Catamenial pneumothorax is a condition of collapsed lung occurring in conjunction with menstrual periods (catamenial refers to menstruation), believed to be caused primarily by endometriosis of the pleura (the membrane surrounding the lung). Catamenial Pneumothorax is the most common form of thoracic endometriosis syndrome, which also includes catamenial hemothorax, catamenial hemoptysis and endometriosis lung nodules, as well as some exceptional presentations.

Sounds like he could have a hidden bacterial infection which could be treated with anti-biotics. This is a recent discovery over the past decades.

Ataraxia - Slevin says this is a condition characterized by an inability to feel fear, worry, or preoccupation.  According to Wikipedia (that wonderful source of info!), this isn't a recognized mental condition.  More likely, Slevin's character is educated enough to know that this is an ancient Greek term for the level of consciousness one must achieve before reaching hedonism (total pleasure).  If hedonism for Slevin means getting to tortuously murder the men who destroyed his family, then it's fair to suggest that he is one dark hero!  What a cool movie, though.  And yeah, I wish I had that disease, too.  Does it come with all the quirky comebacks??  That would be AWESOME!

That is really up to the hemodyalisis doc'. Each case is different. They usually try to hold off as long as possible because you can't  just stop once you start.

Go with her to her next medical appointment and discuss your concerns with her physician. Also, I would talk to other family members who maybe can watch her and see if they agree with your assessment. If they do you can work together to get her help.\n\nDementia is a really difficult problem because the person suffering from it rarely believes they have a problem. \n\nStrength in numbers!

Deane,\n\nI am single and have systemic lupus. It causes pain and fatigue that come and go, and you never know when you just can't stand or walk anymore. I lost both my jobs because of it. It is hard when people ask what "you do." I now answer, I am a human "being" not a human "doing." \n\nWhen our identity is wrapped up in what we do, and then what we do is taken away there is a period of grieving. All the stages of grieving for a dead person come into play, but we are here and grieving for who we used to be. Truth is, we are the same person. And everyone is going to face physical detioration and death. We just got to do it a little earlier. So be angry and sad and hopeless. Then try changing how you think. I am not saying be a Polyanna and say, "OOOOOOOOOO I am so glad I have this and I don't have leprosy!" That is just silly. But begin to focus on what you can still do.\n\nAs far as relationships go, I believe it is best to be upfront about your physical limitations. And as you begin to enjoy your own company again, others will too. Please consider looking for a support group. If you go to one and it does not work for you, go to another one. Not all groups are created equal. \n\nYou have a life, you just have to claim it. After all the grieving and wallowing and cursing and swearing that we do, and we all do it, there is a time to transform our lives. Cure is absence of disease or deformity. Healing is being at peace with yourself right where you are. You may not get cured, but you can heal. Good luck to you.

Actually it sounds like schizophrenia. They should trying doing a civil committment. All they need to do is contact the county mental health department and tell them what is going on. They can lock him up and do an evaluation, then they would go before a judge. If the judge finds that the person is a danger to himself or others they can force him to recieve treatment and he won't be able to check himself out.

Lots of things are possible here.  Any of the body's systems could be out of whack.  With just this information, the differential diagnosis is a huge list!\n\nIn screening patients for cancer, diabetes, infections, heart troubles, many answer with these symptoms.\n\nIn order to get to the bottm of these symptoms, go to a doctor, talk with him or her, have a physical exam and tests as indicated by the interaction.

Burke's disease is a term coined by George Frazier to refer to successful people exagerating their past successes.  I'm pretty sure it's not an actual medical condition :)

I was discharged from the Navy with a condition that they never fully determined.  They ran a few tests and ruled out a lot of things but they could never find anything that included all of my symptoms.  I looked up the symptoms of Sarcoidosis and I have almost all of them.  I am going to go to my specialist ASAP and see if that could be the mystery disease.
