i don't know about the disease but this what i found out so far. My heart goes out to you.  \n\nMicrosporidiosis\nMicrosporidiosis is a devastating, life threatening infection in people with AIDS. It can cause disease all over the body (lungs, eyes, etc), but it most often infects the gut and causes diarrhea. There is no proven treatment. In a number of uncontrolled studies, albendazole has reduced diarrhea.\n\nMicrosporidiosis is hard to diagnose. It can be hard to find even with an electron microscope or biopsy. There are new stool tests (spring, '95) which may help -- call us if you need further info. Many docs use albendazole empirically, meaning they use the drug to do the diagnosis. If the stool test is not conclusive, they'll give you albendazole. If your diarrhea gets better, bingo - the cause was microsporidiosis.\n\nTreating diarrhea is tricky, but important to follow up on. If you have a diagnosis of microspordiosis, and albendazole doesn't, it could be because: 1) it can take up to 2+ months before the drug works, 2) there are different kinds of microsporidiosis, and albendazole works better with some than others (see below), or 3) other bugs are causing the diarrhea.\n\n\nI did not find any information on webmd.

My dad has this condition and has never drank in his life until my Mom passed away.  He couldn't deal with it so he had an alcoholic beverage.  Within 24 hours he had a Grand Mal Seizure in the shower and almost drowned.  He had to be rushed to the ER for a fractured back.  Thank God I found him when I did.  \n\nYou should always ask your Doctor about these things but I wouldn't recommend it.\n\nGood luck and God Bless!

Look for a Shriner's in your area I had Scolios when I was a child and my mom took me to a shriner's clinic where they really took care of the problem. Even if the Shriner's in your area doesn't tend to Osteo related issues, if they believe your case warrants help they'll transport you to their speciality facility that does treat it.

I'm not a doctor but the skin discoloration and balance issues can be a sign of neurofibromatosis.\n\nhttp://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/neurofibromatosis/neurofibromatosis.htm#What_is

not me personally, but I have taken care of many patients with it. You may need to adjust your medications if it is recurring. See your doc.

Yes, I would advise you to visit a doctor. If nothing else it will give you more information and piece of mind on your condition.

There are no medical references to this treatment.\nUsualy the condition is treated with antibiotics, though there has been some success with herbal remedies.\nIf you are determined to avoid expert medical treatment I suggest you ask your doctor to refer you to a qualified medical herbal practitioner.

Proper terminology would be Napoleon Syndrome,and yes it's possible.That's not to say that all short people suffer from this,but there is some scientific evidence that this exists.

It's a condition called "spina bifida" and it varies in severity.  Some people born with this defect go on to live fairly normal lives while others are profoundly disabled.  The doc who said it's nothing to worry about was probably correct, but there's nothing wrong with getting a second opinion.  The opening might possibly be a portal for infection, but most physicians are familiar enough with the condition that they can be accurate in their estimate of the level of such a risk.  If the parents do choose to have further studies done, they should be aware that MRI is expensive, and depending on circumstances, their insurance carrier may decline the cost.  Best bet - have a second pediatrician examine the child and ask him/her to confirm or contest the first doctor's prognosis.  Don't forget, all of us have an odd little hole in our persons that, in rare instances, can be a problem.  It's called the bellybutton.  I suspect the condition in the child in question is no more serious than is your own bellybutton.

unsure what u mean!?\n\nscoliosis is curvature of the spine...\n\n...60 degrees curvature proves to be fatal.\n\n...the cause is unknown or it could be a doctor's mistake...\n\n...having it operated on is expensive no matter where you are if its in a private hospital...if u can get it via public then good luck...if u intend to get operated on...I suggest u get as fit as u can prior to the operation...avoid operations if u can...see chiroprators as much as u need regarding scoliosis...as they are helpful....\n\n...i recommend u do not go and have surgery in india or anywhere  except expensive rich countries like mine, yours, canada, europe and where ever else...cos when u wake up and move making sure you can feel your legs i'm sure u were glad u saved the money!!!  u spend what u need to...I'v done it twice and am fine now...assuming u need the surgery...

Recomend he go see a good chiorpractor, they will work wonders very quickly.  Also, be sure he drinks lots of water.  Dehidration will cause it to be worse.  He can determine how much water to drink by dividing his weight by 2.  He should drink that number of ounces of water every day to help.  Hope he gets better soon.

Last year my son developed a very rare disease, that typically affects toddler age Asian boys ( my white son was 8) it was very uncommon, and we kept going and going to the DR, as more symptoms finally kept coming up,one DR finally thought he recognized it, but my son was forming it atypically, we kept going back, FINALLY diagnosed it!   3 weeks of being horribly ill 104 fever constant for 3 weeks! and 4 days in the hospital, and 6 months of follow up with a cardiologist. My point is KEEP taking her, they will find something, it could be a very rare thing! They brought ALL the personnel in the room to look at my son because NONE had ever seem this disease!!!

it's probably not osteoporosis, it's probably Scoliosis. Which is very common, go see your pediatrician

Hi Jennifer.  I just did a quick search of Medline/Pubmed on this issue.  YES, there are cases reported in the medical literature of tremors resulting from a Vitamin B12 deficiency.  This is relatively rare and generally improves with proper B12 treatment.\n\nWhat is the cause of your B12 deficiency?  Have you been tested for other nutritional absorption/deficiency problems?  You need to take this situation very seriously (even if your doctors don't).\n\nBest wishes and good luck
