I caught Legionairs this year spent 2 month in a hospital and 5 weeks in a coma. It's been a real battle learning to walk again
Wow....
My love one has it , in icu now
Glad you made it!
You good now???? 😢
@@circleofstone3114 I have short tearm memory loss, I lose my balance and my legs aren't very strong, but I'm not giving up
Excellent, clear and helpful. Explained in a way that makes you remember it all.. really grateful for you
I usually don't comment on videos but I had a learning disability called ADD and your video was so clear and well presented. You are awesome and I actually learned something from just watching a 8-minute video.
Had? I don't think people lose ADHD at any point
Thanks for your good explanations especially for the sign and symptoms causes.
My nephew has just brushed death with legionnaires!he has been very sick and managed to get to the hospital intensive care unit!!!it’s very overwhelming when we have no idea what we’re dealing with !but with the help you offer us to understand what we’re dealing with made things clear.,on how not only physical but also delusional state of mind he was suffering in a state of delusion. He is well aware of his surroundings and is back to normal.
Thank you very much for this video, it is very helpful to realize what the L. pneumophila is.
Older adults, smokers and people with weakened immune systems are particularly susceptible to Legionnaires' disease👍
Australia currently has an outbreak of Legionnaires Disease
Has it been resolved please😅😅😅
My late husband had Legionnaires Disease. He was quite ill with it for about 3 months. Within several years he was diagnosed with "Mantle Cell Lymphoma Blastoid".
The "treatment" for the Lymphoma was what actually killed him due to the very harsh effects on his body. He passed at 64 years. But I def believe it was the Legionnaires that triggered the Lymphoma (both white blood cell related). His father, same age also passed of Lymphoma 😮
I was feeling like that thanks 🙏🏽
Thank you
Awesome 😎
Hey doc, one question and pls answer because im really scared. So i saw your kidney disease video and when you said about the foamy urin does it have to be foamy as a beer or what to have kidney disease.
I've maybe heard about this before.
If so, I've just recently been reminded about it and looking into it after getting my water heater fixed.
I read something about stagnant water?
Anyone know if it can happen in water bottles?
I had some really nasty 🤢 gross stuff in 2 of my water bottles about a year ago.
I wasn't changing them enough,
Also had some water bottles near my bed & I was gone a week or 2
I thought nothing about it...
Until I opened the cap and it smelt horribly like rotten eggs, bad & something else I couldn't determine, But I almost vomited from the smell,
Also there was something idk algae (maybe) in another water bottle.
Just for the hell of it,
I tried to clean the bottle before I was going to recycle it anyway, then when I checked it later &
It still smelled horrible, ew....
If you'd like to know more about the experience of Legionella pneumonia... Please do not hesitate to as any questions.
Msn 2nd year ki sariyaa disease prr vedio bndoo plzz dii
Since i am first i want to ask you a question, what is your major?
You will also get it if you lower the water heater to less than 55 degrees celcius.
I got this now😢
👏👏👏👏👏
You speak of legionnaires like you have had it but you haven’t. I did in 2017. In my workplace the air conditioning unit was replaced. I watched it happen. 2 weeks later I went to the er with a fever of 103. Was released saying it was a FOU. I went back home to take care of my 90 year old mother. When I finally had to go back to work I passed out. I went back to the same er but this time I was lucky to have an infectious disease specialist on call. She diagnosed it. At that time my fever was 105. I was hallucinating. A week later I found out that 4 people had also had it from my work. One of which had died.
To this day I have a smell when I’m not feeling well and it brings me back.
It has caused me PTSD and I don’t understand why why doctors can release you from the ER with a fever of 103. FUO be damned.
What antibiotics did they give you, do you remember?
But why late summer?
More use of airconditioning and heat outside for bacterial growth. That's when I got it here in Australia and was told that's where and why I likely got it. It's horrible but very rare.
Can face masks that have been worn all day at work cause this ? I know the cheap ones get all moist and capture and hold that moisture all day long while its attached to your face and you inhale through it. Are these symptoms close to the cv-19 symptoms ?
Seems like it to me as well. I guess they calling it covid now days
I didn't believe when Dr okouromi on RUclips said he can help me beat fibromyalgia with his natural herbal medicine, after taking the herbs I feel much better now no more pains I'm so happy! You can also reach out to him for permanent cure...
Nope, you can't catch it from face masks
My husband has legionnaires disease and is in a coma right now. Came out of nowhere
What is hehere or he-here
A dear friend of mine passed away just yesterday 29 December 2022 because of legionella he was hospitalised the 7th December 2022

R.i.p. Anthony you will live forever in my ♥
