I have been going to doctor's for years about very severe pain I have and for years they have been treating me like I'm crazy. Recently someone suggested that I might have fibromyalgia. I looked up all the information I could find on it and am convinced that this is what is wrong with me. I went to a doctor and told her my opinion and she said oh, no...it's syatica (this is like the 10th DIFF diagnosis I have received from different doctors for the same pain). It is NOT syatica. I am at the end of my rope and don't know what to do to get the doctor's to listen to me but I'm sick of being treated as crazy and being dismissed...Any suggestions?

I just spent a week in the hospital and was just diagnosed with it. I immediately had surgery where they removed half of my colon and a foot of small intestine. They said I have had it for years, but no one has caught it. My question is, am I going to lose a ton of weight? Because I really can't seem too eat much.

It looks like tiny ant bites, too small to be chicken pox. It's not to itchy. If I had to put it on a itch scale of 1 through 10, it would be a 3. It's mostly on my triceps. What is it?

Or is getting migranes constantly just nothing to worry about? Is it possible that migranes could be a sign of a big health issue?

A person who has allergies vs. a person who doesn't. Which one has a stronger immune system?? In A&P class, my instructor said, "allergies is when the bodies immune system detects something in the body that it doesn't like and fights it off (like airborn fungus),and thats what makes you feel sick". So, does this mean the person with allergies really has a stronger immune system???

I was born with Hirschprung's Disease. I want to start a web page about my experiences, for I am 30 years old now. I have so much information to share and I want to help. If you know anyone with the disease, I would like any info you or they could give me about their own (or child's) experiences; so that we could help others who need it.
I (and my family) had to go one step at a time. I was the first to have the intestinal pullthrough surgery. (the first to survive with it, as far as I know) They weren't sure it was going to work and decided to try this experimental surgery; there wasn't anything else to do. I have had learn how to control my bowels and deal with all the problems that comes with the disease, by going through it. So, whatever I have learned, I would like to use to help others. Please, if you have any information that you think could be helpful to others, I would love to compile everything I can for my web site.

And if you have any questions, feel free to ask! :)

Everybody knows those little bumps on their skin when they get a mosquito bite, but why does it swell. All i have learned is that the mosquito simply sucks blood from you. Does it inject something in return?

My son was diagnosed with reactive airway disease on Thursday. My husband was the one who took him to the hospital so I didn't get an explanation to what it is. Is it the same as asthma? My son is 23 months.
