How long does it last? What can be done to get over it besides taking pills? Is it hereditary? Does that mean my kids will have it as well?
Please help

I feel as though something is crawling under my skin, primarily in my left calf and also in the toes of my left foot. What gives? It is the most annoying sensation. Anything I can do for it?

I want something that is light and non-greasy, yet which will give me adequate protection against sunburn that I'm prone to.

If possible, please mention the cost of it, too.

Can I use it on my body as well?

Thanks!

Hi everyone.


My friend has walking problems, he is only 35 and when he walks for long distances he claims that his legs feel heavy and his balance is all off.

He tends to lean to one side like one leg is shorter than the other sometimes.

He has no pain when he walks, it is very strange.

Does anyone know what this could be?

I had blood work done about a month ago and my blood glucose level was 107 and I hadnt eaten in 10 hours since I had to fast for the testing. Im overweight at the moment , currently 225 and only 5'3 but I also dont have any other family members who have diabetes so any insight would be great since Im not sure what to expect at my follow up next week.

I was tested for hiv with a urine test. It came back negative but it took 26 days to get the result. It took so long because their is no lab in my state that can test for hiv with urine, so it had to go to an out of state lab. Would the sample have been degraded by that time, or can I count on the result as accurate?

My dad has been battling melanoma for about 2 years now. Everything was in remission. We thought it was all ok. About 2 months ago, he started having major pains in his abdomen. We found out yesterday his cancer is back and has spread everywhere. They are telling me it is in his pancreas, so it's like he has pancreatic cancer. They are calling in hospice now. He is going to come and stay with me because I will not let him go into a hospice home. I have an 8 year old and a 2 month old baby. They are telling me he has anywhere from 1 week to 5 months to live. My question is how bad physically is he going to get. Right now, he can walk around and eat (although he doesn't eat because it hurts him too bad). So is he going to end up just lying in a bed all the time not being able to move? Is he going to be throwing up alot? Bowel movements in the bed? Become unaware of what is going on around him?

I have all the signs of a UTI. Burning down there...urge to go but nothing comes out. Its not that severe, yet. But recently I saw traces of light pink blood when I went to the rr. What could that be? Also, will drinking lots of water and taking AZO be enough...or do i really have to go see a doc?

Ok so I have heard from several people at school about this new book. The Zombie Guide or something? Anyway, it was written by a "Dr. Max Brooks". He is said to have found this virus called "Solanum" which infects a human and turns them into a zombie in 20-24hrs.

So people are really into this and they are all talking about some upcoming invasion? The word is that some one is trying to steal it and release it?

I dont know about all that. When ever i looked up the "virus" it came up with types of the virus that affect plants. Can some one explain this chaos?

I'm a little bugged here and yes it makes my pressure rise :) But seriously here is the deal.

I'm up and about doing normal daily stuff. I stop sit down, feet flat on the floor relax for 2-3 minutes, take my pressure it is usually about 135-140 over 96-95. I know, by AMA standards this is high, but not so fast Okay, got that so far?

Now I go into my bedroom, at any time during day, lie flat on my back, meditate, breath steady for about 5 minutes or so, then take my reading. Now it is almost always 110-115 over 70-77.

So what is the verdict here. Am I a high blood pressure kinda guy or what?

I know, I know, it ranges, but what measurement type determines, high, or noormal. totally relaxed on one's back, or up and about doing normal daily tasks?

Over a year ago, i found my head was sore and then found lumps forming on it. First on the right side, then on the left… they finally reached each other to form some type of crease all around my head. I found this odd so I got the doctors to check it out and after a CAT Scan and skull x-ray, they found nothing and put it aside. I then also got diagnosed with migraines. After a while, the lumps disappeared on the left, but now they are back and seem to be tender again. Sometimes my migraines seem to be formed within them or right under them. Can someone give their opinion?

My father was recently diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. We all knew this was bound to happen because of the history in our family (my dad, his brother, 3 of his sisters, his dad, his dad, and so on). My grandpa suffered immensily from diabetes in his old age. I don't want my father to do the same but as I don't live at home with him, I can't really follow up on his habits. However, I am pretty positive I will end up with diabetes as well. I really don't know what to avoid in my diet and I'm starting to work out. No one in my family is overweight. We actually are all tall and skinny in our family so I'm not sure what we are doing wrong. I guess any information to help me and my father avoid suffering the same way my grandpa did would be great.

One thing that might be a major problem is that I drink Makers Mark and coke on a regular basis....its my favorite drink! If this isn't good for diabetes is there a tasty alternative when hanging with my friends at the bar?

Is it possible that a virus (in theory, doesnt have to exist yet) mutate the hell out of you? Like you see in movies like resident-evil and such...
