for example if you are not sure weather or not this wound is rabies infected and you go to the doctor because it has been years for the wound to cure. will the doctors know that you are infected of rabies when symptoms have not appear. if so how would they do that?

There is no way that rabies takes more than a year to manifest itself with symptoms, Although know that rabies is only treatable BEFORE the symptoms show.

A blood test would show that you had contracted the rabies virus.

Like it or not, sickness often infects you and your friends. if a handful of people you know have the flu, chances are pretty high that you’ll come down with it too. it was inevitable, then, for the social side of illness tracking to make its way onto the Internet.

The most obvious manifestation of social sickness tracking can be seen with Sickweather, a new startup that mines data from Twitter, Facebook, and user input to show which illnesses are going around in your local area–and in your friend group. the service explains, “just as Doppler radar scans the skies for indicators of bad weather, Sickweather scans social networks for indicators of illness.”

Eventually, Sickweather hopes to track symptom keywords (i.e. “runny nose,” and “cough”), but for now it’s focusing on simpler terms like “pneumonia” and bronchitis.” Illnesses are shown on a map, and in future versions, users will be able to track sicknesses via cell phone (new alert: stay away from Sarah, she’s super germy!).

Social sickness tracking can also be seen with Google’s Dengue Trends, a tracking tool for dengue feveroutbreaks that mines web search results from Brazil, Bolivia, India, Indonesia and Singapore to generate an early-warning system for outbreaks. Users won’t be able to see who exactly is searching for dengue fever symptoms, but they will know when an outbreak is headed their way. Google’s Flu Trends performs a similar purpose–and is probably more useful for people outside of dengue-heavy countries.

We can probably expect to see more initiatives like this in the future. Scientists recently discovered, for example, that weather forecasts can predict cholera outbreaks. so in the future, Google (or a service like HealthMap) could mash up weather predictions with symptom reports in cholera-prone areas for another kind of early warning system.

For now, though, tracking illness outbreaks via sites like Sickweather may be the simplest way to make sure you avoid coming down with a cold–or something worse.

I've looked into lockjaw, but I very doubt this is the case, since I am in Year 11, and we had our tetanus shots like, months and months ago in year 10. it most often is worse in the morning. Talking is fine, it's mainly when I eat it can get bad. and it's only on the left hand side. I have had no spasms in the neck or jaw, just to add cause I read into the lockjaw symptoms.

Any idea what's wrong?

I would also like to add it mainly started when the cold weather started.

Have you looked into TMJ? it is also known as Temporomandibular joint disorder. it can be caused by eating, stress and many other factors. maybe this can be the cause. Check more about this at slideshare.net/lesliewaler/tmj-help-treatment-options-for-tmj

Did you get hit in the jaw, or ate something hard?

Ok, my local doctor has carried out a full examination and gave me the all clear, but I still feel under the weather.

Are there any web services that help to diagnose?

yeah webmd.com is a good one also yourdignois.com(sp sry) are good and very detailed will ask u so many questions that ull probably get a better answer then ur doctor told u.. @ least in my case i havent gotten an answer to what i have in a year so occassionally with new things i refer to them and it keeps me to date!good luck and feel better

There is one player at Chelsea who has come to epitomise the health of the club’s title challenge more than any other in recent years and that is Didier Drogba.

For all of captain John Terry’s leadership qualities, it is the Ivory Coast international who provokes most fear in the club’s opponents with the manner in which he can bully defenders.

If the striker is firing on all cylinders the team’s fortunes tend to be on an upward curve.

Conversely, the side often suffer dips in form should he hit low points.

With the benefit of hindsight, it is no surprise that Chelsea’s woeful slump in form before Christmas, which triggered a measly collection of 10 points from 11 games, began the moment Drogba was diagnosed with malaria in November.

The illness isn’t contagious but, without their talisman in good working order, a different disease spread among his team-mates. they also seemed somewhat weaker and under the weather.

There appeared to be no cure for those symptoms as Chelsea suffered defeat after surprising defeat. however, one fearsome strike with Drogba’s right foot at the Reebok Stadium has provided the club’s championship challenge with the medicine they so desperately need. some signs of recovery had been spotted this month with successive wins at home against Ipswich and Blackburn but the goal which has sent a real message to the rest of the Premier League was Drogba’s 30-yard effort past a bewildered Jussi Jaaskelainen.

