I've never had allergies in my life. Than all of the sudden this morning I have a runny nose (just the right side though!), sneezing, and my sinuses fill like they are clogged. Its strange I can fill like a cold coming on usually and this hit me over night. Do I have allergies? If so why would it hit overnight?? Any ideas? Medications?

When I squeeze pimples, I sometimes sit there and pinch on both sides of the pimple so hard that it bruises. At first it just looks raised and slightly white, but over the next few days it becomes a bruise and then scabs and falls off. This takes maybe a week for the whole process. My question is when I know I've overdone it in the squeezing, how do I prevent bruising? It's really not pleasant walking around with this huge bruise/scab on my face.

I work in a very small firm and a young girl has been using outrageous excuses for being out sick...ovarian cancer (radiation therapy is now causing seizures), bad back aches (now getting cortisone shots...caused from moving one weekend)....among so many others (like death of parents and grandparents). The cancer and seizures just broke the camel's back -- by the way, she was running late a couple of weeks ago and said she had a seizure on the way to work (while driving)....but she came to work -- not disheveled or sickly looking!

We found out that my mom's chemo therapy was not working for her cancer, which came back in other areas of her body (not major organs) and now the doctors are suggesting clinical trials or hormone therapy. Has anyone heard of any results of the hormone therapy for recurring breast cancer? Does it work?

I need to know which shots to get for my son.
I need to make sure that he does not get malaria or any other disease, because he does not have his spleen.

I got worried and took her to the ER they said it was fine and she probably had a virus. I had to take her the next again because she fainted on me again the other doctor said hypoglycemia.Her sugar levels were 62 and it runs in her dads side of the family.They would not give me a glucose meter for her.So she fainted again this time I took her to urgent care peds. that doctor said 62 was'nt low and not to worry.Once again I still did'nt get a glucose monitor.What should I do.She still is getting dizzy,sweaty,and has bad mood swings.

When I wake up in the mornings I feel very tired like I haven't slept at all. It takes me at least 3 hours to feel energized. I used to be a very good morning person but now I just feel like I'm in a daze in the morning. Has anybody else had this same problem? Ideas?

Can someone explain this word. I know ive spelt it wrong. As i think I am one.
I ALWAYS have something wrong with me. At the moment its an ear infection, before it was a toothache (which went as soon as I got the infection), and I guess my next could be something like a cold....
How do i stop being so pathetic and being ill all the time?
