Guest guest Posted July 11, 2001 Report Share Posted July 11, 2001 yeah. I'm really attatched to my body parts. literally. why is it such a stretch to not want to part with our body parts? Parts of our bodies...partly incomprehensible. partly mental. parts make up the whole. holistic vs. a----whole comments. Integity means whole. So we need a justification to come to terms with parts and such? hahaha. gg wrote: > When my fibroids were diagnosed, " surgery " was the first word out of my > primary care physicians mouth.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2002 Report Share Posted December 31, 2002 Donna, I just had a flare, (swollen hand joints, joint pain in toes, feet , knees, hands, arms,) I made an appt. with my Rheumy and he gave me a shot, a Lupus flare can be causing you damage that you arent aware of, last time it put me in the hospital becasue it was attacking my gallbladder and liver. I always make my dr. aware of flares so they can document it and treat it. Hope this helps. sure hope you are feeling better soon. Take care.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 mt mother was diagnosed with breast cancer a few years ago, she opted not to have surgery for personal reasons. my problem is that i have a greenish-grey discharge from one of my breasts, i have no insurance yet i am on a waiting list to get it. when i saw my doctor last he said it is an infection more than likely but he would like to do a mammogram and some blood work. my question is should i go have it done before i get the insurance and pay on payments or do you think i have time.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2003 Report Share Posted March 28, 2003 Do you live in the United States? If so, the law about insurance companies not covering pre-existing conditions has changed. Insurance companies in the U.S. are now forced to cover pre-existing conditions whether they like it or not, as long as there is not a lapse longer than, I think, 99 days between insurance policies. Why are you on a waiting list for insurance? If you can't afford it, you are eligible for Medicaire. I don't understand. In any case, I would not wait to get checked out. I accidentally missed a couple of yearly mammograms and by the time I found out I had cancer, it had spread a lot and I now have a 40% chance of a treatable but terminal recurrence in the next one to four years. I might have been able to have early detection cancer if I hadn't waited till the cancer was noticeable. A discharge may be a sign of infection, especially if you're breastfeeding, but it is also definitely a sign that you might have breast cancer. You can always figure out a way to deal with the money part later. You could be saving your life by getting a mammogram and bloodwork now.
