I am in the early stages of cancer, at the last count i had Liver, Lung, Pelvic and Spinal Cancer. 12 months before i found out about this latest bout of this terrible disease i had Bowel Cancer which resulted in the removal of my lower bowel. There really wasn't time for me to have any feelings about the disease or for it to have any effect on my body, as i got rid of it pretty quick. I now have to wear a bag for the rest of my life (which, according to the Doctors, will be around two years). \nIn regards to this latest cancer, as i said, i am in the early stages, but i am noticing that my hair is starting to fall out due to the chemo, but that is all. When people that know me see me in the street, they comment about how well i look, but i am sure that will change as the disease takes control of my immune system and totally runs rampant through my body.

Good, I see you have been taking him to a Doctor, which would be my first answer.\n\nAnd a second opinion may be in order, has he seen a allergy specialist?\n\nAlso, yes, anti biotics can lose their effectiveness.  And there may be something in the environment that he is particularly sensitive too.\n\nSo book an appointment with an allergist first!! And then take necessary steps to "clean" the environment.  You can't get rid of it if you don't know what it is, which is why I suggest the Doctor FIRST.\n\nGood luck.\n\nPeace.

That is really up to the hemodyalisis doc'. Each case is different. They usually try to hold off as long as possible because you can't  just stop once you start.

I was diagnosed with dermatomyositis about 2 and a half years ago at the age of 18. While it took about a year and a half to see dramatic improvements in my flexibility and muscle strength from medication, I don't think it's possible to be cured of it. I used to be very athletic, working out and playing basketball every day. Now, I'd say I'm around 95-97% better and just as active as I was before. Different people react to medication in different ways.

Count me in. \n\nI took allergy shots for three years and it helped a lot. Now I have mild cases in Spring and very rare cases in the rest of the year. \n\nWhy don't you go to the Immunology Dept. of an University Hospital; they may help with new treatments- at least to minimize the problem.

I have a lot of suggestions but without knowing more about you I am not sure what to recommend. There are many possibilities as to what caused this and finding the cause is half the battle. Something caused your immune system to get screwed up. it can be made better but eliminating the cause will speed the process.

It depends on a few things: how old you were when you had it, how severe your case was, and how healthy you are now.  If you were very young (like, 2 years or younger) it is possible that your body didn't make sufficient antibodies for your adult life.  If you didn't have a very serious case, the same may be true.  If you have a compromised immune system for any reason, you could also be vulnerable.\n\nHowever, if you are healthy, had a pretty solid case previously, and were at least old enough to remember being sick, you're probably okay.  Still, I wouldn't suggest going out of your way to be around your roomates' things.  Wash your hands, get lots of rest, drink lots of fluids - play it safe.

I know this is easier said then done, but I wouldn't worry about it just yet.  Ive had mine for 3 years now and I'm 32 and your body does go through changes all the time.  Just take a deep breath and relax and if things don't change in a week or so, then call a doctor.  I'm a Paramedic and a woman, so just tryin to help 8-)

My wife is the bravest person I know.  She was diagnosed with Lupus at the age of 15.  The doctors told her that her life expectancy would be ten years.  Imagine being told that at fifteen.  Last year she turned 28 and finished dental school.  She is doing great.  We are planning on having our first child next year and have been given the help and support we need by loving and caring doctors.  Our life is wonderful, inspite of this terrible disease.  She has her good days and her bad ones.  Sometimes she can't walk up a flight of stairs or carry in the groceries but we look at eachother and laugh realizing that our kids will probably have to push us around in wheelchairs when we get older.  I love her more than anything and she feels the same about me.  I go to the doctors with her and share in her care.  There is hope out there and you have to find someone who will be willing to take the journey with you.  I'm not saying it's always easy, I have my down days too, but I wouldn't change a thing.  She has made me a stronger man and I have been able to have the life that I only dreamed of.  I wish you the best of luck.  Don't give up hope you'll find someone out there who's willing to share life with you.

