My sons dr is having him tested for Cystic Fibrosis (CF). I was wondering if there were parents out there that has a child with CF. What is it like? What does the child struggle with besides weight? I already looked on the net and read some about it, but I was wanting real people to tell me what is is like. Thanks!

I SEEK HELP FROM ANYBODY.....Please tell me how can the death of my grand-mother (She is now at the last stage of CANCER) be less painful or even painless.( It may sound odd, but I still hope someone has the answer……)

Grand-mother is priceless to me. All along her life she kept on thinking about us (her sons, daughter& grand-children) and took care of us. She never looked at her own health. She is now 65.

A few days ago, she fainted in the kitchen as her body was terribly weak and thin. We admitted her to nearby hospital with wound at the back of head.
After medical supervision & diagnosis it was reported that she has obstructive jaundice caused by the tumor in her pancreas. The doctor suspected something wrong….after a few more tests it was revealed that the tumor has turned into CANCER.

NOW HER DEATH IS A MATTER OF TIME.

I would be highly obliged to the person who can tell me………how the rest few days of HER life would be least painful to her……………..and us.

I know neither is the best to detect this kinda stuff but would a normal x-ray or an ultrasound be better to detect something like bladder cancer? thanks

Im in a new relationship and we have already been intimate. Kind of a suprise, throws of passion thing, but we have either way.

Now - how do I let him know that I have herpes?

This guy and I are talking about a serious future and everything. This is the last secret I have from him.

I contracted it through HSV1, or cold sores. I have had cold sores my entire life.

What do I say? How do I say it? Over email? When?
I need to know exactly. Im really scared and I feel terrible for letting the intimacy happen before i told him anything,,,,

Please no mean comments. Im looking for real help, not some jerk answers.

We already received help from local organisations,Friends and from the mayor of our city.
Do you guys think that the medicines are cheap?
Or do you think she is living with it from yesterday?
For five years she is suffering like that.
What's wrong with you people.
And by the way we live in Bangladesh,which is in Asia that is why American Cancer Society, American Lung
Association will not help us.

Until december last year the eye had 6 diopters steady, clear focus, no pain, etc.

In december the eye got a night corneal errosion (notable pain, burning sensation), diagnosed and treated by doctors in the following days.

However, along with that, a pain started inside and around the eye , seemingly alongside the trigeminal nerve It is a dull, permanent pain, related to and seemingly affected by light; it would go away at night and it would return at the first sense of light (even with closed eye!) and increase throughout the day.
Vision was slightly worse, as when your eye is tired, but overall acceptable.
That pain is still here - daily amd, recently, throughout the night as well; it's like an overstretched muscule.

Since about July the vision got drasticly worse: object edges are now out of foucs, each with a few "aureas". Increasing diopter/angle does not help. Only closing the lense size (looking through small hole) does.

Local university docs can't help.
Can you?
