The first 6 months after the disease developed, she had to take 0.3 mg/day to make herself comfortable. Now she only takes 0.15 mg/day, and she is fine (se has been on this dosage for a year and a half.)

No. Currently there is no cure for AMD. This is why research programs on AMD are so important. Although not curable, there are a few treatments available that slow the progression of the disease for persons with specific types of the disease. Click here for more information regarding current treatment options.

One you are diagnosed with Hirschsprung's Disease in my opinion and many other it is always with you. However with some medical Insurance Companies if you have had a surgery where the problem has been corrected (in this case usually severe, continuous constipation), you can report that as corrected if you have had a surgery for an ostomy or even a reversal of an ostomy.

There is currently no absolute cure for Endometriosis, but there are several methods of treatment, which may alleviate some of the pain and symptoms associated with it.

The precise answer at this time is no. Vitiligo is probably caused by a variety of factors interacting in specific ways. Research has advanced the understanding of the physical and psychosocial aspects of Vitiligo, but the cause and cure for this disease are unknown. [top of page]

Though the cocktails produced and modern drugs are a vast improvement of what was offered in earlier years, there is not yet a cure. HIV is a virus, meaning it can not be cured at the present time.

No. The best medical science can offer today is treatment that ttempts to correct the symptoms of XLH. The gene that carries the XLH mutation has already been identified. Scientific research is particularly intensive, at the moment, to try to understand how the affected gene works in the control of phosphorus levels in the blood. Gene therapy, in which the defective gene is fixed, holds longer-term promise. There are important advances in research going on right now, and The XLH Network Inc.

Even though medical doctors and scientist consider this disease incurable, my personal experience proves that Graves’ Disease can be cured by treating the cause of this disease.

No. Early treatment can slow the progression of diabetic retinopathy, but is not likely to reverse any vision loss.

No, but treatment can slow or even stop the progression of the wet form, so the earlier you're diagnosed, the better.

A. Yes, this disease is fully curable if the treatment is taken on a regular and continuous basis for adequate duration.

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by the bacterium Treponema Pallidum. Syphilis can cause serious damage to your heart or brain if not treated promptly. Yes, Syphilis CAN be cured! Because Syphilis is caused by bacteria, antibiotics (e.g. penicillin) rid the body of the infection.

Mesothelioma is not curable. Some treatments may prolong life or ease pain, but no standard mesothelioma treatment regime exists at this time. This should not be a cause for despair, however, as researchers are constantly discovering new cancer drugs and procedures.

Piles (hemorrhoids) are not curable but can be easily controlled by bringing a few changes in your diet and lifestyle. If you have painful and bleeding piles (hemorrhoids) it is best to consult your doctor as you may require some medication also. In pregnant women, hemorrhoids (occurring just because of pregnancy) are often a temporary problem that usually disappears totally, after childbirth.

There are many different causes for each of the four main types of DI. CDI is usually idiopathic (no known cause), but can also result from a variety of known disorders such as tumors, head trauma, and granulomas that involve the pituitary and hypothalamus.

If your CDI and hypothyroidism are fully treated, they should not interfere with your fertility. They also should not affect your life expectancy nor have any effect on other medications that you may be taking. However, the disease that apparently caused your CDI and hypothyroidism could affect any or all of these things depending on what kind of tumor it was, how it was treated, and so forth. I have CDI and am having problems getting pregnant; I do not have normal menstrual cycles.

CDI itself does not interfere with the ability to get pregnant and have normal children. However, the eosinophilic granuloma that probably caused your CDI may also have destroyed other pituitary hormones that are necessary for fertility. That has probably happened if you do not have normal menstrual periods. It is not necessarily abnormal for a girl of 16 to have irregular periods, particularly if she is very active and/or underweight.

To ensure an employee exposed to an electric arc incident does not experience a burn that will cause irreversible tissue damage – a curable burn. This is a 2° burn where the skin temperature does not exceed 175° with a duration no longer than 0.1 second.

Aging is a syndrome of changes to organs, to cells and to biological molecules that is deleterious, progressive and irreversible. Aging is caused by sugars which cross-link proteins, by free radicals and by toxins. Telomere (chromosome end) shortening causes aging primarily in the immune system. Molecular damage to proteins, DNA and other macromolecules can be fixed − by replacing or repairing the affected molecules.

Since the disorder is caused by irreversible brain damage, cerebral palsy has no cure. However, the physical effects of the brain damage can be treated. While impaired motor skills, speech, and muscle development cannot be “cured,” there are an ever-growing number of management options. Early intervention is often considered the single most important factor in the disorder’s treatment.
