Let me just say I’m a newly Diagnosed Diabetic “Hyperglycemic” Its been a real pain getting info with this but now I have meetings set up with Diabetes specialists, and nutritionists. It was olso recommended that I get rid of my physician “who is not a full doctor just a P.A.C.” and switch to an Endocrinologist. I was just put on insulin a few days ago. I wont even get into the whole story of the headaches I have been dealing with trying to find info for myself as well as help. Basically now that the “first stages” of bringing my blood sugar down are almost intact would it benefit me now to switch to a endocrinologist?

I have struggled with drinking too much for years. have attended AAmeetings and never felt comfortable. I ahve studdied them on line and even read the info but I do not see how telling everyone about how I have messed up helps me when i pass a liquor store after 2-4 days without a drink. i don't club (anymore) I actually released a friendship when I realised all we did was drink together. So is there SOMETHING else out there besides AA to help me? I have considered hypnosis, acupuncture, locking myself in the home..I've actuall done that one B4..........

the french drink wine at every meal or at least one meal a day.
it seems that in this country alcoholism is diagnosed if a person drinks one or two drinks a day.

my legs itch like crazy and sometimes -especially in the winter- they get red and scabby spots and little bumps.... I tried not shaving once but that didn't help. I put lotion on and it helps sometimes but not really, and even dermetoligists don't have anything that makes it go away. Once I went to mexico and it went away maybe because of the climate but I can't live in mexico lol..(I live in northern usa) does anyone else have this problem? if it's exzema how do you get rid of that if medication doesn't help? anything natural that works?

I recently had a HPV test come back as High Risk after a routine exam. I have no warts, and no symptoms at all. I will have to go back in 3 months for a recheck, which I am not too worried about, but what could this mean for my husband? Is there any risk to him at all? Are there any precautions that we need to take?

I have all the warning signs for Multiple Sclerosis,and a half sister who has MS. I have asked my doctor's to test me and what my symptoms were, only to be told i didnt need the test. I'm in North Carolina and would love to find a doctor that would work with me to find if I do indeed have MS or what else is wrong with me.

Sometimes when I get up after lying down on my couch or wherever, all of a sudden my vision fades out to black for a while until I sit down. I love chocolate and I unfortunately like to eat a lot of it, so I was wondering if what I have is just low blood sugar or diabetes. Diabetes runs in my family, so could anyone tell me what the usual signs of both diabetes and low blood sugar are?

I am 26 yrs old, I suffer from severe headaches that come on suddenly. They ruled out migraines. I also am extremely fatigued. Recently I began my third experience in three years of getting aches and fevers at night. By morning, the fever is gone, but when the evening begins to set in, the aches begin and I know a fever isn't far behind. The first time this happened, it happened for three weeks. Doctor couldn't find solution.
