i have just met a wonderful guy, who had terratoma 6 years ago. He had his lymph nodes removed and had strong chemotherapy. I have 2 questions. 1) what is terratoma and 2) what is the likelihood of us falling pregnant? The reason im not sure on details is that i dont want to ask him too many questions because we havent been together long. We are not even thinking about children yet but its good to be informed for the future. If any doctors/sufferers could answer it would be a great help. Thanks

I'm reading about possible disorders that involve diarrhea as one of the main symptoms. IBS (Irritable Bowl Syndrome) apparently occurs in many people under stress. When I went to the doctor's office, she assumed that my problem was stress induced. Also, I learned that half of the women with IBS experienced sexual abuse which also happened to me. However, I don't see how there could be anything I'm under stress about... it's summer vacation and I don't have anything to worry about yet my problems seem to be happening more and more frequently. Are there any other symptoms of IBS that might help me see if this is what I'm suffering from?

For the last three period cycles my mom has had anxiety and depression. This is what her cycles go like
Beggining of cycle- anxiety, and anxiety related nausea and dizziness. Fatigue.
Midcycle and during period- depression, headaches, irratability, fatigue, and she feels a dull ache and fluttering in her ovaries during midcycle. (but she has always gotten that even before) The first two period were kind of early, and the 3rd on was 30 days.

Its really scaring me. Her Gyno felt her ovaries and felt nothing , but i am still worried about it. And recently i had a dream where she did have ovarian cancer. I keep having nightmares about her illness. And she says sometimes she feels a flushing sensation go through her neck and chest. Just before this all started, she used Progesterone cream to treat PMS. She never asked a doctor before she used it . The doctor then said that that can casue depression in women and gave her Ativan and Zoloft. They kinda helped. hold on let me add details

My hair has been gradually thining for the past 5 years now and is getting really bad. After a skin biopsy test last year my doctor finall confirmed to me today that there is nothing majorly wrong and that its a really common condition (hair loss).

So now instead of refering me to another specialists he has giving me a scalp lotion to try.

...Sounds good but when i read what it was for, it seems as though its not for people suffering hair loss but far worse skin scalp conditions like, eczema, dermatitis (itching), psoriasis of the scalp...all of which i don't have!

its also used for seborrhoea capitis (a condition causing redness and inflamation of the scalp and crusty patches of the scalp.

It all seems rather scary to me as all the above symptons are not related to me! also the side effects are bad too!!!

Please help!!! should I listen to my doctor and use it???
