I'm only 17 years old and I've had this problem for a while now (probably a couple of years) but my heart hurts sometimes. I don't know how to describe except for that it just starts hurting and if i move my left arm the pain will somewhat spike or if i breath in.

Please Read - I am 24, 6'3", a white athletic male. In 2004 I was diagnosed by a family doctor to have elevated hemoglobin, too much iron and protein in my urine. He quickly thought I had Polycythemia Vera and sent me on to a hemotologist. Two months later when I visited the hemotologist he told me he didn't know what I had but he thought it definitely ISN'T Polycythemia Vera. He strongly urged me to quit smoking and follow up with him. Shortly after I was wrongfully fired from my job and lost my insurance. I stupidly never followed up with anyone from that day on. Still today, 3 years later, I have not quit smoking either. (I have Chantix which I will try in November.) Also, lately weird things happen. I get that "funny bone" buzzing pain in my hands and feet if I squeeze them strangely, like I have too much blood. I sometimes have hour-long sneezing fits that feel "blood-swollen" in my sinuses. I get random itchy "bite"-looking rash marks that disappear in hours. What should I do?

sandwich at lunch. What would you do?
My son is protected under Title 504 in a public school for his severe peanut allergy. It has been a long road, but my son is very aware of his allergy and of the people around him and to avoid anyone with peanut butter. Our decision as a family was not to isolate our son at a peanut free table (which basically does not exist at the school...he theoretically would be sitting by himself.)
Today he tells me that a girl was purposely taunting him with peanut butter after he told her that he could possibly die if he ingested any. She held a sandwich in the air close to his face and waved it in a circle and yelled "oooooo" ... My son and a friend told the teacher after lunch what she had done and the girl was called aside privately and spoken to.
Should I take any more action with the school? A phone call? A letter to the teacher? What would you do?

I heard it on the knews, and I am most anxious and frightened;;
I'm sure many of you have also heard about MRSA on the news recently. I know it's Bacteria and not a virus. :\ I don't need a lecture.

I just need to know the different ways you can get it,
So I can steer clear of it and keep myself aware and avoid it.

Thanks so much!
Peace and love <3

He is a highschool FB player. 2 other players were diagnosed with staph about the same time in August; and they had recently had recurrence of MRSA. The eye doctor is convinced that it is Stye, and not likely MRSA - despite the history.

I have tried all the things I've read online, high fiber diet, enzymes, all that jazz. But still, every time I eat I feel awful for the next (at least) two hours. I feel nauseous almost all the time, and I have heartburn like crazy. Anyone know if there's anything I can do before I resort to medication of some kind? Or could there be some issue my body's having with no gall bladder? I mean, they tell you you don't need one after all, but I've felt l pretty awful for as long as I can remember.

I'd really love a somewhat professional opinion. The surgeon I speak with periodically says this is all normal and that he can give me some pills for the discomfort, but I really don't want to be taking synthetic drugs for the rest of my life. Especially being only 23, that seems pretty ridiculous. Anyone in medical school or some doctor bored at his/her desk? Please let me know. Thanks so much...VERY appreciated!

I'm 26, not overweight, and have always eaten a low salt diet. I do exercise some jogging at least 20 miles a week in addition to hiking and other activities. I don't believe I'm overly stressed. I've tried cutting my salt further to below 1000mg a day to no avail.

My blood pressure is 135/75 meaning I have pre-hypertension, but based on my family history, I will have hypertension at the rate I'm going.

As you can guess i have extreme drandruff now i have had it for a few years now, yes years, and i want RID! I have been to the doctor loads of times and now am just fed-up. I have tryed loads of shampoo from head and shoulder to Nizoral Shampoo to T-Gel. Nothing works. a short description would be that my hair gets really hard, tought almost to put my hands through and drandruff pours out and it gets everywhere, eyebrowns clothes without even touching it. Now the shampoos just seem to make my hair softer, but drandruff pours out like snow just by touching my hair even after washing everyday. I did think that i was deficiency but for a while now i have been having vitamin tablets and no improvement. I do not use hair products like gel, nor do i have emxa. I really need some help.
Thanks in advance
