My son's eczema has flared up so severely. I've never seen it so bad before. I'm not aware of any major changes in diet, use of soaps, or other environmental things. Does eczema get worse in the teen years? Anyway, I think the doctor should see him but I am not sure if it should be his allergist or a dermatologist.

hi there heres my story started going the gym about 3 months back to loose some weight and gain muscle i have gained muscle but not what i want maybe because of my diet i recently changed my diet (4 days ago) to a high protein low carb and low fat diet this because i am going to start bodybuilding.

i do have a stomach on me though and i was wondering what is the best way to get rid of it mainly because i want 6 pack abs for when i go into competition ive had a look and have seen that a balance of cardio and weight training is good but can u loose the weight on your stomach without cardio training because i hate cardio excersize only thing cardio i like to do is cycling and rowing i hate running.

so what do i do plz help!!

My right tonsil seems swollen and my throat is a bit tender as well. Is this anything to be nervous about? I'm 24 and have always had a somewhat enlarge right tonsil, but it's never hurt like this. The throat is tender when you put pressure on it (if you press my neck from the outside), and internally my throat hurts a bit as well, but I always have a slight postnasal drip so that's not really a cause for concern.

Is this simply a small case of tonsillitis? (No, I don't see any white spots or anything on the tonsil just yet.) The tonsil feels enlarged enough that it's physically uncomfortable. Can I just take Tylenol/Ibuprofen, get rest, and wait it out?

My step-dad hung himself a little over a week ago, after a mental breakdown and severe depression that lasted about a month before he killed himself. My mom blames herself because she was supposed to be with him at the time, but he convinced her to go on home (he was at his woodworking shop) and he'd be joining her at home soon after, when he was finished cleaning up. He had been doing fine all day. My mom was exhausted from caring for him, because he would wake up several times every night having panic attacks, so she had a lapse in judgement. So she won't accept the normal "you can't blame yourself, you didn't know this would happen" condolences, because she says she should have been with him.

She also was the one who found him, so in her mind she will always have the image of him hanging.

I've never seen my mom so broken. I want to help her through this but I don't know what to say. I know that she shouldn't blame herself, but how can I help her realize this?

I used to have brown spotting for a few days before the real flow (red blood). But after my D&C, my period came and the first day was not brown spotting, but red blood. But the blood wasn't a whole lot and started and stopped on the 1st day. Then the second day it came again and then continued to a medium to heavy flow.

Would I count the 1st day or 2nd day to be Day 1?

A good friend of mine has been sick for months now. She is eating very little, yet gaining weight at a pretty good pace. She is sleeping, on and off, around 16 hours a day. She has a pain in her ribcage. She has been to doctor after doctor after doctor and they all find nothing wrong. She has almost become an invalid at this point. Can anyone help???

I constitally think of the bad things that could happen... today driving to work...(because I have to touch two wires together to get heat) I thought about what would happen if the glove I was wearing caught on fire! Then went further from fire to car accident. I almost always think of what I would do if something bad happened. Someone dies or I die or I get hurt someone I love gets hurt. I think of all of these mean, scary things that COULD happen; Am I just being parniod, or could I have an anxiety disorder? HELP!!

My MIL has just been diagnosed with cancer. She went to the doc for an MRI to look at her back because she was experiencing longterm pain. They found lump on spine. CAT and PET revealed lump in breast (second time, first was 15 yrs ago - believed to be source), also found lump on bone in arm, on ribs, and another spot on bone. Brain, heart, and lungs look ok. Doc told her that people live 15 years with this prognosis.. Is that crap or is he telling truth?

My DH lost his dad 5 years ago in an accident and he's been looking at losing his mom, she's also in congestive heart failure (14 yrs and counting) and has chronic asthma, etc. She already takes 20+ meds 2x daily for all of it. I'm just searching for anyone elses' experience in the matter. They said breast was stage 4.

It's not really for me but for my mom. She had a stroke last Thursday and without insurance. She doesn't work cause she has disablilities that won't allow her to. She doesn't have any help from the government now. Also is this something SHE has to do or can I do it for her. She is in the mind set of a 3 year old and cannot make her own decisions and it's to late to think about getting power of attorney over her and I can't afford to hire a lawyer about being her guardian. We both live in Missouri if that helps.

I had my gal bladder removed 3 weeks ago. I felt a lot better write away. I was up walking around the next day and in 3 days I felt almost normal. But when I do normal things like driving or reaching and bending alot I start to get this really sharp pain on my wright side where my gal bladder was. The pain is very sharp and takes my breath away. If I take a deep breath or bend over it feels like I have a knife in my side. When I wake up the next day I feel a lot better and my pain is hardly there.
Should I be worried? Is that normal?

This is my first job in life. I am stressed out to the max with the kind of people I work with. I love the company and I have the strong intention to get the company into a good position. But the people are very rude and they bully me because I am the youngest. I am also naive with them and it's so hard. I dont know I no longer want to stay in the job. But I don't want to let my boss feel helpless. I don't like to do this job also because of the kind of society I am living in. I have to talk a lot with the people to promote the products of my company. But men, ( not guys of my age ) mistake me that I am pushy and ready to do anything with them. It's hard because even when I am not in my office they come to talk to me and do all kind of htings. This job also affects my personal life a lot that way. The thing is I am scared to resign as this is my first job and the boss expects a lot from me. But I am pretty sure with my qualifications I can get into another job. What should I do?
