A friend of mine and I have been trying to find information on why his mother is experiencing something no doctors around here can pinpoint or tell what's going on. Usually at night while sleeping, although less servere ones have occured during the day and awake, she experiences seizure like activity, even goes through the shaking, and rapid breathing and bites her toungue. (The less severe ones are just her being very forgetful, not being able to tell where she is, etc.) Afterword she has no recollection of it, and does quickly go to a doctor. They run scans and say she isn't having seizures, and don't know what's causing it. It originally occured about twice a year but is now becoming more and more common, about once a month. Can anyone unleash some light or give some advice on how to treat this or tests to do to perhaps unearth something and treat it?

Thanks SO much, it will mean a lot to me, my friend, and ofc ourse, his mother :)

My friend has just found out that she has an allergy to Gluten. I am having a bit of a get together at my house this week and want to provide some nibbles to go with the wine. I don't want to make my friend feel as though I am going to trouble for her but want to make sure that she has something to eat. What can I prepare that we will all be able to eat without it being specifically "gluten free" i.e shop bought gluten free?

I know a person who is in recover for 5 years now. But theres still this stigma "once a drug addict always a drug addict!" Will he ever gai the trust issue from his family or co-workers, which as right now they don't even know that he is one. For fear that they may look at him as a different person. He's afraid of losing his job etc...

Guys, i am really really scared and depressed at the moment

It all started 2 weeks ago, i had a pimple in my nose and i bought this clearasil 10% benzoil peroxide, and umm i used that for 3 days and it still didn't go away so i started picking my nose with my nails, still nothing ...... then 2 days ago some1 told me put toothpaste
I did that, it burned a little but the pimple was still there, and then yesterday, it started vanishing little,
so... i had this detol, liquid antibiotic liquid soap i put that near my nose, and i put some cream on a band-aid and on my nose

left it there for 1 hr, and when i took it off, my whole nose area WAS BROWN !!!!!!

I was very scared, i tocuhed it at night and a little piece peeled off and i realised it wasn't my skin, it was pink. And when i touched it it kinda burned (not that much)

GUYS, should i panic, let the other brown stuff stay there, or peel that off to?

Im soo sad and depressed, and can't go outside because of this !

I have about 300 used insulin needles that I don't know what to do with and I don't know where to throw them away at. I know I can't just throw them in a trash can, so I've bagged them up. But, now what? Where can I take them?

I was shaking a pill out into hy hand and a few came out all at once. I noticed that some had one id number (or whatever) and some had another. Is this normal (mixing types) or did the pharmacy make a mistake?

I need help desperately. My brother in law just got diagnosed with a brain tumor. He will need radiation and chemo etc.
he is the head of household, my sister will have to work, but i am hoping we can get her out of work one way or another so she can stay home and take care of her husband during treatment. In California, how to you apply to long term disability through the state? Doesn't the state give the patient money plus the caregiver? any helpful advice on how to do this would be greatly appreciated.. also how about health insurance for the children ? my BIL is the one with all the benefits, but since he will be able to work (they told him maybe in 3 or 4 months he may go back) but how can we get them all medical ?

thank you!

I have none on the right arm. Is this caused by any medications, age, vitamin deficiency? I would appreciate any answers. Perhaps others have it and could share advice from their doctors. I do not have health insurance and I'm low income. I'm asking for public help because that is the only kind of help I can get. I do not qualify for MediCal. Thank you.

For around 3 weeks now, I haven't been feeling amazing. I have been a bit more tired than usual. I have had some tightness in my chest, well, not so much my chest, but between my breast and my armpit. It is on both sides, but worse on the left side. It is more disturbing when I stretch, or move. But, I don't recall pulling a muscle or anything like that. My shoulder, and armpit, and next to my breast are extremely sore feeling. Sometimes I find my heart feeling like it is skipping a beat. I quit smoking around the time that all this started happening. Actually, these symptoms came on within the first few days of me quitting, and they just haven't gone away. I feel bad most of the day, but generally not all day. I tend to get a couple hours of relief every day. Could this be my heart, or soemthing else?
I know I need to get to a doctor. That is the common sense answer. I won't be insured until next week though. I was looking for some opinions before then.
Thanks all!
