I am 34 yrs old --too old for acne! Never had this problem until I became an adult. Help! I have tried rx's, creams, anti bac. body soaps, topicals and antibiotics. Is this common and what have you done to help your adult acne? Tanning seems to help but tanning is bad for you--right?

My skin allergy test showed no allergies to pet dander or anything like that (just to pollen). Yet sometimes when I'm near my dog I get asthmatic type symptoms. I've decided it can be 1 of 3 things:

1.) A coincidence that i get the symptoms (cause I get them at other times too).

2.) I am allergic to my dog and the test was wrong.

3.) The dog is bringing in pollen or something from outside (but he's an inside dog..)

Any insight? Thanks.

About one month ago, I fell in my backyard and hit the back of my head. Since then, I feel dizzy when I hold my head up for too long, begin sweating in the evening and tire easily. I have had an MRI and EEG. What could possibly be wrong?

I haven't eaten anything since yesterday afternoon, and I feel weak. But I'm pretty sure I'll throw up anything I eat. I'm not dying or lying on the floor or anything dramatic, I just feel weak and nauseous. Also, I'm at work. Should I go home or should I stay?

Please can only genuine,knowledgable people respond to this question. It is a serious one and i am only looking for direct answers to the question - any others at this stage would be useless. Also don't include answers about community detoxing, private (and costly!) detox hospitals/rehabs please. If anyone knows of any comfortable home detox ideas...

When we sleep in our bedroom, we wake up feeling awful. This morning my daughter has been throwing up & sleeping way past normal. She is not sick, but slept in my bed with me last night. Doc's said that she has allergies & that's why she's been stuffy, but she sleeps with me every night. The plumbing under our house is pitiful. The landlord won't correct the problem & we're moving on the 17th anyway. What should I do?

If you are a cancer surviver, please list how you survived it. What tips would you give to other people who are fighting the condition? What advise would you give to others who are struggling to come to terms with their condition or just need someone to talk to?

Untill 6 yrs ago, I was taking tablets for diabetic regularly, twice a day. Then I got it controlled due to weight reduction. Diet controll and exercise. Since then, with proper exercise and diet, no medicine is required and diabetic is under controll. I have started Yoga which is also helping. Any advice for keeping it that way in future. I am 63 yrs old. 5'7" and 63 Kg

My mother got diagnosed with Lyme Disease and given antibiotics for treatment but the doctor was unable to find the tick. We have found what we believe to be the tick, and it seems to be buried into her shoulder. What should we do? Try to dig it out? Put something on it? Or something else?

it has happened to me maybe 3 times over the last 10 years....it's very scarey but clears up on its own...i will just be sitting there or looking out the window and all of a sudden i cant see clearly...the blur seems to start at one end of my eye and move to the other end and then back, in both eyes and lasts about 10 min. ..after it makes its rotation, i can see again...i have been told i may develop glaucoma by one eye doctor, but never followed up on it. Any ideas what this is if its glaucoma? sometimes i get a slight headache with it.. I do suffer from migraines on occasion but i dont think its aura this time because i didnt have a migraine. yes i kno i will have to go to the eye doctor soon. btw im in my 40's. thanks for any help.
