I decided to withdraw my latest comment.

Obviously this guy got on this forum by mistake, and is suffering. I hope he is not dosing himself with those various meds.

Sir, if you sign on again, please see a doctor and next time, use a condom and save yourself all this distress.

Must be a full-service medical clinic that offers way more than mine does!

Tom , you need to explore the options:

Could be a Lady Doctor ? Of course it could be like Mistress Marcia , Doctor of Pain ...

Then again , Beth may have the inside track and is thinking "Ya know , there are some people in this world that should not have kids {{shudder}} "

Tom, absolutely the greatest one liner I've read in some time!

Nightwolf (love the name, always wonder how it was derived) and Beth, kudos to both of you. I can always count on learning something here! Not always the things I want to learn, or even ever needed to know about, but something nevertheless.

Its been almost a week since mraahiq first posted his conditions here.

I notice that he/she hasnt posted again.

So that leads me to 2 conclusions

1. they are away seeking medical treatment or

2. it was, as Al pointed out very early a prank of some sorts.
If it was a prank as i too suspect, then i hope you achieved your outcome.
If It is a prank though, what it has done for me and some others on the forum is given us a laugh and a giggle which we need from time to time, so i thank you.

So come back on and prove me wrong and if so i apologise in advance for making fun of your conditions and i apologise now for anybody who has Kennedy's disease. It sounds as bad as ALS.

cheers
Peter

I agree one post, and not been on since the post, yet has a dx. date of 2001 on profile. Well if are good member's here enlightened someone of Kennedy's disease, well then.. I know that Kennedy's is a male disease, so I believe he was a man. Kennedy's is not fatal.. Have seen people mis-dx. with als and vice versa.

Colleen check out this Wikipedia entry
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CSWI especially like the "coordinate seeking weapon". And those of us who can't talk well need a "Communication Support Worker". I think that BrianD got the answer which is also in the list.

I think BrianD had the right interpritation of CSW

"Commercial Sex Worker"

"down under" i havent heard them called that, other names for them but not that.

Not having been there myself i am only guessing though

cheers
