I have been exhausted for the past three months. And I have frequent migraines. I do not have an appetite and my lymphnodes are swollen. Does anyone have any idea what could be going on? I went to the doctor and they drew blood. They haven't called me with the test results yet.

For as long as I can remember I've had these red bumps on my thighs and upper arms. They don't itch or anything, but they never go away. When I get hot or sweaty they get redder and more are prevalent. In the wintertime, when my skin's dry, they reduce in size and there are fewer of them. I was taken to a doctor many years ago and they said it might be something to do with the keratin in my skin. Is there a skin condition that could cause it? Help!

I never used to suffer from them when I was younger but these past few years whenever I go abroad I get red heat bumps/rash on my chest and shoulders. I've tried using the Piz Buin allergy sun lotions too but it doesn't seem to work.
Can anyone help??

It's not clubfoot....
And the child is borwn with their feet curved inward like the letter C.

I've tried searching the internet, but with my only real description being "feet curved inward like Cs"
you can probably guess that I haven't gotten very far.

I heard yesterday of a kid who had to wear casts to correct the curve and eventually a special made shoe.


any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Please can someone explain it to me?My husband was send to get a CAT-SCAN b/c our doc was worried about his lung not working properly(she said she could barely hear it)
No one will tell us anything or what's going on.
And is it normal if one lung is a bit shorter then the other one?I saw that his right lung is shorter during the scan.
Thanks in advance!

I am a type 2 diabetic. Before eating I will typically be between 85 and 100 and 1-2 hours after eating a healthy meal my level will peak at 180-200. I thought the ideal was to stay under 140??

I had a health screening last friday and because I have a big upper arm the nurse used a large cuff and my BP was scarily high (140/104). Today I got it measured at a blood pressure kiosk with a "normal" sized cuff and it was better (123/84).

I know both readings are high but I'm trying to track it to help decided if I want to take medication or not. I'm already trying to lose weight which I know will bring it down.

For example, I'm freshly recovered from all sorts of unfortunate health ailments that started in my last semester of college, forutnately I finished. However I was literally bedridden in January, and as for February-April I"ve been in and out of ER's for about 3-4 times, due to pneumonia, chest infection, bronchitis, and asthma which developed.

It is now June, and I'm finally somewhat able to feel normal, but I feel like I completely literally died, couldnt think, lost myself...and now im reborn, and it's just a strange feeling.

WHen you're sick, sometimes you really can't function.

Luckilly I'm with a good family and I'm taken care of.

However, I've been pressured to do things which I just couldn't do. My parents prematurely pushed me to go on 100000 job interviews, etc, and I just wasn't up for it.

is it OKAY to do things on your own terms when you feel ready?

Life runs 24/7/365, and I feel insane pressure to just keep going. MOst people feel invincible.
I fell hard.

My dad just passed away on Monday...massive heart attack. He would have been 43 this Wednesday. A couple of years ago, his brother passed away of a massive heart attack at the age of 39. Thier mom passed away of a massive heart attack when she was 42. My uncle went to the doctor the day before he died. The doctors told him they couldn't find anything, and sent him home. The next morning, he had a heart attack and died. According to the doctors, there is no disease, or anything. I'm wondering if it's a sure thing that in like 18 years I will die of a heart attack. How likely is that to happen? Also, my brother is 21, and is already having, not "problems", but issues with his heart. Do you think this is the definate way we will both go???? Just curious to know your opinions, since doctors don't seem to have any... Thank you!

I think I might have a kidney infection but it doesn't hurt when I pee. I always assumed that it would. Has anyone had a kidney infection and if so what did it feel like? What were the symptoms?

I have had this battery acid feeling in my throat now off and on for a month. I started taking Prilosec OTC almost two weeks ago and last night I had the worst spell of acid in my throat. I tried taking Maalox and drinking some milk and nothing helped. This is the first time that I have had all day acid and not been able to get rid of it. Does anyone know of an Over the counter medicine that is especially good for acid reflux/acid in throat? I have already tried taking typical antacids like rolaids and Gas-X and of course the prilosec OTC. Or am I describing acid reflux disease and thus should go to the doctor? help!

I was infected with MRSA during an operation several years ago. Would this issue prevent me from becoming a registered nurse?
