For about a month I have been having abdominal pains.
They come and go all over the stomach.
*I pretty much always have a bad pain on the right side ( where appendix is) I have had mine out
* The pain has recently come on to the left side too
* Pains up and down the right side of abdomen that come and go
* The pain near appendix is at its worst just before I empty bowels and after
* There has been blood in my stool three times
* I barely have to empty bowels. I mainly only empty them every four days because I dont need to go ( I dont have to strain/ push when I go/ it is all very easy except for pain near appendix
* Pain on inner top right thigh (not all the time)
* most of the aches in stomach are dull
* It hurts to push in on certain areas
*no appetite - after 1 bite i am full

I have been to 3 doctors and they are all baffled. One has ordered a colonoscopy but he doesn't think it will achieve anything.
Has any1 been through this?? Or know what my symptoms represent??

I have a lot of unresolved issues with my ex, so along with feeling sad, I've been very angry. Plus, tomorrow would have been our wedding day, so I need to feel the emotion of some good music to get me through this mood. I've been listening to a lot of Fiona Apple. She's good at singing about anger. What songs did you relate to the most when you went through a breakup?
Here's the song I'm hooked on right now.

and had no way of talking to anyone or living a normal life, would you want to be taken off life support? Or would you continue to live as a vegetable. This is hypothetically, if you had the coice.

I am bleeding very irregularly. (too often and too MUCH at a time, and it's BRIGHT red.) When I was 14, I started taking Zoloft, and got off of that, when I was 16. (4 monthds shy of 17) but when I was 15, I also started taking NuvaRing until I was 18. So, with the combonation of Zoloft and Nuva Ring. (I am now off of BOTH of those) So can I be going through early menopause? (Hot and cold flashes, and heavy irregular bleeding) (My Husband and I have been "trying" for over a year now, and nothing)...Plus, all of my blood work always comes back normal. Whats up? Thanks.

My weight is 110 Kg and when I was watching one of the american programs which called "The biggest loser" on TV I saw a very huge guy whose weight is 240 lb, so when I converted my weight from kilo to pound I found that I weigh 264 lb which I do not believe it because I am not as fat as the man I saw on tv.

Im not sure what else to call it other then drainage, but its when crap drains from your nose down the back of your throat. Im guessing that it builds up for awhile then makes me have to throw up. I have tried eating crackers and such to prevent this many times but I seem to be out of luck and the doctor put me on some claratin (spelling?) pills which are really small and some nose sprey, I think it was called nasocort+astline or something along those lines. Yet still I end up throwing up does anybody know What could help me?

As a child.. I developed phobias quite easily. I've been struggling with a few lately, and I would like to know what would cause me to have so many phobias. They're pretty unrelated and my childhood was not very traumatic. I was diagnosed with some sort of juvenile on set schizophrenia.. I'm a bit shakey on the details..

My grandmother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer about last November. I did research, but it didn't help very much. So I was just wondering does anyone know the average life span for a pancreatic cancerous patient? Do you know of anyone that has survived? Or ANYTHING about it, if so, please tell me!

I think I'm starting to develop a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI). I've had it once before so I can sort of tell. Since I'm already starting to get it (not that bad but it might progress) is there anything I could do that could STOP it without using having to go to the doctor and get antibiotics? I heard water and cranberry juice helps but can it actually stop it? If anybody has any advice that would be greatly appreciately. Thanks

I dropped a large metal chair on the top of my foot two weeks ago. It didn't swell or hurt initially, so I ignored it and hiked for a week. After a week my foot became swollen (not discolored) and very painful. X-Rays showed no fractures. Per Dr.'s orders, I've been taking ibuprofen, icing, and elevating for four days but it's not geting any better (in fact, worse every day), though she said it would be fine in a week. Weirdly, it always hurts more when I elevate or ice it. Is this normal? How long will it take to get better (or at least stop getting worse?!?) Should I go and get another x-ray done if it's not better in a few days?

My sister is type 2 and she does not watch her diet like she should. She lives with me, so I see how she eats. I don't like to remind her that she shouldn't be eating that, because when I do she flys off the handle and tells me to myob. But she is living in MY house and I love her so much, I know what she is eating is hurting her. She is borderline right now, her dr told her might have to start insulin bc her sugar levels are so high - 315 at highest. I am even following the diabetic diet - I am not diabetic - just to eat right, and she turns her nose up when I make us dinner.
What should I do? Let her make her own meals? She just isn't watching her diet. I'm worried about her.

I found this book called The Easy Way To Quit Smoking by Allen Carr. When he claimed this book would help me quit smoking without alot of will power, I thought he was full of crap. But I read the book, and it actually works. I'm so surprised. I've been quit for 5 days now and its not even bothering me. If you see the book, pick it up. They should give it away for free.