It not only put Carlo Ancelotti’s side on course to secure their first away win for three months, it generated a spark in the Blues’ play not seen for several weeks. While Drogba spent the rest of the game making a mockery of Gary Cahill’s ?20million price tag, suddenly Florent Malouda, Nicolas Anelka and Michael Essien looked like their old selves and raised their game, too.

Chelsea may have scored four but it could have been double that. Before Terry emerged out of the dressing room to give his usual battle cry following the final whistle, the team blasted upbeat songs out of a stereo loud enough for anyone in Manchester, let alone the Bolton dressing room, to hear.

As the players emerged, frowns had clearly been replaced by smiles. There is no doubt they are now looking up the table at leaders Manchester United rather than over their shoulders and the threat of Tottenham taking their Champions League place.

Many will argue they have left themselves with too much ground to make up, with Sir Alex Ferguson’s men having the chance to go 10 points clear if they beat Blackpool tonight.

Yet while Drogba’s malaise robbed them of their customary consistency, his renaissance now offers them renewed hope. As Terry said: “I think he is over the malaria now. I have never had it myself but speaking to people and the doctor here, it does knock you for six. fair play to him, he could have taken two months out but he never, he wanted to keep on fighting for the team.

“He knew we were lacking in options in the whole squad and he wanted to put his body on the line for the club. we really appreciate that.

“He has taken a bit of stick as we all have over the past few months but we have stayed together. we know that he is capable of goals like that, and many more. we are just encouraging him to shoot more and get the ball out of his feet. Our confidence, not just his, will get a lift and we’ll crack on. I think we all looked more like our old selves.”

There are more stiff tests to come, with a trip to Everton in the FA Cup on Saturday before Premier League matches at Sunderland and then home to Liverpool. It was defeats by the latter duo in November which first highlighted the extent of Chelsea’s problems, especially as an attacking force without Drogba being on song.

Still, the last time the former Marseille star suffered a quiet first half of the season in a Chelsea shirt, he almost singlehandedly fired them to the semi-finals of the Champions League in 2009.

Back then it was a knee injury, as well as an uneasy relationship with then boss Luiz Felipe Scolari, that kept him subdued, only to spark into life following Guus Hiddink’s arrival at Stamford Bridge as the new coach.

As it stands, the swerving effort which proved too good for Jaaskelainen last night was his 10th of the campaign, which isn’t bad by most forward’s standards, although not quite matching the pace he set last term when he finished with 37.

With Malouda and Anelka getting on the scoresheet once again last night, as well as Ramires netting his first since joining from Benfica in the summer, the squad are not looking so weak as many have claimed.

Indeed, with Frank Lampard expected to return from a calf problem – which caused him to sit out this match – at the weekend and David Luiz set to join from Benfica, coach Ancelotti appears to have good reason to be optimistic.

As Terry added: “Southern softies? People may have that impression but we’re not. you can see against Bolton that we can mix it with them.

“On their day Bolton can play very good football but when they do put it in the box we have people like Branislav Ivanovic, myself and Didier and we’re ready to fight, which is key as well.

“We’ll certainly see [if the belief is back] because we have some tough games coming up. “It is going to be a big test, we realise that, but we’re certainly up for the fight and we won’t give up.”

Thanks, But I dont eat fish so the bass, carp, or the cat fish dont have to be we did just have a cold front come thru but they stopped biting about a week I didn’t do to good in the everglades although I didn’t go there much. It’s just what I do. I hope this catfish fishing information. Hunger returns after about 48 hours, and the fishing improves markedly. Some may question whether this is the reason bass do not bite after a cold front. when a cold front moves through an area the fishing will often slow down, it would appear that the fish have completely stopped biting or gotten lock jaw. Muddy Waters and Catfish ? the best time to Catfish .

I hope this catfish fishing information. a lot of people just try anyplace that looks like it’d hold catfish but . I have caught a lot of flathead lately during and just after cold fronts move through. Then after the front is pretty much played out they quit biting shad.

OK, here's the deal. Let just say that the culprit is the bad/cold/stuffy weather and you wake up in the morning, either having unstoppable sneezing or runny nose (as if having flu). should you be constantly on pills or medication to get rid of the allergies? Or is there any other way to make the sneezing/flu stop?

