March this year I had the stomach flu , since then my stomach hasnt been the same. I'm confirmed to NOT have the following :

Any thryoid problem (Hypo, Hyper, Hyperpara)
Pancreatitis (The head of my pancreas is large)
Gallstones
Cancer
Celiac Disease

I've had over 4 thyroid tests (bloodwork for levels 3 times) including scan and uptake, normal.
CT scan of pancreas along with testing of Lipase, normal.
Ultrasound of abdomen, only finding was a large pancreas, no gallstones.

I have absolutely NO idea whats wrong with me NONE at all and its so frustrating.
I refuse to believe its all in my head because it is not.
The day after I had the stomach flu (which was incredibly violent) my stomach ( in between and below breastbones ) felt so nauseous in such an odd way.
A month later I got acid reflux that hit me after drinking Gatorade and that started me on Protonix. Ive had a history of LPR but never literal reflux I could feel. I was COMPLETELY fine before I got that stomach flu.

my bf of about 2 1/2 years and he feels so miserable.. i try to hate him for it but i cant. he didnt even know he had it. if a std is contracted by 80% of women why isnt there a test for men?

its caused me to be so depressed and frightened. i realy keep to myself now. i have one of the worse cases and have had the freezing done 2 times. im going back at the end of this month to see if the surgery worked this time. im so angry with myself that i may never be able to have kids.. one of the most important experiences i look foward to in my life.
im only 19. im not ready to have cancer

I awoke in my sleep last night to a serious pain in my left side and under my left breast. It felt like someone punched me in the ribs. It hurt to move and try to get up. Was this a heart attack?

My 3 year old daughter got hives on Friday night. Since then, between the ER and her ped., we have been treating them. She has never had them before and nothing has changed in her diet, soap, detergent, etc. I'm looking for parents that have gone through the same thing to gather advice, etc. She is now on a steriod and histimine blocker that totally takes the hives away, however when the meds begin to wear off, they are right back!!! I'm extremely worried and frusturated. Thanks for any help.

Someone told me that ADVAIR can/could
cause heart problems & that it can/could
cause someones heart to stop.
(1.) Is that true???
(2.) Why or Why not???
(3.) Why would she say such a thing that isn't true???

The person told me it made her have heart problems.
But if that was true I wouldn't think that
the FDA would approve of the drug& doctors wouldn't
prescribe it.
I'm so worried about taking it now.
I'm going to see if my psycharist will help me
take it tonight just in case I have a serious side
effect of the medince & just in case I have a allergic
reaction to the medince since my whole family
doesn't take things seriously.
(3.)Should I have my psycharist help me take it tonight???
(4.) Why or Why not???
(5.) Why does she think Advair caused her heart problems???
