Medical info & terms that save lives & improve health
I live in a rural area, where some of my best friends probably tolerate me, simply because of my ability & willingness to read, look up & explain things. Our primary care clinics are ran by nurses, with few speciality physicians available, one day/mth, by referal. Things quickly done in cities are very long trips & big ordeals from Gods county. This app has been a lifesaver, providing info that's enabled a better understanding of possible health issues, diagnosis & the ability to then discuss & ask questions at the next medical visit. To have some ability to make informed decisions about healthcare. Above all, it's provided, understandable info that multiple friends have desperately needed & used, after test & treatments were ordered, that gave them reason to choose to give up, cancel appointments & avoid useless efforts, & pass in peace at home. This lil app provided info that has saved lives of those I love, thru understanding terms which in turn provided hope, treatment & cure.
There are things that can still be tweaked, & continually improved, that is always part of any successful endeavor, but it's a lifesaving lil app already.
Helps me tremendously!
In the last 1 1/2 years I have used this application several times a week. My health took a bad turn and I have read so many of my medical records that have many words that I just don't know the meaning of. I'm sure my doctors or their nurses would find me to be both annoying and time consuming if I were to call every time I wanted to know what some medical word meant. This dictionary has been a tremendous asset to helping me understand exactly what my test results and various conditions mean to my health. I honestly don't know how I could ever keep up with knowing what's going on with my health if I had to either call or email my doctor then wait for a response or go to a library to look up all the words. That's if the library even has a medical dictionary. I'd give this app 10 stars if I could.
erythromelalgia
If you're find with ads, finding the definitions is easy and productive. However, as someone with erythromelalgia I found the definition very misleading and dangerous because of how misleading it is. EM is known to START SHOWING SYMPTOMS IN ADOLESCENCE. Not in people middle age. Another part of this is there's a higher mortality rate due to suicide so I'm not sure how many of us MAKE IT TO MIDDLE AGE. EM is not something that can be planned. Em can either progress rapidly over weeks/months or steadily over years. I found the part where symptoms generally go away with cooling and rest to be infuriating. As there's a reason why MAYO CLINIC HAS AN EM CLINIC. Because after the gabapentin, the ketamine compound, Botox, and then the nerve blockers there's not really much left to do. I have to deal with ignorant doctors and nurses who will tell me my exercise induced flairs can BE FIXED BY EXERCISE when it puts me at risk for nerve damage. Please stop contributing to the idea that because it's not cancer or liver failure, EM isn't severe. Because it is. And many of us commit suicide because the pain is so bad.
Thank you for your feedback! It is possible that our sources will update their entries for "erythromelalgia " in the future. (We are not able to make changes to the content we license.)
