I was watching a program on tv and they were talking about an American woman who woke up one day and all of a sudden she had this heavy English accent even though she had never lived in England or spoke with their accent before. She, and every body else was puzzled by that and they thought she was faking it until a doctor actually diagnosed her with 'FAS' and he said it was due to some kind of stroke !! I find that really funny. What kind of stroke causes someone to speak with an English accent all of a sudden ?? Lol, that's really funny.

This is daft but i seem to be really itchy under my boobs and my abdomen and back. Nothing to see at all. No spots or anything. The itchness is driving me mad especially under the boobs but it also feels tender too. I take daily baths and am not sweating excessively.
Anyone else had this?
I've tried E45 anti-itch cream but that did not help.
Have not changed washing poweders or foam baths or soap.
So I am baffled....and itchy!

I just turned 18 years old. I think I have a undecended testicle(my left one) I can't see it or feel it, I think I can feel it right below my stomach kind of near the base of my penis. I don't want my parents or especially my brother or my friends to know about this. Is there any way I can see a doctor without my family knowing? Or will my testical eventially drop down in the sac?

I'm having chest tightness and pain. I've recently had an EKG that was abnormal, I'm 22 and they said it was normally found in 60+ year olds. I have to wait until next week to get my ECG Bubble Test to determine exactly what the problem is and how to fix it.

I've been complaining the last 2 months to my doctor of heart palpitations, dizziness and lightheadedness. They hooked me up to a Holter Monitor but I do not know the results of that yet either.

I went into the ER the other night, because I was having chest pains and tightness. I've never had a heart attack lol, so wasn't sure if I should let it go or get it checked out anyway. They did a chest xray and some blood work...and all came out fine. Suggested that I still have the ECG done, but couldn't do anything more for me. I'm still having chest pain, it's very umcomfortable but am not sure what to do? It's right in the middle of my chest, isn't heartburn, and feels like someone is just pushing their fist into me.

I am a 65 yr old lady. It was very hot here today and when I removed my bra, the area where to band goes, under the breast is very sore and red. Its a heat rash. What is the best way to treat it? I have put baby powder on it, like for diaper rashes, does not seem to work and also put on some antifungal cream. Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I have been taking Lamictal (bipolar medicine), Adderol (Amphetamine salts; for ADD), and Welbutrin to get me off of smoking which I have done now but use it to level me out somewhat.

Can any of these medicines be damaging in he long run if I take them and not overdose at all?

my sister in-law tried saying the baby has a rash on his face because everyone kisses him to much. Can kisses cause facial rashes? I think it's just heat rash myself.

Cells lose the control to reproduce and then form into a tumor right? I can see how a brain tumor could kill someone but could someone else explain to me how exactly cancer kills someone?

Hi!

I'm a 25yo WM who was diagnosed with "Infantile Seizures" at apx age 1 or 2 and placed on phenobarbital until apx age 4. Now I'm 25 with a lot of questions about the long term effects of both the seizures (I had 2 episodes) and the medication I was on. Sorry I can't be more exact on dates, my mom died a few yrs ago and was the one who would have known.

What I Know
Until age 4 when I came of the pheno I was a healthy, slightly underweight child, by the time I started kindergarten I had ballooned to nearly 100lbs.

Second I have very few memories of childhood up to age 12.

Third I've had some severe issues with depression and have been predominantly unresponsive to or had severe adverse reactions to every depression medication I've been on.

Before someone gets the wrong impression, I'm not sure that these are inter-related or causative, I just want to know if anyone else is in the same boat or if anyone else has any information regarding the situation I'm in. Thanks!

My daughter's doctor suggested she switch to soy, because she can't handle milk protien. She is 13 months. It's not a lactose problem, so Lactaid won't help. I've heard different things about soy, both good and bad. Can someone tell me what the benefits and drawbacks of soy milk/soy products are?

I'm having severe pain on my left side (kidney) along with swelling and fever. My dr. ran an IVP since I had Kindey Stones removed last year, but I don't see anything on this report that explains my pain. It states "The film demonstrates a nonspecific bowel gas pattern as well as A film taken immediately after injection of contrast reveals prompt bilateral nephrograms and delicate Calices." My dr. was closed after my test was run and if I'm correct, I don't think the IPV showed anything and I'm still in major pain. Anyone out there that knows what any of this means, I would love to know before Monday if I'm going to have to do more testing or what. My rt. side is now tender too.
