#2 I have a feeling it's infected hair.

She probably has a fungal infection.

She should cut out all carb for a while, and take some "friendly stomach bacteria".

Wash with Nizoral would help too

#3 Well, it's either the first signs of the Chtorr, or they're freaking nuts.

How wonderful it is to live in a society so free of real disease that people have taken to making up their own.

#4 No it might be this.

She's depressed and thus vulnerable to paranoia. Depression ALSO messes up the immune system.

Immune suppressed people get all sorts of weird infections.

#5 ...This sounds like an episode of 'House' just waiting to happen. All kidding aside, I have read about cases like this, but they were always far less severe. Every last one of them, however, turned out to be soem kind of infected or ingrown hair.

#6 I had an ingrown hair in my nose. Eventually it grew out the side, and when it grew real long, I used it to sew my nose closed.
Now when I talk, I sound like Larry King.

#7 From wikipedia,

George Schwartz of Santa Fe, New Mexico initially believed the cause may be the bacterium Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, and has claimed success in treating patients with antibiotics that target this waterborne bacterium.[17] He now believes it is a parasitic infection. In his booklet "Lisa's Disease, A Fiber Disease", he describes four stages to this condition. Stage four places body organs in jeopardy. Schwartz also treated patients with anti-worm medication and diatomaceous earth.[21]. He says it is "a modern day plague which silently grows within the host and after weeks may explode into cavernous, thread- bearing skin lesions, and can extrude eggs and larvae" and is "a highly contagious, world-wide epidemic which will soon reach a critical mass". He has developed a treatment plan for the early stages[22]. In August, 2006 he published a new book describing this disease and treatment plans.[23] Currently he is barred from practicing medicine, due to a narcotics violation[4].

These kinds of 'stealth' difficult to treat bacterial infections are far more prevalent than the medical system recognizes. I'd urge anyone who has physical symptoms labelled autoimmune or psychosomatic to look into the possibility it's treatable by antibiotics.

#8 How many times have doctors told people that some physical problem was "all in their head", only to get proven wrong years later? I'd get another doctor.

#9 I knew a poor old guy who had a *month* of bad diarrhea with four doctors mis-diagnosing him. The fifth asked him just one question: visited Mexico recently?

"Yes".

Then he did one test, positive for amoebic dysentery. Gave him a few pills and that was the end of it.

The others had said "probably cancer", "old age", "bad diet", and "bad diet".
