20 Questions

Saw someone do this and gave an open tag and I'm bored at work so guess what I'm doing.

1. How many works do you have on AO3? 28

2. Whats your total AO3 word count? 538,006

3. What fandoms do you write for? Currently, Julie and the Phantoms and Bridgerton. In the past I've also written Harry Potter (obligatory fuck JKR), 9-1-1, Teen Wolf, etc.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

don't you know you've got the best of me? - 6,314

so just give me one more night - 2,606

every piece of you (it just fits perfectly) - 1,188

and even better, i get to be the other half of you - 770

i didn't wanna believe that i could lose you - 750

5. Do you respond to comments? Unfortunately, not typically. I used to, but I was putting so much effort in to responding and it just took a lot out of me.

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? Hands down don't you know you've got the best of me?. I strongly believe in HEA and all my fics will have one, however, dykygtbom is more of a bittersweet ending?? It's still a happy ending, but there's a lot of darkness in there as well.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? ... All of them?? As I said, HEA is my thing, and I don't really skimp on them. If you pressed me for an answer, I'd probably say give me something to hold on to, SOLELY because we see some of the happy ending that is simply implied in others. Like, we see the proposal, the wedding, their kids, etc. So probably that one, but like. My other fics don't not have a happy ending.

8. Do you get hate on fics? I've gotten exactly one comment that I'd classify as a "hate" comment, but I've seen people hate on my fics in other places outside of my comments. So like... yes but no?

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? I do not! If I want to indicate a sex scene, it will be a fade to black.

10. Do you write crossovers? I do not! It's nothing I'm against and I won't say I'll never write one.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? Yes, a few times. Mostly people reposting my fics onto WattPad.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? Someone recently asked if they could translate dykygtbom! So in process, I guess?

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? Once! life is not a love song we can try I also haven't technically co-written with them, but @willexmagic and @hufflebibin have been involved in a lot of plotting for my more recent Willex fics, like mob au.

14. What's your all-time favorite ship? This question is illegal actually, didn't you know? Top 5 are:

Penelope/Colin (Bridgerton)

Fred/Hermione (Harry Potter (obligatory fuck JKR))

Willie/Alex (Julie and the Phantoms)

Ben/Leslie (Parks & Rec)

Percy/Annabeth (Percy Jackson and the Olympians)

And it was hard narrowing it down to those. :( Also yes I am a friends to lovers truther.

15. What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you will? Honestly... it depends? Right now I'd probably say MLB au for Willex. I want to finish that so badly, but I just haven't had the steam for it. There are other Willex fics I'll definitely be finishing��mechanic au, mob au, etc—but MLB au is just so long, so I'll just have to see how it plays out.

16. What are your writing strengths? Texting. /j (No but actually the amount of comments I have gotten in my fics that have complimented the texting/soc med elements that I include is actually really cool.) I'm often told I'm good at characterization and voices!

17. What are your writing weaknesses? I feel like I can really struggle with pacing. Also knowing where to put hands.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? Have you ever read Gallagher Girls by Ally Carter? They sometimes speak different languages in those books, but the internal thoughts translate for you. Not like word for word, but like, say someone asked "What did you do on summer vacation?" the internal monologue would kind of paraphrase that and while you might not know exactly what was said, you're given insight into what is being said. I rarely use different languages, but when I do, that's the technique I use.

19. First fandom you wrote for? The fics no longer exist, but Maximum Ride. Yeah, I've been around the block a few times.

20. Favorite fic you've written? give me something to hold on to. It's my most honest, real, human fic. So much went into that fic and it's the one I'm most proud of.

Tagging anyone and everyone who wants to do this!

Gratis vasectomieën bij UNR | Leslie Greenberg’s Blog

Drugtext.nl – Informatief over drugs, medicijnen en gezondheid klachten

https://ift.tt/2xDDGDP Welke foto had je verwacht?

Gratis vasectomieën bij UNR. Yep! U leest dat goed.

De universiteit als Nevada Reno School of Medicine (UNRSOM) mannen (ouder dan 18 jaar) biedt die permanente sterilisatie een gratis vasectomie willen.

