I have had IBS for about 10 years and I just found out that I have Crohn's disease too. For about the last two years I have worked very little because the meds don't work for me and my nerves are shot because I can't make it to the bathroom. My doctor keeps giving me the same meds--should I insist about the surgery so maybe I can return to work or try to sign up for SSI?

My son was suspected of having Cushing's Disease. Since he is 3 1/2 and wets the bed, they gave him a low dose Dextramethesone Supression test , to see if he had it. It came out negative , so they said he doesn't. They are reconsidering, and want to do a 24 Urine for cortisol test.. what are the chances that if the other test was negative, this one might be positive? Should I prepare?

A friend undergone an HIV test and the doctor suggested to test STD as well. They only got blood from him. The result said that he got chlamydia. I read some posting that chlamydia is tested thru urine sample. Can it also be tested using blood sample? If it is not, that means the clinic was cheating. I think since chlamydia is the most common STD, they just say a patient have chlamydia so they can sell to them medicine to take which means extra income to the clinic. Am i correct?

My 3 and 1/2 year old son gets pimples.. worse than I did when I was a teenager, all over his body. Arms , legs, face, back, rear.. I don't know why he would be getting pimples. Also, every few days his chest, back and arms fill with tiny raised red dots that look like ingrown hairs or something. They go away and come back. I keep getting told allergies, but they won't give me anything and tell me to cover him with baby lotion that doesn't work.. what could this be and are there any suggestions how to fix it?

My mother in law is dying of colon and liver cancer. She's been in and out of the hospital since April of this year. I know it's starting to have an effect on her kids, one of which is my husband. He's been pretty moody lately and I feel like I am annoying him...is there anything I can do? We go to the hospital several times a week to visit her - right now she is in ICU - and I think everybody is kind of wishing she would pass away so that we no longer have to watch her be in pain. My husband was always so bubbly and fun - but now I am worried that with his mom so ill, he may change. I am also worried about the effect it will have on him towards my mom - he loves her - but will he resent her after his mom passes away and my mom is still here and healthy? His mom is 67, my mom is only 54. Sincere answers only.
