" Oh, I am so sorry about that. This disease or condition or whatever you want to call it just simply sucks! And I am so sick of doctors attitudes about it. Like they just don't see the big deal. Really hope you feel better soon. "

" Bumps suck I know. Some are painfll bu you have to be strong for both your child and yourself.

" I feel you….even if I know that there’s not much hope for a quick cure….or some magic lotion… …that will make them disappear…there are some doctors out there willing to help…I have heard of a Hubert Weinberg , MD in New York who uses something called …Electro-desiccation…to remove most of those tumors on the face and body…I going to contact him as soon as I save up some vacation time to go see him…..and have it done…and its covered by your insurance….I have had several removed …here where I live …..there is a doctor in Austin Texas…..a James R Cullington who removed a massive tumor I had on my head several years ago…..and it was all covered by my insurance…so although the magic lotion may be far fetch at least there are some doctors willing to help… "