Dear Greensomega,\nYou've certainly brought your medical concerns to the right place! The Y!A community members are fully aware of and do appreciate the intimate conditions involving your prognosis.\nMost recognized doctors in the field of medicine would employ a holistic approach to your ailment. Greensomega, please begin your day with a well balanced breakfast to include an ample portion of fruits and grains. After your morning routines are finished, enjoy a brisk walk around the block. If you happen to meet any stray dogs along the way, it would be a good idea to antagonize the creatures in order to add some vigor to your workout.\nNow Greensomega, the remaining portions of your day should be filled with interesting activities and new studies to keep your mind active and in balance, complimentary to what you have done with the physical side of yourself.\nAfter loitering around at the public library all afternoon with a bunch of smelly hobos, you can appreciate a warm bath and time to be good to yourself. Begin to collect an archive of various music genres that you can resolve one day to enjoy after you get the rest of your chores done.\nGreensomega, if after following my advice, simply take two aspirin and forget we ever had this little discussion.\nThank you, Greensomega. Have a great day!\nDr. Zealnik

HI. My son was diagnosed with MODY 3.  You are right there is not a lot of comprehensive information.  What i can tell you is what my late husband experienced, but it's not pleasant.  My son is currenly 13 years old, I don't expect him to show symptoms until he is 16, but we keep him checked.  My husband was diagnosed with diabetes at the age of 24, he had it unbeknownst to him since he was about 17, he did not do the greatest job taking care of it, he had multiple eye surgerys and was diagnosed with kidney failure at the age of 31.  He was on dialysis for 3 years and died on his 35th birthday. It is a very tragic tale, and I am going to do everything I can to keep my son from going that same route.  My late husband was not a drinker, not a smoker and not over weight, but his diabetes was very progressive and aggressive. All I ask is that you PLEASE take this very seriously and take care of yourself.  If you want to chat more on this..I'd love to hear from you.

I certainly agree that you should get a second opinion. You might also want to make an appointment with a dietitian. \n\nThe first doctor is obviously looking at this as an emotional problem, and it might be. Still, a second opinion is warranted. You said it was a restrictive diet, a term I'm not familiar with. All diets are restrictive. Was it a liquid diet? You said you aren't bulemic, so I am assumming that you were not throwing up when you were dieting in order to lose weight. If you were, yes you are bulemic. \n\nFor now, until you see the second doctor, make sure you take vitimins and eat well even if you have to puree your food. Not the best solution, but a band-aid approach just until you get help for your situation. Maybe you have some obscure form of asid reflux or something else. Don't stop seeking help until you get it, even if it means going to several different doctors. \n\nSometimes, in our HMO/PPO driven health care, the doctors herd people through like cattle so they can reach their quota without digging deeply enough. I'd suggest that you take control of your heath care and do a lot of research on the internet. Use search strings like "vomiting after eating," "dieting +vomiting" (where you will no doubt get flooded with articles on bulemia, and "vomiting +disorders +symptoms" or something to that effect. Become an advocte for your health, and keep that attitude throughout your life. For years I was diagnosed with stress enduced asthma and fibromyalgia. It turned out that I had congestive heart failure. Meanwhile, instead of following society's obsession with diet and skinny women, focus on being healthy and fit, whatever your weight.

See a Doctor and have him/her prescribe ASTELLIN and ALLERGRA-D      It cleared me right up.

I'm dreadfully sorry to hear you are ill.\n\nGet all the treatment you can, assume a positive attitude towards your condition. I'm not saying you should enjoy it, but you should approach it from a standpoint that you are going to survive it. Choose life.\n\nDepending on the type of cancer, there are really good therapies and medication available. Talk to your doctor, find out everything you can about your disease, search the internet there's tons of information out there, and do not be intimidated by doctors. Ask them what they mean when they give you jargon, do not be afraid to get a second opinion.\n\nGood luck!

Althought many doctors are still skeptical and there is no definitive test, the symptoms and the fact that your doctor says its post viral indicate he may think it is Chronic Fatigue Syndrom, also known as ME (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis), PVFS (Post Viral Fatigue Syndrome) or CFIDS (Chronic Fatigue Imune Dysfunction Syndrome).  Go back to your doctor, get clarification, if this is what you have, you are lucky you got diagnosed early.  You will need to mainly do your own research and find a doctor who is sympathetic rather than skeptical.  You will have to learn to pace yourself and limit yourself to what you can do before you get tired.  There is still so much unknown about this.  Ihave had it at least 12 years, the last 8 so severely I am often bedbound, but was only diagnosed last year.  I have a friend who had it mild to moderately and has made a full recovery, though it took her four years.  If your doctor says rest, he aint kidding.  Ask him to refer you to a specialist in this condition, not just a neurologist.
