I've suffered with a chronic cough for 30 years. Was told 30 years ago I have Vasomotor Rhinitis. Nothing seems to work or help.

Recently an allergy doctor told me he thought I had psychogenic habit cough. My further research indicates that I may have laryngeal sensory neuropathy.

Has anyone had experience with either.

Personally I think it is laryngeal sensory neuropathy. While I try to stop coughing and have been somewhat successful, I do have symptons of dry tickle, tickle in my throat, throat spasms for known and unknown reasons (irritants, etc.) I cannot tolerate tobacco smoke indoors or out of doors and have a stuffy nose a lot of times with a post nasal drip. Colognes also affect me, as do other irritants. All medications I have tried thus far, do not work. Anyone have info. or advice. Thanks much.

well i have been told i have characteristics of pcos that means cyst on your ovaries right well than why did that not show up does that mean i don't have cyst on my ovaries also my adrenogen level is slightly high and that is cause by cyst on your ovaries so what is the deal. i know there is something wrong cause i've been on my period for 7 months and i have never been able to get pregnant due to lack of ovulation. what could this be could they have just not seen any cyst but maybe they are there or can i have a hormonal imbalance and that is it.

I'm a 20-year-old female in good health, not overweight and I do not smoke or drink.

For several months I have been experiencing symptoms that correlate very closely to IBS. Fullness or bloating, diarrhea, stomach cramps, ect. I recently changed to a fiber rich, low-fat diet, and my symptoms have lessened greatly. But now I am faced with a new set of alarming problems.

As of late, my stool has been soft, but solid, I've had a little discomfort, I've occasionally had white/creamish color mucus on the outside of the stool and small white specks in one or two of the bowel movements. Today and yesterday, I noticed normally colored, not very bright, red blood on the outside of the stool as well as a sack-like pouch of blood attached to one of the bowel movements. I believe it has happened in the past as well. There wasn't much blood, I had to look closely to see anything but the sack-like thing.

Should I go see a doctor right away or wait and see how my symptoms turn out?

I moved from London England to the US a long time ago now, almost three years ago, I moved so I could be with my american boyfriend, we got married and shortly after I became pregnant with my daughter, I didnt file for my immigration papers immediately, as we just couldnt afford it, after being here for now almost three years I am very close to getting my work permit and social security number so I can learn how to drive and get around on my own, my problem is that I have basically been housebound for three years and I have no friends here and I am sooooo bored outta my skull I often find it hard to breath, I need ideas for things that I can do (in the house) to keep me from going insane, I live in AZ and its too hot at the moment to even contemplate going outside, I am depressed and don't know how to be happy anymore, dont say go to the doctor or anything like that I can't afford it firstly and secondly all the FREE programs aren't available to me because of my immigrant status help!

Thats about it. All my 17+ doctors are sending me to Duke Medical Research hospital this fall. I'm only 17 years old and fixing to be a senior in high school this fall. It gets frustrating going to my doctors and all they can do is shrug their sholders at me. I have been atmitted to the hospital and have been rushed multipal times to the ER. You all must know what is like to not feel people understand you. Please give thought upon this matter. It would be most apprecialted!!!

Well, here is my problem, my skin is terrible, I have clogged pores everwhere, plus little red bumps all over my skin. My face gets irritated quite easily, just by opening my mouth to eat something my skin gets red, wtf. I have scarred pores on my nose, and have long hairs, yes hairs, growing all over my face. I have tried Avita ( retin-a), and I am currently using beta-hydroxy lotion, which hasn't done much to improve my appearence. I have been on many acne medications, but I am starting to think it isnt acne, because nothing works. The worse part is I am only 18, and cant go out with confidence because of this problem. My skin just looks tired and unyouthful. Could I have some sort of skin disease, or do you guys have some remedy that will cure me?
Don't tell me to wash my face because I do, but it doesnt seem to do much.

Dietary guidelines say to eat more whole grains than fruit (for a 2000 calorie diet-2 fruits and 6 whole grains/breads) but I was wondering what you guys think. I guess Im just so confused with all the people obsessed with avoid breads and all but I eat the healthy non-processed stuff so are whole grains a better choice because they dont contain fructose and theyre less likely to be stored as fat?
