I am 42 and need to start having breast exams, however, at 23 I had a breast augmentation which started leaking that same year and has made me sick over the years, therefore I cannot have a mammogram because it could be dangerous to cause more silicone leakage into my body...does anyone know of any alternative measures which won't cause any more damage, that I can do for breast cancer screening???

Anyone else with this problem have adrenal surges when you get low like in the 70's? Does it cause you to have the runs?

I have been on the basic Atkins diet for several weeks and I still can't get it under control. If I don't eat, I am fine, but if I eat even a small meal, I crash.

I was tested for insulin levels when I was fasting and had double normal range. The Endo doc is a jerk. She doesn't think there is any real cases of reactive Hypoglycemia. I asked if it could be an "insulinoma" like the ER doc suggested and she said it is so rare that it would be near impossible to have one.

Any suggestions?

I used to eat shrimp a lot without problem but here in the past year, shrimp and scallops make my throat feel like it is swelling shut. Is this imagined? I stopped seafood for a while but had some crab legs last night without problem. Is a seafood allergy all seafood or could it be limited to shrimp and scallops? Is this all in my head?

I am going to an old school beacuse my new school isnt finished yet. The school is very old and moldy. On the first day of school my throat started hurting. It hurt the whole week. My mother thought it was a cough so i took medicine but it only got worse. I cough at least every 4 minutes and this week my nose started running and i started getting headaches and my throat felt like it was closing up. I have been going to school since August 20. I'm just wondering could this get very serious and what illness i could get from being exposed to the mold for so long. Help me please!!! I can't take it much longer. I feel horrible.
Thanks Alot!!!!

Before I had allergy desensitation shots, I was allergic to the smell of skunk. It would burn like fire and I would break out in hives and lose my voice. I was afraid that I ever ran over a skunk with the car that my throat would swell shut. Does anyone else have allergy problems with skunk smell?

I love eating jackfruit. Or so I did, before I began having allergic reactions to it.

At first I thought it had to do with eating frozen jackfruit, but during the summer I ate some fresh ones and that came out 10x worse; my lips were a little swollen and my throat puffed up a lot.

What the heck is in jackfruits that's triggering the allergy, but I can't seem to find a source with answers. I mean, I ate it before and never got any reactions. Erg!

ok, i'm 18 and in college, so this is kinda new to me. i have eaten a lot of pumpkin seed the last 2 days, and i realized that i have a case of constipation, so i've stopped eating the seeds. but today, when i went to the bathroom, i found that my feces had dark red spots of blood along the surface. so my question is this: do you think it was just from the constipation, or should i call my doctor?

I love salt! Potatoe chips, bacon, chicken noodle soup, cheez, shrimp... If someone told me I would never eat sweet again I would be fine, but take any of those away and I would cry. I even eat salt crystals like candy sometimes! I drink a ton of water, a few liters a day, I eat organic, no MSG or nitrates and nitrites, I have slightly elevated BP 125/75, I had a heart scan, the one where they take pictures from every side and it was fine. I know this has got to be bad for me, but I have no idea how to stop. HELP!
