The doctor thinks I'm anemic and have thyroid problems. 5 people in my family have thyroid problems (one has thyroid cancer) and I've been having weird dizzy spells where I get really dizzy and hot and have to hold on to something or I'll collapse. I get those quite frequently, sometimes 3-4 times a day. What could that be and does blood testing hurt?

My grandfather who is 73 was diagnosed with Cancer of the pancreas 1 month ago.
He has several scans on the NHS (National Health Service) that didn't detect anything so he payed to go private he had a scan that showed a tumor that hadn't spread on his pancreas.
He had a biopsy but when he went for his results he was greeted by an embarased surgeon who said they'd lost them.
This was bad enough but after this happened he had not been told that the biopsy could infact spread the cancer.
He had not been given a proper consultation this hospital has been in total chaos for a long time my grandmother got MRSA in there and when I was born my mother had to sleep on a matress in the middle of a ward
this is called playing with life and death what do you think??

My girl friend & I share a very close physical & emotional relationship. Though we have never had sex, we got close physically quite a few time. I noticed that whenever I suck her nipples, it tastes salty- not sweat but as if some salty fluid is coming out constantly. Could any one say what it is & is there any risk of breast cancer from it?

My son is 9, and for the past year or so, he has had this sorta acid reflux (or gurd). I have seen his doctor, and she said maybe lactose intolerance, so I took him off all milk products, yet it continued. so I took him back to the doc, and she just brushed it off again. Now he has been complaining of stomach aches off and on, and sometimes refuses to eat. He feels like he is going to throw up, and he has bowel movement probs. He had an x-ray yesterday, and they saw nothing, but gas. Has anyone had experience with these symptoms? Maybe any suggestions? His doctor is infuriating me, she just blows it off......
