Diseases & Conditions - 5 September 2006

Recently I have had slight shaking problems in my hands. The other night, it was hard for me to write. Also, my legs tend to shake uncontrollably on occasion, especially when i am sitting down. Sometimes i will get 'the chills' where I will randomly have a moment where my entire upper body shakes, but then stops. Also, it's almost like I have a heartbeat in my stomach. I put an object on my stomach and it moves in a rythm similair to that of my heart beat. you can see my stomach 'beating'. Is this normal? Do you have any idea what is wrong? I am under 20 years old.

For about two months now, I've had muscle twitches in various muscles throughout my body. They are most frequent in my arms, legs, and eyelid. I also have been experiencing some minor tingling. I have not experienced any cramping or weakness.

I just had what I thought was a cyst removed. And it was tested and came back ( dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans) a cancerous tumor. Now they want to go in a second time and make sure that they got it all. I am so scared to go in a second time. But if I don't there is a really good chance it could come back, but then again it may not. I just want some opinions or if someone else out there has been through this please write. AND also aren't they supposed to do a biopsy before going in, so they know what they are messing with.

I have been dealing with this for about 6 years. It seems to be getting worse. I am only 29 and I feel horrible. I was told I had Lupus in my early 20s but now they are saying Fibromyalgia. My mom passed away in January at age 46 with an autoimmune disease. She was diagnosed as having Lupus in her early 20s also, but the last year she was alive they decided it was not Lupus. She had same symptoms as me but the later part they were worse. She remained active(Ballroom dance lessons, golf) She pushed herself hard to be active and not give in to the disease. She woke up one day and thought she had bronchitis. Tgree days later on oxyegen and died a little over a year later on high dosages of oxygen. They said that whatever autoimmune disease she had attacked her lungs. The doctors told me that I should not worry about the same thing happening to me. All I know is it is not normal to feel this way. Pain and faigue is bad right now. Any suggestions. I am so frustrad. HELP

On Monday morning I woke up with a slight rash on my stomache, arms, and legs. I've never had a rash before, but I figured it was going to go away so I didn't do anything. Today when I woke up, the rash had spread. It is on my back, back of my hands, arms, really bad at my elbows and knees, but still not on my face. There are a couple of little red speckles on my cheeks, but it's not noticable.

My stomache is slightly itchy, but I' trying not to scrach it. My neck is also itchy, but the rest of my body is kind of tingly I guess. I have an apointment tomorrow with my university doctor, but does anyone know what this could be?

I haven't washed my sheets in anything new or used different body wash. I did eat a hazel nut and some pecans the day before the rash appeared, but in the past I could eat pecans.

PLEASE HELP! THANKS!

I had laparoscopic gallbladder surgery this past Friday, 9/01/06. After the surgery the surgeon talked to my husband and told him my gallbladder was in bad shape and had probably been bad for a while and had just started giving me trouble. He also told him there was a complication. He had a hard time getting the gallbladder out and had to cut it out instead of the normal scraping it out..he said he accidently cut a blood vessel and I bled alot during surgery. I haven't been able to talk to the dr who did this yet but was wondering if anyone has had this experience or knows of someone who has?? Should I be worried? I have had so much pain, if my pain meds wear off at all I'm hurting pretty bad. When I started coming to in recovery I was hurting so bad I though I had woke up during surgery..but had been out of surgery for a cpl of hrs. I was begging for pain meds. the nurse said she couldn't give me anymore she had already given me 3 shots of demoral and a percocet pill. normal?

I have many of the symptoms, joint pain, unable to stand cold, headaches. The doctor says that all of my thyroid levels are normal, including my t4, so no treatment is necessary. My thyroidglobulin level was 346. That is what caused my diagnosis. She said that my tyroid will be fine.I feel tired all the time. I walk and eat right. Does anyone have a further suggestions as to how I might treat this from home or with natural remedies since I require no thyroid at this time.

is it type 1 or 2? i have been diabetic i believe since i was a kid, (but no one took me to the doc because my dad is a cheap bastard) like when i would check my sugar as a kid it was 174. i keep my diabetes under fairly good control now, i have bad circulation but my sugar numbers are okay when i eat right. the doc says that my body will eventually just stop making insulin, (my mom's already has and she's almost 50) and that it will just progress w/ age and i can't reverse it. so. any ideas? is he full o' bull?
