I've heard/read many articles on how coffee/caffeine is beneficial in the alleviation of mild to moderate asthma symptoms.

I'm wondering if decaf would have any benefits as well?

Being that decaf isn't 100% caffeine free, and that coffee contains other chemicals aside from caffeine that can also be thought of as having mild stimulative effects.

Also I have anxiety/panic disorder, and I have to try to avoid caffeine at all costs.

Thanks.

Out of nowhere, I noticed that when I walk, the a part of the ball of my right foot hurts. Kind of a pressure/sore sensation, like I have a lump or something I'm stepping on. I felt the area, but it feels no different from my left foot. I didn't bang it on anything (that I know of)

I don't want to have cancer! I want to keep both my feet, I don't know what to do! I don't know if this calls for a doctor visit, but what are the odds that it's a tumor? I can't sleep at night, this has been going on for a few days, *please* help??

Locally in my area or nationally. I'm not looking for random tests or procedures to participate in but specific ones I might benefit from, like Acne treatment.

I believe that I'm having an outbreak, but I'm not sure. I was diagnosed last April and my PCP told me I didn't need a daily does of Valtrex, to only use it when during an outbreak. I recently lost my health ins. through my father, and he doesn't know about the meds or my condition. The meds are very expensive, so would it be alright if I just stuck it out and hoped the outbreak went away on its own? Or should I bite the bullet and buy the pills?

My Mom has a malignant spot on her lung.She hasn't smoked for nearly 15yrs./no one else smokes around her.She's had x-rays since for colds in the past.They found it after she had pneaumonia a month ago. Her oncologist put her on a med.(oral)that is for breast cancer/side affects include lung damage.I had to force her to get a 2nd. opinion.Should't her dr. have told her to get a 2nd. opinion?He obviously doesn't have the market cornered on curing cancer.Aren't 2 heads better than 1 when it comes to fighting for your life? If they hadn't seen it in the past & only it found now,was it there all along,just undetectable(too small)?If so,that means it's grown,right?This spot couldn't just pop up at the size it is(1/2 dollar)now,can it?If it's grown,why would he put her on a pill.what would this pill do for her & why would he tell her to come back in 2mons.?Won't it grow more in that time?My parents are in their 70's.They still believe dr.s are like they were in the old days.

My 4 year old son is only here every other weekend and since the beggining of the year he seems to be sick runny nose or cough every time. This past weekend he was fine all day long ,out running ,playing ,jumping on the trampoline. But in the evening usually arround dinner time when they start to relax and unwind for bed he starts cough violently. I tried cough expectorant's and 3 hours later he stil can't sleep because the coughing wont stop. I even tried benadryl thinking he may have an allergy, thta just seemed to help him sleep a bit better but he still coughed. He has been to the doctor 3 times this year for colds that didn't go away and they haven't seemed to be able to help him. Should I be looking at this from another view...maybe an allergy or even asthma? He has only ever had one bad cold that turned into bronchitis when he was 2. It seems to have happened all at once Since the end of the winter. I'm divorced and getting my ex to accept someting is wrong is difficult!

I have tried all sorts of sun blocks, creams, etc, none helps much. have been told it is something to do with pores not closing quickly enough after sweating, and antihistmine tablets help. Do they ? and do you need a G Ps prescription ?

I just found I have them and I know at this point I have given them to my girlfriend, so the damage is done. I didnt know before or I would have done something about it. My question now is, can anything good come from me telling her I just found out I have them or can I just wait till she finds out like I did and then talk it over. As it is I think I have had them for sometime without ANY symptoms.

Bummer. I am afraid if I bring it up it may just ruin out relationship and she wont be able to forgive me.

My father's stomach cancer has metastasized into his brain, and all over his abdomen. Doctor had sent him home telling us there is not much they can do at this point, and they will admit him to hospice care when he started to feel pain. He feels some pain, but not bad now. How do we know to admit him to the hospice care? What should we watch out for?
