Chronic Granulomatous Disease?

rare disease
JEM

27/ F Last year I had a skin infection under my breasts. ( they looked sort of like boils)I went to the doctor and he perscribed numerous different topical and oral antiobiotics which didn’t clear it up. He then sent me to a dermatologist who did a culture. It came back as Proteus Mirabilis bacteria which they said was rare. I went to an ifectious disease doctor who did bloodwork and diagnosed me w/Chronic Granulomatous Disease. He hospitalized me and put me on I/V antibiotics. It cleared up. One week later it came back. I went back in the hospital for a week and came home with a pic line to cont. for 6 weeks with i/v antiobiotics. Finally it cleared up for a month. I asked him to test me again for CGD disease and this time it came back negative. A year and a half later the infection is back again. I have had a low grade fever for the past year and a half, have “hot flashes, low energy and a general feeling of being sick. No one seems to know what is going on. How can I improve?

Last week we learned about lou gehrigs disease. The teacher didn’t really say anything in detail about it. Then i came online and did some research. I read what it’s about and now i’m scared to death. At first my left arm started feeling weak and my hands stiffened up. Now my right thigh is twitching alot. I’m so scared. I’m only 15 and i don’t want to die right now. Is this disease rare and what are the odds that i have it at the age of 15.

dramaqueen101

My cousin is 4 years olld and just got diagnosed with an extreemly rare disease called fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva otherwise known as FOP. I was wondering if anyone had ever heard of this disease or if any one knew anyone with this disease.

FOP is a disease that turns damaged tissue into bone so if a normal person got a bump it would go away but if he gets hurt it turns into bone which can limit his use of his mucles.he already has limited use of his arms and will eventually have to have a wheel chair and possibly not be able to feed himself or move his jaw.

so if anybody has any usefull information or has any ideas on how to help him. please anwer this question

Why does Dr.House get all the neato, rare complications?

Every single case seems to be the rarest thing ever..don’t they ever get routine coughs, headaches, maybe even the flu?
I think House is hogging all the good diseases!
Yes, but far more relatable!
Dr. House must feel pretty cocky going around saying stuff like
“Ya know, I save people everyday from rare disorders!”
What about the people with chicken pox? Are they just expected to itch for a week and get treated by less than stelar doctors?

if an insect or some species of animal was causing a dangerous disease but was part of a very very important ecosystem and so it would cause great disaster to kill all of it.
