End of March had to take responsibility for 90 year old aunt, lived with us for month. Took care of Uncle's funeral, now am trustee for aunt. During that time, just was running ragged with all duties. First thing I noticed was my breasts just shrunk.. I am not that large to begin with. My clothes were lose, and my arm and leg muscle are not firm anymore. I have lost about 9 pounds since March, eating the same and otherwise feel fine, but getting anxiety worrying about underlying health problems. I am going to doctor next week, but am researching on internet as well. The stress of being trustee is somewhat a worry, but I try not to dwell on it all. I take Crestor and have taken it for three years without problems, so far. I hope this could be due to just worry and stress, and not underlying medical problem. Guess I will have to wait for professional opinion, but would love to hear from other persons with similiar situation.

i am not on any curves on a pediatric growth chart. i am 3rd percentile on everything. i am starting to have problems drinking a specialized nutrition formula and having severe problems with solid food, i cant eat much at all. after i eat just a little i feel "full" i definatly dont enjoy eating and my enjoyment for drinking is diminishing. my weight is at 101 and dropping very slowly. there was a crash in last december to this january before i got on the formula dropped 4 pounds in december from 105 down to 101 dropped another 4 in january down to 97. it was very scary and i still havent recovered fully, i have quadriplegic spasticity and also i have noticed that eating is getting very hard because my gag reflex keeps triggering. the doctors are saying "no its not nessisary" and i stepped on a perfectly calibrated scale and its showing 93 pounds, 4 pounds less than what it was in january, anything below 90 is considered critical, are they going to wait for it to go critical.

Have tried AA. Don't feel it is right for me. "They" say it is next to impossible to stop without program. I feel that becomes a self fullfilling prophecy? Anyone agree? Anyone learn to control on own?

I have been feeling bad for about a week--ever since the A/C broke and we've kept the windows open and ceiling fans on in stifling heat.

Here are the symptoms: Early in the week, my eyes were extremely itchy. That's gone away. Then I developed an intermittent wheezy cough for about the last four days. I wake up each morning with swollen neck glands and produce deep yellow phlegm (that the shower helps dislodge). My throat is scratchy. And I am feeling very fatigued.

Any guesses? (I had mono twenty years ago, but I assume you can get it again just from generally being run down.)

In addition, whenever our kindergartner wakes up in the middle of the night, she seems to believe that something/everything is going to get her, so we have to calm her down. And our cat gives 4 a.m. wake up calls when I forget to lock him out. So there's been inadequte sleep lately.

Thanks for your guesses.

I heard 2 different theories. One states that if you were born with a mole ( or more ) on your body, you are at a high risk of getting cancer if you do not get it removed.

The other states that if you have it/them surgically removed, that will be a high risk of cancer.

Just askin cuz i have a tiny mole on my back and it drives me nuts. I wanted it to get removed but without bad consequences.

A few weeks ago I suffered with head pressure, lightheadness, neck pain and fatigue for 3 weeks straight. I got a spinal tap and catscan done and those cam e out normal so I took antiobiotics and they ddin't do anything. It went away for about a week and now the past few days I am so lightheaded and with horrible neck pain. It's swollen on the back right side of my neck and my doctor checked it out and reassured me it's not neck cancer. What could make me feel so horrible that even the doctor can't give a diagnosis?

First of all, I'm not allergic to the sun.
I used to joke that I'm a vampire, but I found humidity is the catalyst not the sun.
In wintertime I have no problems.

During the summer, when I am outside for any period of time, my skin becomes very itchy.
Usually this involves my face, ears, neck and arms. Basically anything exposed.
My skin doesn't change its appearance (it doesn't break-out or blister, etc). It only turns red when I start scratching it (and the itch is really overwhelming).
Also, I don't go tanning. Though I always use sun-block if the need arises. Sun-block doesn't help with relieving the amount of itchiness.

So what can I do to to stop my allergic reaction?
It really makes summer no fun for me.

I have a boil on my side and I cannot reach it well. It has been there for a few days now. It is a little bigger than a quarter and is cratered. I am starting to experience pain under my arm and it is very sensitive. I don't really want to go to the dr's. Any suggestions?

I use lots of moisturizer. I've tried different brands of lotion and makeup. Foundation makes it show up worse.

Hi -
I am 42 yrs. old, diagnosed with thrombocytopenia "idiopathic and cyclic (currently at 50 k) here in Spain. I am also apparently beginning Polycythaemia, they call it Poliglobulia(Hemoglobin now 18 (norm to 16) and my hematocrit is at 52 (norm. 50). I also have Hepatosplenomagaly with very elevated gamma gt, ast and alt, but normal billiruben, although the ldh was elevated. The last blood work showed a positive CEA (how much, I don't know) and I had the CA-19-9 at 6 (norm. 0-3). Is that high? They want to do an abdominal and thorax CT scan and a bone marrow test. What could they be looking for? I tested negative for all viruses (hep. a, b, c, and e as well as HIV). My autoimmune exams (anti-ro, ANA, and anti-ssm and platelet antibodies were negative...still pending the anti-dna. I also have psoriasis, and on the HLA antibodies exams I came out with the following:
B27 negative, DR-7 Negative, but the B-5 was very positive (90%).I would appreciate any opinion or ideas out there.

Actually,I'm addicted to laxatives for a few years now and my problem with constipation has gotten so bad that I sometimes feel I can't live like this anymore. I've tried everything I ever heard that could help,seen every doctor that I know of...nothing helps. I don't need advices about food or eating cos I know all about that. It doesn't matter what I eat or how much of water do I drink,doesn't change anything. I need an advice from someone who has had a similiar problem to tell me how to stop taking laxatives? What to do? I feel so depressed,life makes no sense to me anymore....
Thank you.

Whenever I step outside the house in the warm months, I get attacked by mosquitos and other "invisible" bugs which leads to painful swelling and itching. Looking for healthy, effective preventative measures and remedies that are easily available in Canada.

I have PCT and I was wondering if any of you on here also suffer with this condition. It makes it difficult being a college student and having to walk all over campus, go to class, etc. Though I did start a parasol trend on campus, which was pretty funny because most people thought I just carried it to be different.
