At forty-five years old, my life's mission was complete. If I died tomorrow, I would be proud of the life I lived." - Loving Tiara When Tiffani married the love of her life, Lou, after graduating from college, she assumed she would continue to live the affluent life she had always known, having grown up in Newport Beach, California. She never imagined she would soon be stalked by creditors, driving a car on the repossession list and forced to worry about providing basic necessities for her family, such as buying diapers and groceries. This increasingly desperate situation forced her to decide to return home to her parents with her baby and husband. After getting their life back on track, and with Tiffani in her final year of law school, they decided to have another baby. At eight months old, however, they discovered that their new daughter Tiara had Tuberous Sclerosis, a rare genetic disorder resulting in intractable epilepsy, developmental delay, chronic hospital admissions, and uncontrollable violent behaviors. So how did Tiffani cope with her new reality? She chose to fight. She challenged the doctors, battled the insurance companies, and refused to give up caring for Tiara even when her own life was at risk The author's story of unconditional love, unimaginable challenges, and, ultimately, triumph, is a compelling one, which will take hold of your heart and not let go. This memoir will inspire you to tackle fear, encourage you never to give up, and remind you always to trust your gut instincts.
Download or read book Surviving Tuberous Sclerosis written by Nuel Nenji and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-12-23 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tuberous sclerosis, also referred to as tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), is an uncommon genetic disorder that can affect multiple organ systems. It is characterized by the development of benign tumors, or hamartomas, in a number of organs, including the brain, epidermis, kidneys, heart, eyes, and lungs. These tumors are composed of abnormal cells that proliferate and divide uncontrollably, but they are typically benign and do not disseminate to other organs. Mutations in the TSC1 or TSC2 genes, which regulate cell growth and proliferation, cause tuberous sclerosis. When these genes are mutated, they cease to function properly, resulting in the growth of malignancies in the affected organs. Diagnostic criteria for tuberous sclerosis consist of clinical symptoms and genetic testing to identify mutations in the TSC1 or TSC2 genes. The treatment options for tuberous sclerosis seek to manage and alleviate the disorder's particular symptoms and complications. These may include medications to control seizures, when necessary, surgical removal of lesions, and therapies to address developmental and behavioral difficulties. Since tuberous sclerosis is a genetic disorder, it can be inherited from a parent who possesses a mutated TSC1 or TSC2 gene, but it can also arise spontaneously in individuals without a family history of the condition. Affected individuals and their families are frequently advised to seek genetic counseling in order to better understand the risks of transmitting the condition to future generations and to make informed decisions about family planning. Tuberous sclerosis patients can substantially improve their quality of life through early diagnosis and intervention.

Download or read book Adverse Effects of Pertussis and Rubella Vaccines written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1991-01-01 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parents have come to depend on vaccines to protect their children from a variety of diseases. Some evidence suggests, however, that vaccination against pertussis (whooping cough) and rubella (German measles) is, in a small number of cases, associated with increased risk of serious illness. This book examines the controversy over the evidence and offers a comprehensively documented assessment of the risk of illness following immunization with vaccines against pertussis and rubella. Based on extensive review of the evidence from epidemiologic studies, case histories, studies in animals, and other sources of information, the book examines: The relation of pertussis vaccines to a number of serious adverse events, including encephalopathy and other central nervous system disorders, sudden infant death syndrome, autism, Guillain-Barre syndrome, learning disabilities, and Reye syndrome. The relation of rubella vaccines to arthritis, various neuropathies, and thrombocytopenic purpura. The volume, which includes a description of the committee's methods for evaluating evidence and directions for future research, will be important reading for public health officials, pediatricians, researchers, and concerned parents.

Download or read book Epilepsy Across the Spectrum written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2012-07-29 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although epilepsy is one of the nation's most common neurological disorders, public understanding of it is limited. Many people do not know the causes of epilepsy or what they should do if they see someone having a seizure. Epilepsy is a complex spectrum of disorders that affects an estimated 2.2 million Americans in a variety of ways, and is characterized by unpredictable seizures that differ in type, cause, and severity. Yet living with epilepsy is about much more than just seizures; the disorder is often defined in practical terms, such as challenges in school, uncertainties about social situations and employment, limitations on driving, and questions about independent living. The Institute of Medicine was asked to examine the public health dimensions of the epilepsies, focusing on public health surveillance and data collection; population and public health research; health policy, health care, and human services; and education for people with the disorder and their families, health care providers, and the public. In Epilepsy Across the Spectrum, the IOM makes recommendations ranging from the expansion of collaborative epilepsy surveillance efforts, to the coordination of public awareness efforts, to the engagement of people with epilepsy and their families in education, dissemination, and advocacy for improved care and services. Taking action across multiple dimensions will improve the lives of people with epilepsy and their families. The realistic, feasible, and action-oriented recommendations in this report can help enable short- and long-term improvements for people with epilepsy. For all epilepsy organizations and advocates, local, state, and federal agencies, researchers, health care professionals, people with epilepsy, as well as the public, Epilepsy Across the Spectrum is an essential resource.
