I am a thirty year old woman, you may recognise me from writing about my daughter who had lung cancer. Now I'e got a serious heart disease and I'm scared the same thing will happen to me. I know you're probably thinking I'm a whimp but it's really worrying me. I'm scared I'm going to die. Help me.

My 5 hr gluscose testing showed high results. 318 after 1 hour. My primary care doc stinks. It was my eye doc that took the right test. I would change docs' in a heartbeat but I am disabled and on medicaid. Everyone hates medicaid. I can't same I blame them but then I fall between the cracks. What am I to do? Homeopathic self care. I am loaded with meds from the ER that upset my stomach. Why should I keep taking pain meds before this blood sugar roller coaster is addressed? Healthcare where I live is the worst I have ever seen. My daughter of 23 died almost four years ago here. She was misdiagnosed. No, I didn't sue. No money would ever cure my heart. It will be broken forever. My two grand children need me and that is why I am reaching out for help. I have had Epstein barr titer flag for 4 years, and high sugar levels that drop to moderately low levels. My pain in the l leg has gotton so bad I can only use it for half a day without an aid. I stopped all meds. My stomach loves me.

I'm 14 years old. I got pneumonia last year while i was dating this one girl. Then I started dating this other girl who turned out to be slutty and stuff but she didnt have sex until after we broke up. I dont know if she has HIV or anything, but i kissed her on the lips when we were going out. I got mono while i was going out with her and i've read that mono could be a symptom of hiv. i know it is very rare to get it through french kissing, let alone a peck on the lips.

I am a 21 year old man and never had this problem until I started dating this 24 year old lady named Betty about 6 months ago. I met her in a bar and slept with her in her in the parking lot that night. Now for the last 3 months my private member has swollen, turned red, became sore to the touch and it burns severly when I urinate. Betty is the only person I have had sex with in the last 2 years, ( I was in the Navy for 18 months before I met Betty and did not have sex ). Betty swears she has been tested for std's and has none, she also says she hasn't slept with anyone else but me, but she has been going on a lot of overnight trips with her family members lately. Or at least that is what she tells me, for all
I know she could be off with other men, because I have caught her in lies before and she never wants to talk about her trips when returning home. Could I really have an std? Or do you think I may have a urinary tract infection and just need some antibotics like Betty insists?

I get Cold very often. I have been diagnosed as Allergic to Dust. Kindly advice me as to how to get rid with it? Running nose, mild fever, cough and cold persist due to this(almost all round the year). I am worried if it becomes pernicious with time and tranforming to severe diseases like Asthama etc. Suggest on some precautionary measures and advisory steps to root out this problem.

i think that i'''''''m tired of hearing the whites always giving us the statistics of those living with aids in africa,but i'v never heard any stuff about it in europe or america or even asia.when a black is traveling to europe we undergo series of test (hiv etc) to my own view i think the popullation of those living with aids ineurope,america or even asia is at an alarming rate speaking of people sleeping with animals,the rate of divorce cases and the high level of indecency.

Why are simple treatment for Crohn's, I.B.S., ignored ?

Cause is probably a bacterial infection, ( key word parasites) treatment is what people have used for centuries to treat such common infections such as giardia. (By the way it took me 16 years of suffering to be told by a wise doctor that one test to rule out giardia is not enough, and the testing is not very reliable )

Seems my limited research, the common sense approach to 'intestional problems' strongly suggests an infection, easily treated with ( a wide spectrum anti-biotic), anti-parasitic herbs such as ginger, wormwood, grapefruit seed extract, together with fiber and probiotics, ie friendly bacteria to help digest the food.

So why are all these simple treatments being ignored ?

Why are we spending millions, on funding to raise funding for research and then spending billions to find a 'pharmaceutical cure', when the obvious simple cause and effects are being ignored...?

(This is actually a serious question.) I have about a dozen or so of these bright red bumps that are insanely itchy!! They look almost like bug bites but if I go to scratch them, they burn. I've tried, hydrocortisone cream, antihistamines, homeopaths, peppermint oil, lotions...NOTHING seems to work.

Oh, if it matters any, they are located underneath, and in between my boobs. Wearing a bra is MISERABLE. This has been going on for 4 LOOOONNNNGG days.

Thanks for your help!!

I've felt crummy for the past 8 years or so. I'm 23 and in the last year have gained about 40 lbs - no change in diet or routine. I'm always tired-sometimes downright exhousted, always feel slightly nauseated, thirsty, lately I've had to pee alot more than I used to, I get flash headaches (gone within 30 seconds) and have heartburn about every other day, to a point I have to pop a couple tums which is losing its effect. My dad is a type II diabetic controlled by pills.

I've gone to the doctore several times because of the way I feel thinking maybe I have mono or something and they always just tell me to take vitamins and excercise. I'm exercising at least every other day now but no change yet.

Should I wait a few more months and see if I begin to feel better?

I feel stupid asking this on Yahoo! Answers but my parents think I'm a hypocondriac (from always trying to figure out why I feel like crap) and I hate going to the doctor...

Ugh, help??
