my son is 17 years old, we have seen 4 doctors now, he has been diagnosed with gastroparesis. his symptoms are CONSTANT neausa, vomiting after ANY solid foods, he can no longer eat solids, and severe to at times excruciating pain in his stomach. we have tried all sorts of medicines, with no relief. they are talking feeding tubes now, and he is being sent to a childrens hospital for further testing. trust me when I say he has has every test know to man, and even some that I have not even heard of, just wanted to hear from others with this terriable disease that is distroying my sons life. he is so miserable and I feel so powerless.
thanks for any info or experiences.

He has been told he should have surgery. I have never heard of an aneurysm on the heart valve--do you think he has his facts right?

Sweat irritates my skin alot. Is there anyway for me to still do exercises without having to sweat so much?

I wear deodorant, so don't tell me that is the problem. It's just annoying when I'm somewhere and I see that I have these huge sweat stains underneath my arms. It happens when I'm at school, at work, at friends' houses.
People tell me that it is just hormones, I mean, I'm only 17, but it's a serious pain. I was on a date a few weeks ago and I couldn't even hug the girl properly because my whole upper body was soaking wet.
I don't get why this happens-- I mean, I'm in shape, I'm not fat, it's not usually that hot-- this stuff even happens indoors.
Is there something I can do to stop this underarm sweating? I've resorted to wearing two layers of shirts everyday, and with the summer it gets to be a pain.
Should I look out for a certain type of deodorant, or something? Is there something that you can suggest.

I'm a junior in college this fall, majoring in elementary education. However, I need a part-time job. Since i dont have a degree yet i cant get a teaching job. I dont want to work at a retail store either. So i was thinking about applying at a hospital. What kind of job can i get being a junior in college at a hospital? I have a good background and plenty of former employers that would give good comments about me to prospective employers. So is there any job i can get at a hospital?

He has been in a convelesant home since this.I am so frustrated with the re-hab he gets,doesn't get.He relies on medi-care and medi-cal for his re-hab.sometimes they stop and then i have to ask for thier help again,not really knowing the guidelines.He has aphisa,so he can't speak for himself.He is unable to walk or do anything for him self.I think the place he is staying is full of kind and caring people,but I can never get a straight answer,any suggestions will be really greatfully appieciated.Also,if anyone knows of any stroke support groups,I'd love to find one in my area.Venice/Santa Monica,California.Thanks in advance.......

I'm not a crackhead or anything like that, but I have done my share of illegal drugs. The most addictive drug I have ever experienced was cocaine (snorting it).

What makes this drug so addictive?

BTW: I've never smoked crack or did heroin so I have have no idea how those drugs are. I tend to stay away from these.

I'll be seeing a counselor or psychiatrist for the first time next week. (whatever my regular doc refers me to). I was just wondering how it all goes down. What they ask, how they act, etc.

I've lived with my roomate for seven years, since college. I know that she was severly bulimic in highschool and was hospitalized. There were periods in college when I had my own issues with food (freshmen 15 etc) and she would confide in me then when I was having issues too, I went through a semester of binging and purging myself. For the last 4 years I've been healthy and positive. I know that sometimes my roomate makes herself sick still. She got a new boyfriend 3 months ago and all the sudden she dropped 15 pounds. I really want to help her but she only admits her problem when she's drunk and denies it any other time. Also, since I went through the same issue in school, I feel like she doesn't respect me. I;ve been so worried because everyone is telling her how great she looks and thin and I think that it's only driving her disease. I feel like I can't tell anyone and when I approach in a sober setting she acts like I'm crazy. How do I help her?
