present at different times of treatment?
Question about accutane?
I have had persistent acne since I was in about 5th grade. I am a senior in high school now. I was on minocycline and tetracycline at different times, and I have been on Bactrim for the past year. Bactrim has definitely been the most effective treatment so far. It has cleared my face up to a certain degree. I still end up with little patches here or there consistently. Few pop up, go away, then more come in a different spot. I don't think I'm as consistent with taking the bactrim as I could be though.
Even though my acne has gotten much better than previously, I am still so tired of having to deal with never having a completely clear face. It has been such a long time.. I now have plenty of acne scars, which is just awesome... and I don't want to continue. I just want to have a perfectly clear face, for once.
I went to the dermatologist about a month ago, and she set me up to start going on accutane a month from that. The last time I had a visit to the derm, she was the one that had suggested I should try accutane. I have been pondering it for months, and this last time I decided I would do it. My derm said that basically being on Bactrim for a long time could be just as risky as being on Accutane, so I mine as well try something new & more effective. So, I am supposed to be starting accutane in 10 days. I have to get bloodwork done a few days beforehand.
There is, however, still time for me to back out of it. I was planning to go get bloodwork done tomorrow morning, but I have been reading really negative reviews and it's really making me second guess my decision- once again.
I just want to know if you think it would be worth it and what your personal experiences have been. I'm afraid of the long-term side effects.
Thanks(: !
acne treatment question…?
so, everytime I try a new acne product, like proactiv, exposed, and zenmed, my skin clears up and stays clear for about a year. then, my skin gets immune to that product and starts going back to breaking out. this always happens. What if....I don't use the same acne product consistently? What if I switch it up and use different products at different times? I'm just really getting irritated with my skin not being able to stick with a product that will always work. I'm trying to come up with something that will help this situation but wanted to know what you guys think? Should I try using different products?...maybe proactive in the morning, a SA wash at night, and exposed acne treatment the next day or 2 days? something like that? please give me your opinion. thanks!
