I am 32yo, and have this awful sensation in my left leg. I dont have health insurance, so it means a trip to the ER. Which I try to avoid at all costs!! (literally). I have numbness! It feels like about 70% numbness from the knee down to the toes, and from the knee up to my lower back and down to the right leg, about 20%. I have no idea what is causing it, which is the scary part. I dont think it is an emergency, that deems a trip to the ER, but could it be something serious? Any idea guys.....??? Thanks!!

For health reasons, I'm thinking about trying a water-only fast, perhaps anywhere from 10 to 30 days in length. I am a 63-year-old male, 5'9" 250 pounds, with high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes (pills, not insulin), high fasting blood sugar, and low HDL, and a history of a mild stroke in 2003. My health care professionals all advise me to NOT do a fast. Thirty years ago, when I was much younger and healthier, I did fast for 10 days and lost 25 pounds, and I felt great all during the fast ... at least until I ended the fast with a big greasy cheeseburger (big mistake). Anyway, it seems that there is quite a difference between mainstream medical advice and actual research studies. Practicing doctors advise against fasting, especially for diabetics, while numerous clinical studies seem to indicate that fasting has demonstrated lots of benefits. So ... does anybody here have any personal experience with long-term fasting?

My menstrual cycle was due 2 - 3 days ago. However, it has not started yet. The cramps that I am experiencing feel as if they are a mix between menstrual cramps and cramps from having to move my bowels. Everytime I move, when I'm trying to sleep, I get these cramps. These cramps seem to be different than the usual cramps that I get with my menstrual cycle. This has been going on for at least a few days.

For some months my fingernails have been deteriorating. Several of them have cracked from top to bottom and then have peeled away from the crack. Also they have become ridged from top to bottom. They are not brittle. This problem is gradually spreading to the rest of my fingernails.
I never wear nail varnish and use masses of a good quality nail and hand cream every day.
I suspect this may be due to a mineral or vitamin deficioncy of some sort.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
