im waiting on test results to find out if i have a heart problem and untill now i always thought most of the funny stuff my heart does was sorta normal. for instance, when your like laying in bed or sitting quietly can you feel your heart beating in your chest, i mean with out your hands to feel it? does it ever feel like your heart is beating to slowly and to hard like after climbing stairs or getting up quickly? are some people just more aware of their hearts beating?

Stellate ganglion blocks have not worked and now I use a TENS unit almost daily.
How do you cope? What have you tried to help you out.
My case is not as severe as some and most people do not notice the physical appearence but, it can bring me down at times.

A couple of months ago I noticed a dry skin patch on the left of my lower lip. It's darker than my lip color. When my lips peel (from regular dryness) so does this patch. I've used Blistex lip products and Vaseline that somewhat help with the dryness, but this darkened patch stays there. One also began to appear on the right side, but faded away......any help?

I have a genetic condition that causes fleshy bumps all over my body (including my face). I only have them randomly on my body right now, but eventually they may or may not continue to cover my body. Do you think that if I practice meditation and visualization I can make this condition go away? Has anyone ever done this before? It's my only hope!

I have a feeling that I might have Genital Herpes, but I'm not sure. I have these little bumps around my vagina, and they hurt and go away. But they'll leave scars and come back. I'm really scared and crying. Please help me.

She lives in another state and her husband has been a little on the shadey side for about the last 2 yrs. He doesnt come home at nite, he treats her badly and she told us the other day he told her she had Alzheimers disease. He sent her home for a visit with Alzheimers dementi? We wonder if he is slipping her drugs. She seems a little sleepy and has terrible diarrhea, and is having some trouble talking. Other than that, she is sharp as ever. Can you get a hair sample checked for poisoning?

Listen I am not lazy, its just that I don't really like to work very much. I have just never found a job that doesn't put me to sleep. So since I am sleeping anyway why don't I just stay home, and enjoy some of the true pleasures in life; sleeping and eating! I think it would be pretty fun training for something like this. I could eat tons of steaks, bacon, eggs, drink glasses of butter(seriously it tastes good). My wife says she will leave me if I do it but my other gf is actually encouraging me. She says she will stay home and serve me so I won't burn calories. So my question is how much, and should I go for it? Thanks

It bled a little bit, but how do I know if i was infected without going to the doctors? and what should I do?

(if anyone wants to know how, it was because i was feeding a squirrel some bread and it came up to me, and instead of taking the bread, it bit me...that little cheater!)

I was in a bad car accident shortly after September 11th. I suffered from whiplash, and ever since then, my neck pops and cracks loudly when I move my ears towards my shoulders. It feels like my neck is locking up, and I have to pop it to release the pressure. I have seen chiropractors, and it helped, but my neck seems to always go back. They said is was due to torn ligaments that healed incorrectly, and now my spine is out of adjustment. This is a very frustrating problem, and I am tired of living with this uncofortable dull pain. Is there any type of surgery or maybe something else that could fix this problem? Thanks - a guy in pain.
