I suffer from extremity tremor, occasional muscle jerking, deteriorating short and long term memory, inability to concentrate or organize my thoughts, frequent falls, speach problems (occasional inability to form or find the words I want). That is what comes to mind right now. MRI is clean (no lesions), EEG shows "abnormal EEG revealing a photic convulsive response at 3-12 Hz photic stimulation."

My neurologist is at a loss as to what is my problem.

My nose and throat feel like a running water tap. Have been taking lots of lemsips and sudafed decongestant. Helps to control slightly but I am still not getting better.

have HPV and since you can have no sypmtoms of haveing strains 18 and 16 and you have it for years undetected .. (I heard you could get the cervial cancer or pre-cancerus cells and it clears up sometimes on its own in a couple years ..can that happen ?) would there be any side effects of going untreated other than getting full blown vagina cancer ?

I am partially inclined to agree, but Soy and Rice milk are so expensive. Has anyone else had issue with milk and nosebleeds?

My father had 5 heart attacks over the past 12 years and last year he had a bypass surgery done. Well his heart is very weak and he's in the hospital now but is restricted from fluids because his body and lungs are retaining water.
He's very thirsty and dry in the mouth. They can only give him enough liquid for his medication but they're still waiting for his lungs to drain out. He couldn't breath at first but he's doing better now.
I was wondering if anyone knows of a product or special gum of any kind that could help quench his thirst? Or is there anything out there that can trick the brain into believing that the body doesn't need that much fluid for people who are restricted?
It's kind of a silly question but my dad is going to have to watch his water intake for the rest of his life. His heart is so weak that he has developed other health problems as well. (Diabetes, some kind of infection in the lungs and they found a spot on one of his kidney during a catscan.)

I have all the symptoms for CFS and fibromyalgia. All my blood work comes up clean. Since I am a teenage girl, my doctors are trying to push depression although i don't present the mental symptoms. My parents beleive it is more like CFS or fibromyalgia. How can i differentiate and get the correct diagnosis?

Sure I am a nurse but not a GI nurse. I rarely had a PH over 4.0 on my esophagus the entire 24 hours I had the probe in place.

Most of the time my refluxes as I felt them were under 1.0.

We were getting pretty close, so I told him. After telling him I have done oral sex on him twice. We had intercoure once with a condom. Now he is not sure he wants to deal with it. How do I make him feel protected.

Hi, Im a 23 year old male who doesnt smoke or drink

Anyway about 4/5 weeks ago I started gettin chest pains,like a stabbing pain then most of the day discomfort.
I was gettin very anxious about it and went to Doc..he dismissed it and said it was nothing.
I started gettin pains in my arms,mostly left nearly all day, hurts when apply pressure (altho this was a week after playing tennis)

I took myself to ER and they did the following tests:

1 - ECG (did it twice at different times), 2 - Chest x-ray, 3 - Blood test

All came back normal, should they have done more tests or are they the 1st tests they do and if any abnormalities then they do others?
Im always worrying about my heart and Doc says that my other symptoms are anxiety related as i feel lightheaded sometimes.
if its not my heart I feel its inflammation of the chest wall as some parts of my chest hurt to touch, also sometimes when I breath in it hurts
any comments would be apprecited!thanks alot
