Hello, I'm Josaphat from Madagascar. My first symptom for Behçet disease appeared in Mars 2020. I had sores in my mouth. After that It started to appear my genital.

“If a patient’s blood oxygenation level continues to deteriorate despite non-invasive efforts, such as an oxygen mask, then invasive mechanical ventilation becomes the only option of treatment,” explains Prof.

Hello this is my first time posting so be kind. I have MS and have been prescribed Klor-Con M20 potassium as a result of diarrhea. Now I am having Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN) events sometimes 3-times per day and as you know if you have had them they hurt. I read somewhere that a person said to avoid bananas

I’m extremely vulnerable being on oxygen and non invasive ventilation but sod that when my husband needs help. He went to hospital checked and sent home with antibiotics where later on he promptly collapsed again.

So I went to get blood work done today because I started 25mg Synthroid (brand name) two weeks ago but because I have been experiencing runs of NSVT (not SVT) and slower than normal heart rate (in the 50s) they wanted to repeat it. They also had me stop the Synthroid yesterday until we figure it out

We found that patients with prior use of ⍺ 1- AR antagonists had 12.9% lower incidence of mechanical ventilation compared to non-users (OR = 0.86, 95% CI 0.78-0.95, p = 0.002; AOR = 0.83, 95% CI 0.75-0.92, p < 0.001).

It’s open to those who have non invasive ventilation (NIV) or someone who cares for someone who had NIV treatment. Here’s the link https://www.facebook.com/groups/79190966928/?ref=share I have been given permission from BLF to post this. Thank you
