Diseases & Conditions - 31 July 2007

I feel lightheaded and heavy when I stand up. If I'm sitting down or laying I'm just fine though. It sometimes feels as though I can't make it down a isle in a store or the hallways of my high school. Please help with any ideas of what this is and how to help it.

PS) I went to a doctor twice and they are stupid as ****.

My 2 year old daughter has been vomiting for a week now. She has been to the doctors once and in the ER twice. Once she was dehydrated and the second time i thought she was bc she didn't pee for 24 hours however she wasn't. They checked her blood and urine and came to the conclusion that she has a virus and there is nothing further they can do. She vomits everytime she eats anything (which is hardly ever) or drinks in bulk (more then an ounce an hour). I was wondering if this is normal or should I take her back to the ER... basically is it normal for a virus to take this long!??!?!?!?

Any answers would be appreciated... thanks!

Heres my story I took my 7 year old daughter to the dermatologist today, Keep in mind, that this little girl never crys, very strong child. Anyway~the dr comes in and asks how the cream was working for her warts, I replied not very well. He says "well then I guess we will have to freeze them off, and be prepared it will burn and hurt, not gonna lie to u" , but decided to go on with the procedure. He started with 2 on her ankle and she was in some pain, but not to bad. He froze them , and then was looking at other places on her leg, and my daughter which was scared told him that those were just bug bites, he replied, i think i know what bug bites look like a little better than u. But anyways he continures to freeze them off and does not give her any break, she is screaming to the top of her lungs. He says nothing to her, gets up and leaves. I know this does not sound bad to some, but then I leave and go to complain to the board of med, and when i am doing a search, I cant find his name

I live with my Grandfather who is 81 years old. He has always been the smartest person that I have ever known (valedictorian in high school & Vice President of a bank for 40 years), but in the past year his short term memory is going. I just watched a great movie with him and at the end he tells me that he didn't understand a thing about it and when I asked what he didn't understand, it was clear to me that he forgot the whole first part of the movie... He has been taking a prescription drug the past 6 months but it only seems to make him tired and doesnt seem to help. I am more worried than ever & am desperately looking for help with this before it gets really bad, any answers will be appreciated.

A long time ago, when I was a teen, my heartless boyfriend who cheated on me gave me chlamydia. I didn't have it long when I found out about it, but the wierd thing is to treat it they had me mix this powder with water and drink it, they said thats all i had to do(and wait 7 days to have sex again)I haven't been back to the doctor since because I hate to go and I've been very careful who i have sex with. I know I haven't caught it again, but sometimes I wonder if the medicine they gave me even worked because i heard of people taking pills to treat it that's not what they gave me. Even more concerning I have had chronic pelvic pain for years(which i thought was natural)and I'm almost 100% positive that i'm infertile. Is it likely that I got PID which has caused all these problems? And have I had it all this time? or is it more likely that I've had the same std for all these years?(even though I nor any partner i've been with has had symptoms.)

Since allergy shots are just little doses of the allergen, why can't people who are allergic to cats just get immune to it by living around cats?

Can smoking cigarettes lower your blood oxygen or whatever? My mom has been smoking a long time and she went to the doctor and apparently her Oxygen level was 82.

Also, what are good ways to bring oxygen up without using a machine/inhaler?

Okay, I am wondering can you get HIV from your own blood. I probably sound like an idiot. I do know the ways of catching this virus. I am just being paranoid I suppose. About six months ago I cut myself pretty bad with these cuticle cutters which I had previously used before. They were clean, but I have bled on them in the past. (After it happened I threw them out. I wasn't chancing it again.) Ever since then I've been wanting to get an HIV test. However I don't have ANY other reason to get one. I was going to go today, but then I decided not to, and to do it in a few weeks. I've been going nuts over the chance that I have it. Seriously, tell me I'm being paranoid and it's not possible I gave myself HIV through a pair of cuticle cutters lol. It doesn't help that when I was thinking about my chances of having it. My mom pulled up in front of a car with the license plate "POSITIV". Weird coincidence? I'm freaking out. I'm also wondering about Hepatitis. I think I'm a hypocondriac =[

Every so often, maybe three times a day for the past week, I notice my heart doing something strange, almost like it's skipping or slurring a beat. Before this week I hadn't noticed it. Is this a health issue, or am I just not getting enough sleep?

I dont' know all the std's they have, just of one..chlamydia. But the friend's gf is a Cr@ck head and sleeps with a bunch of guys besides her bf. So I'm really scared, and I won't let him kiss me.

More so in the last three weeks, and for many years now I find my self in a daze, staring off into space, mind blank, and physically standing there like a statue, sometimes I would guess for up to a minute or longer, this especially happens when I go to the store, get out of my car and am ready to go into the store. Its increasing along with the memory loss, it happens to me other places too, its frustrating, embarrasing when I come to my senses and realize that it just happened again. Is this some kind of mini seizure? does any one else experience this. Whats going on? I have searched the web but cannot find what I am looking for, I also have had chronic insomnia for about eleven years now, If I take sleep medication of course its worse, it works on me in the day time like a mind eraser, so I dont take anything, not even over the counter, and I still am experiencing memory loss, and dazes, any one have this, please help me understand, and deal with it. Thanks so much.
