Hi, I have severe eczema on my hands and I cannot get in to see my dermatologist. I have the strongest steroids known to man and I am completely unresponsive to all of them (i.e. betamethasone, clobetasol, etc.). It's to the point where it's not even itchy any more, just painful, stinging, sore, throbbing, burning, and BLEEDING. I look down at my hands and just from bending my fingers I have bubbles of blood pooling everywhere. Right now I put Eucerin Plus on my hands (slathered them in it) and then put rubber gloves on, just because I cannot bear to wash my hands again. Whenever I get something on my hands that requires washing, I just wash the outside of the gloves instead. Is that okay to do? Will it somehow "trap" the eczema in there and make it worse or suffocate my skin when it should be airing out?
Also, can food allergies cause eczema? I've recently found that certain foods make my lips purple and swollen, and I think that coincides with when the eczema flares up! Thnx!

Hello, I have been having leg problems. My legs keep giving out and are always tired. I am walking sometimes and my leg kinda snaps backwords and i fall down. I walk like a penguin now and I can't run fast. I can't get up sometimes because my legs are so tired, almost like they are paralyzed. Anybody know what is wrong with me?

Also, usually after I eat, all of a sudden my head will start pounding and I will fall to the ground and sometimes I get knocked out. I will start breathing hard and everything seems to be going in slow motion, my eyes go out and I can barely see and blood seems like it rushes to my brain. What is wrong with me?

Thank you ahead of time.

Hi, I have a double ureter in my left kidney causing me infection 4 times a year, I've been having this for almost 13 years and is painful and I can't have a normal life. No insurance wants to take me because this pre existing condition and if they do my monthly payment is between $300 to $400 monthly because of my condition, I've already applied for Medi-cal and I wasnt elegible. I tried so many antibiotics and I want to start a treatment and without insurance it is impossible, could anybody tell me if there is a insurance that will accept me without paying so much. I live in Southern California. I want a normal life.
Thanks.

My dad was just diagnosed with diabetes type 2. It took all we had to convince him just to take the medication prescribed, so I would like to get as much information and recipes sent to him by mail, since he doesn't use email.

My level is .67 ( Dr. said norm is .7 - 1.48) but my TSH is 6.94. All women in my family older than me, take synthroid, and a couple who are younger ( I am 38). .67 is not very far from .70, but the family history says I should take it.
Thank you

Does nasal irrigation work to help prevent sinus headaches and other allergy symptoms? I have found good instructions on performing it, but frankly, I am little bit nervous about putting liquid down the back of my throat until I know how effective it is.
