My boyfriend made some soup on Friday evening and I was fine until Saturday morning when I was at work. Suddenly, I developed liquid diarrhea over and over again. Finally, here it is Monday afternoon and the diarrhea has stopped (i think). I did not vomit, I never ran a fever or had a stomach ache. I did feel bloated yesterday and never really lost my appetite too bad. I probably had between 8 and 10 diarrhea stools daily for 2 days.
Do you know anything about this. Could I have gotten something like campylobacter, e coli, or salmonella. I think one of these causes diarrhea without vomiting.
He fixed some type of bean soup with some ham in it (who knows how old it was sitting in the fridge or what else was in it, or how old the ham) I am not sure what all was in the soup. He has some diarrhea too.
I have a raw butt and am very weak now. I remember having a pt about 5 years ago who had campylobacter and she did the same thing with no emesis.
Do you know anything about

My mom died of over a week ago. She died on her 64th birthday. She had breast cancer, but died of sepsis. She was diagnosed 3 years ago and it seems that she suffered for about the last 4 months.

I miss her.

Sometimes I scratch my head/scalp and feel a clear, viscous fluid seeping in a spot (different spots) Later, if I touch that area the fluid has hardened into a thin scabby material almost like dry skin or dandruff. I do get dandruff/dry scalp sometimes but this stuff isn't that.

So we all know that Eddie Van Halen has/had cancer and he is recently divorced (or separated) from his wife, Valerie. Apparently he has been drinking a lot and not taking the best care himself but why do so many people criticize him, his appearance and what he does? He is a human being who just happens to be dealing with a ton of issues and knowing a person who is dealing with or lost their life to cancer - I get sick of radio DJ's and thousands of other cancer-free people make light of what he is going through. I believe he needs counselling and will make it through this and hopefully make a good spokesperson about surviving cancer.

Another cat adopted me and ever since she has been in the house I have had itchy skin!! My skin breaks out in these little tiny bumps that look like tiny mosquito bites concentrated in one area, about 4 or 5 inches in diameter. Could it be my cat, or a spider, or seasonal allergies, which I already have. I just didnt think my skin would break out!!

Does anyone know the ramifications of abusing alcohol while receiving chemotherapy? What is the effect? My mother in law is currently undergoing chemo for stage 3 ovarian cancer. The problem is that she is a major alcoholic. She has recently (in the last few weeks) she has gone back to her old ways of drinking heavily. Anyone who has known of this situation who can comment? Thanks in advance.

Years ago, I read of experiments where mice or other experimental animals were keep up for many days (more than 5, I think) and died because of it. I have also read of experiments were human subjects were kept up for 3 or 4 days and began to suffer serious halucinations.

Can anyone confirm either of these?