UNRSOM staat bekend om het aanbieden van gratis clinicdagen via de Student Outreach Clinic (SOC). De SOC heeft medische studenten die patiënten zien met het toezicht op volwaardige artsen. De gratis vasectomies zullen worden gedaan door een erkende arts met UNRSOM medische studenten observeren en bijstaan.

Een vasectomie is een kleine poliklinische procedure die voorkomt dat het sperma het sperma bereikt. Vasectomieën duren tussen de 15 en 45 minuten om te presteren en kosten vaak $ 500 tot $ 3000. Vasectomie is een zeer effectieve anticonceptie-optie (99% effectief) die permanent is, minder dan een uur duurt en (in dit geval) gratis is!

Ik zou zeggen dat dit een win-winsituatie is voor lokale mannen die permanente steriliteit verlangen.

Wat moeten mannen na een vasectomie verwachten?

Ze moeten een chauffeur hebben en iemand die kan helpen met taken (rijden en zwaar tillen).

Ik stel voor om de komende 2-3 dagen te rusten.

Breng af en toe een ijspak aan op het ondergoed en verminder zwelling en dus ongemak.

Baad niet gedurende 24 tot 48 uur na de procedure om de kleine incisieplaatsen te laten genezen.

De geslachtsgemeenschap kan na een week worden hervat, maar verwacht geboortebeperking te gebruiken totdat de sperma-analyse na 3 maanden is uitgevoerd (en ongeveer 20 ejaculaties na de vasectomie om de kanalen van sperma te zuiveren) nadat de procedure GEEN sperma heeft laten zien. Geen levend sperma en geen afgestorven sperma (want waren de dode spermacellen werkelijk levend onmiddellijk na de ejaculatie ?!).

Wanneer de seks wordt hervat, moet het mannetje zich niet anders voelen dan voorheen. Vasectomie heeft geen invloed op het libido. Er is geen verband tussen vasectomie en prostaat- of zaadbalkanker of hartaandoeningen. Er zal ejaculaat zijn, alleen geen sperma in de zaadvloeistof. Nogmaals, een win-win.

Trail runners throw down the gauntlet at Stage One of the AfricanX Trailrun

“Let Nature Give You A Run For Your Money”

Team K-Way Wintergreen’s Bernard Rukadza and AJ Calitz dominated Stage One of the 10th annual AfricanX Trailrun presented by ASICS at Jonkershoek on Friday, 27 April 2018.

Running their 3rd AfricanX Trailrun together as a team, Rukadza and Calitz completed the 33km Stage in a well-deserved time of 02 hours 45 minutes 44 seconds.

“The stage was awesome,” said a very happy Rukadza . “Our plan was to sit with the guys until the top of a big hill and then make our move. That is what we did. This is the third time that AJ and I team up for AfricanX. He’s a great guy. We understand and learn a lot from each other. I really enjoy running with him.”

Seen here: Bernard Rukadza and AJ Calitz in action during Stage One of the AfricanX Trailrun presented by ASICS. Photo Credit: Tobias Ginsberg

“The game plan was always to keep up with Bernie,” laughs Calitz. “Everything went according to plan. We didn’t plan to win the stage though. I’ve always said that the winners of Stage One never win the race. I hope I’m wrong this time round. We took it relatively easy today, so we’re happy going into Stage Two. It’s great to be back in the mix again in the men’s race.”

Team #gearupgetout is #timetoplay’s Lucky Miya and Thabang Madiba came in 2nd, while Team Edunova’s Ben Matiso and Retshipile Khotla finished 3rd.

Nicolette Griffioen and Carla Van Huyssteen of Team KeyHealth Neverest / K-Way crossed the finish line first in the women’s race in a time of 03 hours 25 minutes 31 seconds.

“I thoroughly enjoyed today’s stage,” says Griffioen. “There was more single track than in previous years. I commend the event organisers on the venue change. Unfortunately Carla didn’t feel well today. We just kept pushing and hoped that we could hold onto the lead. We’ll see what tomorrow holds.”

