Ok so ive been having this irritating pain and numbness in my legs, feet and hands. I wake up and it feels like my hands and feet are swollen but they arent. They itch like they are swelled up. My feet are the worst because they hurt when i touch them against anything. Kind of a sharp pain like you have when your running a fever and touch something cold. Ive had chest pain which my doctor has determined unofficially to be caused by stress. Both of my grandmothers had diabetes and so does my mom do you think this could be what this is. Im not losing any drastic weight or anything but i do have frequent infections and a very long healing time for any cuts I get. I use to get tested for this once a year but since everytime it came back negative i stopped getting tested 4 yrs ago. I read that insulin dependent diabetes comes at around age 30 and im going to be 27 this year. Its just bugging me to death. Any help or suggestions would be great and thanks in advance for any responses.

Why do people use laxatives in order to lose weight? It just doesnt make any sense to me...it is coming out of your rear in fecal form therefor you have digested it and the damage is done right?

Every now and then, I come accross a situation that I seem to remember happening once before even though it clearly never did. When this happens, usually, I feel a very strange feeling in my stomach/chest. The feeling is not a pain, nor is it a comfort, it is just a strange feeling. I also tend to feel slightly hotter and many have said my eyes get slightly bloodshot. This all ends within 2-3 minutes. Just wondering if anyone has ever felt this and if it's normal. Thanks.

I have a really horrible fear of the inside of my elbow, you know that little spot, usually where blood is drawn. I don't have any fear of needles or blood, I can get my blood drawn from my hand no problem, so that's not the issue. I can't have my arms opened all the way because I can't have that area "unprotected". I can't touch it. If anyone around me even has their own arms open and their inside elbow is exposed I get super uncomfortable and usually ask them to close their arm. If I see someone touching the inside of their arm for more than like 1 second, I start to uncontrollably cry and I have no idea why I'm crying except for the fact that I'm so freaked out that I just saw someone touch their area. This phobia is just so irrational and I have no idea why I have it. Any ideas on how I gained a phobia like this, and any ideas on how to cure it?

A year ago i was diagnoised with degentatie disk disease in my L-5 disk and osteoarthtitis, and my doctor suggested to do physical theorpy, multipe medications, excercises. But so far nothing has worked so far. I am in horrible, severve pain. I can't run/jump or do alot of excercise, and even washing and blow drying my hair is really hard for me. I also can't sleep, and am extremly tired every day, and have difficulty sitting in class because my body hurts so much. But the pain isn't only in my back, its everywhere, and none of my family is really trying to get me a doctor right now because my father is having a prostate surgery in febuary. I don't know who to talk to because my family really doesn't notice my in pain. Its even difficult to stand for a short period of time. What should i do? Im starting to get really depressed, and even wishing i would die( alothough i would NEVER commit suicide) But any suggestions? Please serious answers only.
I'm a freshman in highschool, and 14.
