I posted recently about my 13 year old daughter who suffers constant headaches all day, every day. For months now.
A CT scan showed no infection in her sinuses...although most of the pain appears to be above her eyes, under her eyes and near her temples.
The headaches cause painful earaches (although her ears are okay) daily.
Tonight she complained of sore eyes. She said they felt puffy and her eyes stung!
I have been taken her to a doctor who does not know what's causing it... he ran a blood test yesterday although I'm unsure what that will show??
Poor thing is suffering EVERY day...
The 'eye thing' is a new symptom though.
Any ideas what could be causing all this??

It is not stress, overtiredness, hunger etc...we have ruled all those out.

I know when ones sugar levels drop to 2.4 or 3 one goes into a diabetic coma.... The 'normal' is 5 to 7 more or less.
When one goes over to 15 to 30 for example what are the possible consequenses. I'm asking this question because my mother is a diabetic and she always trys to keep her level down to a minimum.... The result is that if she misses one biscuit at the wrong time she goes out//// which is a problem because she's 86 and the last time she fractured her hip after falling over.
I'm trying to convince her eat more and go more over the top because at least that way she wont pass out. Also the Doctors keep "experimenting" with her does's.... which doesn't help matters.... but I feel they are just trying to get "thier" graph's perfect.... and not worry if she pass'es out. thanks in advance D;

I have been sick on and off for a few weeks suffering from sulfur burps, and stomach pain. I went to the Dr. who gave me Prevacid but this makes it worse as it is lowering my acid and preventing digestion. I get a bitter taste in my mouth. If I burp I vomit.

Please give me some cures for this. I cant live like this. I have a 15 month old to care for. I'm pleading for some advice.

Nicorette is a nicotine replacement remedy. But has it been shown that it can potentially be carcinogenic? I can't find any info on the packaging.

I also want to ask like if the problem is the stomach, what symptoms can i experience? i don't vommit and this problem has been there for a year now and had tried so many tests like sonars and took many medications but nothing changing it. Please help cos i have ran out of ideas now and even quited school.

For women aged 18-24, systolic bp (in mmHg) are normally distributed with a mean of 114.8 and a standard deviation of 13.1. Hypertension is commonly defined as systolic blood pressure above 140.

If 10 women aged 18-24 are randomly selected, what is the probability their mean systolic blood pressure is greater than 140?

I have these soft purple bumps on the inside of my thigh. They are a little less than a half inch in diameter. When they first appear, they look like they have a white center or a head. When I try to pop it, nothing comes out. The center is now black. They end up going away. I also get them on the sides of my torso. They are definitely not zits. Also, they can not be an STD because I am not sexually active.

I get strep throat pretty often, but I don't remember my throat ever hurting this bad. It hurts to drink water. I can't eat anything because it hurts to bad. Would this be strep throat or something else? Also, my mom had strep throat a few days ago/last week, so that's why I think it is strep throat, I don't have any $$$ to go to the doctor, so I am taking the medicine she has left over, but will this help? Or do I have to the doc anyways...like I said...I don't have the money to go for them to say "yep...you have strep throat..." and give me a prescription (which I also wouldnt be able to afford). So should I just keep taking the meds they gave her, or what? Thanks in advance!

Also, I am 19, so my mom won't pay for it...I take care of everything I get..

Raising Awareness is part of my daily lifestyle.

I want to know how many of you get tested yearly for HIV/AIDS?

I want to know why you do or don't do it.

If you aren't sexually active at all then this question does not pertain to you but, I want people to be encouraged to go get checked even if they know they are clean! :)

If you think this is a good awareness and question (which might turn into a debate) then i'd like a star! Thanks guys and GO GET CHECKED!!!!

My friend has Recurrent Tonsillitis that occurs at least 3 times a year.

When it happens she gets Acute tonsillitis: characterized by a sudden sore throat, difficult or painful swallowing, tender lymph nodes in the jaw and neck, and, occasional airway obstruction.

Her doctor suggested tonsillectomy but she is apprehensive about it and would like to find out more about alternative permanent cures (if there are any)..

Many thanks in advance for your advice! ^,^)/
