Could they have a food allergy? They are very clean & only take baby aspirin to thin their blood on a daily basis. They even rinse their clothing twice to get all the soap out. It only happens when they sweat. Hormonal? She is in menopause & asked me to post this for her. No, she does not have any urinary tract or incontinence problems. Just sweat that smells like urine! What could this be from?
She does not consume any type of alcoholic beverages. She drinks a LOT of bottled water (1/2 to 3/4 of a gallon per day). She takes a shower 2-3 times a day! Has extremely low pulse rate from a genetic heart defect & is on a low sodium & low fat regimine.

I am caring for someone who is an older person, and as much care as I give, there is always a lingering odor of urine in the private area. This person is not in adult diapers, but has minor incontinence. I have tried using regular soap & also shampoo. Is there a product that is known for eliminating this problem?
Even when you're an older person, I believe everyone wants that fresh feeling.

I'm 15 & have always struggled with my weight; now i'm at a healthy weight & content with my body, but i don't know what to use to lighten the stretch marks. I also don't want to stop from wearing shorts or dresses and want to know if there are any concealers that would cover the stretch marks while at school or maybe even the beach. Any help?

Umm... Well uh.. I don't know I mean I think it's incontinence but just to be sure... There's this yellow liquid(like pee) that comes out sometimes. And I don't even feel it, I can't tell when it does. It just does. I mean I can't tell when I need to go to the bathroom or anything. & I'm wondering could this be anything else or just incontinence cause at the same time my thighs are brownish(tanned) and peel sometimes. So I've began wondering if it was something else.

The thickest cream I have ever used is Bath & Body Works Shea Butter. Is this the best cream to use to prevent stretch marks? And, when during the pregnancy should I start using it?

I have a 3 yr old who was diagnosed with Overlap Disease. Its a mix of Lupus, Arthritis, Scleroderma, & Myositis (inflammatory disease). Although she has gotten a little better, she has been through so much. She still has a long way to go... I just want her to have a special memory to help replace the bad ones. Although she is in no immediate danger, it can easily become that way if it wasn't for all the meds. The MAW site says a parent, doctor, or child life specialist has to make the nomination. I feel a little ackward nominating her myself, but I really want this for her. I am not even sure if she qualifies.... It has to be life threatening. Her illness is chronic & CAN become life threatening. Myositis itself is reconized by MAW. But hers is not full blown case. I don't want to waste anyones time if she doesn't qualify....especially since they contact her doctors & all. Any advice would help...thank you.

What is wrong with my finger?! I'm freaking out here!?

This is happening to my finger again. It's on my left middle finger near the top and it's like a little patch of my skin that has little tiny bumps on it (idk if they have fluid in them), and my skin there isn;t dry, it's leathery, and it has cracked a little bit. I thought it could be a sign of scleroderma (that runs in my family) and I thought it could be a calice, a calcium deposit. I don't think you can see it very well on the picture, but please help!

I will go to the doctor, but I want to know what you think it could be before I go.
How would you handle a family member that is a bit of a Drama Queen?
December 17, 2010 by admin
Filed under Scleroderma
This family member is always telling everybody off when things do not go her way or whenever she feels like it. I feel she thinks she was somehow exempt from the Human flaw to ERR and she thinks she has NEVER done any wrong.
Oh and she is very, very hyper!
She has no children, she owns a nice house, she works 2 jobs, she can be kind of snobby and a bit irritating and she has no love life. Her emotions can change in a blink of an eye. (I THINK SHE IS BIPOLAR)
She has made comments that were not pleasing, but because she is my Aunt and she is ailing from Scleroderma, I overlooked the comments to avoid hurting
her feelings.
BUT Yesterday, I had enough and I let her have it! (In a very tactful manner) At first she was crying about some nonsense and when I didn't respond by not telling her what she wanted to hear, but telling her what she needed to hear,
she turned the waterworks off in a SEC.
HELP, do you think I should avoid her calls, emails, & visits?
I can see sending her cards by mail to check-in on her every now and then, but the DRAMA is insane. I am a very happy-go-lucky person. I love God, Life, great food, laughter, and close loved ones.... That Drama brings me down.
