My partner and I have been to see the neurologist and the doctor did various physical tests.

The neurologist beleives my partner may have multiple scleosis.

We have to wait for an MRI appointment, for about 2 months.

The neurlogist said that he needed to get a chest X-RAY and blood tests as well today. What is he looking for there?

Any advice and suport greatly appreciated.

Hi! I'm trying to lose weight. Normally I'm awake by 7:00 AM and doing my cardio by 8:00 AM. Today I slept in until noon and I was wondering if I should eat more food to make up for my missed breakfast and if I should I still eat 1200-1500 calories?

I have a fully healed scar on my arm. It doesn't hurt or ooze or anything like that, but it looks terrible. It's a huge white blotch. Can I tan this away? Or should I avoid the sun?

Please help, and thanks!

so they say things to confuse you, to make you think...plus if the people that do it, somehow now about your mental health problems and the fact that youve struggled hardship all your life, so they feel your an easy victim, easy to patronise..

and they continue to play mind games so that youll lose it and ruin your life...plus its hard to fight against it, because youve suffered alot and have rage problems to...

i no this is an unusual situation, but id rather you not question it, but simply tell me what would you do to fight against that situation?

Each morning I wake up, my right hand/arm is numb. It usually takes about 15 minutes for the numbness to go away. It is beginning to freak me out!!!!!

Okay I have a boston terrier that is about 16 and he has a really bad skin condition that he has been seeing the vet for and has been on several different medicines and he also has hernias but they say that he cant have surgery because he will not live through it well today I noticed that he has another hernia or tumor not sure and it is swollen and red and he also has a fever, my question is would it be unfair to put him down? .............He is in really high spirits and he acts like it does not bother him and the vet says that there is no reason to put him to sleep.

I am a 38 year old mom of three - ages 11, 7, and 2. My husband is also a trucker who's gone alot leaving me to deal with ALL that goes on around here by myself! Some days are better than others - but by the end of the day my neck and shoulders hurt so bad I can barely stand it! I can feel the knots and sometimes getting rubbed (when he's home) helps but it's never very often that I get rubbed. My MD prescribed at my request Valium 5mg 2X's daily - but I'm finding myself taking more than that now! I have been taking 3-4 pills sometimes all at once (up to 20mg total) and can barely feel the relief anymore like I did the first month I started on them? I'm not addicted cause I don't need them every day - just need something REAL strong to help out when I DO need something. NO HEALTH INSURANCE doesn't help so I need affordable meds like the valium - they're cheap. I have a real high tolerance for pain meds - I know my body & I'm NOT a druggie - any suggestions for new meds?

Ok im old fashioned never used a tampon but considering it... how does it work exactly I know how to insert it, but my question is after you take it out what happens.. does blood flow or is absorbed into the tampon. my cousin said its like a blocker and once removed all the blood it was holding in is expelled.

I was tested and it was negative, but lately I have been experiencing severe shortness of breath and joint pain. I was told that these are symptoms of hiv. I am 54 years old and I DO have arthritis , but I was told that that is a symptom of hiv.

This might be a silly question, but one that I'm interested in nonetheless.

My wife and I want to start trying to have children in January. I just started Celexa for anxiety last month.

Does anyone know if the Celexa (or any anti-depressant)would do any potential harm to an unborn child? I know it'd be different if she was on Celexa and got pregnant.

I don't think it would make a difference, but my wife is skeptical and concerned.

I am on a healthy diet now, I only eat fruits, veggies, whole grains, lean protein and non fat dairy. I currently am eating about 1500 calories a day. I have lost about 10 lbs so far after 2 months. However, I tend to eat half my calories throughout the day (breakfast, lunch, snacks) and then the other half in the evening (dinner and snack). This is mostly because I tend to graze and eat simple foods before lunch that don't have many calories, while I usually eat a prepared meal for dinner. I don't eat after 8:30 pm. Also I work out (walking and strength training) at around 4:30 pm every day.

My question is, would it be better for me to eat more calories at the beginning of the day (like 2/3 of the daily intake) then workout, and then have a smaller evening meal. Will I burn off more this way, or does it not really matter. I have had results the way I am doing now, but I am just wondering.

I lift weights daily for my daily workout, but I heard somewhere that you should only lift 2 times a week? I think that is ridiculous, and it would completely throw me off my routine.

I know you can get a bruise from hitting a certian spot on the body hard enough. And I also know that bruises are the result of blood pooling under the skin. Well at the moment I have about 20-30 bruises from head to toe. I have no idea where I got the from. I am not hitting myself constantly, I am not very active, and I have no one around me that beats me. What else causes bruises? It is my diet? Is it from taking too much asprin? Is it a vitamin defficany? Why am I getting all these bruises? Please someone help me.

Depression, various anxiety disorders and PTSD, 2 years in treatment, meds, yet sometimes i feel like it's getting me nowhere, and start to despair. I am a suicidal self harmer (mainly cutting) and have a 4 year old. I want to see him grow up and have his own kids, yet when i despair i resent him cause I have to live for him, if nothing else, does anyone else ever feel like that and if so what do you do to 'get over' it?
