Diseases & Conditions - 10 October 2006

We have recently found that this runs in our family. Close and extended. I had the test and I am a carrier. Can anyone tell me what this means. Can I develop it. My both parents have tested negative for it, so it skipped a generation. My 2nd cousins suffer badly from it having to have blood taken. I am not able to take iron supplements. Even during my pregnancy the supplements even in low doses made me ill. Would this be because I am a carrier? And what are the chances of my children getting it. Will they have it or be carriers? Thanks

I have a very sweet friend who is 18 yrs old. Since last 3 months, there is some problem with her blood. According to doctors her body is not generating enough platelets to survive. According to last weeks report her body has just 20,000 platelets and doctor said a healthy human body should have around 2,30,000 platelets. I don't know much about medical but this thing seems really dangerous.

I don't want to loose my friends, please let me know the best way so that she could get in to best situation possible. In general, she is normal, i mean she eats well, loooks healthy... but i m worried.

We are in India, plz suggest me some good medicine... I beg you, i really don't want to loose a precious friend like her...

Plz help me, tell me the good way in general how her body can start generating enough blood platelets to live. We are ready to spend whatever money for good treatement.

Mail me at mohitmadaan@gmail.com

Thank you in advance.

My BF is an alcoholic. He admits to it. The good part (if you can call it that) he always drinks at home, NEVER drives, holds a good job, is an excellent employee and is the sweetest man ever when he's sober.
The bad part is having to watch him self destruct, ruin his health, we can never go anywhere at night because he is drunk and sometimes when he's drunk he starts fights that turn into MAJOR battles.
I know that it's the alcohol that makes him act this way, but at times I really can't deal with it.

I know they have groups for alocoholics, but does anyone know of a group to help me deal with an alcoholic BF?

Are all brain tumors cancerous? if not, is it more likely to be cancerous or non-cancerous? I am sure that it is not the most likely situation to be a brain tumor, but lately i have had strange symptoms. first, i have had this sensation in my ear, like a pumping or heartbeat vibration. also, i have had headaches, but they are not very painful. also, i have had a tingling sensation in my head every so often, and the same in my right leg. i have also felt sort of dizzy, and when i sit in a chair i feel like i am going to tip over. lastly, i sometimes have this thing where i start to fall asleep but i know im still awake, and then, in the sort of half-dream, i start to faint and i feel like everything is spinning, then when i wake up it still feels like im spinning for a few seconds. i have also had a lot of muscle twitching throughout the day and in my sleep. i just need some responses to this

I guess what I am trying to ask is If someone has melanoma, does that mean it may not be cancerous???? or does it have to be malignant in order for the melanoma to be cancerous?

Over the weekend I was attacked by mosquitos, can someone PLEASE tell me what I can put on these bites to stop the itching and make them go away. The worst part about it was that I used OFF to keep them away, apparently that doesn't work. Someone help me!

I literally use the Neutrogena Clear Pore face mask/cleanser twice a day...once in the morning and once overnight. It has 3.5% (not 2.5%) benzoyl peroxide as the active ingredient. Yet, when I wake up, I usually see new pimples form right underneath the face mask after I've washed/rinsed it off. What's going on?

Diagnosed with MS 13 yr. ago. Nearly blind now, permanent numbness in left arm. I saw a podiatrist for swelling (egg size) on top of foot, x-rays show joints have fused in that area and by big toe. Right foot is fine, right side of body is fine. Unsure of whether I should continue with podiatrist.
