Question 1

Question 2

whats prognosis for cofs?

Accepted Answer

Premature ageing: Cofs syndrome has many different sybtypes. However, in general, type ii, which is the abbreviation you use, shows very limited neurologic development, and most patients do not live beyond 8-10 years of age. It is an inherited disease (autosomal recessive) which is caused by a defect in a dna repair mechanism. Sorry -- this is a very rare and lethal disease.

Accepted Answer

What disease?: Sorry but the doctors here are not psychics and thus none of us know what disease you are talking about.
Please ask again with more detail. Knowing your age, symptoms, other health issues and how long you (or a loved one) has had it would help as well.
Most diseases have a variable prognosis based on multiple factors.

Question 7

how should i interpret "prognosis information"?

Accepted Answer

Source is important: Information from search engines is "unfiltered" and can be devastating if misinterpreted. Only people quite familiar with all aspects of your disease can accurately give you initial prognostic information. However, once you know the details (exact disease type, stage, special studies like markers or chromosome analysis) you can use this to help evaluate information on the web from reliable sites.

Question 8

i suffer from polymoysitis what is my prognosis?

Accepted Answer

Polymyositis: Well, there should be more explanation to it. There is dermatomyositis, which frequently is associated with malignancy and this needs to be ruled out. There is polymyalgia rheumatica, which is an inflammatory condition that is treated with steroids. Polymyositis is more of a general term but there should be a cause involved and found and prognosis will be based on it.

Accepted Answer

Very challenging: Porphyrias are life-long diseases with symptoms that come and go. Some forms of the disease cause more symptoms than others. Proper treatment and avoidance of triggers can help prolong the time between attacks. But attacks are quite painful and can be fatal. Life is a real struggle for someone with porphyria but it is possible to even do great things - some historical figures have suffered it.
