Dear Doctor,

In !986 I have undergone a massive eye treatment at sankara Netralaya, Chennai, and then at Aditya Jyot When at Dadar, Mumbai, that includes, Angiography and LASER treatmentaaand by the grace of god could save vision of at least my right eye with the effort of Dr. Badrinath and Dr, Natarajan.

I am 53 Yr. old, Bank officer with High Blood pressure. The Present condition of my vision is that I can see with my left eye with band formed by blood clots in my vitreous fluid, it may be called a filtered vision, and my right eye has no vision due to total retinal detachment,With my existing vision I can continue to work in my office although with obstructed vision due to vitreous band.

Now a days I hear about retinal replacement surgery, Is it possible in my case Which is more than 25 five yealr old
Kindly enlighten me.

Did you have an x-ray after your leg was set into a cast? If so, when? I was told 1 week was standard to insure the bone is still set correctly and the angles are correct etc. My daughter broke her femur and never had a post op x ray until 4 weeks later! Now we discovered that her bone has healed in the worst position and she is now having to face a new surgery to re-break and start over! She is only 2 yrs old!!! She will now require hardware in her legs and the surgery has many risks for a child her age. I am so confused, how did it come to this? This should have been a very routine proceedure and if done correctly, she would be getting it off this week. I am heartbroken.

I have really shakey hands, I can't hold them steady, and I don't drink any kind of caffiene. My brother says it's early signs of Parkinson's disease, but my dad says it's caused by stress, but I don't feel stressed. What do you think it is and how can I cure it?

For the last 7 years, I have had this ball of mucus sitting in my sinuses which cause me a headache and virtually no ability to breathe through my nose.

It is worst in the winter and during rainy weather.

Due to the congestion I breathe through my mouth when sleeping, which wakes me up several times each night, which results in me never getting a good night's sleep.

When I use nasal sprays, even Nasonex, my problem is lessened (although it is still there). When the medicine wears off, the problem is twice as worse, resulting in a severely runny nose, sinus headache and *totally* congested nasal passages.

I am at my wit's end and feel like I should take a drill and put a hole in my head and stick a tube into the offending sinus cavity and suck the damn mucus out. Obviously, I am exagerating, but it is making me lose my mind.

What can I do?

I don't have pets, I don't smoke and taking a hot shower/bath does nothing. This exists year-round and I live in a temperate climate.

Hi. I have some sort of disorder in my body. Whenever I eat breakfast when I wake up, I would always poo at school at around 10:00am or before/after lunch. Thats why today I don't eat breakfast at home, only at recess at school. Its really hard to poo in school because you would get embarrassed by your friends if they saw you going into the toilet and shutting the door. But I kinda miss eating when I wake up :( pls help whats wrong with me?

3) Systematic abuse in 3 different residential schools
4) Systematic and severe sleep deprivation

6) Several heart attacks
7) Sereve and relentless legal battles with a woman I know
8) Problems with my safety systematically
and miscallanous other issues

I have grey hairs in facial hair, pubic hair and other parts may be possible.
I get a body temperature reading down to as low 34.5*C (94.1*F) when I sleep. (about 0.7*C l(1.5*F) lower each year because I am still restisting problems). People call me lazy because I tackle a lot of them sitting at a computer.
I get periods of weakness and exhausted feeling type laboured breathing.

What is my medical condition called?
