My diagnosis forced me to become incredibly responsible at a young age because of how serious my disease is. I am an incredibly responsible person to this day because my survival has been and still is dependent on my management of my diabetes. My diabetes has helped me to become a much healthier person, as I now truly know what it means and what it takes for me to be healthy. I have also learned a remarkable amount about how strong I am due to this disease. I have been through so much because of this disease, including numerous near-death experiences, and the fact that I have survived it all proves my strength. Over the years, I have come to learn that, while diabetes is a large part of my life, it is not the only thing about me. This realization has allowed me to push past any fears that I have had because of my diagnosis, and focus on what I know I can do rather than focusing on all of the things I am unable to do. This is, in my own personal opinion, the most important thing that I have realized about my disease, because it has helped me realize that I want to inspire others and show everyone that my disease does not and will never limit my

Marcy is a 34-year-old female here today with her daughter for a followup regarding her chest pain and GERD. The patient tells me following her last evaluation on July 1st, she did take the Nexium as was recommended. She was taking 40 mg for about a month. She said that worked very well. Her symptoms lessened and ultimately resolved. However, when she ran out of the Nexium, the symptoms are back again. She feels a pain in the lower sternum area, as well as in the upper epigastric area and was relieved when it went away with the Nexium. She has not continued to take it and wonders what she should do next. She is eating and drinking normally. She did try to cut back on dairy as she initially thought that might be related, but found that was not the case and now has that back in her diet. She is up three pounds since I last saw her and is at her highest weight that I have in the office. She is having no nausea, no vomiting. No early satiety. There is no diarrhea. No constipation. No blood in the stool. No melena. She wonders what the next step should be. She does tell me that when she was talking with her family, her mother has had an ulcer and her sister has been diagnosed with "stress ulcers" in the past.

To begin, there would be several different ways to diagnosis acute gastroenteritis. Aftab and Churgay (2012) discuss how they would define diarrhea as having three or more water or loose stools in a 24-hour period, which is seen in this patient. Then the diarrhea would be noninflammatory due to it not having any blood or mucus in it along with having no fever present. Aftab and Churgay (2012) would include history such as “how often the child is urinating and having bowel movements, whether vomiting is interfering with the child's ability to keep down fluids and solid food, the duration of illness, the nature of the stools (e.g., whether

It is quite common to see a delayed walking age with first steps being taken at around eighteen months. Once a boy with DMD is walking he may fall readily. He often has difficulty climbing (stairs for example), difficulty running and jumping, and he may develop a ‘waddling’ gait. Classic symptoms include enlargement (hypertrophy) of the calf muscles, which occurs in about 90% of cases. He may develop a tendency to walk on his toes and this is often accompanied by a protruding abdomen and sway-backed stance, called ‘lordosis’. He may experience difficulty getting up from the floor without help, he may use his hands to climb up his legs for support – this is referred to as ‘Gowers sign’. These symptoms generally begin to
