Working For Bankers Life And Casualty Company
later: Economic Impact
When I started this testimony, my only intention was to share experience with people with this diagnosis or family close to them, to get a better feeling in the body and mind of those who face ulcerative colitis .
For me, writing this testimony, was a very healing process because I understand better, with another glance, the efforts of everyone involved in the event I had for me, as the center of the situation.
In this process, I reacquainted again with joy, grief, landscapes, scents, encounters that appeared in this live many years with a disease that, far from healing, stages evolved towards more difficult to control.
The reissue all this life experience gave me the opportunity to open and close cycles, separating what matters from what is simply superficial ...
In a medical journal extracted the following quote that I share with you: "there is no purely mental condition, a purely physical, is an episode that occurs in a living organism that is alive by virtue of the fact that in that body the psychic and the somatic are inextricably linked "
It would appear that the characteristics of be chronic disease, lead to stressful conditions that would come to explain the psychological disturbances that often we live.
While we are experiencing a flare and we added additional stress related to a problem or overworked this outbreak is greatly increased.
As this is a chronic disease the best way to tackle it is to hear that is, then accept it and learn to live with it, understand that our life projects can be carried out best if handled well cluster periods.
As a suggestion, I consider it important to practice a technique for "stress management" and be guided by a therapist or self-administered and participate in support groups.
I need for a physician to be locatable and available to respond to emergencies in order to manage outbreaks properly, quickly and effectively, without going through the emergency departments of a hospital where are not always physicians experienced in inflammatory bowel disease. One
my physicians told me that it is proper to man to seek new alternatives and treatment options in alternative medicine. Suggest not only traditional treatment abruptly stop and where possible they are supplementary.
I am aware that without the support of my family, chain prayers of friends, acquaintances, and people of good will and the presence of a team of physicians, who practiced all his knowledge, not been possible give this witness, which I hope to contribute to a better understanding of what happens to a patient suffering from this difficult evil.

Creatine Hair Extensions
family ... .. Fistula insists
I do not want to miss this disease has a large economic impact on family life especially in middle-class families and low.
The cost of treatment and care of a patient with ulcerative colitis or Crohn's are too high:
• Drugs: suppositories, immunosuppressants, I-salazina, sulfasalazine, antibiotics, and others.
• Food: You must be special and often supplemented with foodstuffs or food supplements that also have a high cost (vitamins, probiotics, Ensure or special patches le).
• Testing: scanner, MRI, CT scan, colonoscopy, biochemical profile, blood count, urine and others.
• Office visits: a query to the average month
• Hospitalizations: surgeries, intravenous and others sometimes make frequent hospital stay. • Other-Ostomized
: plates, bags, adhesives (change every five days.)
I asked if this disease is welcome to the AUGE plan but have not included, neither is considered a catastrophic illness.
All patients belong to FONASA, like me, we are economically disadvantaged, either by spending on drugs they do not have any kind of reimbursement, and private hospitalizations FONASA reimbursed a small amount.
For us as a family and three children in college, the economic side has been very complex. We have always been arranged in our expenses and we have given priority to food, education and health, depriving us of all other expenses not considered a priority.
Faced with all that was the first surgery had saved what is necessary to avoid being in debt as it was scheduled for surgery, but never thought any further surgery and hospitalization, medical consultations and medicines in a high cost, it really was a great temporary.
But we have been going well and canceling all fees on time.
I have to mention, the sustained effort of my husband, who never failed to meet the needs this disease has tremendous meaning, with alacrity and with redoubled efforts to provide timely assistance whenever I needed.
I thank God for it ... I am very grateful
doctors of the Catholic University, in their private consultations were very kind to me regarding their fees, often by providing free, with the same professionalism as noted previously.
Everything is reported as lived and felt

Dark Spots On Tongue Syphilis
be present with new pain ... ..
I spend two months with very little energy, walking at times I fall, I have plenty of vaginal and rectal pain, joint ankle, knee and wrist .
The Gastroenterologist doctor to examine me decide a consultation with a gynecologist, wants to know your opinion about vaginal fistula, I indicates low-dose corticosteroids.
The doctor gynecologist decides to make an examination under anesthesia reservoir, which involved a surgeon gastroenterologist and he believes that this fistula does not close with medications.
I return to the consulting surgeon's opinion gynecologist, he also agrees to make a decision together. Cree
that most likely would make the reservoir and leave the iliostomia permanently.
This time I am categorically I'm not ready for this surgery!
Dr. I say again that in all his medical experience and many cases it has involved only has two patients with this evolution to a recto-vaginal fistula. Ie belong to the rare type of patient, evolving into the most difficult of the disease.
comes the month of June 2008, I was hospitalized to undergo the screening test of the reservoir.
The result was that the fistula was very large, high flow, also had a narrow sector of the small intestine.
surgeon's diagnosis was that it was too complex to close the fistula and repair the narrowing of this segment of bowel, surgery would be higher again, and with an uncertain prognosis.
Gastroenterologist Dr. tells me that in terms of drugs had been used almost everything that could help my recovery, I therefore prescribed only for nefersil sulfasalazine and joint pain.
Yet the news was not so devastating, I felt I had traveled all the roads that could give me a better quality of life before me this review was a slight hope to close this fistula, which disrupted my daily life, I also iliostomÃa realized that would be part of my body.
It's been two months and finally I feel revived again. I'm taking sulfasalazine 1500mg, more probiotics, vitamins, loperamide, flows have decreased and the reservoir is swelling.
All blood tests and biochemical profile are fine.
I returned to work and I'm doing a relatively normal life, I am still uneasy about the loss of my sister Eliana, I feel a part of me went with her, but also to thank the life that my children have grown up healthy in them is not that genetics have hurt with this disease, and are each making their professional lives.
