I am a type 2 diabetic who has just started using meds (15mg Actos daily) after many years of being diagnosed. Is it possible to ever get off of meds, if you lose weight and exercise? I've lost quite a bit of weight over the years, but still have some to go before I get to my goal weight. Serious answers only, please. Thanks!

I am 55 and have been under treatment for an erratic heartbeat since I was in my late 20's. However, the treatment I'm presently receiving - 320 mg. of Inderal per day plus 1.5 mg of Xanax - is only partially effective. I am wondering if there might be a more effective treatment available to me. The condition doesn't bother me much when I am resting or relaxed. Though it seems to be triggered mostly by my emotions, I have noticed that more and more it flares up under physical strain as well. I seriously doubt if I could endure a stress test simply because the fear of such a test would probably trigger an episode before they could even start it. I've never had any chest pains or any other symptoms of heart disease. I am also being treated for mildly high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol and an anxiety disorder. What bothers me most is the degree to which I am affected psychologically by all this. It puts a crimp in my lifestyle and keeps me from doing things that I might ......

I have been to 2 dr and no answers why my right foot swells and the skin before my toes looks wrinkled. The only answer they gave me was to take water pills and avoid salt. I understand that reasoning but why would it happen on only one foot?? One dr said it happens to women in their 30's....any ideas especially from woman in their 30's?

she was rushed into hospital with a burst ulcer, when they operated they found a vicious cancerous stomach and had to cut the whole thing out, she survived only four weeks. Why didn't the camera investigation pick up anything? I realise that even if it had, it wouldn't have made much difference to the outcome but even so I find it quite disturbing!

I am scared because I hardly ever eat. I usually skip lunch and breakfast because my body just won't let me eat. How can I be sure? I really hope I don't. I want to stop it before it gets serious.
