Thanks and yes I know i can go to the emergency room, but that's kinda out of the question right now. So i would really appreciate any home remedies any one can offer.

I'm a writer working on a book to help people who are dealing with chronic illnesses (an illness that you have for a long period of time and that is debilitating to such a degree that it has changed your lifestyle).

If you'd like to give me more data that I can use as research for this book, I have an online survey at http://www.quia.com/sv/86904.html... that I'd appreciate people taking as well as responding to this question.

I want to write a book, from a Christian perspective, that meets the needs of those with chronic illnesses. I myself have had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for 6 years, my mother just had a mild stroke and my father has been going through chemo for cancer. I see a great need for such a book out there and I'd like to be the one to provide it. The more information I get from people who struggle with these kinds of illnesses, the more I can tailor my book to their needs.

Thank you. (Yes, I posted this once before, but am trying it again to get more responses.)

They can be popped and have puss in them. They keep coming back no matter what i do. If left alone they get bigger and the doctors dont know what is causing them or what they are.

I had lyme disease, a very bad case of lyme disease almost 15 years ago while I was in high school. I had been misdiagnosed for several months, until I was finally treated with IV antibiotics, two different courses over a year in duration total.

I had not had any symtoms I would have attributed to lyme in years, but recently, my joints are really sore and swollen. I am only in my early thirties, and I dont think that this is a normal symptom of aging at this point.

Can lymes lay dormant in the body that long with no symtoms and then return?

If doctors can rid diabetics of their diabetes by implanting islet cells into the liver of diabetics, then why can't my own cells be harvested, cloned, regenerated and then implanted into my body to rid myself of the diabetes? If this can be done, why don't I see any evidence of it?

I had posterior spinal fusion surgery in December 1996- My question is I've always wanted to have a motorcycle but have been a bit nervous about getting on. I went for a ride with my uncle on his bike and liked it- so my question is would it be wrong for me to eventually get a motorcycle and a motorcycle license as long as I stay in town......I have 2 rods in my back, and the Dr. said before that I shouldn't....but I REALLY REALLY want to and don't want to just be labeled the rest of my life as not being able to ride a bike. Thanks for any comments- suggestions . . . Keep in mind- I've wanted a motorcycle since like grade school.

I started using Nivea body cream three weeks ago and after a week of using it, I developed a small bump on my stomach. I saw my dermatologist and he said it's eczema. Now it's spreading and I look like I'm covered in mosquito bites. Could the lotion have triggered the eczema? I've never been sensitive to anything like that and I don't have any allergies.

I still have some pretty wild palpitations, so I havent had an alcoholic beverage for over a year. Not a big deal, but occasionally, friends would like for me to go out on the town with them. Will it make my palpitations worse?
I had the ablation because of AV node re-entry.
