Whenever I stand up the right hand side of my body feels weak. It only last a few seconds but I feel very weak down the right hand side. My vision has become more blurred recently and these attacks were once occasional but are now happening everytime I stand up and I am starting to feel unsteady.

Is there a correlation between skin cancer and exposure to ionizing radiation in WWII? I am talking about exposure to the radiation in Nagasaki approximately 2 - 3 weeks after the bomb was dropped.

I elected to have a tram flap breast reconstruction after mastectomy and chemo. Now, six years later I am still paying a very dear price for this decision. I have spoken with other t.f. patients and all are having the same health problems. If you elect to have this procedure you may expect to have the following:1.Hernia (during the surgery , your abdominal muscles will be removed and shoved aside to make a tunnel for the fatty tissue that they will force out thru the hole where your breast was. Without those muscles your internal organs will eventually protrude outward. God put this barrier there for this very reason.) 2. Pain (your back will take on the added strain of not having muscles) 3. Numbness(your whole stomach will feel like youv'e had a shot of novocaine for the rest of your life!!) 4. More surgeries to correct all of this . But nothing will ever help . The damage will already be done. Please consider implants or.......nothing!! I wish I had. Good luck to all of you

Just curious if anyone here does this. It's a very large global community that uses the spare power of their computers to help find cures for cancer, alzheimers, parkinsons, etc. It is done through Stanford University. Personaly I think it's a worthwhile cause.

Hello

I went to the doctor a few days ago, with what I thought was symptoms of a UTI. After taking tests they came back negative, but my doctor told me if I have any more problems he would send me to a kidney doctor. I have pains in the protsate once in awhile, and sometimes I have the strong urge to pee, and its the think white thing.

I've been with the same women for three years, and a few months before my pain started she was having pains in her lower back on the left side. I think that is where they said is a sign of kidney infection? She also has pain around her ovaries alot. These pains have been going on awhile now, but they were very rare, so we thought it was just period pain. Now they have increased, and it's become a daily thing. She is going to the doctor tommorow, and I was wondering what we should ask him?

What could this be please? Is this a UTI, STD, or some kind of other infection? Is there some other signs we should be looking for that we didn't? Thank you

I had one today. It's food debris and stuff that get lodged in your tonsils. Is there anyway to see your tonsils and clean them with a waterpik or something at home?

Can my fiance sue a hospital for getting MRSA when she had a C- section there. I did some research via internet that says she could die, she could fall ill, and other really bad stuff. I don't know why the hospital wouldn't be responsible.
