My daughter had a rectovaginal fistula. She was 10 years old and died from leukemia. But i have reason to believe she was molested and that the same person also molested my other daughter..I was just wondering what are the causes of this type of fistula and could it be that the fistula was caused by her being molested?? This is very important please dont be mean with your answers. thank you

My cousin was hysterical when she call, she has 2hrs - 2months to live. I thought she said "nannette's disease" - she had ringing in her ear, then paralysis in her lt leg - she was tested for lymes, HIV, etc - this morning she woke up and is blind in her left eye and she has lesions on her spine that will continue to produce until they take over her body. Any idea what this terminal disease is?

Well I recently had a cold and then bronchitis( I think it bronchitis I usually develop after a cold but don't have the money to go to the dr now). It been about a week but I am still wheezing alot. The cough sound productive but nothing really comes up. I lay in bed and listen to wheezing sound that comes out of me. When I wake up in the morning my chest feel so tight. I was just wondering if anyone develop asthma from bronchitis. I am also a smoker trying quick.

I have been sick for about a month maybe longer. I've been on antibiotics, steroid shots and now has put me on this medication and antibiotics again. Hes saying I am having asthma attacks, I would have to say something else is at play here because I have had attacks before but not ones that last for a months.

Many athletes use 100% oxygen on the sidelines. Has there been studies done to see if there is any tissue damage from chronic exposure to high concentration of oxygen?

Around the bottom edge of my heels, I get deep cracks that often split open an bleed. I have been to more than one Dr. and have been treated with various creams and urea 40% lotion. All of them work while you use them, but nothing seems to cure the problem. Does anyone know of a cure for such a thing?
