Are there any on the market that allow one to measure and record glucose levels, but also allow me to enter in foods (or carbs) I have eaten, along with exercise I have completed? Can you recommend a brand name....Many thanks

My dad was diagnosed with lymphoma about a year ago. Sometimes I cry about it, thinking about the worst that could happen. He is only 53, and I am a teenager. Is that bad to cry about it beacause I'm think about the worst that could happen to him?

When I was pregnant, I was hospitalized on two seperate occasions for what I believe to be kidney stones. I strained my urine, but didn't notice passing any. The doctors were only able to give me an ultrasound due to my pregnancy, but they said none were visible. The pain was worse than child birth. I have had one reoccurance since the pregnancy, unfortunately I was overseas at the time and couldn't seek medical attention. I am worried that there is something wrong with me and I am scared to have another reoccurance. The pain is the most intense pain I've ever had in my entire life. Please let me know if you think this could be an enlarged kidney stone or if you know of any other illnesses that would produce this much pain in my lower back,side, and groin.

Suffering from symptomatic bradycardia ( dizziness, heart palpitations ). I have been suffering from this for the past 10 months. ECG, and Echo have not revealed any diagnosis. Worried that it could be due to coranary artery diesease. Heart rate gets down to 37bpm. The cardiologist have reffered me to neurology. I tend to believe this is a cardio problem considering the evidence. The heart palpitations make sleeping almost immpossiable due to the unpleasent pounding i feel. It seems by the research I have done, that most causes are benign, with the exception of cad. If anyone could answer this question it would be greatly appreciated.

Recently I saw a bump on my bikini area, very close to my vagina lips. It doesn't hurt at all. I tried popping it and it came out blood and not clear. I went to the GYN before I saw the tiny bump and she said I was fine (no herpes or HPV). So I dunno what it is? Am I shaving too much? I tend to shave every few days (having hair down there makes me itch). Hmm what is it? I rarely let anyone perform oral sex on me down there and always used protection.
