I have a lot of trouble breathing sometimes. I did my research and I think I have asthma, but I don't know what to do about it. (Talking to my parents won't work.)

Here is a real lame question. I’m new to the diabetic world and I was told I should take very good care of my feet. There are some areas that need a bit of looking at, on the heel for one. My question is; before I apply the flexitol, Can I wear my diabetic socks after I apply the cream or will that make the stuff rub off and not work?

I was diagnosed with a genetic condition called Marfan Syndrome about 6 years ago. I know all about it but not many people do. I was just wondering how many people out there know about the condition. Even some doctors I have been to have never seen anyone with it. I am just curious I guess!

I am a 29-year-old female. I have a history of panic and anxiety disorders. I have had a couple of episodes of SVT which sent me to the hospital in the past 3 years. I have had what I suppose are PACs or PVCs since the anxiety disorders started and have been taking atenolol for the past year for them and the rapid heart rate. It's worked well, but in the past couple of weeks I have been under a lot of stress and the palpiations have come back. I went to the doctor today and had an EKG done. The doctor came in and said that my EKG wasn't completely normal because there were some inverted t-waves along with the normal rhythm. What can this mean?

I have unexplained bleeding.. bright red blood and it's been off and on two weeks and each doctor tells me it's not their place. I do not know at this point who to see. I am tempted to just go to the emergency room and let them find the right "ologist"..
IT started with a checkup with my rheumatologist and I thought I had a uti or bladder infection and from there i've had scans, ultrasounds, blood work and they found a cysts on the ovary.. but they say that has nothing to do with rectal bleeding. Just recently started gluten free diet.. for celiac disease and I have lupus and sjogren's.. and premenopause...so there is a lot going on. I just don't want to wait too late.. and everyone is ignoring this issue.. and it's my concern. I've heard gastronologist, urologist and honestly I don't know as this was from the rheumatologist and the gynecologist.. ANY HELP? I"ve been online.. but not sure who I need to call.. not sure too if it's okay to just let it be.. confused. thanks for any info

My aunt has stage 4 liver cancer that has spread to her spleen and pancreas. They said she has 6 mos. She's been very sick for 2 mos now, and was admitted to the hospital last night for pain and trouble breathing. Shes on oxygen. They said she's a 10 on a 1-10 scale. They said shes had it for prob 4 yrs. Our family is devestated. Her daughter who is my cousin, is my best friend. She's only 28, my aunts 54. Im in New York, theyre in California. I moved 7 mos ago. I wish I knew then. Does anyone have any advice or know about this. Does 6 mos mean 6 mos or sooner? or longer? Since she's so sick now, is she going to die soon? How do I be there for my cousin when I'm so far away? I dont have the $ to fly there. Death is so sad. How do you say goodbye? What do YOU say?? Im supposed to call my aunt tonight, she'll only be able to listen. What do I say without crying my head off? She's my favorite aunt, this isn't supposed to be happening. Not yet. Thanks for listening
