I have recently spent a lot of time in the sun without wearing sunblock. A couple days ago I found two small, beauty-mark looking things on my shoulder and stomach. Could these possibly be cancerous? I would like to hear from people with personal experience or medical knowledge.

I wast just diagnosed with TMJ. I had been diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse syndrome when I was in my early 20's. When I was looking up information on TMJ, I found that some studies have shown that 51% of people with MVP will have TMJ because both are considered connective tissue disorders. I have all the classic symptoms of MVP and TMJ. Has anyone else heard of this? I don't see that information on some sites...and I know you can't trust a lot of health sites on the internet. I also have a lot of the symptoms of fibromyalgia too (never diagnosed and probably won't delve much into that because that is one of those "gray area" diseases that could be 10 million other things and I don't feel like wasting the time/energy on that unless something really goes haywire).

thanks!

My sinuses and ears hurt. This prescription Vikadin is cutting the pain, a little. I feel like I want to barf, but I don’t know if it is my inner ear, or the Vikadin. I'm going nuts this morning! I can't eat! I can't think! Is it the pain or the dumb drug that is driving me nuts? I’m getting a CT scan this afternoon, and then they might find out why I am in such pain.

For now, what can I do keep my mind off the pain? I can’t meditate at work. I suppose I could just put my headphones on and crank up Phil Collins??

What do you do? I just need somthing to control the pain for a few hours until the doc can do somthing!

Hi, i'm a 27 year old guy, reasonably slim, not overweight, non smoker but drink occasionally. A few months back i went to the doctors complaining of chest pains. I could feel my heart beating hard and fast and when this happened i became breathless and faint. My doctor did various tests and concluded that i was perfectly healthy. However i am still having pains, maybe once a week and in the last few months my girlfriend has been making fun of the increasing creases in my ear lobes. After a bit of reasearch i found this could be related to heart disease and may explain my chest pains. Am i correct in saying this and would i have enough "ammo" to request some further tests at the doctors. I also have fatty deposits on my stomach which is very strange as i am quite slim. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Tom

The problem with kicking him out is that he has diabetes really bad with blood sugars over 400 every day, he has no health insurance so he is just, well, I guess slowly dying. He doesn't seem to understand about his diet, he eats anything. He is not overweight, on the contrary, 6' tall 160#. He lost all the weight probably from the keytones eating up his fat stores. He has passed out twice, maybe more, two times that he has told me about, from high glucose levels I am sure, because he complained of intense thirst prior to blackout.
This delimma is worse because he is not willing to comply with his diet or his medications that we get free from some pharmacutical companys. I am almost bankrupt and getting depressed. I try to motivate him to get a job , so he will have something to do with his time and keep himself out of trouble, but he just seems lazy or doesn't care. I work full time and very hard too. I am living pay check to paycheck. Do I kick him out?
