Hi,
My friend has been hospitalized in 2 dif hospitals for 3 weeks now. She has had multiple MRI's, CAT scans, Spinal taps, blood work, you name it, and they CANNOT get a diagnosis.

One team of doctors thinks cancer. She has a nodule in one lung, a mass on her spine and something in her brain that they can't tell what it is. However, all the tests show "inconclusive".

The other team thinks TB, but her TB test is neg and her lungs show no TB..They think it settled in her spine instead of lungs. I've never heard of this...STILL there is NO diagnosis.

She is wasting away, weak, lost over 20 pounds. Her symptoms started w/severe headache and vomiting. She's been sick 6 weeks or more. It's affecting her short term memory BADLY. No fever. It just doesn't make sense.

They thought maybe a fungal infect. in her brain, but they dont know. This is getting SCARY. PLEASE, if you have been through this or know anyone who has, I'd really appreciate a response.

THANK YOU

Yesterday I was diagnosed with epilepsy. I'm having complex partial seizures. I've been put on Keppra & have to prove that I haven't had a seizure for 3 months before I can start driving again. I have no problem with obeying this law, but my doctor told me that according to Arizona law that I have to go to the MVD & fill out a form letting them know that I have been diagnosed with epilepsy within five days of the diagnosis. Then after 3 months of not having a seizure I need to go back & fill out a form stating that I haven't had a seizure. So here's the deal: I have no problem not driving for three months, but I have issues with the government knowing my business...especially medical related. Is it better to fill out the form and comply with the MVD's rules or not fill out the form, but adhere to my doctor's recommendation? I read somewhere that it is recommended to fill out the form because it covers me from liability. But I'm worred that my insurance will find out & stop coveraged.

My sinuses and ears hurt. This prescription Vikadin is cutting the pain, a little. I feel like I want to barf, but I don’t know if it is my inner ear, or the Vikadin. I'm going nuts this morning! I can't eat! I can't think! Is it the pain or the dumb drug that is driving me nuts? I’m getting a CT scan this afternoon, and then they might find out why I am in such pain.

For now, what can I do keep my mind off the pain? I can’t meditate at work. I suppose I could just put my headphones on and crank up Phil Collins??

What do you do? I just need somthing to control the pain for a few hours until the doc can do somthing!
