Question 1

what is the impact of hemochromatosis on you?

Accepted Answer

Death if untreated: Thankfully, if it's picked up early, you're spared decades of ill-health and ultimately death from involvement of the heart, liver, and/or endocrine pancreas. Of all the really nasty common diseases, hemochromatosis is the easiest to treat, by blood-bank-style donations.

Question 2

did hallucinogens have any impact on you longterm?

Accepted Answer

Yes, they can: Long-term lsd effects include ongoing psychosis and hallucinogen-persisting perception disorder (hppd), or "flashbacks."  psychosis with hallucinations & mood swings can continue years  after the trip. Hppd has visual disturbances like seeing false motion on the edges of the field of vision, bright or colored flashes, and halos or trails attached to moving objects. This can persist for years also.

Question 3

could a delusion be a delusion if the person knows it's a delusion?

Accepted Answer

Delusions: Psychotic symptoms involve a loss of touch with reality. Patients with psychosis have an impaired reality sense/experience, meaning that what they see, hear, or believe is erroneous or false. However, psychotic patients can have good reality testing. That is, some can identify that the delusion (fixed false belief) or hallucination is false even though their is impairment in reality sense.

Question 7

impacted  rectum, how do i fix?

Accepted Answer

Consult a physician.: I guess you mean impacted stools.Consult a physician. Often a warm mineral oil enema is used to soften and lubricate the stool. However, enemas alone are usually not enough to remove a large, hardened impaction.The mass may have to be broken up by hand. This is called manual removal.
A health care provider will need to insert one or two fingers into the rectum and slowly break up the mass.

I wish more did: Onchocerciasis is a dread disease in which worms bearing bacteria cause blindness and spotty skin lesions. In some communities, all adults are blind and they are led by children.
