Hmm, its like some people believe strongly they have this or this kind of disease, it cause them much anguish and stress mentally, the body inner self is thrown into an imbalance, hence sickness or degrading health is commonOriginally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Okie. -
hmm..maybe you still dont get it hor..
its okay

put it in another way, whenever one is in agony = stressed up, the body releases cortisols...these are stress related hormones..in e long run these hormones are bad for e body although it helps the body like adrenaline in the short run.Originally posted by alexkusu:Hmm, its like some people believe strongly they have this or this kind of disease, it cause them much anguish and stress mentally, the body inner self is thrown into an imbalance, hence sickness or degrading health is common
thatz y they say stress is a silent killer. they weakens e immunity system and therefore makes the body more vulnerable to diseases...(on top of wat (illness) they think already have) -
But somehow, this don't seem to be the case. She's getting too forgetful, and seeing things that are non-existent and recalling only the past but not the present. Very weird... doctors ruled out dementia... but suspect memory loss, given potassium tablets instead.Originally posted by alexkusu:Hmm, its like some people believe strongly they have this or this kind of disease, it cause them much anguish and stress mentally, the body inner self is thrown into an imbalance, hence sickness or degrading health is common

its v common that memory fails when one ages...Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:But somehow, this don't seem to be the case.

if she cant recall e recent events but yet still rem the past, its not a bad news, at least we know that her memory is still somewhat there, jus that in tierms of encoding new memories, might b a challenge for her.
u shld b glad that e doc ruled dementia out, cos it can be v difficult to take care of such patients. plus, it might not be a bad thing either....she wont b able to recall how bad her condition is...and wont remind herself constantly...
there is nothing one can do about a degenerative brain... -
But I don't dare to assume, only make matters worse...Originally posted by alexkusu:dont have to be doctor one leh

Guess that's a good side of having memory loss...

so always think twice if u still hope to have a unfailing memory...
cos u will always remember every single thing...
memorizing the book that u are supposed to enjoy, from cover to cover,
all the sad, traumatic happenings in ur life
all e hurtful things that pple said to you
still seeing things that you jus saw, cos its so hard to forget....
it is taxing...
