Im in my 50's ..My life up until a year ago was a happy one..confident and easy going..I never worried about anything.We went through a major historic event Katrina..much like many other people do.It happens..I was ok,the family ok.and things in better shape than most..We were the lucky ones.We moved to a place where we are over a mile and one half higher...and much like the Anartica..I loved it .I always wanted to experience a place much like this.We were here and busy for over six months,and even traveled many miles across the country to check on our children..We came back and settled in spending more time at home than I have ever ,and sleeping during the day and staying awake at night.I slipped into a depression about being so rural..and sleeping days was weird..As time progressed I lost weight when not trying.. and then the physical symptoms slipped in.I had very odd sensations and feelings..Not altitude sickness just bizarre things.I was checked by several doctors..continued down.

I'm dealing with IBS (Irritable Bawl Syndrome) I have gone to 3 different Gastroenterologist and NO ONE has been able to give me something to make me feel better or control it. I can't live like this! Is so frustrating to not be able to have a good doctor who can heal me, that's why I'm asking you if you suffer from IBS and you are taking any medicine that is helping you please tell me so that I can try to get it. This has even change my mind about having babies because the pain is so strong that I want to heal first before I can even consider getting pregnant.

A friend and I were talking about cancer, she says when someone gets cancer and after treatment, is then medically declared cancer free, that person will get cancer again, no matter what. As she put it, it may be 5, 10, even 25 years they will get it again if they do not die due to something else first. I don't believe that and have never heard that before. I am hoping for a real answer to this question, thanks

If your girlfriend has her period and is wearing a tampon and she has the string inside (not hanging out) but is too far up for her to reach, would you help her take the tampon out?

I am a 22 year old woman, so don't think I'm a guy.

It all started weeks ago with a pain in my kidney area that felt like a kidney stone. It was not as the pain would fade when I sat down or exercised. One day, I stood and let the pain get terrible, then it was like a "shutdown" and it moved to this numbness in my leg. I don't feel the pain anymore, just the numbness. Is this kind of thing just a nuisance or could I be getting permanent nerve damage? I don't have great health insurance and I know some specialist will cost a fortune. Any experience with this or what it might be? It only seems to occur mostly when I stand in one place or sit. It is unnerving as I could probably stick a knife in my leg and not feel it when it gets totally numb. Thanks!

Sometimes when I bend over, or even just close my eyes while standing, I become extremely dizzy and stumble around. It's not quite extreme as vertigo, but I keep losing my balance and I have become quite tired. Somebody told my mother it might be an inner ear infection. Any ideas?

My dad was recently diagnosed with cancer, and I'm afraid that I think not only I am losing respect for him, he is losing respect for himself. I don't really know how to cope with it, I've never been in a situation like this before. I guess I don't have a question, but more or less support, or what I can do so I feel better for him, and he feels better for himself.

Just wondering. Whatever you can curl you should be able to bench press twice as easily, as far as I'm wondering.

Fixing Governor Schwarzenegger's broken femur seemed like a major medical procedure. Doctor's inserted a metal plate used cables and all kinds of stuff. What happened to the days of a simple plaster cast and when did all the metal implants begin that create the bionic man?

Skin feels very rough, slight color difference from surrounding skin kind of a pinkish tone, much like skin that has recently had a cut or scab over it and is healing. Yet I've had no cuts or scabs. I've tried to put lotion and petreloium jelly over the area, hoping it was just dry skin but so far no luck. I will be going to see a doctor either way now, but I just wanted some possible insite before hand. Never had a problem like this before so it alarms me.
