I am struggling to come up with another answer. We see a specialist on Monday, but in the meantime I am beside myself. My 19 month old baby girl has a VERY inflamed knee and is having trouble walking, she also has an unexplainable butterfly pattern rash on her face. All symptoms point to Lupus or Juvenile Arthritis, but PLEASE help ease my mind by coming up with something else it could be.

alright so my face has been breaking out for the past like 3 or 4 months. my mom always yells at me becaue i'm affectionate with my cat like i hug her and she sleeps with me and she cuddles with me. shes in my blankets while i sleep and she sometimes sleeps on my pillow next to me. she says that my cat is causing my face to breakout a lot. and i always told her nooo thats not true but lately i'm thinking that its true. i mean her fur is all over my blankets and pillows, and she always jumps on my lap while im on the computer so i pet her and touch my face and things. but my acne is getting really bad. its embarassing. is it my cat or something else?

I'm a High School Junior and here lately, I've been forgeting things. Like in class, I can't seem to do certain math problems and all. My parents may request for Special Education Evaluation. I want to know if Crossword Puzzles or Word Finds increase the Brains Mind or whatever. If so, what are some good Crossword Puzzles out there. I've never tried them before. Only Word Finds.

Thanks

I have a lower molar with a big cavity which requires root canal treatment and crown. Although the cavity is big, but there is no pain all along. I need the root canal and crown done to save the tooth. The endodontist wants me to undergo a treatment and filling (I guess it's cleaning of the tooth and then cover with a temporary filling) a few months before root canal treatment to see if the tooth will hurt after the temporary filling. It is like putting a test on the tooth. Of course, I need to pay additional amount for this procedure. My questions are :-
1) Is it possible that a tooth will hurt after the filling when there was no pain before the root canal treatment.???? And why??? 2) Is it true that when a big cavity is covered with filling, the tooth may hurt?? I'm very worried if the tooth will hurt after the root canal and crown.
Will appreciate if anyone who has the experience or who are knowledgeable on this, please kindly give me your valuable advice. Thank you in advance.

With that in mind and with the realization that not all addictions are harmful, what would you say you are addicted to?

I asked my gyno about a hemorrhoid tag that i've had for a year, and she told me that it won't go away on its own and they only way to get rid of it is surgery. Is this true? It's not painful, but I do feel self-conscious about it.

I've been taking the pill everyday since march 10. And I haven't a period since march 1st. I am concerned about this. I've had three or four HPT this month and each came back negative. Has anyone has a problem with this type of birthcontrol? Can birthconrol mess up your cycle?

I started having anger issues at age 12. They didnt get really bad until about last year. I scream at the top of my lungs until my voice gives out. I get so angry that I can't see. I cry for hours just to make myslef feel better. Now I'm 15 and it just keeps getting worse and worse. But the part I don't understand is that my outbursts come out of nowhere! Even the littelest things will turn me from happy and calm to crazy and Hostile. I've been in several fights and every time I do get into a fight I end up hurting the person really bad. I need help. I can't control my anger and I'm afraid Im going to hurt someone worse than I already have. Do you know what Could possibly be wrong with me?

out of place. When I fell with the bike, my right knee was trapped under the right side of the bike. As we hit the ground, I felt my knee pop out of place to the outer-right side. After 2 years of relaxing my leg, the knee occasionally pops and hurts. I have noticed that the bones on the bottom portion of my knee joint have grown outward as if they had been fractured and swollen. Does anyone happen to know what the name of this sort of knee problem might be named? I would like to get more information on the condition before I see a doctor for self treatment purposes.
