great we lost fletcher, he's got Crohn's disease. No wonder he's been off sorts for a while.
were really going to need a CM now.
clash;3152826 said:Horrible news about Fletcher. It's possible that he will never play again, depending on how bad the disease is.
In the worst cases of Crohn's, a large part of the colon will be surgically removed, resulting a bag placed in your body so you could digest (you take your **** into the bag, basically).
Sir Sir_Didier_Drogba;3075377 said:However, giving too much information is a problem Lee Craig Stewart often faces. For example, in the about me section of his website where he is touting for business, he somehow feels the need to outline his medical conditions....
"I was a craniopharyngioma brain tumour survivor in 1995, I have been diagnosed with Diabetes Insipidus & Panhypopituitarism"
Particularly embarrasing when you look into what these conditions actually are...
"Panhypopituitarism, a rare disorder usually associated with a suprasellar cyst or craniopharyngioma, is characterized by dwarfism with normal body proportions, subnormal sexual development, and insufficient thyroid and adrenal function. Diabetes insipidus is frequently present, bitemporal hemianopia or complete blindness may occur, and skin is often yellow and wrinkled, but mentality is usually unimpaired..... Characteristic signs of the disorder are failure to lactate, amenorrhea (in females), weakness, cold intolerance, infantile genitalia (in males), lethargy, and loss of libido and of axillary and pubic hair."
"Diabetes Insipidus leads to frequent urination, and this is the most common and clear symptom. Frequent urination, unusual thirst, and dehydration are all symptoms of DI. "
I almost feel sorry for the guy....

Sir Sir_Didier_Drogba;3153110 said:Wow a chronically inflammatory bowel condition must be about the most embarrassing illness there is...
Well, the second most embarrassing...
Yes there is. Having dwarf size genitals is embarrassing, no matter what the doctor tells you. Just like being extremely fat is embarrassing whether or not it's your own fault. And having cornrows is embarrassing even if someone snuck in and did them in the middle of the night when you were asleep.drake122;3153217 said:You should not talk about things you know nothing about. It is great that you can google the definition of panhypopituitarism and diabetes insipidus, but that won't make you understand them any better.
There is nothing embarassing about any of these or Darren Fletcher's disease either and both can be properly treated with minimal impact on a person's life.

drake122;3153719 said:So yeah, it's probably you who should be embarassed for making fun of footballers' medical conditions. Health is more important than that. You never know, someday you might even find yourself in a similar situation...
drake122;3153719 said:That is exactly what I'm talking about... you speak of things you know nothing about. You assume that everyone diagnosed with hypopituitarism automatically has "dwarf size genitals", is extremely fat and has everything else written down in a description you found on the internet? It's a lot more complicated than that. And while their quality of life may be reduced at some point, it is certainly not something to be embarassed about.
