The obligatory solicitation for medical advice from anonymous companions
I've got a relative who's been sick for a few weeks. She's had nearly constant diarrhea (lost 20-25 pounds in the last 4-5 weeks). She's off work now unpaid after using up her sick leave and vacation time.
There's been no success diagnosing her illness so far. She's getting a colonoscopy next week. As is ever the case, I'm curious if her life-long smoking habit has anything to do with it. (I quit 12 years ago, after smoking lots for more than 15 years, so I'm not saying that as a judgement, just a fact.)
Does this sound familiar to anybody?
