Don't worry. Just remember that I will most likely get a heart attack soon. Wish you the best of luck

Nothing really. I all my life thought I was "normal", till last week when I was doing a check-up with my new doctor, and he told me to take off my shirt and he saw that my sternum(breast bone) was sunk in. So basically if you could look at yourself from a birdseyes view from your head to you legs your body should be like an "O" , but mine was a closed "U". My doctor couldnt belive that my past doctor didnt notice this before, and he said my case was "severe" and that last victim of this disfugure was in the 1980s and he only had 3 patients that ever had this disease :s.

So he said this summer I need to do the sugery.

I also took x-ray exams for it, and luckily my the breast bone wasnt so sunk in as to be clsoe to my heart and lungs.

Thast the thing Steve, is that no one in my family or relatives has this disease...

most things skip a generation, and when you great-great granddad was alive they probably didn't recognise it as a problem. im not saying your wrong about the family history. Its just a lot of diseases weren't recognised in the past, i think it said hereditary anyway, i only read through it once :S. anyway for it to be so rare its probably also recessive so both your parents needed the recessive gene for you to be affected

Most likely; and yes the article said its hereditarty.

Insha allah you will get better

Well Ahmed, I pray that everything will be allright after all, Insha Allah. If you ask me, just take your MP3 and listen to Sami Yusuf, especially the one we heard together on the train (I do not know what do you call it in Arabic. We call it a Hamd in Urdu!).

Thanks Cyan . Thanks Alot

I'm also impressed by your Arabic skills

And once again thanks.

What about my Arabic skills? You know I'm nice

Sayfullah wrote:What about my Arabic skills? You know I'm nice

Lol and of course you!

I was just complinting Cyan because he in neither Arab nor Muslim, therefore he doesnt need to have a great conncetion with Arabic.

The only thing I understand out of the Arabic I spoke was "Allah" or "God"....shifa...got no clue what it means but i heard the other guy say it so I figured why not

Lol, you basically said "May God heal you"

Shifa=Means healing.

Actually, shifa is more of well-being rather than healing

Dark Flame99966 wrote:Actually, shifa is more of well-being rather than healing

More or less, it actually means cure...

so cyan just said may god well-being you or is it one of those cases where it can be used certain times with different meanings

Grimmjow wrote:so cyan just said may god well-being you or is it one of those cases where it can be used certain times with different meanings

He said may God cure you...

ok wasnt sure there
