Last night I was over my friends house and all of the sudden one of her neighbors called frantically and we didn't know what was happening. When we got to the house her neighbor was being choked by her boyfriend. Had no idea what was going on. Then all of the sudden she was like, check his sugar. When he "came out" of whatever he was in he checked it only to find that it was I believe 52. They said that he should be kept at 130 due to his meds. Was this related to his condition or is this being used as an excuss? Me personally, my mother is diabetic and my pap has been for 30yr and never has seen what I saw last night. Please let me know.

Thanks!

I was wondering if there are any diseases or disorders that cause your blood to be thick & sticky.. My blood is very gooey and my hair has also been falling out more than usual. I'm only 24- I'm worried there may be an underlying disease or something wrong with me. I don't have medical insurance so i can't go get checked out. What could cause thick blood? I got a cut the other day and my blood was soo sticky that my fingers felt glued together when it started to dry, and also when it drips the drips kind of become long strings of slimey blood, like it hardens to a gak-type substance (remember the gak slime stuff you buy at the toy store?). I'm just a little worried...

Only happened twice so far but throat feels like it totally closes. It feels like something almost triggers it. Felt like a piece of dust the one time and the last time 2 years ago, it happened AFTER I ate some chips then coughed. Feeling of no air coming in at all lasts for like 20 seconds then gradually comes back. Ever since that one time throat feels sensitive. Scary as hell. Gonna go to a ear, nose and throat doctor VERY soon.

3 month old two hospitalizations from UTI and Rotavirus (vaccine caused), fever 99.6 to 101., loss of appettie, lethargic, no cold symptoms or rash. WBC within normal limits. How do you test for immune deficiency? Kidney reflux, not teething, spastic colon, can only have Alimentum formula. Doctor is seeking answers and so am I. Where else can I look? Can esphogas diseases cause low temps?

He was diagnosed at the age of 3. He does struggle in school, especially during regular ed. classes. Refusing to listen and do what he is told are the main issues.

A friend of mine was given HSV2 from a now ex bf without being prior warned about the std. Evidently she is not the only girl he has done it too. Isnt there some sort of legal action that can be taken for pretty much ruining her sexual life for the rest of her life?

My father has anerusym which we incidentally found, no symptoms.Angiogram was done and it is found that aneurysm is in the blood vessel that supplies blood to brain.He is 71yrs.Docs feel that at his age and considering the location of aneurysm, surgery or grafting is not recommended.The size of aneurysm is 4.7cm.Advice of docs is to keep the bloodpressure under control,quit smoking ( he has been a smoker for a very long tome) and get the CT scan done periodically to see if there is growth.They are not ruling out the risk in not doing the surgery,but they feel that at this time surgery might be more risky.

I am worried that the aneurysm might rupture and from what I've read ruptured aneurysm is potentially fatal. So I feel surgery is better.

Any advice ?