According to Van Huyssteen, the trails were amazing. “Stage One was a nice, technical trail run. I battled today though, feeling nauseas from the start. As a result I just didn’t have the climbing legs. I am ready to fight another day though.”

Team Rehidrat’s Chantel Nienaber and Katya Soggot came in 2nd, while Team Tailwind Ladies’ Kate Mapham and Danette Smith finished 3rd.

The mixed team race was won by Team Crumb’s Daneil Feldmann and Davide del Fante in a time of 03 hours 40 minutes 40 seconds.

“This is my first AfricanX,” admits a very happy Feldmann. “We met last year when Davide was looking for a running partner to take on AfricanX. We didn’t take part that year though. We are now partners. Being able to take part together is really special.”

“The views were amazing today and the weather was perfect,” says del Fante. “We wanted to do well at AfricanX. Today everything went according to plan. We ran our own race and kept it steady. We’ll do the same tomorrow.”

Team Gauteng Diesel Engines’ Takalani and Mazu Ndandani came in 2nd, while Team ATS’ Leani Grimes and Jacques Buys finished 3rd.

The AfricanX Trailrun requires teams of two runners (male/female/mixed) to battle it out on a route that varies in distance between 20km - 36km each day. Teamwork and endurance is put to the test.

11 things you’ll only understand if you study law at the University of Warwick

Everyone remembers the tort law banana lecture

Image via Instagram (@kawakamiiyu)

With freshers’ week in full swing, one Warwick student shares 11 things you’ll only understand if you study law study at the top Russell Group university.

1. None of your lectures are actually in the law school

Despite the shiny ‘Warwick Law School’ sign and the attractive exterior, the law school does not actually have any lecture theatres. Your lectures might be anywhere from maths to chemistry, where ever will fit the 300+ students for core modules. But at least this means you know your way around campus quickly as a fresher.

2. That tort law banana lecture

If you know, you know.

3. Law students get possessive over floor four of the library

Image via Instagram (@runninglauren)

Floor four of the library is the law floor. Unlike all other social sciences, which are grouped together on level five, we are important enough to deserve our own floor. This can make us slightly protective and possessive over use of floor four by other subjects. Despite the fact people can study on any level. And despite floor four being shared with education, government publications and statistics.

4. The second hand book sale is

Every year law soc organises a second hand book sale, meaning you can get some reduced price textbooks. This all seems great, until you realise you’re 5ft 2 and struggle to open heavy doors, let alone carry ten textbooks back to your halls or, worse, on the U1 back to Leamington.

5. People regularly turn up to lectures in full business suits

It seems weird, but it is never questioned.

6. Law Soc has got your back

With the twice a week emails reminding you of everything law-related, from careers to the law ball, law soc makes sure you’re not missing out. Plus they seem to have an endless supply of food at every event.

7. Reading week is never as productive as you hope

You’re probably the only non-BA subject to get a reading week, which instantly makes all other non-BA subjects jealous. You begin reading week hoping to catch up with the 1000s of pages you haven’t read, and finish the week having read about 200 pages because of the five essays you were set. Every term is the same.

8. Everyone loves Claire Leslie

Image via Twitter (@griffithsleslie)

Throughout your law degree this wonderful woman will consistently be there to remind you of the reason you’re there: your career. She is a guiding light to law students, and appointments to see her get taken quicker than Glastonbury tickets on release day. If you manage your whole time at Warwick without speaking to her you’re really missing out.

9. The law hub is a mysterious place

Nobody tells you about this place and it’s almost like a secret of the law school until your second year. It’s a study area for law students, but with sofas and more comfortable chairs. And quite often there’s careers events, meaning there’s often stuff happening and going for free if you’re there at the right time.

10. Choosing your modules is a big deal

From second year onwards you choose your modules, which is the biggest academic decision you’ve made since A-levels. Second year the choice is massive, but you realise by third year that second time around there isn’t so much you want to do. Everyone tells you to take business school modules. Whatever you choose, you still have the impeding doom of trusts in final year.

11. It’s the quirks that make it

As weird and wonderful as it is, and whether it was your first choice or not, Warwick ends up being where you belong. You love it for its best parts and its more unusual, and there’s nowhere else you would really want to be studying your degree.

