She was rostered off work and given varicella zoster specific immunoglobulin by her obstetrician. A few days later she developed chickenpox. She subsequently gave birth to a normal infant weighing 3050 g. a) Why was the immunoglobulin injection not effective in preventing chickenpox in this case? The nurse's daughter had already presented with symptoms (skin lesions) for too long prior to her notification for the varicella zoster specific immunoglobulin to be of effect, as it should be administered within 96 hours of contact with the infection (South Australian Perinatal Practice Guidelines Workgroup 2010).

This disease is mostly a “diagnosis of exclusion” (WebMD.com) meaning the doctor must rule out other conditions that can cause the very similar symptoms to those of fibromyalgia. To rule out the more serious conditions a doctor will most likely run specific blood tests. Some of the tests may be a complete blood count or CBC, a test to check glucose levels, and a thyroid test to check and make sure the thyroid is working properly. An under active thyroid or hypothyroidism can cause the fatigue, muscle aches, weakness, and depression all of which are common symptoms often experienced in suffers of fibromyalgia.
After hundreds of trailed and failed pharmaceutical drugs they resulted to using a controversial medication – Cannabis Oil. The results were astounding; Cheri speaks of her child going from a dazed and uncontrollable state to being able to walk and communicate within 15 minutes.
