Patient discussion about sensitizer.

Q. My wife is very sensitive in nature that she reacts to all the naughty actions of my little son? I am a voracious reader. I do believe that regular reading of journals, newsletters and books helps to widen my knowledge in the respective area. My wife is very sensitive in nature that she reacts to all the naughty actions of my little son. Though I can help her with little efforts, her behavior makes me stressed. To my knowledge she is clearly showing signs of depression. When I advised her to go with the treatment, she says that there is no need as she is not depressed. Why is depression often unnoticed in everyone? Is treatment vital for depressive disorder? How to be aware of the depression?

A. maybe if you put the book down,and helped your wife with your son she woundnt be depressed.....WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Q. I heard that patients are highly sensitive to their senses? what are the most common symptoms of fibromyalgia and can they be aggravated? I heard that patients are highly sensitive to their senses?

A. Great answeer...couldn't agree more!

Q. when my aunt went through chemo (for colon cancer) her palms became VERY sensitive and had a burning feeling is there any way to prevent this from happening to my mom who is starting her chemo now? If not, what it the best treatment for it?

A. What you describe sounds like peripheral neuropathy, a well known side effect of platinum chemotherapy which is used for colon cancer. Several measures, including giving infusion of calcium and magnesium, and glutathione were found to reduce the rate of this complication, although further studies are necessary.

However, the information is only general advice, since I haven't examined your mother so if you have any questions about this subject, it may be wise to consult a doctor (e.g. oncologist).
