Over the past four years I have been having infrequent attacks of severe abdominal pain. After some investigating, my doctors thought this was related to my gallbladder, but the ultrasound showed nothing. They ended up treating me for an ulcer. The attacks are still happening even after treatment. Ultimately, it was decided the problem was biliary cholic.
I get these attacks about four times a year. Each attack results in a trip to the emergency department, where I am given injections of gravol and a narcotic pain killer like Demerol or Dilaudid for the pain.

The pain is from my bellybutton to where my ribs meet - and sometimes wraps around my ribs migrating into my back. X-rays and ultrasounds always come back fine. My bloodwork shows an elevated white blood cell count. Liver, kidney, and pancreatic function are always normal. I'm being sent for a HIDA scan soon. Does anyone have any ideas of what this pain could be if it isn't my gallbladder?

My boobs sore? I know it can mess up my period and stuff; however, other things have been going on too, but it's hard to say. Is that right though. Stress can do that?

I have a friend who thiks she may have an STD. She has never had sex. She has had oral two or three times. (it has been a year since) She had a rash all over her legs for about 3 months. It is goe now nut she gets sores in her mouth all the time. I googled STDs for her and there was something about a thick white vaginal discharge abd itching. She says she has that but thought that was normal and never thought anything of it. She is scared to tell her mom and I cant tell mine. What do you think it could be?

Only about half of people agree to be organ donors when they get their driver's license. That means thousands of people die every year waiting for organs that never come.

If you're not an organ donor, why not?

Guys, what is your opinion on really strong females who can lift more than the majority of males. I am refering to females who can deadlift 500 pounds or like some of the chicks who compete in the oylpmics that can cling and press 315. Personally i think it is kind of freaky and intimidating.

For the last three months I have been going through this wierd "sickness"....it starts with quite a bit of gas, then I notice my bowel movements are looser and more frequent (2-3 times a day) and I usually get a little bit of nausea, mostly in the afternoon. My body feels like it has a cold, have aches and just feeling "off" a little. Then these "symptoms" taper off within a few days, bowel movements get pretty normal and I go about once a day and have less gas. I noticed all this started about three months ago when I was on antibiotics, clindaymycin, for an abscess tooth. The tooth was pulled and I didn't end up finishing the antibiotics because I started feeling very ill. Now three months later, four doc and ER visits to be sure, I am told nothing is wrong with me. I have been able to go about my daily job and such but my body tells me its not 100% right like it used to be. Is it my insides or a re-ocurring viral infection?...Any advice or help would be a godsend, Thank you much :)

I remember reading a story about a person who was in a car accident and lost a lot of weight because no one found him/her in time. This person had to go through innovative ways to get food trapped in the vehicle (maybe that's the name of it, trapped?) I've also lost weight when I had times I could not eat, but what about if I decide not to eat or go into mourning stage, what will happen?
At what point to I HAVE to start eating again?

I have been experiencing severe abdominal pain due to my period. I went to a doctor a few days ago and had a very painful internal exam in which the doctor felt a lump. We did a cat scan and a ultrasound and found no ovarian cysts. I was checked for STDs a few months ago and it came back clean (no new partners since). She thought that maybe I was just having cramps, but three days later I am in a lot more pain which is now shooting down my leg in addition to my abdomen. I have had this pain before with my period, but now it is so intense that I can barely step down on my leg. I have an appointment on Friday, but I was just curious if anyone has experienced anything like this before? I'm so confused since the CT and ultrasound came back clean.
