I am curious to know what disease or diseases people have and what are the biggest misconceptions that people have about your disease. What is the hardest part about having the disease that you have? Serious responses only please.

last summer in august, i was 3 times exposed to cane burning on maui. i became very ill: coughing, blisters in nose that spread to throat, vocal chords, dripped down to stomach. then became nauseous and weak all the time, then bed ridden and heart problems, then blacking out when i went out to get food and then uncontrolled retching that was only stopped via IVs. could DDE and dioxin poisoning from the burnt pesticides used in the cane fields cause full-on diabetes as i eventually went into a diabetic coma? they burn cane 277 days a year, and i am still coughing ... and now using insulin for the diabetes.

I had a surgical biopsy done when I had my lumpectomy done at the same time. Can Dr's tell with there naked eye if they think something is cancerous or not, or do they have a good idea?

Ok.. so I went hiking to day. I was wearing a pair of pants that went completely down to my ankles that were not ripped. If there was poison ivy on the hiking path and it rubbed against my leg, would I still get a poison ivy rash from it?

I live in another country than my friend so we can only communicate via the Internet and the phone. He's had some strange kind of rash and from time to time swollen legs for about three months now. He refused to see a doctor for a long time but finally went to see a dentist who told him that he got an infection due to his bad teeth and that he'd need to get some antibiotics from a doctor. He has not done that so far as I know and today is the third day in a row that I haven't heard anything from him. Neither has he signed in to the web pages he usually visits daily. I'm really a bit worried now because some time ago he mentioned that his disease was life-threatening (which on the other hand implies that he had seen a doctor, doesn't it?). Does anyone know something about this kind of infection or how dangerous it is? Maybe this is a strange question or I'm overreacting but I really worry about him. Only serious answers please!!!

Okay, I'm super white and want to stay that way (I'm all Irish). My phobias are the sun and aging (wrinkles, etc). How can I best prevent sun damage and the aging thing?
1.) I just heard someone say that wearing makeup with spf in it cancels out the actual sunblock you have on underneath or that it just protects you with the makeup's lower spf. Is this true? is it best to just wear foundation w/o spf?
2.) I check labels on sunblocks for their active ingredients. I know some are better than others (Heard Avobenzone and titanium dioxide are best) and started noticing some have higher %-ages than others. What is the best sunblock that I can buy with the highest amounts and best ingredients?
3.) other than benzoyl peroxide and retinol-based things make you more sensitive to the sun?
4.) what is my best strategy for slowing the cosmetic aging process/preventing things? should i stick with lotions etc or save up and get procedures at a dr's office. I just heard of an "electrical facelift"
