Diseases & Conditions - 1 October 2007

My aunt acted like my mother for 10 years since I was a baby. When I already grew up I help her by running errands. She thanked me for it. But she got breast cancer and my family don't want her to "go" away. I want to make her live longer to thank her for everything that she did. She is now 60 years old and she stood out as a nanny to every young relatives of us. I kept on praying but I need to double my work to ensure her safety.

I don't know how to ask this, but every time I feel cold , my stomach starts to hurt and I'll go diarrhea. It's not just the cold weather, but maybe like a small breeze and it'll reach my spine and then I feel really weak inside. It's been happening lately... I don't know if it's directly related to this but whenever I eat something in the morning I get stomach problems too. Like I never eat breakfast and even if i take a sip of water, my stomach will start hurting and I'll have to use the restroom. Am I just that weak, or is there something wrong?


Thanks.

Syphilis was a ”phobic” Major “ever pervading” Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) some time back. This Disease when once contracted and not treated properly goes deeply every where into the body leaves no tissue in the body unattacked, runs a specific Primary, Secondary and Tertiary stages of courses and goes even into the child in the womb of the suffering mother, causing congenital Syphilis!
In cases where the primary Hunterian chancre is not treated properly in full, it goes steadily deep into the body. During secondary stage it is highly infectious; and in the final tertiary stages of Syphilis there is no tissue / organ in the body that is left unaffected!
But surprisingly we are not hearing much or any thing about this disease now a days. Where has this disease gone?
And now a days wherever we go we hear of HIV-AIDS only!
Does it mean that we have forgotten or eradicated Syphilis?
Or is it that the present HIV-AIDS is a mutation of the Syphilis causing spirochetes!
Or what?

As far as my understanding was, men (although much more unlikely than women) can still get breast cancer.

Why then are certain charity runs/events 'Women only'?

My mother has a foot wound in her heel that's approximately one inch deep. She has type 1 diabetes and insists on walking, despite her condition.

She has no social vices and keeps her diabetes under control, but she's nearing three years with this wound and wants to know if there's anything she can do to make it heal that doesn't require six months of bed rest?

I'm a female and I'm only thirteen, am I too young??

My doctors are toying with a number of different possibilities but its driving me crazy coz they havn't figured it out. Recently one suggested that although unlikely, I may have cancer.
Here are some of my symptoms

* Really bad cramps on lower right abdomen where appendix is (mines out)
* sometimes cramps on lower left side
* I go days without emptying bowels
* In past 5 weeks I have had 4 different stools with blood
* Had 1 lot of loose stool a week ago
* Sometimes mucous in stool (yellow)
* I am always really tired even after a full nights sleep

I'm really worried after what my doctor said and I have asked previous questions and many people have said correctoral cancer or something like that. Please tell me if I am too young or if my symptoms suggest.
Docs have also suggested crohns/ibd/polyps

*btw I am having tests at the moment*

* sometimes cramps on lower left side
* sometimes go days without going to the toilet ( I dont think i'm constipated as I dont have any trouble/straining when I do go)
* In past 5 weeks I have had 4 different stools with blood
* Had 1 lot of loose stool a week ago
* Sometimes mucous in stool (yellow)

If anyone can help please do!!

they are not really pimples they dont have any puss or anything else in them. You can't see them for from a distance but i could feel them on my face and arms. I have had them for my whole life. My friend told me it is caused by sweat. Does anyone know what this is called or has passed experiences with this?
