I just went bowling and I bowl with my right hand. When I was finished, my left arm started to throb with a dull pain shooting down from the middle of my tricep to my pinky. and there is sort of a pins and needles felling in my pinky. kind of like when you hit your funny bone. I just started taking xenadrine efx today, the non-ephedra kind. did I just do something bowling, even though I dont bowl with my left arm. or is it something to do with my heart. I am 18 years old. should I worry. i dont wanna stop taking the xenadrine if I dont have to, but I really dont want to die.

I have terrible eczema on my legs, back and hands. The topical prescriptions I've been using just don't seem to work anymore. I'm wondering if anyone else who suffers from eczema has had any luck with taking zinc supplements. I was doing a little research today and found several sources that mention that zinc deficiencies are a common cause of eczema.

Some recomended a supplement (15-20 mg/day for women 30mg/day for men) but others said a supplement wouldn't really help.

Has anyone ever tried taking zinc for their eczema? How did that work out for you? Would you recommend it to others? Why or why not?

A mental health worker told me that my daughter had this disease and that she could not help herself.OK she knows that they have said this to her,My question is don`t you still have to make a choice,maybe I`m wrong,but in away it kinda gives them an excuse to keep doing it.If they don`t have control.If you don`t understand my question email me!I don`t mean to sound cold,it just that I have been going through this for 15 years.

My husband has been in criticle condition for the past 18 days now I understand about the liver and kidneys failing as part of the risk with open heart procedures, what I dont understand is why are his feet and one hand black and seems to have a charred like appearance. No one seems to beable to give me a straight answer, I wonder if I sould take this to another level? Was it human error? Was it medication? I dont understand, how does a strong, vital and otherwise healthy young man go in for a risky yet very common procedure and wind up looking as he does, he is on a trach and unable to move, talk or function up to this point. How was this possible, he's confused I'm confused I hope there is someone who can shed some light on this - also his extremities are very pain full and there are blisters forming. Thank you for your responses.

My son is now 5 months 21 days old, he was born 67 days before he should, and stayed in NICU for almost two months.

We took him to doctor last week and the docter suggested us to have him physical therapy for cerebral palsy as he,
1. Walks on tiptoes if put his feet on floor
2. His tiptoes often bend downside
3. His legs are not so flexible as other normal infants.

By now he could move his eyes and head along moving objects, he could slurp many syllables, he smiles a lot, he could erect his head for a long time, he can grasp toys, and seems study them sometimes. And we had the MRI result yesterday, it said everything of his brain was normal.

However, he can't laugh by now, and seems have difficulty in feeding, sometimes he even crys when being fed.

So it is really a hard choice for us, should my boy move on with the therapy? Thanks in advance!

My mom has had two Aortic Surgeries, we just found out today that she has to go through another becuase the first one is bleeding through a pinhole. The graft has to be redone. I am concerned about her over all safety. IF anyone has any information please forward it to me. Her chances are 10%/90%. 90% is her survival chance.

Over the last 3 days I have been very itchy with pimple size to misquito size bumps here and there in patches on my body. It seems to come and go like now its on my neck, lower back, and my hands have been very itchy but no hives on them. The itchyness and bumps go away within 15 min to an hour. Has this happened to anyone else PLEASE HElP it's freaking me out. Nothing I can think of could be the cause of this but I think I first realy noticed it was while I was swinging on a swing and my hands got hot and very itchy this could be the prob. but its seems kind of strange why would it spread to other parts even after I showered.

With Aids your immune system is underactive and with lupus your immune system is overactive. So wouldn't it be impossible to have both

I'm not really sure if I spelled that word right, but if you have it, does it mean something very serious?

I am going to an allergist in September but I need help for the meantime! I've had allergies all my life and I am allergic to things I cannot avoid, such as weeds, grass, and weird things like formeldahide. I think I am ruining my kidneys because right now I take a Claritin and 2 Sudafeds in the morning when I wake up, 2 Sudafeds every few hours throughout the day, 2 Benadryls at night, and another Benadryl in the middle of the night when I inevitably wake up sneezing and itching. I've even tried drinking apple cider vinegar, which was very unpleasant and didn't really work! Does anyone have recommendations for how to cope with allergies? Perhaps homeopathic ways that don't involve a lot of pills? Thanks!

I have blister like bumps that show up on my hand. They look like little bug bites, usually show up in groups or just one. I can 'pop' them and it is just clear puss. They itch, and also the skin on my hand looks dry and itchy too. I use lotion, but still itchy. Kind of like exyma (spelling?).....
