I'm worried! I was singing a few minutes ago and noticed that I can't hit notes in my usual range... instead I make a noise rather like a dying cat. Also, my throat is very sore. Could it be laryngitus? I was at theme parks for the past two days, riding a lot of roller coasters and screaming... could that have led to this?

i eat a lot of ice cubes and people have told me that i have pagophagia, which is the compulsive consumption of ice. i was also told that it could be caused by iron deficiency or diabetes. im would like to know if ice cravings are ALWAYS linked to a health problem. is it possible for healthy people to crave ice for no reason or is there usually something wrong?

Just want to hear from anyone who has had surgery that can tell me the feeling right when your going out, can you describe it? I am super nervous to get surgery and have been put under anesthesia once before when I was 6 years old, and I remember it feeling like your fading away, very scary. Help!

U know usually it would only leave a tiny pin prick, it left a tiny prick , nothing big, but there is a white spot around it about as big as a nickle. A little whiter than her complexion.

Why is it that when I get a cold sore in my mouth a few days later one or two other cold sores will appear in the same immediate area of my mouth? Could it be that when I brush my teeth and brush my cold sore I'm spreading the virus around to my mouth?

Also, should there be any concern if two bouts of cold sores appear only weeks apart? which seems a little soon.

For the past 3 weeks or so I've had a red rash on the bend in my elbow on the inside of my arm. I woke up one morning and there were a few bumps that appeared to be poison ivy or something. I shrugged it off because I'm always getting odd rashes. The bumps never itched and within a day or so faded into a muted red rash. They were no longer individual bumps but more of an entire raised area with faint individual bumps. Since then the rash has SLOWLY spread from about 1/2 inch on one side of the crease of my elbow to about 2 inches spanning both sides of the crease. It still does not itch and is definitely not spreading at a fast rate. It is not weeping, not painful, or have any type of open sore. I went to the doctor and she didn't know what it was. She gave me an anti-fungal steriod cream that didn't help and an antibacterial ointment used to treat impetigo and it has not helped. Before I go back, does anyone have any ideas what this could be? I've looked online for hours with no luck.

I have quite an extensive history of anxiety/panic disorder headlining with hypochondria. When I was 16 I started having heart palpitations and had an ECG for 24-hours with all tests positive. Years later, after my freshman year of college, I had symptoms that I THOUGHT resembled diabetis, but, again, inconclusive. Now, for the last month or so, I have been getting light-heading during bowel movements. I am not sure if this is in my head again or not. It is coinciding with my lack of sleep from a hectec work schedule, so I'm eithar thinking that it is my body reacting oddly to lack of sleep(unlikely), or my body's reaction to excessive stress and anxiety(most likely). If anyone has an opinion that would be great.

Please let me know what to do.

Is it an STD if you have little "bumps" on the underside of your penis? It appears that they are also around each hair, so could it just be hair follicles? The bumps are also located on the scrotum. Thanks for the help.

I have always had frequent bowel movements (2 or 3 a day), but for the last 3 to 4 weeks I feel like I never have to go, when I do try to go only a little bit comes out and it is soft, not diarhea but soft and actually pretty healthy looking, it is frustrating because I can not pass a firm stool like I used to, there is no visible blood and I have no pain, my doctor has ordered a Barium enima and this procedure really scares me, (is it painful?) I can deal with discomfort or embarresment but planned pain is not for me, to make matters worse I have dealt with anxiety for years and I now have myself convinced I could have colon cancer, I've done research and these are common symptoms of colon cancer, I am 37, could someone please help and educate me with any other less serious condition that infrequent soft stools of small amounts could relate to? and is a barium enima the way to go? please help!

Which would you believe he had? A guy told me that, but I won't take the risk with him. I think he has herpes.