There's the medicine, weekly shots, or you suffer. I'm the same way. I'm on medicine right now but i'm slowly growing out of my allergies.

if you're born allergic to it, then you can't do anything but to avoid it
if you're not born with it then a medicine will do, drink the medicine quickly when some symptoms come out so it will fight that borning virus

I just got my breast implant Feb 18 2010, and for a week now I have been itchy and sneezing, the weather has changed (i live in Ca) but I was never one to have bad allergies? so im concerned? van anyone give some advise?

I am looking forward to winter. Because downhill skiing allows me to sit alot, I’ve been able to continue this sport until last year. My right leg was too week for me to feel comfortable with turns.

This year, I have a new outlook. I’m lucky enough to enough to live in a skiing mecca and adaptive skiing lessons abound and I’m doing it.

It’s been a difficult few weeks with lots of painful spasticity. not sure if I can blame the weather, since it’s been in the 50s and 60s…I have heat sensitivity and live indoors in the summer…but the spasms are bad when it’s cold too.Just can’t win against this stupid disease sometimes…

Posted by Debbie from Naperville, IL

I can say that I live inside during the warmer months i love fall and winter and spring…. right now though i am having pain in my neck and shoulder muscles due to the cold snap. i also have ankylosing spondyolitis , they deffintly are at war in my body.

Posted by Karen from Lancaster, pa

I generally feel better in cooler weather because of heat related fatigue. But my knees often feel worse in cool weather because the cold stiffens them up. there are not less flexible just slower. Neoprene knee supports help to add warmth but I don’t like to rely on them too much for strength – makes me lazy.

BINGO Trevis!! My MS always acts up when the seasons change!it takes my body about 2 weeks to acclimate to the change. once it does, I start feeling better. I am definitely a cold weather gal. This past summer was awful for me. The fatigue thing was bad. Now that I am getting used to cooler temps, I have more energy.My balance still sucks though,,oh well you can’t have it all.

Summer is on the way here in sunny (wot I mean is bluddy hot!!) Perth, Western Australia!Today it got to 37 (that’s around 97F). Eich.We had new lawn turf put in (roll on lawn) on our verge (dunno waht this is called in the USA – it’s the lawned part between the path and the street) coz the school across the road had it dug up for underground high voltage pwer access…via under the road…7 weeks ago!Surprisingly, I have remained very calm (should have noted this under the “mountains” topic)through all the digging, heavy machinery noise, thumping and crunching, banging and bashing at 7AM, numerous mornings across all these weeks; and today, the new lawn. Looks luverly, but I have to continue to remember (with help from Hushbum) to water it at least 3 times a day so it survives. Certainly not the best weather to install new lawn….certainly not the best weather for Rusty with MS. I stood under the sprinklers a couple of times when I had to go out and chat with the tradies (workers). it was the only way I could be “out there”.I am beginning to loath summer. The heat; the humidity especially. it knackers me and I lose my vision in my MS ‘dodgy’ eye. Hurting things hurt more. My fatigue rages and I can’t sleep due to the barometer, not the temp, coz we have air conditioning.All our friends bring jumpers (cardigans) and we have throw rugs strategically placed around the house. I can only go outside and in the garden late in the evening to tend my roses….loath it I do.The last couple of months have been around 4+ degrees (celcius – that’s a LOT) above average, so yikes re: true summer when it comes.All this makes me seriously, as I do every year, considering moving a few hours south, to the cooler weather and more rain.I love winter.

MS is most definitely affected by the change in seasons. while summer was hard, the constant AChelped a lot. I notice a definite worseing of all my symptoms in November. Right now, I’ve noticed increased dizziness(light-headed), fatigue, balance issues and neck and head pain(base of skull). I’m hoping it will pass if I’m patient(not one of my strong points)! I’ve been taking LDN(low dose naltexone)in a low dose 3.0 for a month now. I’m not on any DMD since my neurologist took me off Tysabri. I tried Copaxone at her suggestion. I had to come off it after four shots. it made me feel so ill. she said that most patients don’t have that reaction. I’m between a rock and a hard place. Say I call the office- what can she possibly suggest? I’m drug sensitive. always have been. Now what. Monjamonja I know how you feel. maybe we have something in common. we seem to have had similar reactions to the various DMDs. Today, I had made plans to go to dinner with a former colleague. Just cancelled. I made sure to tell her how much I was looking forward to seeing her. We escheduled for next week. If I can’t get out, I invited her infor lunch. It’s very easy for people to misinterpret our numerous cancellations for not wanting to be bothered. I’m trying to be truthful. I don’t want to lose anymore from my life than I have already.

