I have extremely bad joint pain in my right elbow, shoulder, hip, lower back, and fingers that come and go. With just a little bit of cold for a short time I lose circulation in my hands and feet and they turn blue then white. I have a swollen lymph node on my left side of my neck that wont dissappear and its been 7 months. I have a small nickel size rash on my scalp that has been with me for about 5 years it is scaley and red and raised. I was tested for Lupus 8 years ago and it was positive, tested about a year ago and negative. My grandmother died of Lupus and it just seems to be fitting the bill. I am a little scared and very painful. Just want some ideas here.

why is there so many food allergies these days?
when I was growing up, peanuts were never thought of allergic reactions.

Is it the pollution in the air?
Indoor lighting?
hormons in milk?
fast food?

what is causing this?

My son is an athlete and recently like so many athletes
have been dealing with this problem. It started out with
minor itching so he proceeded to use over the counter stuff
for weeks without relief. It got worse and he started itching
in his palms as well. Then we realized after showers or minor
contact with the skin such as rubbbing he would develop
long welts on his arms or chest or neck in some places.
Went to the doctor and now is on oral pills for fungus. Has anyone else experienced athletes foot to this extreme. Been taking the pills now for weeks and these welts are still happening some times . When he scratches his palms it
looks like round lesions under the skin. He is so aggravated
and frustrated with the whole thing. Any suggestions?

If I eat so much as a single orange section, my whole mouth tingles and stings within a few seconds. It starts on the roof of my mouth and then spread to the rest of my mouth. This has happened to me since I was a child. Weird thing is I am not allergic to other citrus fruits such as lemons, limes or grapefruit.

There are alot of people asking if it works for newly formed stretch marks, but I only have old ones. I know that the only thing that will make them disappear completely is surgery, but will Mederma (or anything else) make several years old stretch markes less noticable?

They range from very small to MASSIVE.

In the past week..
when i breathe in, my body doesn't feel like i'm breathing properly.. so when i breathe in, before i breathe out i normally keep breathing in so it feels like im breathing properly,
but its starting to get worse.
And someone said that it might be mini panic attacks?
And someone said that it might be my heart having a spasm?

Does anyone know what this problem sounds like please?Because i told my mother and she just said its probably mini panic attacks and i just got to calm down, but im not sure, and i wouldn't feel right asking her to take me to my DR. Because i dont think its that serious.

Anyone have idea's what this might be?

Thanks xx

I ask because I have a son who was terminally ill with leukemia. I believe he was overdosed with morphine. I know the dosages he was given but am trying to find out if he was given too much. His breathing was extremely slowed. I feel like maybe it did not all happened legitimaly or legally.

I hope someone can help me... My mother had a Cardiac Cathiterization this past week but they couldn't help her because she has many blockages and it seems that her heart has made a Natural Bypass on it's own, the Dr wouldn't touch her, he said it was too risky. We have to wait and see a vascular Dr and see if he can open up the blockages in her groin area, she may need bypasses on her legs but her heart can't handle any kind of surgery right now.
I need someone to give me a web site or something where I can find information. I've searched but I can't seem to find anything on a persons heart doing it's own bypass. Thank you

When I was a kid in the 1950' & 60's, we had an enormous number of children in our neighborhood. The schools were overflowing with kids. Yet not one child had a peanut allergy. We all ate PB&J sandwiches and other peanut products all the time. Not one occurrance of this allergy. Now it seems like everyone I ask knows at least one person suffering from it. It just seems odd. Where did all of these cases come from? Some say it was always around but I am sure we would have heard about a kid dropping dead from eating a peanut.
