My mother had an angioplasty done yesterday with stents. When she came out, she was saying she couldnt see. It;s been almost 24 hours and she still can not see. She is only 46 and this should not be happening =( She has strong grips, and nothing changed on her monitors. Also they did a catscan and nothing.

Has anyone been in this situation and had their vision came back shortley? Or does anyone know if it can come back?

As for me, it was a nine day stay in the hospital. My left lung collapsed due to fluid building up around the lining of the lung. Had to have surgery to scrape away mucous attached to the lung. Scared the heck out of me and I just went home and haven't had a cigarette since. Just quit cold turkey. That was almost two years ago. What finally made you quit and how did you do it?

I have had a letter saying I need a smear test. I've never had one before so dont know what to expect. Do you see a doctor or a nurse? What do they do to you, do they have to look between your legs?

I was given the drug Cipro by a doctor after I told her I had bacterial vaginosis and vaginitis. She was convinced I had an STD and I didn't.

Anyways this was back in March of 07 and after the medication I noticed that my bowels were loose and I couldn't hold it in. Then when that went away anytime I'd go #2 it felt like rocks were in my anus.

Its gotten just a little bit better, but now (Sept '07) everytime I go #2 I get heartburn and the rock feeling comes back all at once. After I'm done I have to lie down because its painful to walk after I wipe becase it burns and itches.

Was this because of the Cipro or something else? What could it be? I don't want to go back to the doctor's :( BTW I'm a 19 y/o female and I've never had anal sex.

I seem to have thickening on and inside the cheek where I had a root canal done years ago. I don't know if it was always like that, or if the root canal caused it. What do you think, and on what do you base your opinion?

This evening, as I was changing to go to bed, I noticed a painful lump in my breast. It appears to be fluid inside of it. From what I have read online, it sounds like it might be a cyst, but I am not entirely sure. It is around the areola and rather painful. If it helps, I just turned 25 years old and my period is due to start in the middle of next week. I plan on visiting a doctor, but my doctor is not in tomorrow and my insurance won't cover something that they don't see as being an emergency for me to go elsewhere (it is graduate student insurance, I am supposed to visit student health first, but they aren't in until Monday). I am just trying to find out more info to hopefully make myself realize it is either a cyst or it isn't. If it isn't, what else it might be?

I'm 30 yrd old now but at about 11-14. I went through physical abuse with kids at school.. I used to roam times square when i was 12 yrs old with a radio and sit on the sidewalk. I had no friends and was an outcast. I took the subway at midnight, etc. When i look back i am lucky i wasnt killed. At the time my father was kicked out for being verbally abusive, my mom worked 3 jobs, guess i felt lost.
I had nobody, my relatives never came to see me. I tried telling my Mom how sad and depressed i was alot back then. She just would say "oh get over it", "Stop whining",, so then i would just close up and never mention anything again.
My life turned around at age 14 when i was enrolled in a new school and was able to make friends, went on to college.
I used to tell myself those "dark days" never exsisted, but I have been thinking of it recently, and how terrible my childhood was.
Should I tell my Mom?

I have asked previous questions regarding my symptoms, but have yet to find a definite answer maybe someone with medical knowledge can help me understand what these test results mean.
First off, I have been very irregular in my menses for about three years now, One year no cycle at all, two years heavy bleeding w/out any days off, then my doctor gave me progesterone this past April and still no cycle. I have also been gettin bad headaches on a daily basis, bad lower stomach pain on a daily basis, I had a cyst on my right ovary and my motor skills are completely off lately, I feel like a child trying to learn how to coordinate myself all over again...blah.
Anyways, sorry to get off track, recently my hormone test results just came back in and I haven't a clue what any of it means. My FSH is 6, LH is 8.3, TSH is 1.95 and glucose is 125, and I have an abnormal trace of ketones in urinalysis, but am having difficulty losing weight. Please can anyone help me with an explaination?

How come doctors didn't treat my fathers case seriously? In a month he gained 30lbs had hard time breathing, his diabetes shot up quite high all of a sudden and had phemona(spelled wrong) Went to the hospital drained liquid from abdomen, had hard time with breathing put a oxegen mask on him to help him breath. controlled diabetes and then sent him home a week later. still complained about breathing a water gain, they told him to double then triple his water pills. A week from home we had to rush him to the hospital the second time. He was complained he was so tired went unconcious they performed surgery to take away more water from his heart. Aparently test showed no water origionally then they took more tests and it showed the water. He didn't make it through the surgery his heart stoped. After only 2 hours in the hosptial he passed away. Why did they send him home? I wonder if he would of been saved if they monitered him longer. Apparently his heart showed many scar tissues.
