Restless Anal Syndrome: Man Developed Symptoms After COVID-19 Recovery
www.businessinsider.com
  • A 77-year-old man developed a pain deep in his anus weeks after having COVID-19.
  • He had never experienced the restless discomfort before, and it didn't improve after bowel movements.
  • Doctors told him it was an anal variant of restless leg syndrome, which has been linked to COVID-19.
A man in Japan developed "deep anal discomfort" several weeks after he recovered from COVID-19, according to a recent case report published in BMC Infectious Diseases.

Doctors at Tokyo University Hospital diagnosed him with "restless anal syndrome," an unusual variant of restless leg syndrome. RLS variants have been observed in the abdomen, bladder, and mouth, but this is the first anal presentation described in medical literature.

The 77-year-old man reported a restless discomfort approximately 10 cm — the length of a golf pencil — deep in his anus. He told doctors he had the urge to move his bowels, but pooping didn't alleviate the feeling.

His symptoms worsened in the evening and in periods of rest, which is consistent with restless leg syndrome, the doctors noted. Additionally, he was able to get some relief with exercise — another common feature of RLS.

A colonoscopy revealed that, aside from a few hemorrhoids, nothing was wrong inside the man's rectum. He had no brain abnormalities, bladder disturbance, or erectile dysfunction. In addition a bit of anxiety and insomnia, the restless feeling was his only health issue since COVID-19.

Several weeks earlier, the man had been admitted to the hospital with a relatively mild case of COVID-19 that included sore throat, cough, and fever. He had a low-grade fever for 10 days and was treated for mild pneumonia.

The anal discomfort started after he recovered from his respiratory symptoms, sending him back to the hospital. The doctors determined that because the patient had never experienced the restlessness in his anus before, it was likely a COVID-related syndrome.

After a course of Clonazepam, a drug used to treat seizures, the discomfort in his anus resolved.

Long-haulers have reported some strange lingering symptoms, including regular RLS and other neurological disorders. Symptoms like brain fog and ringing ears can last for months after the initial infection, putting COVID survivors at elevated risk of psychological distress.
 
Vaccines should be made mandatory much like the wearing of masks in public.

We have a 90% vaccinated population (if we don't include children below 12 not vaccinated). It's time to open up and live with COVID. Endemic means endemic.
Is it 90% already ?

woooooohoooooo

the problem with vaccinating children is all of them don’t even fall remotely sick . To this date no child has ended up in HD or ICU ward . Thankfully .

so it may not be cost effective to vaccinate them. But that’s the headache for the pencil dicks in MOH to decide

[1] Includes all cases who are currently hospitalised.
[2] Includes only new cases reported in the past 28 days.
[3] Includes new cases added today.
The numbers still show a less than 2% seriously ill. What would be more interesting to show is how many have already recovered from COVID and have moved on. If the number overwhelms the number of newly infected, than that shrinks the numbers and makes COVID even less of an alarm for the general public...

Again, an education campaign on how to view the daily numbers released will do wonders to allay the anxieties and worries. Most sinkees look at the over 2K numbers infected will just take the surface value and worry unnecessarily. If there is an understanding of the numbers, most sinkees will realise here is very little to fear. The COVID of 2021 is very different from the COVID of 2020. The real gamechanger is the vaccine and our high rates.
 
Yup, need to wait out 6 months & need to register previously.

I was saying no need to book for appointment starting 01 Oct.

W.T.F.F.

I think we are living a "capsuled" life about Covid.
Its all heng-sway.
Just like an accident.
You may take all the precautions, but somehow, you are hit by an inconsiderate driver.
Life is such.
I just take one day at a time.
If I die from Covid, let it be.
I may also die from any other freak accidents.


All said and argued, the vaxx is not 100% effective for everyone.
A very small percentage will have serious complications.

Just take one day at a time.
No point frighten yourself by the news or the statistics.
You are you, I am I.

Cheers, and Raincheck....Baa Baa Baa.....

Very true. No 100% guarantees in life except death. :biggrin:
 
Your greatest fear will come true. Viruses mutate . That’s what they do best.

and when borders open soon, more variants will come in .

so hide at home . Bolt the doors . shut the windows . Never ever come out again because it’s endemic

one tiny mistake will kill you and your family .
What i mean is you should first understand the Delta variant potency by studying from other countries and tailor the measures to Singapore appropriately. Singapore is not the same as US or China or India. We are a densely populated city state. And people density is where the virus will thrive. We should ask ourselves if we should wait a little longer when the population gets 90% vaccinated before fully opening up because this Delta virus is a known unknown to us. Should we get more seniors vaccinated first and if not we should tell them to stay home until we have a better grasp of the Delta virus ? Because from what we know from the cases in India, Europe and US, the seniors , when contracted with the Delta virus , especially those with underlying medical conditions, get worse and die.
Instead , we have focused on low death rate data and our healthcare coping system , because we think we can manage it with the little knowledge we have.

how low death rate is acceptable to you?
 
how low death rate is acceptable to you?
As low as you can possibly manage. If we can get 100% of the population vaccinated , why not do it ? If we can allow the Delta variant die off first , then do an assessment and reopen in phases , why not do it ? Is there a mad rush to open everything so fast and then hit into a tsunami of infections and record deaths from Covid in just a month's time ? Death count has no meaning if we are able to prevent it in the first place. We are not dealing with digits like some faceless binary dots on the computer. We are dealing with people's lives. Even one death is too many.

for the delta variant to die off it means a solid hard lockdown with absolutely zero movement worldwide for 1 month

how do you propose to implement that?

please let me know
 
That truly will be a situation where the cure is worse than the disease. People will not die from COVID19 but from the lockdown n no work.
 

Singapore’s coronavirus cases could reach 10,000 a day in next two weeks​

https://www.scmp.com/week-asia/arti...us-cases-could-reach-10000-day-next-two-weeks

A leading Singapore-based infectious diseases modelling expert has suggested the country’s Covid-19 cases could reach 10,000 a day in two weeks if the current pace of infections continues, while questions mount over whether mass testing of asymptomatic patients is doing more harm than good.

The high daily caseload is not in itself a cause for alarm, given the nation’s high vaccination rate. Official data showed that of about 28,000 people infected over the last 28 days, about 98 per cent had no, or mild, symptoms. 1.6 per cent required additional oxygen and 0.2 per cent were severely ill.

Alex Cook, vice-dean of Singapore’s Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health, said his projections showed that daily new infections in the city state would surpass 5,000 next week, with the figure doubling the week after.
 
Govt won’t rule out return to circuit breaker or heightened alert if Covid-19 cases in ICUs rise sharply: Lawrence Wong
https://www.todayonline.com/singapo...-heightened-alert-if-covid-19-cases-icus-rise

SINGAPORE — The Government will not rule out a return to a heightened alert phase or imposing a circuit breaker like it did last year if the number of Covid-19 cases admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) goes up sharply, Finance Minister Lawrence Wong said on Monday (Sept 6).

The system broke down when covid cross the 1,000 mark and if it reaches 10x that , there will be utter chaos.

Now they rope in the SAF, and since when was the SAF trained to be a medical/ambulance force?
Are the small number of SAF medics trained to deal with covid when even hospitals staff are struggling to deal with it.
As for the PA, the less talk about it the better.
As someone already mentioned, all these billions spent on weapons of destruction, but totally useless against a microscopic virus that is invading the core
