One of my cousins came back from Iraq and things were going fine for about a month. He had a soon to be wife, a son along the way, and was making good money selling his art. Then he started drinking very heavily, and is now in a rehab center. Can anyone please tell me how I can help him.

It seems like I've had this problem for 8 years, but I can't remember exactly. My boyfriend says I should go to the doctor, but I don't think this is serious enough. I think it may be normal, even though he doesn't have this problem and insists there's something wrong with me.

My problem is that if I go without eating for two meals, I'll feel really bad. I don't skip meals often. I'll get a headache and nausea, and then I can't eat. It's really hard to eat after I've started with the symptoms. My stomach burns really bad and anything I eat, it's really hard not to vomit it back up. It gets pretty bad. Does anyone else out there have this problem? Should I bother going to the doctor?

unexplained bruising? About 2 months ago, I noticed bruises all over my legs. I just assumed it was from swimming with the kids, you know how they kick you without meaning to. Well, for 2 weeks I was on vacation and I kept getting bruises. Most of them don't hurt, and most of them are in places that I'm not likely to hit by walking into a coffee table. Well, 2 weeks ago, I started getting bruises on my arms. I mean it when I say it looks like somebody has been beating me! My doctor took a blood sample and everything came back normal. She said she could test for indivual problems but each test would require a separate blood draw. Has anyone else experienced this and if so, do you know the cause for it? I'm tired of wearing long pants all the time and it's too hot to wear long sleeves!

I talked about sharp shooting pains in my last few questions...one being right by my right ear. Got a cat scan of my head, looks fine. Now my cheek is puffy in a large area and kinda feels funny when i talked or move it at all. It feels like theres something in there when i push on it. Can this only be a dental thing? Or can this happen from some other infection? Im in pain still and i think i need antibiotics. Also, It seems to become more noticable after i smoke a cigarette...could that be affecting my muscle or nerve from the sucking? I thought before i had migraines then an ear infection and now a dental problem...I just need some opinions...is this all related? I dont have insurance, how much would it be if i went to the dental office for an emergency exam? Would they see me? I know its a lot of questions...but ive been suffering from all this for quite some time and im sick of it.

Ok, question for maybe a dermatologists, or someone serious. AnywaysEver since I went to tech school, I have gotten these little bumps in my crease in the inner thigh, maybe a little bit more on the anus, but very close to my genitals. Anyways, I only get like 2 at a time, but this time, i irritated it and it is huge. Like I cannot sit down without ffeling it, it is raised up a lot, and i can move it around, it is red and circular but very raised up. I am pregnant also, haave only had 1 sex partner-my husband, so I do not know what it is. But this is the first time it has been this swollen. Thanks for any help. Oh yea, and all the little immature people that are going to respond with some stupid answer or comment"GROW UP".
