what is the disease that makes a person incapable of feeling pain?

Q:

A: This is not my field of knowledge and whilst I note that the article refers to the problems asociated with the disease and anaesthesia, however, the details included in the abstract may be of interest, I therefore copy the abstract from the nominated specialists:-The anaesthetic management of patients with congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis byRozentsveig V, Katz A, Weksler N, Schwartz A,Schilly M, Klein M, Gurman GM.Division of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine,Soroka University Medical Center,Faculty of Health Sciences, Ben Gurion University of the Negev,Beer Sheva, Israel.Paediatr Anaesth. 2004 Apr;14(4):344-8. ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis (CIPA, or hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type IV) is a rare, autosomal recessive disease, related to a mutation in the TrkA gene, characterized by inability to sweat, insensitivity to pain and recurrent episodes of hyperpyrexia. There are two Bedouin tribes in Israel with different mutations of the TrkA gene: one in the southern region and the other in the northern region. The Soroka University Medical Center is the referral centre for the entire southern region of Israel. One in 4500 anaesthesia cases involves a patient with CIPA. METHODS: We reviewed 40 anaesthesia records of 20 patients with CIPA for anaesthetic technique and incidence of side-effects. RESULTS: Sixteen patients developed complications in the immediate perioperative period: mild hypothermia in one patient and cardiovascular events in 15 others with one case of cardiac arrest. These complications were unrelated to the anaesthetic drug administered. There were no events of hyperthermia or postoperative nausea. CONCLUSIONS: Cardiovascular complications following anaesthesia are common in patients with the southern Israel variant of CIPA. Hyperthermia, previously recognized as a major concern in patients with congenital insensitivity to pain with anhydrous, was not seen in our patients. We conclude that cardiovascular involvement is frequently encountered in CIPA patients following anaesthesia and is the major concern in their anaesthetic management. Hope this is of help.Matador 89

chrons and making my self sick, to make me feel less pain.. is this really that bad?

Q: it makes me feel better when iv eaten if i through it up.. if i eat and don’t throw up then i am in pain because of my crohns disease, so i throw up to relive the pain.. i only do it once a day never more. is this really bad?

A: That sounds awful to be in so much pain that you feel the need to throw up- you poor thing! xI don’t want to scare you but yes it can be quite damaging to your physical body..it can have all sorts of effects. It must be quite horrific for you as well because being sick can put all sorts of pressure on all your organs, including your bowels. Throwing up also plays havoc with your oral health and so your teeth may start to be affected..and your throat will be sore because of the stomach acid. The biggest concern is that you can become dehydrated if you are sick frequently, even it is only once a day. There are other complications as well. I think its very important that you go to your doctor and seek more help for your pain..because otherwise your condition might get alot worse. – and being sick is not fun..poor you.xTake care – i really hope you feel better soon x
