Answer 1

Neurologic disease: This sounds like your eyes are not tracking properly together from side to side. This can be a midface problem or a sign of central nervous system problems. This needs prompt evaluation to insure that it is not potentially lethal or harmful.

Answer 2

Astigmatism: Uncorrected astigmatism can leave a shadow image. Get measured to see if you need glasses to correct this.

Answer 3

Panilopsia: Palinopsia....Could be part of normal phenomenon or more serious neurological problem. Important to see eye doc for dilated exam! visual field testing may be warranted if it is thought there might be a neurologic cause.

Answer 4

No: Eyes grow from birth through the teen years.

Answer 5

No: They do grow slower than most other organs.

Answer 6

No: Eyeballs grow with your body. In addition, eyeballs can change shape over time, which can result in vision changes (some people's eyeballs grow longer than wider which changes the ability of the lens to focus visual images on the retina).

Answer 7

No: Eyes grow as your baby grows, just like his/her other organs. In addition the iris, the colored part of the eye, likely will change color during the first year. Most babies are born with blue eyes, but watch closely as your baby's eyes get more color and depth to them!

Answer 8

No: No, that would be one of those "medical myths." eyeballs grow, and the shape of the eyeball can change through the growing years.

Answer 9

No: Eyeballs grow in diameter a very small amount each year during childhood, until they reach the adult diameter of 1 inch.

Answer 10

No: There is growth in the early years, but by late teens, this has ceased.

Answer 11

No: Thiocyanate a salt analogous in composition to a cyanate, but containing sulfur instead of oxygen and relatively nontoxic. It is one of the compounds produced in the body as a detoxicating mechanism. Continued ingestion can cause goiter.

Answer 12

No.: To make it even more interesting, there is also isothiocyanate, better known as the active ingredient in horseradish.

Answer 13

No: Ms disability progresses at a variable pace, influenced in part by age at symptoms onset, use of disease modifying therapy, effective use of rehabilitation strategies to optimize function. Genetic background also likely plays a key role in the aggressiveness of this disease. Cognitive reserve or "plasticity" of the CNS helps compensate for advancing disease longer.

Answer 14

No: The disease usually manifests itself with many of the same ailments but progression of the disease is never the same in two individuals.

Answer 15

Not at all: There are NO two MS pts who are alike, each has a unique course, and even if untreated, only a certain number sharply deteriorate. However, secondary progressive transition could occur in 50% at 10 yrs, 90% at 20 yrs, if disorder not effectively treated.

Answer 16

MS varies: MS is a variable illness. About 1/7 cases are very simple, with few attacks and symptoms. Many cases have multiple relapses, some cases result in progressive illness, and some rare cases are very aggressive or difficult to treat. MS has become a much more manageable illness with good outcomes over the past 20-30 years, although there are exceptions too.

Answer 17

No: Fibrocystic disease is not an infection.

Answer 18

No: They are different disease processes altogether.

Answer 19

If you cook it: It is common and safe if you actually cook the raw meat. You can use a wok and call it stir fry. Where you can get in trouble is cutting raw meat on a cutting board, then cutting vegetables on the same board without thoroughly cleaning it and serving those veggies raw or in a salad.

Answer 20

Yes but: The vegetables will cook faster than the meat so cook the meat first, add the vegetables later.
