Diseases & Conditions - 13 July 2006

Some bruises have appeared on my legs. It's very possible I could have bumped myself there but I don't remember doing so. So far they only appear on the thigh, and one on the calf. There are a few (two I counted) on the other leg as well, but they're very small and barely noticeable. I do feel fatigued at times, but I don't feel any joint pains or any pains in general. I noticed them only a few days ago. I would rather not go to a doctor because I've been to the doctor so many times within the last month already. It's getting expensive and they always tell me the same thing. There's no pain when I touch them either.

I just got new glasses about a month ago. Seemed fine at first but after working all day ( I sew for a living) my eyes are unable to focus. Dr. checked for cataracts and I do have them but Dr. says they are not by any means bad enough to cause the problems I am having. Driving me crazy. Any ideas?

I grow facial hair, and once I missed 6 periods. It was during a very stressful time in my life last year. I'm not overweight, and I don't have trouble losing it. Does anyone have this problem?

A family member has stage 4 lung cancer. He went through radiation on the brain and chemotherapy. Recent scans show that the cancer has shrunk and remained stable. However, the patient has recently become very confused, thin, and weak. The doctors insist that all of his symptoms are caused by the cancer. However, we are not so convinced. He is on many medications, including several very strong pain meds. The doctors think this is the end, and that his body could shut down anytime now. Are we in denial?

I saw a Q recently about someone's mother dying of cancer. The questioner was obviously distraught. My cat died of lung cancer and never smoked a cigarette in its life. No, I am not knocking anything or anyone... but it does make you wonder.

My teen daughter has a pretty bad case of it. It keeps spreading. It started out on her arms, and days later it's on her stomach, legs, neck and back.

She is using calomime lotion and some anti-itch stuff. She's also taking Benedryl. Nothing seems to help.