Amy Clarke is a law student at the University of Warwick.

Want to tell readers what it’s like studying law at your university? Get in touch.

Un articol nou a fost publicat pe http://www.glumazilei.tk/7-afectiuni-curente-ce-explica-starea-de-devitalizare/

7 AFECTIUNI curente ce explica starea de DEVITALIZARE

„Aveam impresia ca am fost golita de toata viata din mine“, marturiseste Leslie Pitcher. O senzatie neobisnuita pentru aceasta englezoaica de 41 de ani, care de obicei este in forma si cu o sanatate foarte buna. In 2010, Leslie, mama celibatara din Blackpool, si-a consultat in mai multe randuri medicul, care nu a gasit nimic anormal. Apoi au aparut si alte probleme: rigiditatea articulatiilor, cresterea in greutate, tulburari emotionale. „Simteam o lipsa permanenta de energie“, isi aminteste ea.

Dr. Rupal Shah, medic generalist din sudul Londrei, Marea Britanie, ne spune ca oboseala se numara printre motivele cele mai frecvente de consult. Daca ne simtim obositi fara niciun motiv aparent, este indicat sa consultam medicul. „In majoritatea cazurilor, oboseala este legata de dispozitia emotionala si de acumularea unor mici stari conflictuale, explica Dr. Shah. Medicul dumneavoastra va va asigura ca nu este nimic grav. Simplul fapt de a auzi aceasta este linistitor. Daca exista un aspect patologic care se afla la originea acestei oboseli, cu cat va fi luat mai devreme in considerare, cu atat va fi mai bine.“

1. HIPOTIROIDIA In ianuarie 2012, la capatul puterilor, Leslie Pitcher s-a hotarat sa mearga la medic. Acesta i-a cerut sa-si faca analize complete de sange, care au scos in evidenta o hipotiroidie: tiroida sa, mica glanda din zona gatului care produce hormoni specifici, secreta cantitati insuficiente de tiroxina pentru a-i permite organismului sa regleze ritmul cardiac, presiunea sanguina si temperatura trupului si sa converteasca hrana in energie. Rezultatul: oboseala si epuizare. Leslie Pitcher a inceput imediat un tratament naturist bazat pe plante. Astazi, greutatea ei este stabila, articulatiile ei nu mai sunt rigide, iar senzatia de oboseala permanenta este de domeniul trecutului. Daca ne simtim obositi mai tot timpul si starea dureaza de peste o saptamana, si daca acest simptom este insotit de altele, precum cresterea in greutate, constipatie, incetinirea metabolismului si letargie generalizata este indicat sa cerem medicului sa ne examineze tiroida, ne sfatuieste Dr. Kristien Boelaert, endocrinolog consultant la universitatea din Birmingham. Oboseala este simptomul cel mai des intalnit in cazul unei insuficiente tiroidiene. In absenta tratamentului, afectiunea se poate agrava.“

2. INSUFICIENTA CARDIACA „In primavara anului 2014, cand tocmai implineam 41 de ani, am inceput sa ma simt epuizat. Nu aveam decat o singura dorinta: sa ma intorc la somn“, explica Kjell Mathiassen. Director al unui spital din Sandnes, Norvegia, Kjell nu putea sa-si explice starea in care se afla. Mare sportiv, el juca inainte volei si fotbal, ii placea sa alerge pana la capatul puterilor cu cei doi fii ai sai, debordand de energie. Dar peste foarte putin timp, simplul fapt de a se da jos din pat pentru a merge sa-si plimbe cainele ii cerea eforturi supraomenesti.

