How can one cope with chronic illness?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concerns. I am sorry to know that you are suffering for years with little success to date. Firstly, I would like to inform you that weight gain is a good sign of treatment responsiveness. Secondly, unlike other infective illnesses, TB (tuberculosis) is a serious illness and takes time to respond. This could be the reason for the nil improvement in nose block. It is natural to feel sad after such an illness but, we all suffer from one or the other form of treatment. The positive thing about TB is that it is a curable illness in most cases. At the same time, once you achieve optimum health, you can achieve your career success albeit after a little while. It is important to keep your faith intact and have confidence in your ability to recover, your health professionals. I hope this helps you. Feel free to write back to me if you have more questions.

Thank you.

Dear Reshma, Thanks for follow up and letting me know that you have decided in favour of your career rather than affection (??). Since you already know that he was not serious and probably had vested interest to take advantage of your emotional needs the half job of leaving the stressful thing is already done. I mean to say that making it clear to your mind what is normal and what is abnormal itself is enough to make the half success. Now regarding further success I need to repeat some of the past answer which I provided to you two months back. One of the fact that you need to understand is that relationship is best suited for similar minded people or similar status people. I do not mean status means money but it includes everything including your needs, age, social status, thinking pattern among others. As you know in the past you needed him every six months (may be more frequently) but this kind of need often arises for various reasons other than the emotional needs. For emotional support you need someone which is very close to you and to whom you can confide everything which you want. As you know he does not qualify as per emotional needs feeling stressful about his is wastage of time and energy and this need to be stopped as soon as possible. Secondly you need to have meaningful engagement in one or another activity. This could be anything including thinking about your career, thinking about relationship, meaningful engagement with family members and spending time with friends and family. In addiction to all other efforts this is one of the most important thing to forget about some stressful things of past. Unfortunately there is nothing which can help you directly from coming out of that relationship other than the healing power of time. But fortunately healing power of time becomes more effective once it is used in some meaningful activity. I understand that chemicals are aversive to your health status but it does not mean that you can not be part of your father's business. I am sure that some of business activity can be carried out by you without exposing yourself with chemicals. Thirdly doing some work for society (may be for orphan children, rape victims, TB patients) can help you immensely to come out of negative feelings. Finally I like to inform you that weakness and tiredness due to stress often decreases when you start working. In case this continues to persist that means there is need to take nutritional supplements which could be deficient due to recent tuberculosis. I hope this helps you further.

Dear Reshma,Thanks for follow up. Regarding your question whether he felt pleasure by touching you, my answer is definite yes. I am sure he is aware of his skills and monopoly status and having the superior position he expected more from you. However probably he had some fear that lead to not advancing his dirty thoughts to relationship level. By acting as teaser he has given you some indications about his intention but I am glad to know that you had healthy thinking pattern which probably thwarted his advancements at the early stage. I also feel that knowing your emotional needs he sensed your vulnerability more easily. However I feel that calling him pervert is something more than what he deserves. As stated above I have seen this phenomenon across this country and I think it that sense we will be calling everybody as pervert. I hope this answers you. Thanks and regards.

Dear Reshma, Thanks for follow up. I am glad to know that your mental condition have been improved a lot over the last one year and hope that same will be maintained over the coming time. Regarding the high pulse rate I think there is need to do following tests. 1. Complete blood count 2. FT3, FT4 and TSH 3. ECG The purpose of above test is to rule out the cardiac causes, thyroid and anemia. In my opinion there is high possibility that increase pulse rate, irregular heart beats, sleeplessness is due to some thyroid ailment as increased thyroid level (hyperthyroidism) can cause all the symptoms mentioned above. The second possibility is heart related problem as both increase pulse rate and skipping of heart beats can occur in heart related problems. However the possibility is low as sleeplessness can not be explained on the basis of heart ailments. The third possibility is severe anaemia as both increased heart rate and missing beats can occur in severe anaemia. However the possibility is low as sleeplessness can not be explained on basis of it. Once these tests are completed in my opinion you should see a local doctor as these issues can be managed by any competent physician. I hope this helps you. Feel free to write back to me if you have more questions. Thanks and regards.
