Do you have, or do you know someone who has a pacemaker to keep there heart beating properly?
If you do, Is there any side effects to having one. Any problems that you can think of.
I am going to have to have one fitted in the next few weeks, and I just want to know if there is anything that I should ask the specialist before I get it done.

I had a kidney stone treated 3 years ago, by Lithotripsy?Lithotropsy?. I have just started to get pain again and been told it could be an infection OR a new stone.
Has any one had subsequent stones and how long did they take to develop?
I was hoping it would be longer than 3 years!!
And for all those who haven't had one they hurt like hell, almost as bad a labour pains, I should know I have 3 kids!!

My doctor told me to go on a diet to reduce my weight, but every time I feel weaker and weaker and I think I'm having just a reduced meal and eating many times a day, but I feel poor, whenever I star to feel hungry I feel dizzy and my brain starts to panic and I must grab for food immediately, anything, biscuits or some drink to sit down in my stomach so that my dizziness will go away. funny feelings.

So around 3 AM I woke up with a sensation of water in my ear. I laid there for probably a half an hour, poking my finger in my ear every once in a while and it wouldn't go away. I finally got up and twisted a piece of toilet paper and stuck it in my ear as far as it would go and it came out clean. I tilted my head to the side and suddenly felt something slide out and heard a little plop in my sink. It was an EARWIG!!! So I am completely freaked out and cant sleep because I can't find anything online about whether I should go to the doctor or something. What should I do!?!?!?!

I used to have very weird deja vu type of hallucinations when I was in 8th and 9th grade. I am trying to figure out what they were and why they happend. I think SPS is the best explaination but can SPS occure with childhood absence epilepsy? I believe I had them the most during 7th, 8th, and 9th grade but they stopped and I hope they stop b/c they were rather obtrusive, annoying, and scary.

To indulge in when it is that time of the month?

I can't stop eating fat free strawberry yogurt, my cousin and I both love it. What about you?

also, will eating too much of this yogurt make you fat even though it says 0 calories from fat?

I'm going to have B.R. Surgery but am wondering if I should sneak away for a week or so during the summer (without my boys 8 &10) and hope that I'm okay for the rest of the summer. It probably would only be 2-3 weeks post surgery before seeing my husband again (who's deployed). Or should I wait until after summer, have my boys there during the recovery period and have my husband not see until next year. On one hand, it may interfere with the rest of our summer plans. On the other hand, my boys would have to witness my recovery. What does everyone think?

Well i had an irregular what i think was a period that lasted a bit longer then usual and was more blood.Then what happened was when i finished the period i had some itching and when passing urine it was a burning sensation.This was only sometimes not always.I was rushed to hospital after shivering and felt my heart was going at 120 normal is 80 i felt really cold and then after a while really hot.I took a urine test and urinary tract infection was ruled out however white blood cells where found.They later put me on antibiotics ( just a general one) and some of the symptoms have gone however my heart still feels like its going real fast. I had a blood test which is going to show what is wrong with me
However Doctors being complete jerks do not know what there doing. What could be wrong with me? i have never had sex and im very clean to and plus i dont drink or smoke.
Is it very serious? Will i die?

I can't remember the first word but it looks and feels like small round rough patches on the surface of my skin, worse on my legs, ankles and top of my feet. I also have problems with skin tags on the underside of my upper arms, inside thighs and a few on my back. I am only a few lbs overweight so it's not due to that. My dermatologist told me what it was a couple of years ago and I cannot remember, he's not in practice now. If someone else has this or if you're a derm, I'd love to hear from you.
