Hi to anyone taking the time to read this and thank you. Does any one in here get bronchitis a few times a year. If so, does anyone have any tips on what to eat, what to avoid, even what areas of the US are the best places to live to avoid getting it so frequently. Does stress factor into it? Thanks for any info. peace

I have no rash, no redness or any visible symptoms...but my hands feet and scalp are itching like crazy. I just walked bare foot outside and my feet started itching so bad that it was more like a burning sensation. I have never had any allergies and don't have a stuffy nose, congestion, etc. Does anyone know what this could be?

I can't hardly function I am rubbing my eyes, sneezing and blowing/wiping my nose so much! I have tried several different things the 24 hour claritin, a sinus allergy medicine and they didn't help me. I am medicated 24/7! UGH. I am used to having allergies every year this time but they seem even worse than normal. I can't even hold my baby without having to put him down real quick and run for tissue. What can I do or use that actually helps?

II was diagnosed 3 years ago right after my 21st birthday with Melanoma Skin Cancer. I had a 6" area, .9mm deep removed out of my back. And I had my lymph nodes removed out of my arm. I did a year of Interferon Apha Combatient. I now go to the doctor 1/every three months. He feels my back and arm pit and says see ya in 3 months. I have read alot about this cancer, and I see that it is very aggresive. I am just wondering if I should have some scans done or some other treatment.?? Any ideas?

I've only left 2 years of my lifespan due to a bone marrow disease though. If you were me, how will you spend the remainder of your lives though?

Cheers and have a nice week ahead :)

I have trouble with portioning food and I wanted to know how much is too much of anything

2007-09-18 07:16:36 · 5 answers · asked by Anonymous in Diabetes

About once or twice a year, I get an extreme allergic reaction to food - but I'm not sure which food causes it.

After eating, my stomach will feel like a pit of acid, and then I begin to get a horrible rash all over my body. The rash will start under my arms, between my legs, and on my chest - and it'll eventually go all over. It is unbearably itchy - even in my throat and eyes. My heart will begin to beat extrodinarily fast, and I will become very nauseus. It feels like there is swelling under my chin and that my throat is closing up.

The only thing that stops the allergy is two Benadryl tablets.

The symptoms are incredibly awful, and I honestly think that without an antihistamine I would probably die.

I've recorded the foods that have given me the allergy, and they seem unrelated: macaroni & cheese, chicken burger, cocoa powder... so I figure it must be some contaminant.

Has anyone else had a similar problem?

My sleeping habit is really not normal. Most of the time I sleep late midnight at around 2 a.m. and wake up early in the morning for my class. Because of this, I usually sleep upon arriving home every afternoon and wake up at night around 10 p.m. to eat, study and do other stuffs. After doing those things, I will sleep at around 2 a.m. One more thing, I'm into eating sweets, i just wonder if that is one reason of my problem.

IM AT A LOSS I DONT HAVE INSURANCE TO GO SEE A DOCTOR TO GET THESE PROBLEMS CHECKED OUT. I AM HOPING SOMEONE ON HERE CAN IDENTIFY THESE SYMPTOMS AND HELP ME UNDERSTAND AND STOP WORRYING ABOUT WHATEVER MIGHT BE WRONG WITH ME. I HAVE AT THE MOMENT THROWN MY CIGARETTES AWAY AND HAVE NO INTENTIONS OF PICKING UP THE HABIT AGAIN. EVERYDAY I LOOK AT MY FIANCEE AND HOPE THAT I DONT HAVE CANCER BECAUSE I CANT BRING MYSELF TO IMAGINE NOT GETTING TO HAVE MY TIME WITH HER AS WE HAVE PLANNED. PLEASE HELP ME.

My husband has the following (and in my opinion, contradicting) symptoms...high blood sugar-between 260 and 400, irritability, he drinks a lot of water and gets up 3-4 times a night to get rid of it, he's lost 30 lbs (5'8", 130 lbs), more recently-he has been extremely lethargic. We are working on getting insurance, I just wanted to get an idea of what's going on?

I happen to see a recommendation for a condom to be used as a safe birth control method. These are not 100% safe.(but close to it)
Also they are not 100% safe against the aids virus. An aids virus measures 1 micron in width. Ther are micrscopic holes found in condoms that are 10 microns in width.
These are the same holes which allow air to escape from a blown up balloon after a few days!

My mom uses onions in almost all of her cooking, it doesnt have any effect on me. But when I cook and start cutting up onions, my fingers will be very very itchy after the cutting. Sometimes, after excessive scratching, i will have small bumps on my fingers. Ususally, there are liquids in these bumps. Am i really allergic to onions?

My Dad was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last week. It has also spread to his liver. My sister looked online and clames that the life expectence from the time of diognisis is 3 to 6 months. I am just hoping that there is someone out there that may know more about it and if it is true that he may only live for only another 3 to 6 months. Ineed to know what I am facing, my mother is not telling me anything because she can't face it herself and he is in complete dinale about his condition.
