[niceguy2007]

I see increased spider veins around my ankles this month. never saw em like this b4. is it a sign of
cirrhosis? im 25.

do you know the meaning of ENABLING?  there is nothing right about enabling someones negative behavior. If someone chooses to ignore the dozens of suggestions in each of his 2-3 wkly threads, and seeks instead to engage in a guessing games with other layfolks, expecting a diagnosis from the rash of 'symptoms' he discovers every day, it is not helping him that we continuosly enable this guessing rather than insisting that he go for further testing.
In case you missed it, there have been at least 5-8 threads this month alone, asking us to diagnose his cirrhosis, because he is not going to do a biopsy due to what his dad told him.  That is a nutshell summary, in case you did not read it, or forgot it.
You can choose to judge our responses, or you can continue enabling him.
btw, thanks for pointing out that this is not a christian support group, I was beginning to doubt it.

joking is one thing, most do, it including me, but I think some need to use common sense as to when.

Child24 told him out right that he needs a biopsy, but it wasn't offensive.Some others answered the way you would hope also.

forseegood your point about not everyone has coping mechanisms is true,.. thats my point. How do we know whose who?

These posts directed to a long time poster would have been a different story, but its risky behavior when you don't know someone that long.

"Anything for a laugh" should not be the unspoken motto.

Long time lurkers and those pushed into lurking will never come out of their cacoon if people continue to see people being made fun of for asking questions "they don't approve."

End of subject for me.

i'm sorry to hear that some of you lost your loved ones like that.  i pray to God that a day comes when we can all live without fear and pain.

i think debi is right, those aren't spider veins.  cuz i just saw spider vein pics on the net.  

mine are not red, they are purple, and they don't have a papule in the middle. instead, they are spread around randomly.  they are just very thin purple veins under the skin.  but they are more than they were before.

DON'T WORRY.. ANYONE READING THESE POSTS TO NICE GUY,... IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A CHRISTIAN SUPPORT FORUM.

With all due respect myown, I keep staring at this quote and trying to sort it out. What's the message here? Forgive me for saying it sounds a little pharisaical from where I sit.

Well said Snook. Did it occur to you that she (I think Myown is a she) didn't offer any answers to niceguy but chose instead to lecture us and bring religion into it? You'd think a compassionate person, who obviously hasn't read the plethora of niceguy's posts, would have spent some time researching and maybe give him some advice - if she really wanted to help him. Instead she criticizes those who have tried time and time again to give niceguy advice only to have it fall on deaf ears. Curious morality from where I sit. Mike