Colegii sai medici l-au sfatuit sa se destinda, sa renuntela efort. Nu s-a gandit sa faca analize de sange. In timpul verii, Kjell a observat ca starea sa de oboseala se agrava. Apoi a inceput sa se ingrase si sa se simta extenuat la cel mai mic efort. „Nu mai puteam. In septembrie, mi-am facut la spital analize complete de sange.“ Rezultatele, plus electrocardiograma realizata ulterior, au aratat serioase probleme cardiace. „Atunci cand am aflat vestea, am simtit ca sunt distrus“, isi aminteste Kjell Mathiassen. Inima lui era marita (cardiomegalie) si nu functiona decat la 13% din potentialul ei, fapt care explica oboseala lui. Medicii i-au prescris un tratament naturist si, cateva luni mai tarziu, inima functiona la 50 % din capacitatea sa, un procentaj mai bun. Astazi, el duce o viata normala. „Oboseala este o caracteristica a insuficientei cardiace“, explica Kenneth Dickstein, profesor de medicina la universitatea din Bergen, in Norvegia. El continua: „Incapacitatea de a indeplini sarcinile cotidiene sau intoleranta fata de exercitiile fizice sunt adesea descrise de catre medici ca fiind oboseala. Este important sa recunoastem ceea ce ar putea fi primul simptom al unei insuficiente cardiace si sa mergem imediat la medic pentru un consult adecvat.“

Kjell Mathiassen si-a reluat apoi viata normala. „Aceasta m-a invatat cat este de important sa fii vigilent in cazul unei inrautatiri a starii de sanatate, ne marturiseste el. Nu sunt pregatit sa-i parasesc pe ai mei.“

3. INTOLERANTA LA GLUTEN Marie-Christine Dubois, infirmiera franceza de 54 de ani, avea de un timp senzatia ca i se scurge toata energia din trup, fara ca nimeni sa-i poata explica de ce. „Cand eram copil imi placea foarte mult sportul, dar oboseam mereu mai repede decat ceilalti, isi aminteste Marie-Christine. La 11 ani, eram atat de epuizata dupa o saptamana de scoala incat imi petreceam weekend-urile recuperarandu-ma.“

Marie-Christine se plangea de asemenea de dureri de stomac si de diaree. La sfarsitul adolescentei, medicul ei de familie s-a gandit ca oboseala se datora unei anemii. In consecinta, i-a prescris comprimate cu fier, care insa nu au facut decat sa-i inrautateasca durerile de stomac. Apoi, pe la varsta de douazeci de ani, ea a suferit de probleme imunitare, pe care le-a pus mai intai pe seama oboselii sale inexplicabile, iar mai tarziu pe seama stresului. Nimeni nu s-a gandit atunci ca alimentatia ei obisnuita– ce includea paine – putea fi la originea acestei stari de oboseala. In acea vreme, intoleranta la gluten, numita si maladie celiaca, o boala autoimuna datorata reactiei intestinului la gluten, era necunoscuta.

Apoi, in 2001, la 41 de ani, ea a consultat un medic din spitalul in care lucra. Acesta i-a prescris un test simplu de intoleranta la gluten. Unii pacienti prezinta simptome comparabile cu cele ale maladiei celiace, dar testele sunt negative. In acest caz, poate fi vorba despre o sensibilitate la gluten, chiar daca nu atat de grava ca maladia celiaca. Testul pe care l-a facut Marie-Christine Dubois a aratat ca in cazul ei era vorba chiar despre aceasta boala. „Plecand de aici, totul a devenit limpede, spune ea. In carnetul meu de sanatate se vede ca atunci cand eram bebelus, diareele au inceput odata cu introducerea cerealelor in alimentatia mea. Este evident ca eram intoleranta la gluten de la nastere.“

„Devitalizarea si oboseala sunt unele dintre simptomele cele mai obisnuite ale intolerantei la gluten, explica Dr. Anneli Ivarson, profesor asociat la Universitatea din Umea, Suedia. Daca sunteti epuizat sau lipsit de energie consultati medicul ca sa va faca analize. Nu excludeti din proprie initiativa glutenul din alimentatia voastra. Cereti sfatul unei persoane competente. Boala celiaca este o boala cronica, iar glutenul trebuie sa fie eliminat progresiv.“ „Mi-am transformat in multe privinte alimentatia“, ne explica Marie-Christine Dubois, „iar acum duc o viata normala“.

