for example, if you know someone has a disease or condition which may not affect them day to day but is very serious (not fatal though), eg, diabetes or something, should it affect the way people treat them? I mean, even if someone behaves badly and is generally a not very nice person, should they be treated with kid gloves because of their health? Do they deserve special treatment? I can't work this one out for myself.

My hair has been gradually thining for the past 5 years now and is getting really bad. After a skin biopsy test last year my doctor finall confirmed to me today that there is nothing majorly wrong and that its a really common condition (hair loss).

So now instead of refering me to another specialists he has giving me a scalp lotion to try.

...Sounds good but when i read what it was for, it seems as though its not for people suffering hair loss but far worse skin scalp conditions like, eczema, dermatitis (itching), psoriasis of the scalp...all of which i don't have!

its also used for seborrhoea capitis (a condition causing redness and inflamation of the scalp and crusty patches of the scalp.

It all seems rather scary to me as all the above symptons are not related to me! also the side effects are bad too!!!

Please help!!! should I listen to my doctor and use it???

I always get better diagnosises, the Nurses guess correctly before the test come in. I had to push the doctor due screen for Lyme's but the nurse had diagnosed it months earlier just based on the symptoms. In the meantime I had a series of X-rays and scans and had my wisdom teeth removed because of Lock Jaw.

I also think they have better bedside manner, and seem to have a better handle on multiple traumas and emergencies.

Hi everyone!
I am 23 120lbs 5'3. I have a healthy weight but I have not worked out in 5 years, therefore I am not "healthy"... So, I decided to start working out to tone-up. My gym is about 1/2 mile away and I walk there for my warm up. When I get to the elipictal my heart rate jumps to 140BPM within seconds at a rate of 3.0-4.5 mph. The funny thing is, I don't feel like I am working hard at all--but when I work harder, to get a sweat, my heart rate goes to 157 and I start to freak out b/c i'm nervous I will have a panic attack. (Panic suffers understand that sometimes just feeling our heartbeat faster can cause us some anxiety..) Any help? I go to the doctor and they've never said anything is wrong with my blood pressure, and they always take my pulse.

Also: I am not on any drugs
I have cut-out about 250 calories a day
Was on Amoxcilian last week: strep throat.
No stress

Thank you :)

Yesterday, my sister's boyfriend and I got into a HUGE fight over this. I think it's okay, he thinks it's not okay. I was just wondering what other people thought of it, and why.
