I've been told propolis is good for stomach ache. But after I took it my stomach ache has got worse. Some people say it may get worse before it gets better. Is that true? Does anyone have that experience?

My grandmother was diagnosed with lung cancer, it has grown from the size of a grape to the size of a golf ball in a month. She won't do any chemo/radiation or surgery, because she wants the time she has left to be good, and the docs said she has a year left. BUT ... first, if it's grown that fast, how can she have a year? And every instance of lung cancer I've ever heard of has had the patients die much sooner ... like Peter Jennings was given six months and lived like two weeks, and another I read about was given a year and died less than three months later. How long does she have, realistically?

I had a cataract when I was young. After the surgery I was legally blind with 20/400 vision. After the surgery we tried patching, and it did not help. A couple of years ago, my vision in my bad eye improved to 20/200. My eye doctor said that my vision was most likely at it's peak. Well, this year it's 20/100. I was wondering if patching at this age (16) would help improve they eye further to where corrective lens would help it.

My mom has a lump in her left breast but her lymph nodes are swollen and painful in her right breast. When i look up this on the internet it only says the lymph node is supposed to be swollen in the sae breast as the lump/cancer. She is supposed to have a biopsy in 2 weeks. She has a lump the size of a golf ball but the lump is not painful at all. Is this normal?
Does the cancer actulley hurt or not? What else can the lup be? I need help and support!

Was wondering if anyone had any experience or could give me advice on this. I am a human with many problems ( I know we all are) But I find that an hour of counceling once a week isnt enough for me to get out everything. Should I go to two councleors consecutivly? My current councelor does not have time for another slot for me. I would ideally like to go a couple times a week to catch up and sort through all my issues. Is this a good idea or should I just be patient?
Any comments, questions or testimony would be very much appreciated?!?!? Thanks

Ive tried at least 5 different brands with different ingredients, with all of them having the SPF in common. I hate getting sunburned, but I love kayaking. I know I could dress up like an albino and use white clothes to protect me, but looking for alternative to sunblock that can be applied to my skin.

I have a rash on my inner thigh and I have little white pimples with hairs growing out of them all over my inner thigh on both legs. My inner thigh is extremely sensitive to the touch since this rash appeared. I searched WebMD and it says if you have herpes you get a red rash with puss filled blisters, I want to know if I should be worried. The rash has been there for about 1 week.

PS. My girlfriend just had a yeast infection, Don't know if its related.
Also during her yeast infection we had sex and her vagina was dry and it caused my penis to pull and there is a small laceration right under the ridge of my penis, but I have never seen or noticed blisters on my penis, I went to a very good dermitologist, who looked at the penis injury and told me I have nothing to worry about, But with all these things I read on the internet how can I help it. Before I schedule another appointment with the doctor someone please tell me if Hair can grow out of a Herpes Blister

My pinky finger & ring finger on my left hand are numb. They feel like they are asleep. It's been like that for almost a month. I have no pain. If I touch my funny bone it makes my fingers tingle even more. I have a doctor appointment, just thought I would see if anyone knows what this is?

I've been dating this guy for around 6 months now. I really love spending time with him, and I have fallen in love with him. I have a hard time seeing how he feels about me just because he's not as out in the open with his feelings. We once in a while will notice, and point out flaws in one another like most couples do. He's been getting closer to me in the past month, and has been making more of an effort to spend time with me. At the same time though, I have this crazy fear whenever he points out one of my flaws, he's not going to want to see me anymore (like he's not going to like me anymore). I also have the same thoughts whenever the idea of us getting more physical begins to arise. Are these fears irrational or common. I don't know why I'm constantly thinking he's going to say that he doesn't want to see me anymore.
