I am a diabetic of 10+ years. I am afarid I might be feeling something diabetics go through but I am not sure. I currently don't have insurance and that is why I have not gone to the doctor. I suddenly have a pain on the bottom of my foot when I touch or stand on that nerve. I thought it was my shoes since I am now working at an office that requires us tho wear dress shoes. I see no signs of bruising or anything of that sort. I have currently only used tennis shoes thinking it will help. It only hurts when I touch that specific nerve, anybody been through a similar situation? I am afraid this might have to do with my diabeties. In 1 month my insurance will start and I will be able to ask the doctor, but any usefull info would be appreciated.

I'm 23 years old and my acne has never been so bad! I watch what I eat, get 7-8 hours of sleep each night, my dermatologist recently put me on Minocyclin... The acne is still there... It even seems worse now. I've been on the medicine for a little over two weeks. I feel that it should be cleared. Any remedies I haven't tried? Help!

I have not been diagnosed with diabetes. But sometimes when I test my levels 1 hour after eating, it can be as high as 186 (even when I just have a bowl of plain oatmeal, unsweetened)...but then at the 2 hour mark it can quickly decrease to as low as 105. Is it normal for levels to go up that high at all after eating, and then drop so much in a matter of 2 hours? I read somewhere that in a normal person your levels should not ever go past 180 unless you have eaten a huge, high carb meal. Is this something that happens occasionally in the average non-diabetic person? I don't think I get to 180 ALL the time, but in my monitoring lately it has happened. Sometimes it can be around 150 1 hr. after meals-- even when I think I'm eating more that could cause my levels to go up.

Also, is it possible that slight anxiety can cause this?

My father has "stage IV" pancreatic cancer. The doctor's gave him 6 weeks to live. Today I was noticing that he will stare at an object and he will not look at someone unless we begin to speak to him. And..I noticed him reaching out with one arm but no one was near him. I was watching from my chair. Also I noticed that his arms and legs will suddently "jerk" or "jump" similar to a person dreaming that they are falling and you suddenly jump in your sleep. He is speaking but we can't understand some of his words. Are all of these signs meaning something? Does this mean he is having visions of someone that had previously died? Or is he trying to tell us something?

I made out with someone random at a club for the first time ever. He had no signs of an outbreak, but I know you can still get herpes without signs of an outbreak. I am extremely paranoid about getting herpes. Currently, I get canker sores on the inside of my mouth, but have never had anything else on the outside of my mouth. My question is, what are the chances of getting herpes? If I did have it, when would I experience an outbreak? Am I just being overly paranoid? What percent of the population has it? If you do have herpes or know someone with herpes, does it seriously affect your life? Any other helpful info? I tell ya, the first and last time I will make out with someone random.....

My dad is very overweight, has been for a long time. His eating habits aren't even bad, but he just keeps gaining weight. He has a high stress job, and he has problems with depression, so I suspect that is why he keeps gaining. He excersizes every day, but recently he confessed to my mom that he has been feeling some chest pain. I don't know how bad, but what exactly could that be? Signs of a heart attack coming, heart disease?
I'm trying to get him to lose more weight, but it's easier said then done. He lives about an hour away, so I don't see him every day. What could I do to try and motivate or help him? I don't want him to drop dead in the near future, I have two kiddos that love him very much. Any advice will be apreciated.

My son (24) had emergency surgery this morning to remove his appendix & they also had to do a bowel re-section due to the Crohn's Disease that he has had for 10 years. He will be in the hospital for 5-6 days and then sent home to recuperate. I will have to fly from Chicago to NY to take care of him. Does anyone have any idea how long it will be before he can go back to work?

is there a way you can get a body scan to search for tumors. I'm curious and felt that sure would simplify things. It sure would be nice if every one could do that on a yearly basis. Wow, would that cut into the treating cancer costs.

It's probably crazy expensive, however.
