I've been having tummy... issues... that I won't describe here (you're welcome), but they come and go so much that I think it must be something I'm eating. Help!

Also, could it be dehydration? I exist on pretty much only Diet Coke and have to force myself to drink water.

I don't have history of diabetes nor have family history of it. Recently during my annual check up, my hemoglobin a1c is high 6.7% and 6.8% done within 1 week, while my fasting sugar is normal 108. Am i diabetic? Or do i have metabolic syndrome? I am guessing that my doctor would want me to have glucose tolerace test. If my glucose tolerace test is normal, with high hga1c test, am i still diabetic?

ive lived with a certain degree of insomnia all my life, taking a long time to fall asleep, i used to deal with this problem as best i could but and as ive gotten older (31) and certain pressures have mounted in life, I gradually developed semi serious depression in the last two years. I yearn to better myself to bring me out of depression, but I cannot fall asleep now without Xanax and Alchohol, and this preventing me from reaching my full potential, physically and mentally.
I go to the gym work my butt off thinking it will help me fall asleep naturally, but I end up laying in bed for hours, the only way is to increase my xanax dosage now to nearly 2mg's which I really dont want to do. I can mix alchohol and take 1mg and I know I can fall asleep, but damn, I dont wanna drink everynite either. If I do not take the xanax and just drink to pass out, then I will feel hungover the next day and cant focus on work or excercise. I am at wits end, dont know what to do. Any advice out there?

Been struggling with tennis elbow for 7 weeks. I haven't touched a racquet in 6 weeks and stopped lifting weights 4 weeks ago. Started taking aleve twice a day 5 days ago and plan to continue that for total of 14 days then see MD if no better. I was icing it 1-2 times a day for about 2 weeks but stopped after no improvement felt. Any thoughts?

I've tried everything. Massages from friends, rolling on a ball to try and work it out. When those didn't work for me a heating pad has always worked in the past, but not this time. I woke up in pain today, and it'll just randomly start aching during the day. Is there anything else I can do or should I go see my chiropractor?

Ok, I am very healthy. I eat really well and I work out everyday. I used to never get bruises... someone could hit me as hard and they could and you would never see a bruise. Lately I have been noticing bruises all over and I don't even know what happened. Does anyone know what would cause me to all the sudden start bruising so easy? Is it a lack of something in my body or my diet? I am talking like huge purple bruises and I wont even know what caused them which means it obviously wasn't something with a lot of impact.

Thanks guys!

My mom is in hospice I know we won't know when she will die but what are some of the signs to know she is declining. When my grandma died in hospice they told us she had two weeks but died within a couple of days how do the hospice people know this is it because your loved ones stops eating or what any nurses or anyone who has been through hospice can give me some insight. My mom has stoped eating and talking to people I just wanted to know if this is a sign anyone else has seen when someone is about to die.

He had gained 10 but has loss two oz since thanksgiving. He cries constantly and has no muscle tone. He can't hold his head up at all, can not track with his eyes, and doesn't seem to be able to focus well (his eyes still cross ALOT). He eats wells and is satisfied after eating not wanting to eat again for 3 hours. My sister in law is beside herself. He is going to a specialist in a couple of days. They told us to be prepared because the pediatrician thinks that he will be tested for cystic fribrosis, and CP. Please if these symptoms sound familiar to anyone let us know. We what to be prepared emotionally.

Does anyone think they could help me? I get the crust on the outside of my nose during the 3rd stage (3rd day) of my cold or flu. Right now I'm on the 4th stage (4th day) of my flu. It's disgusting and I hate it being here!!! I tried searching for a remedy of some sort but they only had stuff for dog's noses and I'm a human so that doesn't help much..Anyway please help me! This has annoyed me for a long time and its kinda awkward =( please help, thanks.

My orthodentist told me that i will have to remove three wisdom teeth as otherwise they will mess up with my already aligned teeth.My oral surgeon said that general anaesthsia will be best coz i will be less traumatised and that he will be able to remove all three teeth at one go.I just want to know whether general anaesthesia is safe.
