I don't know if anyone has experience with this, but I was over at a friends house, who has this compressed air can. It's supposed to be used to blow air out hard and fast to clean the dust out of keyboards. Exactly like this http://www.cleaner-systems.co.uk/ProdImages/FalconDustoffXL.jpg expect a different brand. When you turn them upside down and spray them, they shoot out REALLY cold air. My friend told me to try spraying my arm and I did for about half a second. It covered a spot about 3 inches in diameter and it iced over on my skin and didn't melt for about a minute. It hurt like hell and then about 3 hours later it started blistering and bubbling up. It's not turning any colors so I don't think it's frost bite. But could this still be a problem?

I had a heart attack 8 months ago while driving. Now it seems every time I get in a car with or without someone I can't leave my home. Even though I know it could happen again at home as easily as on the road. My brain is keeping me stuck in my home. Don't say suck it up and just walk out the door. Easier said than done. Someone mentioned PTSD.

apparently no symptom at all, how serious is this, does it worsen in stages, like cancer; how fast does this progress n is there medication to control it? can a person suffer a sudden death. Is it tru there's nothing that can be done? just like OA ?

Is lupus a slow progression or does it rapidly develop? I think I may have lupus. After researching, I've come to realize that I have several of the symptoms, some I've had for years and others developed recently.I'm 25 Symptoms are: Knee pains; started in my early teens,had x-rays but they showed nothing.In the past few years they've started giving out and tingling like they're going to sleep. Next: migraines; started in my later teens, Dr. said they were stress related. I'm tired alot, I get the recommended 7-8 hrs of sleep most nights but I'm still tired. Then there is depression/anxiety:Started having mild anxiety attacks and mild depression in my late teens, again Dr. said it was stress. I also have been getting knots on my legs when I stand for more than 10-20 mins. The knots don't hurt. This spring I was out in the sun and developed a rash on my exposed skin.First it felt like razor burn, then it became itchy.Never happened before. None on my face however.Normal signs of lupus?

What do you guys think this could be? My boyfriend recently started complaining to me that he had an itchy penis. He says that it is itchy on the head of the penis where the fold is (He is not circumsized). He says there has been no discharge or pain during urination. I have no symptoms of anything. I was thinking it could be jock itch (because he does have athletes foot, which could have been transferred there). I have also been researching about male yeast infections which sounds to me like that could be what it is (Maybe I don't know I have a yeast infection, but gave it to him), but I am not sure. If you guys have any advice on what it could be, please let me know, or if you have more info on male yeast infections or jock itch, please let me know too.

My nephew may have cerebral palsy. He is one year old and is just starting to sit up for a short period of time. He aspirates solid foods into his lungs, has a hard time focusing and has very little muscle tone. The doctors have not diagnosed it yet because he had no complications at birth, but are saying they will probably end up calling it cerebral palsy. I keep reading that life expectancy and quality of life depends on the severity. His parents are in complete denial about it and say that he will be fine. I would like to know whether he would be considered severe or mild.
