My daughter is 8 yrs old and weve battled a vision problem for four years. We have seen several optometrists, and all of them has had a different opinion on her vision.. (muscular, astigmatism, etc..) Weve done the patch, she's worn glasses etc...
Nothing seemed to help. In fact her vision has worsened.a. She was able to see periphial (sp?) but just in the last year she has complained of complete loss of vision..
My husband's coworker and friend recommended a reputable optometrist and so we made the appt. and he referred my daughter to an Opthamologist. The opthamologist was astounded to the fact that my daughter never was referred to get an MRI done for ruling out any tumor compressing her optic nerve..
We had the MRI done at the hospital here in our area, and the report stated that 2 large cysts were causing mass compression (pineal, and arachnoid). Was then referred to Neurologist, same thing was stated,, and referred to Neuro-surgeon but he said she just had chiari malformation

My friend who is 11 was born with an extra muscel in his heart, but I don't remember which ventracle it was in.He said it caused his heart to beat 200- 300 beats per min. If he did not take his proper medication. Has anyone ever heard of an extra muscel in the heart, is this classified as a dissease or a defect from birth. He WAS born with this extra muscel. Please give me some info on this. He is 11 yrs. old getting heart surgery soon.

Can you still use the first 2 vaccinations eventhough 5 years have passed since my second vaccine of hepatitis b? Or should I start by scratch and receive all 3 vaccinations (repeating the first 2)?

Within the last week I’ve had a sudden outbreak of freckles all over my body. That is, they look like freckles. They vary in size and are a little darker then my complexion. It would be normal to assume they are the effects of the sun but they are appearing all over my body. Not to mention, I am almost never outside more than a few minutes without sun block. About a week and a half ago I was bitten by a tick. I don’t know if that has anything to do with it. Does anyone have a clue what this might be?

i have a corn/blister/wart on my pinky toe. i have had these Dr. Scholl's patch things on them because they're supposed to get rid of them, but i was wondering if there was a quicker, easier way.

are there any tricks, like putting it in vinegar or something, that will get rid of it in a couple of days? i'd like to have it gone by tuesday if possible.

my friend showed me a picture of what looked like warts in her vagina.. I told her they looked like gential warts and that she should get tested.. She claims their not gential warts because when she was tested all the doc said she had was a uti.. could her uti lead to those bumps? what else could they be? she said they hurt all the time. but doesn't burn when she pees.. I'm at a lost what to tell her..

come down with a fever?
My sister's child (my neice) came down with something, but the doctors do not know what it is yet. THey ruled out cancer, as she's been thru some tests already.
Her brother had CSF b4 a few wks. ago but he of course had a very high fever, ended up going to the hospital, recovered--we're so worried about the little girl though! SHe's feeling ill but not feverish at all my sister says

It makes me mad when my wife smokes, I have caught her smoking in the house around my 12 year old daugther. Is smoking that addictive? I can't understand why someone would do something so nasty. Somedays I want to throw my hands up and just get divorced. Any advice on how to help my wife, she says she wants to quit, but hasn't done so in 22 years. Only short periods of time like 4 months here 4 months there. thanks

I'm just curious to know how it made you feel. I am having anxiety about the feeling you feel right as your being put out and wondered if the meds they give you before to calm you down would help with that. Any help?