4. SINDROMUL OBOSELII CRONICE (SOC) Sabine Badge, in varsta de 52 de ani, directoare a unei gradinite din Hattingen, Germania, era o femeie foarte energica si dinamica in relatia cu tinerii ei elevi. In toamna lui 2002, a inceput sa aiba dureri musculare inexplicabile si o stare de oboseala extrema.

„Dintr-o data, eram total epuizata, fara niciun motiv, explica Sabine. Uneori, aveam de asemenea simptome ca acelea de gripa.“ Timp de peste un an, ea a consultat diferiti medici si s-a supus unei serii de examinari clinice: analize de sange si de urina facute, mai ales pentru a detecta eventuale probleme tiroidiene si boala Lyme. Testele respective au permis excluderea unor patologii din multele care ar fi putut fi cauza problemelor de sanatate ale Sabinei. La sfarsitul anului 2003, diagnosticul era pus: sindromul de oboseala cronica (SOC).

„SOC este foarte dificil de diagnosticat, avand in vedere ca nu exista o analiza specifica care sa o evidentieze si ca pacientii pot avea o multime de simptome diferite“, precizeaza Carmen Scheibenbogen, profesor de imunologie si vice-presedinte al Institutului de imunologie medicala de la spitalul Caritatii din Berlin. Sabine Badge, de exemplu, sufera de asemenea de fibromialgie si de polisensibilitate chimica care fac ca SOC sa fie greu de depistat. „Este o problema si faptul ca multi medici cunosc foarte putin SOC, recunoaste Carmen Scheibenbogen. Cauza acestei boli ramane necunoscuta. Adesea, ea incepe ca o reactie la diverse infectii.“

De sase ani, Sabine Badge este tratata de medici specialisti in medicina ortomoleculara, care i-au prescris anumite doze crescute de vitamine, de oligoelemente si de hormoni. In fiecare zi, ea trebuie sa ia vitamina B12, vitamina C, magneziu, acizi grasi omega 3 si injectii cu acetilcisteina si glutation.

„Ma simt mai bine, dar simptomele nu dispar niciodata in intregime, precizeaza Sabine, acum in varsta de 64 de ani si aflata la pensie. M-am inscris intr-un grup de sustinere al persoanelor atinse de SOC. Impartasim informatii despre noile tratamente si medicamente. Acest fapt m-a ajutat foarte mult.“

5. DEPRESIA In urma cu 10 ani, Hanna Lilius, din Pirkanmaa, Finlanda, in varsta de 46 de ani, de profesie secretara, a inceput sa simta o stare de melancolie. Putin cate putin, au aparut si alte simptome: plangea des, uita lucruri, era iritabila fata de familie. Si era incontinuu foarte obosita. „Chiar si problemele minore imi pareau imposibil de depasit“, isi aminteste ea.

Starea de oboseala asociata si cu alte simptome i-au afectat activitatea profesionala si viata familiala. Cand medicul ei a diagnosticat-o cu depresie, in 2013, acest fapt a surprins-o. „Nu stiam ca oboseala este un simptom al depresiei.“

Incepand cu aceasta data si pana in primavara lui 2014, Hanna a consultat un psiholog si un psihiatru in cadrul unui program adaptat nevoilor ei. Medicii au considerat ca trebuie sa ia o pauza pentru vindecare si i-au prescris anumite tratamente antidepresive.

„In final, gratie odihnei si a tratamentelor, am putut sa-mi reiau munca in noiembrie anul trecut. Astazi sunt mult mai bine.“ „Depresia presupune manifestarea a numeroase fatete, cu simptome variabile, explica dr. Seppo Hietanen, psihiatru la centrul medical Mehilainen din Helsinki. Oboseala este unul dintre simptomele insidioase ale depresiei. Din fericire, putem sa le prescriem pacientilor tratamentele necesare pentru a le permite sa-si reia activitatea si sa aiba din nou o viata normala.“

