When I was a baby I contracted debilitating diseases. The doctors cured me, but I have minor to severe chronic stomach pains. Should I tell my pediatrician about these stomachackes or just ignore them because they're probably permanent side affects of the diseases I can contracted. Thanks.

I asked this a little while ago, but I think that I was not clear enough. I just saw a documentary about World Health Organization doctors treating an ebola epidemic in Africa. After the first wave of infection and death, there were a few infected villagers who pulled thru and recovered. When there was a smaller secondary outbreak, some of the doctors did transfusions from the survivors to the new cases. And all the transfusion receipients survived. Why can't this technique be used to cure any disease, as long as their is one person who has overcome it?
I am not refering to a full blood replacement, but rather the normal transfusion of a few pints from the disease survivor to the currently infected. And I am not asking if this would be a good panacea technique, but rather if it could work for some infectious diseases that we have no better treatments for.

a friend's boy has been exposed to it at school, and today has the symtoms (sore throat) but no rash. She's taking him in in an hour, but has 19 kids coming to a restaurant for his 8th b'day party in 5 hours..& doesn't know what to do. I told her to look for 'sandpaper like' skin, and red tounge, and redness in his groin & armpits, but I was wondering if any mom's reading this have known about S.F. without the rash & would he still be contageous?

I have seen many doctors, GP's. neuros and infectious disease specialist that all have said there is no Lyme Disease in Tennessee. It took an opthalmologist to find it when I went completely blind for no apparent reason. I have since lost my vision 6 times and so far with the injections and the drops every hour and the drops to keep my eyes dilated I feel fortunate that he was able to save my vision. I just wondered if anyone else here in TN had some of the same problems, ie.. migraines, aches, pains that are excrutiating.

Thanks for any comment you may have.

He contacted Mrsa after hip replacement surgery. It tested in his lungs but he never did get ill from it. He has been on antiobiotics. It's been months and none of us has gone around him because we have small children and were afraid of contracting it. He has had the nose swab tests done and it always comes back positive. Will he ever test negative?

He's elderly and we want to be able to visit but our concerned with the chance that we or our young children will contract it.

My child was vaccinated with MMR and varicella vaccines 9 days ago. He goes to day care and there has been a reported case of chicken pox in a child that is in the same room as him at the school. I found out about the case yesterday. Today he is quickly developing a rash on his back and abdomen which could be chicken pox. So the question is - is this a reaction to the vaccine, or did he develop chicken pox naturally? He has also had diarrhea for the last 5 days. Otherwise he is acting well.

Despite sounding like a crazy dream, I seem to recall a minor UK children's TV presenter voluntarily injecting herself with the AIDS virus. Whether this was some kind of bizarre experiment or a desperate attempt to revive a flagging career, I cannot recall, but I wanted to confirm that this did indeed occur. I await your answers.
