But my doctor is leaning more to there being blockage in my stomach. Has anyone had their gallbladders out without any gallstone showing on an ultrasound or CAT Scan?

I am 21 years and have hepatitis c, we assume I got it at some point in my life from my mother who also has it. I know of people with the virus but they are all at least 20 years older than me and would like to meet someone my age to talk about it with. Also, does anyone know what foods I should eat to help support my liver?

Im wondering if I might be hypoglycemic or in the early stages of becoming diabetic...

My dad is diabetic and says that I should watch out for low blood sugar episodes where my hands shake, or i feel lightheaded or get a headache.....because those are early signs of diabetes.

When I dont eat a breakfast with a lot of protein I seem to crash really hard get shaky hands, headaches, and light headed.

But my bfs mom (who is a nurse) asked me if I was hypoglycemic when she saw this.... so Im wondering if thats possible?

Anyone who is hypoglycemic or diabetic have any thoughts?

A friend of mine has had a very large swelling in the right side of her neck for almost a year. Yesterday, she saw a doctor, and he said it had to be removed immediately. What could be causing this? She is scheduled for a CT scan later this week, but I am very worried. Could it be cancer?

I shook hands with a person who has scabies before I knew they had it on their other hand. I was wondering how do I take precautions to prevent the worsening of the disease on me. I shook their hand today so I guess u can say that the physical contact was today. Help, I'm gettin' all panicky! I dont want to infect my family and dogs at home. What can I do to prevent the burrowing and other things that occur when you get scabies. Also, I have not started itching yet. I knw itching occurs a few weeks later. Please help, Thanks!
