Health - 26 October 2006

I was a breach baby, in fact, I was in the womb sideways. And rather than do a C-section, my FAMILY doctor delivered me naturally. Think he must have just yanked the hell out me because i was born with a compound fracture of the right arm and a black eye. But it gets better. They couldn't get me to breath for six minutes and it screwed up my pituitary gland in my brain. The pituitary gland secretes growth hormone and tells all the other glands what to do. As a result, I am short (5'5"), and I have to take both oral and injected steriods for the rest of my life (plus Thyroid meds). All this could have been prevented by a C-cection.
Didn't they know how to do them in 1953? Or were very few done or what?

A friend had pushed me and I fell straight back and smacked my head on a concrete floor. I blacked out for 4 minutes. When I woke up my friends carried me into the house and I slept for 3 or 4 hours. When I woke up, I had a bump the size of a tennis ball on the back of my head. Is it possible that I had a concussion? I did not seek medical treatment because I had been drinking and was underage at the time. Is it possible that I could have any kind of permanent damage from this?

I woke up wednesday morning with wat looked like mozzy bites.. i threw up not even 5 mins of waking up... anyway.. it wasnt to bad then.. later that day they got really itchy and it had now looked like hives.. Mum went to the chemist to get some antihistamine tablets and some cream. I had a shower to which i collapsed suddenly to the floor. Feeling really dizy and faint. Thursday I couldnt stand up or sit up without feeling really ill by this stage whatever it is had spread all over my body. Mum took me to the doctors, we showed him, and he said it was an allergic reaction to something. He gave me some medication and now its going down on my legs, but as for my back its sorta worse... My face feels tender and slightly swollen.

We cannot figure out as to what it could of been caused from.. Any Ideas?

The only thing I can think of is that my boyfriends brother had a rash when i was there last.. I had no idea till my bf told me over the fone last night. Does anyone know?
