I'm short sighted and have worn glasses since i was 11 (I'm 22). When i was about 14 i was told that my eyes would level out and wouldn't get worse. However they have been steadily getting worse over the years (I.e. every year i need a much stronger prescription). I was just wondering why this is, what the science of it is.

They are large white spots that i have had since i was born. they do not become tan or sunburned. And when i get cut there the white comes back after the cut has healed. My mother says its just my skin not getting pigment when I was a baby. But I would really like to know what it actually is?

I've been using proactive for a long time now, and I rarely miss a use.

What else can I try?

I don't want to try accutane, but if you have a good reason I should I'd love to hear it...

I can not walk correctly, or well at all. My hands don't really work all that well...and sometimes my speech. Why is this, if it's a blood disorder? Also, I"m 4mths pregnant....I know the risk is high and I've lost four times before. Would there be signs that the pregnancy isn't going well?

It's a pill, and it's supposed to cure acne, but it has a lot of side effects.

I was wondering:

1. Have you tried it?
2. Did it work?
3. Were you worried about side effects?
4. Did you have side effects, and what were they?
5. Would you reccommend it to friends/family?
6. If you had to, would you take it again?

Hello eveyone,I would like some speculations on my current
health problem addressed.In 2005 Dec,I came afflicted
with so called heartburn symptons.I have never previously
had any engages with it then suddenly,bam out of no where
my chest would stay firey all day long and stomach has remained warm/hot.I have taken many pump inhibitors,acid reducers and nothing alleviates the sympton not even a little
bit.I began to lose my appetite at onset but the only thing
the prescription prevacid restored was my appetite and
that's it.Few years back my doctor had me on fiber because
he said it was low.Changed doctors back then and somehow
don't remember staying on it and little concern about not
continuing it.I also had mutiple muscle spasm before the
gerd-like sympton and on current muscle spasm treatment.
I also recall doctor saying something about my liver long
time ago but think he said it was ok.I believe something
else is underlying or related.Does anyone have a clue?

I'm 27 and started getting some skipped heartbeats last year during my pregnancy with my 1st son. I saw a cardiologist who did an EKG, holter monitor, and Echocardiogram. He says not to worry that skipped beats are common and nothing more than a nuisance. He says everything else is normal.

I'm really trying to believe him but I don't understand how after 26 years of normal heartbeats I'd all of a sudden get "skipped beats". I also don't understand how its normal and not a sign of somehting worse.

I have 2 boys under 2 yrs. old and worry all the time about not being around for them and that the skipped beats are a sign of something horrible but the dr. has missed something because I"m young.

I'm open to the possibility of me just being neurotic and a worrier...but really, can someone explain how "skipped beats" are normal?

Last week I quit as I no longer could deal with this. Every day I would be looking everywhere for the mice. The sticky traps had mouse hair all over them. As part of my job I had to file in a basement with droppings, dust and mold. I was always sick and could not figure out why. Since I have been home, I do not have headaches, sick stomach sneezings and watery eyes. What can I do about this. I went on a few interviews but find myself looking around for droppings. I am having nightmares that mice are everywhere. Also one of my bosses continually would comment "be thankful you have a job". Help me please

My son who is 2 years old developed really small red bumps on his face and a few on his arms about two days ago. Today his cheeks are a bit red. He doesn't have a fever or act sick in any way, he's also not itchy. Is this something I should worry about? I am also 33 weeks pregnant. I don't think they are chicken pox. Should I wait another day or 2 and take him to the doctor or go see a doctor asap?

here is my problem- I have a slew of medical issues-from fatigue,always having respiratory illness and joint pain on my entire left side, to what i JUST realized were psoriasis patches on my neck (i had them in the past. havent seen them this entire year), as well as other issues- These being the main ones.I've taken numerous xrays, MRIs and blood tests. ONE blood test (my 1st) showed I had a positive ANA...a weak positive. Subsequent tests all came back negative for lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, etc etc...everything comes back negative...at different dr's, labs, etc... Recently, my left ring finger became extremely swollen after what felt like loss of circulation on my left arm...I was diagnosed with synovitis-which the doctor's have NO clue why I have this being that its usually only present in people with an autoimmune disease (which I have alot of symptoms of, but no lab work to justify it). Any idea what may be going on with me? I will begin taking the medrol pack (5 days) next wk
