Doesn't seem like MRSA at all, I wonder why the doctors are suspecting mrsa. Granted, they actually WENT to med school... so they probably know far more than I do... but that's just my vote. Doesn't seem like TB either, as TB takes a while to develop.

Hm. Cyst underarm means her lymph nodes are swollen, which is indication of an infection...

Hmmm, well I don't know why they are thinking that either. I may not have all of the info myself because my Aunt only told me just a few details. I just wonder why 2 people in the same household would get so sick in such a short period? And to make them so sick that one is on life support at this stage.

It's definitely environmental... I'm assuming from their home or someone brought it home and the other became sick. Luckily, the kids didn't get sick, which is unbelievable as children are usually the first to get sick due to their weaker immune system.

I certainly do hope they get better soon... and my curious nature is going to want to know what they had. Keep us posted.

I will, I'm just on the phone now again with her,

Well didn't I just say that I shouldn't answer my phone? My Aunt had to hang up because of a call from the hosp. so I don't know what is going on. I then got a phone call from my best friend of 20 plus yrs. She has had really bad probs with kidney stones for yrs, they sent her for a CT scan, and then an ultrasound. Found a shadow between her pancreas and her stomach, and she's waiting for results. But she said for 5 days after her ultrasound she feels like she has got a severe sunburn on her lower back, but no rash or redness.

I guess I should post on the medical forum eh?

Sorry!. this is Alty's FUN pub ;) The drinks are on me tonight k? :D

Well, the pancreas is actually one of the hardest areas to visualize via ultrasound as it's filled with loops and gases that visually obstruct the view. So the shadow may in fact be nothing. As far as the burning, it could be a number of things, but with her kidney stone problem, as well as the area of the burning sensation, I have a feeling that she may have a kidney infection.

What's her status as far as seeing the doc?

Naw, Starby, I wish your family well. Really, so sorry this is all going on. Your drink is on me babe!

Should we give starby a call, so we break her spree of bad news?

:D No kidding, let me get a joke or 57 of them on Google up first so I can make Starby smile real big! :D

On our first holiday together, we went to Mauritius where we had booked a room in a lovely hotel. On our first night there, we had cocktails and then went for a romantic stroll along the beach. When we came back, we lay down on one of the chaise lounges next to the pool. It seemed deserted and we started getting really steamy. I kept looking around to check that there was absolutely no-one there - and there wasn't. So we slipped out of our clothes and slid into the pool to see if it was possible to have sex underwater. We were doing quite well with our experiment when suddenly, out of nowhere, a member of the hotel staff appeared and told us, very politely, that it was better to keep intimacy to our bedroom. The pool, he added, had an underwater window that made up one of the walls of the hotel's disco, and we had been the floor show for all the guests who were dancing -until they had seen us. I was so humiliated that I made my boyfriend check us out of the hotel first thing the next morning, and I spent the rest of the holiday dreading the flight back in case anyone recognised us.'

I just can't compete with that... LMAO LMAO LMAO!! Nice and thanks for the good laugh, I hope Starby reads this as soon as possible! LMAO!

When I was born God gave me two choices...

OR
(2)... Be good in bed!

She just saw her Doc Friday, and the results weren't in yet. He told her not to worry, but she's a mess just wondering! Yeah, she said that they couldn't tell what the shadow was by her pancreas. Apparently they checked for a kidney infection also, but that isn't the case. So I don't know what's going on!

I've got a pimple on my forehead... should I be worried? LMAO!

Sorry, I shouldn't make light of their probs, but I need to laugh! Someone tell me a good joke, lol

Welcome, one more? How is it all going? Any news or do you just have to wait it out? Dang, I am sending all of my thoughts your way, all of my positive thoughts are headed your way!

Pimple?? I have a mountain! LOL Poor Starby, the best way to get through hard time is with a smile, KEEP SMILING!
