If whatever the answer could be, what are some things I could do besides eat fruits and veggies....I am prego so I have added those to my diet...

also, when i am sleeping the inside of my mouth gets so dry it wakes me up and i have to get a drink. in the morning it is the same, i can barely speak and it almost hurts to open it.i have never experienced these symptoms associated with a cold before. i'm still not over my cold and am going to the doctor tomorrow. a friend of mine and i were just discussing this on the phone and he said he has been experiencing the same dry mouth at nite since his cold a few months ago. is this something new in the viral world? i'll see what the doctor says, i wish i had gone sooner because this is really getting old.

I also have a lump on the back of my neck and my doctor asked if anyone in my family had cancer. The lump was apart from the enlarged lymph nodes, which have gone down, but I still have the lump. i don't have a sore throat anymore, but now I feel like I am going to die. I don't feel right. I feel fatigued and full of anxiety and I have body aches. Question: is something else wrong too and is it contagious at this point ( I have work tomorrow) and what do you think the "lump" is?

I am not immune to chicken pox, I was tested when I was pregnant and told I am not immune. My mom says I did have the chicken pox when I was little though. I am over 20 and know it can be quite bad to get. My question is, I was exposed to someone with shingles, can I catch chicken pox from them, or would I catch shingles? Also how long after exposer should signs show up if I have caught the chicken pox or shingles?

For the past 3 days, I am feeling pretty tired. I was away for a week before this while getting maybe 6 hours of sleep everyday. I can still do my everyday activities including sports, but I feel like I want to sleep most of a time. I know that strep throat is also common during mono, but I only feel mild fatigue/tireness. Do I have like a mild case of mono?

For some reason when I go to school I get these horrible air pockets (gas) either in my stomach or in between my chest and stomach. It is miserable and extremely painful, sometimes I can't even breath it hurts so bad and I can't do my school work sometimes because of it. Then sometimes I have to close my eyes and hold my stomach really tight in the middle of class so it won't hurt as bad, and that can be really embarassing when people are watching you.

Is there any kind of medicine or solution for this problem??

If there is medicine what is it called and where can I buy it?

Thanks for everyones time!
