When a Doctor Treats You Bad While Youre Hospitalized Who Do You Go To?
Question by Sookie: When a doctor treats you bad while youre hospitalized who do you go to?
I’m hospitalized right now, I have Crohn’s disease and I just had surgery a little over 2 weeks ago… I went to the hospital because I haven’t been able to keep food down, and I’m still having pretty bad pain in my stomach. Since I’ve had crohns since I was 8, I’m now 22, I know what works for pain, for me it’s 2mg of dilaudid and 50mg of benadryl because all pain meds gets me super itchy. Anyways… The attending isn’t the same doctor from last time I was hospitalized. They ran tests, CT scan, blood tests, etc, and found nothing wrong. So, they automatically felt like I’m addicted to pain meds (even before they found the results the ER nurse was already treating me like a druggie. It has made me feel so uncomfortable… I’m not making things up… I’m in pain and I throw up everything I eat (note: pain meds have never made me feel nauseas or anything and I dont take pain meds at home because I can’t tolerate oral pain meds they are too strong). Today I have been in a lot of pain, and the attending doctor which know nothing of my case except just reading my chart (she’s internal medicine), told me she is cutting off dilaudid, I think GI or colorectal surgery should be the attending physician because they at least know more about me. What can I do for feeling like I’m being mistreated? Is there a way to scare my attending by letting her know I will report her mistreatment to some agency or something?? Is there such an agency or anything?? Please help!!
What Cures Shingles?
Question by PERK: What cures shingles?
Best answer:
Answer by kkcoconut
Treatment for Shingles
Antiviral Medication (such as acyclovir, valacyclovir, and famciclovir): For most patients with shingles, oral antiviral medication should be prescribed for 7 days. The earlier this medication is taken, the better the chance of stopping the virus from causing more damage to the nerves. Early treatment with antiviral medication can lessen the intensity and duration of shingles pain (but, as mentioned above, there is no definite proof that these medications will stop the patient from getting PHN). Once the rash has healed, the patient should stop taking antiviral medication.
Steroids(such as prednisone): Some studies have shown that early treatment with a short course (usually 1-2 weeks) of steroids can decrease the intensity and duration of pain associated with acute shingles.

Leaky Gut/Autism and Dairy/Wheat?
Question by Brown: Leaky Gut/Autism and Dairy/Wheat?
Hello, I have recently found out about the (supposed) effects of casein and gluten on autistic children and I had a few questions regarding this. Any help would be greatly appreciated and swiftly rewarded with the best answer. 😛
There is apparently some tie between leaky gut and the opiate effects associated with gluten and casein. Are people that DON’T HAVE leaky gut syndrome effected by the opiates? If so, how? I can’t find a clear cut answer. Do regular, everyday people feel the effects of these opiates or is it only people with leaky gut? How much wheat or dairy would I need to ingest to feel these effects? What are the effects of casein/gluten?
Please, I would love some clear, understandable answers, thanks.

Tramadol is a non narcotic pain medication that can act similar to narcotic pain medications. This can possibly help you wean off the Vicodin.

She needs pain medication for pain, but is now hooked. Is there any other non-narcotic pain med that will provide relief?

Answer by Billie77
When a person is addicted to a narcotic, they will not feel pain relief from a non narcotic medicine. if your friend is willing to talk to her medical doctor openly, the doctor can form a program to get her off of the heavy drugs and into something that is not narcotic. It’s going to take a doctor and perhaps a pain relief clinic to help your friend. Physical therapy is very important in dealing with pain.
