I'm doing a speech about this stuff and I'm going to open it with all the crazy (whether they're true or not) stories of all the things you can "get cancer from" - What's the craziest thing you've heard that you can get cancer from? Or have you heard crazy ones that actually are true? Thanks>

One corner of my lips are so dry and continues to crack daily. It'll close at night after i've caked chap stick on it, all day, all night, then i'll eat something and bam, re-cracked.

Usually it goes away, well in the situation where similar situations arise, however, this time it's been recracking every day for two weeks, easy.

Any at home suggestions, or amazing miracle product?

I'm sick of having a sore, red, cracked owie on the side of my mouth.

Thanks,

I have very dry skin on my face and I've tried so many different ways to get rid of it but nothing is seeming to work...I try to wear cover up but everytime i do, my skin comes off all flakey even when i apply it with mosturizing creams. How can i reduce the look of dry skin while wearing cover up or get rid of my dry skin all together?

I had some disturbing news from my doctor. My total cholesterol level was 233. (HDL = 73, LDL = 141) Triglycerides 116. Glucose 80.

I was told by my doctor to eat foods low in saturated fats, but I already eat in a very healthy way. I am only 25, 5'2", and 105 lbs! I also exercise 3 times per week.

Should I be concerned now, or just have it tested in 6 mo and go from there? The reason I am concerned is that I don't see what lifestyle changes I could possibly make. Thanks!

I've just been diagnosed that my heart's right and left ventricles are thick as it works extra harder than usual, causing irregular blood pressure readings.

Have you ever been diagnosed similarly/know someone who faces the same situation before? How do you/they deal with it and how is it getting along?

Doc says that if its not treated... I'll be left with only a 'few good years' to live...

I'm only about to turn 24... and I understand that diseases don't discriminate.

The possible cause for this condition was probably an inhereditary symptom and for a fact that I was also an active athlete (until I had to stop completely due to stress and unbearable 'challenge' I face when competing, but still able to cope with own exercise, which I think is 'enough').

am very upset. My son is such a good little baby, but over the past month he has not been himself lately. The right side of his face is much larger then the left and his eye is so swollen. I have taken him to 4 different doctors and they all said "we thinks" and "maybes" and noone can tell me anything. They all make it seem normal and like im paranoid. Over the past three days hes actually been vommiting ( not spitting up) 5 + times and hes been very fussy,not like him at all. He had another eye doctor appointment today and his eye looked awful. They spent 10 minutes and took three flash photos (all at the childrens hospital) and told me his eye was swollen (duh) and his lip was droopy (duh) and a bunch of other stuff I already knew. I was sitting holding my son when I heard the docs mention his name and saying that they found a little something in the pictures, but they didnt think that it was that big of a deal to do anything with. This has ben going of for weeks. Help. am i crazy

It seems to be reaccuring and just comes and goes constantly every few weeks. I seem to get it easier than my counterparts. I usually treat it very aggrssivley with anti fungals and it goes away in about 4-5 days and never really gets bad. Then it will spring back up somewhere else. My question is this. If I leave the ringworm, dont treat it with lamisil or anything, and let it run its course, will my immune system eventually find a way to deal with it and build up an imminity thus keeping me from getting it as easily in the future?

I have fire snot. It's hot and liquid and just flipping POURS out of my nose. I have blown my nose RAW. It hurts to THINK about touching it. Now my throat hurts (i'm guessing from drainage) My eyes are all puffy my throat itches. I'm so sad! What can I do? I've tried Clariton, benadryl, and nyquil. I've tried a steamy shower. I can't sleep and need to rest! I lay down (or stand or sit or hover-- anything really) and snot just pours out. Ugh argh! Someone give me the miracle cure!
