Meningitis victims face long, uncertain recovery

OCALA, Fla. (AP) ? Vilinda York lies in her Florida hospital bed, facing a dry-erase board that lists in green marker her name, her four doctors and a smiley face.

Also on the board is this: "Anticipated date of discharge: NOT YET DETERMINED."

The 64-year-old contracted fungal meningitis after receiving three tainted steroid shots in her back. She's one of 284 people nationwide who are victims of an outbreak that began when a Massachusetts compounding pharmacy shipped contaminated medication. Twenty-three people have died.

Like many trying to recover, York, who has been hospitalized since Sept. 27, faces a long and uncertain road. Many people have died days or even weeks after being hospitalized. Fungal meningitis ? which is not contagious ? is a tenacious disease that can be treated only with powerful drugs.

"I'm determined I'm going to fight this thing," she said. "The devil is not going to win."

Dr. William Schaffner, an infectious disease specialist who chairs Vanderbilt University's Department of Preventive Medicine, said the treatment includes intravenous anti-fungal medicines that are tricky to use.

"These are powerful drugs. They're toxic," he said. "You're walking a tightrope because you want to get enough into a patient to have the therapeutic effect while at the same time you're trying not to affect, or to minimize the effect on the liver and kidneys."

Even after leaving the hospital, he said, patients will continue antifungal drugs for weeks or months.

The infectious disease doctor handling York's case did not immediately respond to a phone message.

When York talks about the last six weeks, tears run down her cheeks. She knows the disease is deadly. And if she needed a reminder, it's right there in the headline from a local newspaper on her hospital bed: "Third death reported in Marion County from fungal meningitis."

For York, 2012 started well. The retired clothing shop clerk and widow from Illinois was doing water aerobics three times a week, tending to her flower garden and spending time with church friends. They'd get together at Olive Garden and Red Lobster a couple of times a week and go to church every Sunday.

On Jan. 21, she was on her way to a wedding when she got into a car crash. It wasn't enough to put her in the hospital, but she did suffer back problems.

The pain was strong enough for her to visit a doctor at Marion Pain Clinic, where she received two steroid shots on Aug. 16. A week later, the pain was still there and she began feeling headachy, nauseous and dizzy. She chalked it up to her back and got a third shot Aug. 28.

In the weeks that followed, her health deteriorated. She couldn't lie down without extreme back pain. A friend gave her a recliner to sleep in. The headaches grew severe, sharp pains shooting from all directions into her skull.

"I couldn't walk well, I couldn't see good and I could wipe the sweat off my arms," she said.

On Sept. 27, her legs and arms grew numb. The numbness flowed upwards to her waist. That's when she called 911.

"I didn't know whether I was getting ready for a stroke," she said.

When she arrived at the hospital, doctors took a spinal tap and discovered she had meningitis.

Health officials have noticed that the sickest patients with meningitis are those who either did not catch the symptoms early or who didn't receive appropriate treatment early because doctors didn't know what they were dealing with. The fungi become harder to kill once they have established themselves in a person's body.

"If treatment is given early, it is very effective," said Dr. David Reagan, medical officer for Tennessee, where the outbreak was first detected. "If it is given late, it is not very effective."

Most of the positively identified cases are caused by Exserohilum rostratum (ex-sir-oh-HY-lum ross-TRAH-tum). The fungus is commonly found in the environment, but it has never before been observed as a cause of meningitis.

Because of that, Reagan said, officials have been unable to firmly establish the incubation period and give those who received the tainted injections a date for when they will no longer need to worry about developing meningitis.

"We're saying at least six weeks, or 42 days, but we probably will extend that," he said. "This is new territory. There's no literature to tell us how long."

In York's case, doctors initially thought she had bacterial meningitis, but when she told them about the steroid shots, doctors began to assemble a theory. On Sept. 25, the New England Compounding Center had voluntarily recalled three lots of the steroid methylprednisolone acetate.

York's three shots were that steroid ? and the Marion Pain Clinic had gotten some of the tainted medicine, health officials said.

York said a doctor from Marion Pain Clinic visited her in the hospital and told her about the contaminated shots. The doctor was crying as she spoke, York added.

York passes her days by talking on the phone to two children and three grandchildren who live out of state, receiving visitors from her church and reading the Bible.

She's lost more than 10 pounds in the past month. She realizes she's not the woman she once was; now she's pale and weak whereas before, she liked to put on a little makeup, fix up her short brown hair and go for a walk. The only time she has walked since Sept. 27 was to shuffle to the shower on Oct. 17.

"I got to shampoo my hair and the whole nine yards," she smiled. "I enjoyed it tremendously."

York is worried about whether the meningitis will have lasting effects on her body, and she's concerned about the powerful anti-fungal medication she's taking. Doctors have had to pause the treatment because they were concerned about her liver and kidney.

York has filed a lawsuit against NECC claiming negligence, and her lawyer is getting calls from others who were sickened.

She says she's "blessed, not lucky," to be alive at this point.

"I want to get out of here," she said. "I want to go home, I want to live a normal life again. God still has a plan for me, and I'm looking forward to it."

By Us Weekly

Christina Aguilera shared some "Dirrty" secrets during her Oct. 18 appearance on E!'s "Chelsea Lately."

