Diseases & Conditions - 1 July 2006

A few weeks ago I got news of a transfer with my job to a new state.

Around the same time I've felt like somethings in my esophagus, my heart feels like it's skipping a beat about every 5 minutes and when I wake up (and stretch), I feel as if I'm going to faint if I continue with the stretch.

So I immediately stop the stretch, and my feelings return to normal (no tingling anywhere, just extreme lightheadedness if I continue with the stretch) and only in the morning.

I have a heartrate of about 75 bpm, my breathing is about 14 breaths per min. I workout (raising my heartrate to about 160) with no problems or pain.

I don't feel nervous, my blood pressure is normal, don't have difficulty swallowing, no nausea or pains anywhere. and I don't feel dizzy any time throughout the day.

I'm making an appointment to see the doc next week.

Any thoughts on what may be happening?
P.S. I'm also a light smoker (less than a pack a day). I know! I'm trying desperately to stop.

My husband is diabetic and suspected of having kidney problems and he has been drinking lots of tea which worries me coz I heard tea are supposed to be diuretic so meaning they make your kidneys work harder? I really don't know. Anybody can advise me?

I tend to attract mosquitos very easily and my skin being sensitive, the bites leave very visible marks. As a kid i used to have LOADS of mosquito bite blisters on my arms and legs (guess i'm allergic) with kids at school actually suspecting I had chicken pox .. (unpleasant memories of school life). My mum told me they will disappear without a trace as i grow up .. well I'm 20 now and though the blisters have gone .. the marks are pretty prominent and i have to try and wear clothing that cover my limbs .. plz help!!!

I'm just wondering, because I'm so white, I can't tan at all, and when I burn, I **burn**--even with adequate sunscreen protection!

So I stay out of the sunlight during the hottest hours of the day, and avoid summers like the plague.

If I have to go out, I wear a long sleeved dress shirt to cover my arms.

Please share the specific thing you have done that have significantly improved your CFS/Fibro.

I know many things, but want to hear what worked for you so that your life could go back to some sort of normalcy.

I've had it for 17 years and it has always waxed and wanes...the past 2 years have been horrible! I am not able to do the least physical exherstion right now (again).

Please help!! And congrats if you found something that helped!!

Thank you so much.

A couple of months ago I had a really bad "outbreak" of contact dermatitis; I was covered in hives all over my chest, arms, legs, and stomach. I try and avoid the things I know I'm allergic to (silver and nickel in jewelry, etc) but I don't know what caused the massive outbreak. Since then I've had chronic itchness and frequently have smaller scale outbreaks of hives. I've tried switching everything from deodorant, detergent, not using any perfume, changing soap, etc. and am still having problems. I take Zertec for a everyday anti-histamine and I have really bad "outbreaks" on the days I don't take it. And the high humidity lately is only making things worse. Anyone deal with this and have any good remedies? anyone have any good advice?

You don't want a colostemy, & can't get enough nutrients & calories from Ensure. (laxatives don't work- documented).Enemas partially work,sometimes.Colon cleansing
won't work due to no contraction/spams of colon.