STRESS ECZEMA

Q Whenever I am under the weather I get terrible eczema on my body. Washing is uncomfortable and only dries it out further. do you have any suggestions for a gentle way to speed up the healing? D Brookes, Cambridge

DR DAN RUTHERFORD WRITES:

A Eczema, as you rightly point out, is primarily a dry skin condition and rehydrating the skin is a key part of treatment. the simplest moisturising creams are often as good as any of the expensive brand names – the main point is to use enough of them.

Try using emulsifying ointment as a soap substitute and aqueous cream as a moisturiser. be generous with both – they are cheap and available from any high street pharmacy. Skin surface bacteria play a part in eczema so preparations such as the Dermol range, which include a mild antiseptic, are a useful step up.

Although scratching gives temporary symptom relief it also triggers skin inflammation that then promotes the itch. Breaking this itch-scratch cycle may need more powerful preparations, including those containing steroids. Steroid creams can make a huge impact on eczema and many people are too shy of using them. when used sensibly they are perfectly safe.

GETTING OVER a COLD

Q Is it true that you should feed a cold and starve a fever? Sarah Crisp, via email

SARA STANNER WRITES:

A this saying probably came about simply because people who have a fever typically lose their appetite, while those with a cold, which usually does not come with a fever, do not. but it has been suggested that the loss of appetite may be a behavioural adaptation to alter the immune system in such a way as to fight bacterial infections (associated with fevers), while eating food has been shown to stimulate a localised immune response suited to fighting viral infections (colds are generally viral in origin).

The best thing to do when you have a fever or a cold is to drink plenty of fluids as the amount you need increases due to sweating or mucus production. if you aren’t hungry, then you shouldn’t worry about eating.

As long as you are drinking enough fluids, you should be fine without eating much for a few days (you could consider taking a multivitamin/mineral supplement for this time). but the immune system requires energy and micronutrients to function properly so don’t deny your body the nutrients it needs if you do still have an appetite.

ASPIRIN USAGE

Q What are your thoughts on taking aspirin daily? I know a few people who take it as a preventive measure and wondered if I, aged 50, should be doing the same. Michael R, via email

DR DAN RUTHERFORD WRITES:

A a very topical question. the benefits of low-dose aspirin for people who have had a heart attack or the commonest type of stroke (due to blood vessel blockage) are well established as they reduce the chance of having another of these attacks. What we still don’t know for sure is whether people who have no significant past medical history should take aspirin as a preventive.

There has been much publicity recently about the potential aspirin has to reduce bowel cancer risk. this information comes mainly from pooling the results of clinical trials of aspirin used to protect against cardiovascular diseases, so this is not the “average” population. the benefits appeared only after five years of aspirin intake – so it is no quick fix.

Most important is that we have no way of confidently predicting which people will get a significant stomach bleed from long-term aspirin use. Until we can do that, aspirin’s benefits will be demonstrable by statistics from experts taking an overview of large numbers of people, but it will remain difficult to know at the level of an individual person whether it is a good idea.

I think we are going in the direction of recommending low-dose aspirin for most people in midlife and beyond, but we are not there yet.

SECOND OPINION: DR JAMES LE FANU

Pregnancy flu fear

According to the usual official sources, we are now facing the prospect of “the worst flu outbreak in 10 years”. this time it is not the numbers that are apparently normal for this time of year, but rather allegedly the severity of the illness, warranting an admission to intensive care for the treatment of some cases of lung complications.

Britain’s chief medical officer, Professor Dame Sally Davies, has singled out pregnant women as being especially at risk and insists they should have the flu vaccine and be prescribed Tamiflu at the first sign of developing symptoms.

This might seem sensible. the flu, as we all know, is an illness best prevented or treated – with the implication that if such measures are “safe and effective” for pregnant women, so they must be for everyone else. And so they might be, but the “evidence base” to back it up is scarcely compelling. It is, after all, a wise precautionary principle based on the Thalidomide and similar tragedies that pregnant women should, in general, except in grave circumstances, avoid being immunised or taking medication lest it harms the developing foetus.

And although the flu vaccine reduces the incidence of complications in the elderly, it is mere conjecture to infer this can be extrapolated universally to pregnant women. they are entitled to know this.
