sorry i asked this in the wrong category before. according to my preliminary ultrasound results i have some small things in my right kidney.. the largest being 3.8mm. Could one of these things be a tumor or is that too small to be a tumor? dont tumors usually grow to be over a centimeter? thanks

My son started complaining about itching thinking he had a insect bite. By Mondays when he showed me he had hives all over a couple on the face. They start as a pink circle then turn into raised hives that connect elongated. Anyone ever have a kid with this? Doc said benadryl and removed the new stuff in diet, did that and he is still getting them. Does anyone know how long it takes to get rid of course of this? Doc may see him today waiting on call she said cant be something he has always eaten but I think she is wrong anyone agree?

IT's stomach cancer and she's only 30. I looked it up and it doesn't sound like a good one to have (only 18.8% of people live at least five years). Also, most people don't find out about it until it's in later stages.

My question is: How should I help her deal with this? There's a possibility its spread to her liver and now she's hearing voices telling her to kill herself.

I don't know what to do. Help!?!?!?!

My husband has recently got over bacterial pneumonia (MRSA). The doctors told him that he must never smoke again. I have just discovered that he has been smoking secretly. Could this be a big problem or am I worrying unnecessarily???

Hi, I just noticed that my father was having trouble making out his checks last night, he'll be writing and then it trails off. Yet, this is a man who has worked in a factory for 35 years and still does, he does not seem to have any other PD symptoms yet his doctor said the stiffness he is getting may also be a symptom. I am worried about his writing, does anyone have info. on writing issues with Parkinson's?
Thank you!

I don't know how to put this into a question but it is really important.

There is this skin disease going around called MORGELLONS. I seen it on Primetime last night. The people that have it are being called dillusional.

Ok they complain of a parasite-like thing crawling under their skin. It is NOT Scabies. They don't know what it is.The sufferers have described "fiber like" material sprouting from their skin. That comes in the colors of red,blue,green, and black. There are other things associated with it also like wounds that like like pimples at first but when errupted they don't heal. There is a boy that is 6yrs old and has had the same sore on his lip for FIVE YEARS!! It wont heal. There have been more cases reported in FLORIDA,TEXAS, and CALIFORNIA. Some people have been suffering for decades. This disease could cause neurological problems.It's too much to write. look here for moer info.http://www.rense.com/general63/diaryofamorgellons.htm