The "Your Body" singer, 31, agreed to appear on the show if host Chelsea Handler, 37, promised to be pantsless during their interview. "I've heard all about the (vulgar) Chelsea has talked about me not being a fan of wearing pants," Aguilera explained. "So when they asked me to come on I thought, 'I'll do it, if Chelsea does one thing for me....'"

Handler obliged, wearing fishnet stockings and hot pants during their chat. "You look hot," Aguilera told the "Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang" author. "It's a good look for you."

During their sit-down, Aguilera also explained why she prefers to go commando.

"I don't like to wear underwear," the five-time Grammy Award winner said. "I like to be as free as possible at all times. It's just who I am."

"It's empowering," she added. "It's (vulgar) power!"

Do you have a website identity crisis? ? Toronto Web Design and ...

Website Identity Crisis - Internet Marketing Company - Online Marketing Company TorontoIt?s Small Business Week and there is plenty to do, tradeshows, conferences, seminars and networking. I?ve enjoyed attending several events so far, most notably, Markham Small Business Forum and Enterprise Toronto Small Business Forum.

At the Markham Convergence Centre, there was a great Panel of Entrepreneurs focused on start-ups and micro-biz called: ?Getting Out of the Basement?. The panel included Louie Belcastro, President of The Classic Cuisine; Mike Holmes, President of The Cleaning Guy; and Winston Stewart, Director of Operations for Wincon Security. They told some great genuine stories of how they built their business from scratch and how they made the leap from ?dining-room table? to the boardroom table. The common theme here was drive and perseverance; the core of entrepreneurial spirit. In addition, there was some major life event that motivated them and helped them make the decision to be an entrepreneur. It was very inspiring and insightful.

What else I found interesting was the fact that they funded their respective businesses early on with only family seed money. None of them reached out to the banks until, at earliest, 7 years into operations!

At the Metro Convention Centre, the Enterprise Toronto Small Business Forum was buzzing! Always a great show for start-ups and micro-businesses looking to get some great and FREE information on growing your business. I especially appreciated the seminar on building an online strategy for your small business. Marie confirmed the importance of a web strategy in today?s world and continued to shape her presentation around creating a strong website identity and presence.

Speaking of website identity and presence? these two terms seem to be used interchangeably by many entrepreneurs when the topic of Internet marketing arises, which should not be the case; I?m often asked this question during my Internet marketing seminars. I believe this confusion is what regularly misleads a small business Internet marketing strategy and as a result, creates minimal return for your small business Internet marketing strategy.

In general, an identity is who you are.? More specifically, as it pertains to your small business, what does your business represents; arguably, your brand. Your presence is where your business exists outside of your identity, your image or how the rest of the world sees you.

Bringing it back to your Internet marketing strategy, your web identity IS your website. Your web presence is where you choose to exist in the ever growing world of social media and web marketing to tell consumers: ?Hey! This is who I am, come and check me out!? You can have a web identity without a web presence (your success will be debatable) but you can?t have a web presence without a web identity. That is, creating a Facebook account is just not enough.

In the end, find out where your target market is and this will determine where you should establish a web presence; but it is your web identity, your website, that will help the consumer understand who you are, build the trust and ultimately, purchase your product or service.

Your website is your 7-24-365 sales ?person? who never goes to sleep ? it?s your online identity, so, be sure to treat it with care!

Recent 32311 Home Sales - Tallahassee Real Estate Blog

32311 Home Sizes

I was reviewing 32311 home sales this morning for a client who wants to sell a home. She asked if I would prepare a zip code report like the recent ones for 32308, 32309, and 32312. Additionally, she asked me what she should expect in terms of value and time to sell.

The good news is that there are plenty of 32311 home sales happening, so we have the real estate liquidity required to give her an accurate assessment of her home value. Currently, there are 251 homes for sale in the 32311 zip code.

Additionally, due to the nature of the current market trends, we told her to expect a contract within the first two weeks (more on that later).

But home value trends are another story altogether.

The real estate graph above shows that 32311 home sales are exhibiting the same size trends as the rest of the Tallahassee real estate market. Buyers are choosing larger homes today than they have in the past.

32311 Home Prices

The average 32311 home price has stayed fairly consistent since 2008, hovering very close to $200,000.

32311 Home Prices

32311 Home Values

Home values continue to slide in the 32311 zip code, and the primary reason relates to supply and demand. Even as demand for homes in Tallahassee was falling over the past five years, there has been no shortage of new construction of homes in this Southeast Tallahassee area.

32311 Home Values

Non Arms Length 32311 Home Sales

This next graph is the one that should cause you concern if you need to sell a home in the 32311 zip code in the next few years. As you can see, more than a third of all 32311 home sales have been distressed sales (short sales, foreclosures, etc.) this year, and the trend is rising.

YTD 32311 Home Sales

So, why did I tell my homeowner that she should plan to sell her 32311 home in two weeks or sooner? The answer is painful, but simple. There are enough buyers registered on our site looking and buying homes in the 32311 zip code to know that she can sell it right away.

But looking at the graph above, we can see that demand in the 32311 is at at 10+ year low and 32311 home values are falling. The longer she takes, the less she should expect to yield upon a sale. It?s in her best interest to market the home aggressively and to sell it fast.
