I am ok with Metformin alone I take 6 tablets 500mg each a day but since being prescribed 80mg Gliclazide I have now experienced symptoms that are similar to hypos. I usually take Gliclazide at lunch time but quite a while before it comes to having a evening meal I experience severe shaking and a clammy feeling, I have to devour chocolate to overcome the feeling which has now made me put on weight. Surely this can't be good. The reason I was put on this tablet was to reduce my overall sugar count which at the time was 7.7 mmol/l. If anyone else is on this tablet or knows about it and could give me some advice ie. change the time I take it or how I can control it better I would be ever so grateful.

I was diagnosed with diverticulosis, after a colonoscopy. The symptoms I have are chronic constipation with bloating. I see that the symptoms are the same for IBS. I am wondering if there are two different names for the same condition?

so when we were together and had intercourse, he had to go to the doctor for a bump on his pubic area...and while we were together he had said that it was because of me but then said just joking. well he called me just now and said that he lied to me, that it is because of me, because the last time we had intercourse it came back.

but the thing is, we had intercourse often..very often!...and he only got the bump twice....

now i go to the doctor very often. i get blood tests and urine tests, just for a regualr check up...so if i had something wouldnt they have found it already from the blood and urine tests????

i get such horrible headaches all the time. ive missed so much school in the past year from them. i dont think theyre allergies..i dont really have allergies. i dont think its lighting or anything..i dont have sensative eyes. i went to the doctor and explained everything [more than once..] and hes an idiot. he just tells me that im fine and im a hypochondriac and quit worrying because theyre *probably nothing.[note the probably. heh.] he always tells me theres nothing wrong with me and turns out there is. i mean, hes a smart guy..its just, idk.

im just terrified of a brain tumor or something. i know this girl who always got headaches all the time and they did some tests and found out she had a brain tumor in the back of her head. it makes me wonder if something like that is wrong with me and by the time they find it itll be too late because my doctors so dumb:/ :[

please help. what else could they be? i get them EVERYDAY. no exageration.

[ps]-just for reference, im 16

I'm doing some research on intentionally inflicting/ or desiring to become infected with HIV. I found an estimate that 25% of new HIV cases among gay men were INTENTIONALLY contracted! I was shocked! Do you think the intentional tranmission of a disease should be criminalized? (It is in about 25 states.) What should our public policy be regarding health care for these individuals?

I was 57 when I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer in February 2004. I had a partial mastectomy and 5 lymph nodes removed, followed by 6 months of chemotherapy and 6 weeks radiation. I have only met 3 other women who were ER negative out of the hundreds of women I have met since I began this journey. So much is written about and for women who are ER positive and the medicines that have been created for them. Is there information out there for women like me? Thankyou!

I became lactose intolerant a couple years ago. At first I was fine after eliminating milk and ice cream from my diet. Over time it's gotten worse and have had to cut out all types of cheese, sour cream, cream cheese, ranch dressing, anything made with powdered milk like cocoa mix or boxed macaroni and cheese. I've tried lactaid and lactose-free milk and get the same symptoms (nausea, bloating, stomach ache). Can anyone suggest what might be wrong since lactose intolerance isn't the full issue? Because even dairy without any lactose or with lactase additives to help digest it still makes me sick. I know I need to stick to a very strict diet but its really hard since so many things are made with whey, milk solids, powdered milk, etc.

He is 55 yrs. old and developed this allergy 20 yrs ago. He has since had to give up favorite foods such as bacon, ham, sausage etc. I get concerned being in a restaurant that serves breakfast all day because I dont know how well the grills are cleaned..Im afraid he may get an attack & would have to be rushed to the emergency. Is there a way around these preservatives? Are fresh sausage safe for him to eat, I heard Organic Markets are now available and do they carry meats? Any information would be greatly appreciated, Sometimes even the heavy smell of bacon can trigger an attack & I am very worried, and concerned.. Thank You.
