Woman can’t feel pain of others Dear Abby: I lost my father suddenly six years ago. He was 56 and I was 25. I had always been Daddy’s girl, and it took me a long time to deal with his death. My problem is I’m unsympathetic to everyone around me now. I’ll give you an example. A woman I work with is 60 and both her parents are still living, although her father is in failing health. She talks endlessly about his poor health and how it takes up all her time. Most people feel bad for her, but I resent the fact that she’s upset that her dad is 86 and dying, when my dad died so young. I feel like I am becoming a cold, unfeeling person and I don’t know how to stop it. Can you help? — Unsympathetic Dear Unsympathetic: I don’t think you are cold, unfeeling or unsympathetic. You may still not be over the loss of your father. The late Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross broke the grieving process into five stages: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. It might be helpful for you to discuss your concerns with a licensed mental health professional who can help you work this through. And in the meantime, when your co-worker raises the subject of her pain at losing her father -- which I’m sure you identify with — explain that it’s too painful for you to hear
Dear Abby Abigail van Buren
and excuse yourself. Dear Abby: We have a “situation” at work that is becoming intolerable. Our new boss of four months joins us for our coffee breaks and lunches. It is awkward, to say the least. The other secretaries and I look forward to our breaks as a time to unwind (and talk about the salespeople and our bosses if we need to vent). Now we can’t speak freely. Even worse, the woman has atrocious table manners. She talks the entire time she’s eating -- chomping, slurping and spraying food all over. It’s disgusting. We brown-bag our lunches because we can’t afford to eat out. We know we can’t tell our boss she isn’t welcome in the break room. Any ideas on how we can handle this? — Nauseated Dear Nauseated: Allow me to offer a couple. Schedule your breaks so you aren’t all taking one at once, which will make it more difficult for your new boss to join you. And at lunch, break into groups and take your brown bags off the premises if possible. That way, all of you won’t have to tolerate her every day.
Info on sickle-cell anemia Dear Dr. Gott: A lady stated that her grandson would awaken crying with severe pain in his wrists, ankles, knees and hands. These could be the result of sickle-cell disease. I was the mother of a child with sickle cells. I remember my 6-month-old baby waking up crying in pain. The doctors could not find anything wrong until they tested for sickle cell. He was in a sickle-cell crisis. Since this is a hereditary disease found mostly in African-Americans and some Latinos, you should have asked the grandmother about her nationality. Dear Reader: Symptoms of sickle cell include anemia (low levels of RBCs and hemoglobin), jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), delayed growth, frequent infection, hand-foot syndrome (swelling of the hands and feet), visual problems and episodes of pain, also known as sickle-cell crises. Complications include gallstones, pulmonary hypertension, acute chest syndrome, stroke, organ damage, skin ulcers and priapism. There is no certain cure, but there is a potential for one with bone-marrow transplant; however, finding a matching donor is difficult, and the procedure

Ask Dr. Gott Dr. Peter M. Gott itself carries serious, even life-threatening, risks. Treatment options include antibiotics for children, pain relievers during crises and hydroxyurea, a cancer-treatment drug that may be beneficial to those with severe disease. Some people also benefit from red-blood-cell transfusions and supplemental oxygen therapy. It is also important to assess and monitor stroke risk. Several experimental treatments currently being studied may bring new hope. These include gene therapy, nitric oxide, butyric acid, Nicosan and clotrimazole. Home care includes stress reduction, remaining hydrated, eating a balanced diet, supplemental folic acid, avoiding extreme temperatures and high altitudes and more.