6. APNEEA CE APARE LA UNELE FIINTE UMANE IN TIMPUL SOMNULUI Atunci cand am inceput sa simt o oboseala intensa in urma cu mai bine de 20 de ani, eram nelinistit, v-a puteti imagina, caci sunt sofer de autobuz in Goteborg, povesteste Meir Ivgi, un suedez de 55 de ani. Adormind, aveam impresia ca ma sufoc, ceea ce ma facea sa intru in panica si ma trezeam. Am consultat nenumarati medici, dar niciunul dintre ei nu a gasit ce aveam.“ In 1994, Meir Ivgi si-a facut o operatie de scoatere a amigdalelor, fapt ce i-a imbunatatit starea de sanatate timp de un an. Apoi problemele au revenit. Trei ani mai tarziu, un medic l-a trimis intr-o clinica specializata in probleme legate de somn, unde a petrecut o noapte sub observatie. Diagnosticul pe care medicii i l-au pus a fost apnee in timpul somnului. Medicul specialist Jan Hedner de la spitalul universitar Sahlgrenska, precizeaza: „Atunci cand un pacient care sufera de apnee in timpul somnului doarme, caile sale respiratorii superioare se infunda regulat, privandu-l de un somn profund si regenerator.“

Cu toate acestea, problema nu a fost considerata la acea vreme suficient de grava pentru a-i prescrie o masca respiratorie, ce consta intr-un dispozitiv care creste presiunea aerului in gat pentru a impiedica producerea colapsului cailor respiratorii ale pacientului in timpul somnului.

„Oboseala permanenta pe care o resimteam avea un impact considerabil asupra vietii mele de zi cu zi. Trebuia sa dorm din ce in ce mai mult, dar aceasta nu ma ajuta cu adevarat, precizeaza Meir Ivgi. Situatia mea nu au incetat sa se inrautateasca.“ In final, Meir Ivgi a aflat ca la spitalul universitar din Sahlgrenska avea sa fie efectuat un studiu referitor la apneea din timpul somnului. El s-a oferit voluntar ca sa participe. Aici a putut sa probeze o masca respiratorie, pe care a purtat-o de atunci inainte in fiecare noapte. „Dorm de un milion de ori mai bine ca inainte. Calitatea vietii mele s-a imbunatatit si nu ma mai tem ca voi adormi la volan“, explica Meir.

7. ANEMIA In urma cu 8 ani, Larry Rainey si sotia sa Elaine si-au vandut casa din Markham, un cartier marginas din Toronto, pentru a se instala intr-o casuta rustica, inconjurata de mesteceni, stejari si artari din apropierea orasului Virginia, Ontario. Sotia sa si cu el adora viata in sanul naturii. Insa in noiembrie 2013, el a inceput sa se simta obosit aparent fara niciun motiv. „Era suficient sa urc cateva scari ca sa nu mai am suflu. Sa urc un deal imi era aproape imposibil“, spune el. Oboseala il impiedica pe Larry sa taie lemne pentru iarna si sa realizeze cele o mie si una de sarcini necesare intretinerii casei. In aprilie 2014, in cadrul unor examinari de rutina, analizele sale de sange au indicat o anemie feripriva: procentul de fier din sange era insuficient pentru a produce hemoglobina, substanta din globulele rosii care contribuie la circulatia oxigenului in trup. Medicul i-a indicat lui Larry sa consume alimente bogate in fier, cum ar fi spanacul, sfecla rosie. La sfaturile medicului sau, el a inceput de asemenea sa ia polen crud, laptisor de matca, suplimente de fier, vitamina B12. „Exista mai mult de 100 de tipuri de anemii, explica Marianne de Bretan-Berg, infirmiera si coordonatoare a programului Patient Blood Management din Ontario. Carentele in fier pot provoca diverse simptome cum ar fi oboseala.“ De indata ce procentul sau de fier in sange a revenit la normal, Larry Rainey si-a regasit vitalitatea. „Cu siguranta, am mult mai multa energie, spune el. Nu mai am nicio problema in a face plimbari lungi in natura” A avea un somn odihnitor, a manca sanatos, a ne asculta trupul si nevoile lui este ceva necesar pentru o viata buna. Pe langa informatiile legate de starea sanatatii noastre, starile repetate de devitalizare ne ofera sansa de a reflecta asupra limitelor si a sensului vietii noastre. Sursa: amnromania.ro
