I didnt do very well when given the pinhole test during the eye chart test. A few months back I woke with swollen wattery eyes and I did shampoo scrubs to fix it.
Is there something wrong with retina when you dont do well on pinhole test? Anything I can do to help my vision get more light to my retina?

my boyfriend just got a physical done for his new job. lately he hasnt been feeling well , he has a sore throat and hes begining to lose his voice. this is because he went out in the rain without a jacket. but anyways, at the doctors office his urine had a little bit of blood in it. the doctor said it was only a little, and that he still was ok to work. but told him to go get that checked out. i am really concerned. what could have caused this to happen?

peroid in 3 years now....I went on the pill and away it went. I had some hormone level tests which were high and my doc said that they were quite high which is indicative that I am NOT menopausal or premenapausal. So just now my GYN called and said she wanted to repeat the blood levels again cuz this is very unusual. I'm going out tomorrow to do the blood tests and it won't be dictated till probably late next week or something. Does anyone know about stuff like this...I'm 45 but haven't had my period in 3 yrs....what's up with that??? Only serious answers please. Thanks in advance!

Several members of the family are sneezy with itchy eyes and itching in the roof of the mouth. It seems like hayfever, but the internet says there is no weed, tree, grass pollen or mold. What is in the air different from other years? It has been unusually warm.

My kids & I have REALLY itchy heads, but I know it's not lice! With 4 kids I've seen that before. We rinse the shampoo out well & the only thing I can think of is that there are a lot of spiders in the house lately, but think it would be odd that they are only bitting us on the head? And would that make you itch? I know this sounds silly, but it's really annoying for all of us! (except my husband who is mostly bald. LOL)

My aunt has terminal cancer, about 8 weeks life expectancy. We have arranged palliative home care but she is essentially refusing nursing assistance. Her family and a local program provide meals and light housekeeping, pay the bills. She hasn't had a bath since August, changes her clothes about every 2 weeks, not taking her meds, and is lying to the weekly nurse about all of this. What can be done legally and medically to ensure she gets the care she needs, even if she doesn't want it?

Ok, I haven't been feeling good for about 6-9 months. This past summer I wound up in the hospital with Menengitis. It's like I can never get over this hump...
Well my doc wants me to go see an Infectious Disease Doc and a Hematologist.
My blood tests from last week reveal 2500 WBC, high Lymph at 67, and low neutrophils.
Also, my doc told me that my lymph nodes in my nech and groin are swollen.
Anybody out there with advice???

Thanks!
