I used regular deodorant for years, but now I have an allergy. I found a few deos that don't have aluminum, but---let's just say, I'm not satisfied.
Does anyone else have this problem? Does anyone know a better alternative?
Thanks.

About halfway across the right side of my face, below my jaw line, under my skin, I feel something under my skin (not popping out, you can only feel it if you press it hard enough) and It's about the size of a hazelnut, and when you push it, it kind of goes aside.

I have no serious medical history, neither do my parents or grandparents. Thank you for your help!

I had pneumonia and went to the hospital. They treated me and I left. A week later they told me to take an albuterol inhaler for two months everyday, every 4 hours. Ever since then I've been having asthma attacks and never had a sign of one before. I used to be a runner and now I couldn't make a mile if I tried. By the way, the pneumonia felt nothing like the asthma.

I'm debating on buying cancer insurance. I am not sure once I get diagnosed with cancer if my insurance will pay for cancer treatment, chemo, etc. I looked on the website and can't find any exclusions for cancer treatment.

My Grandma was diagnosed with Lung Cancer on Oct.1st, 2007. She had 2 sessions of Chemo and gave up. She is now scary-skinny, and very weak. She is on oxygen, and my grandma is now going to be seeing a hospice nurse. She knows her time is soon, with the cancer spreading to her liver and she is only 63! How can i stop feeling sad. (see my aim profile: Norfolk 722). If you can, email me or Instant message me with ways to cope. She is my best friend, and i dont think i can humanely cope with her soon-to-be- loss.

thanks,

I have had a fast heart beat on and off for a couple of months now. It happens to me two times.
#1 - When I am getting ready for bed as well as when I'm trying to fall asleep. I am not nervous or anxious about anything. My heart doesn't beat fast every night, just now and then.

#2 - During or after I am eating, my heart will beat fast. It generally does NOT happen after breakfast, usually after lunch or dinner. I have especially noticed this occurring when I have to go longer than normal before I eat.

I read online about something called Tachycardia, I wonder if that is it? I have no clue.

liver. He is in the 4th stage. But he thinks he's going home on Monday, then eventually comming back to work. 2 questions.
1. Should I go along with his dreams or is there really a chance?
2. Am I so saddened because we both partied together for all those years and it could be me that's dying?

How would you fell, or what would you do if:


Hypothetically, if you were to be diagnosed as having a "large" benign fluid filled "cyst" within your spinal cord. This "mass" spans the length of 6 vertebrae. It is due to a trauma that you are sure of (so no genetic mutations or anything). This "cyst" can grow at any range of speeds, yours speed not yet determined, its growth is almost always vertical. The only treatment other than pain killers ( and crossing your fingers)for life, is a surgical procedure with a 50% success rate. To be clear, it is presumed that you should talk to your doctor.
If it were you, how would you respond to this diagnosis?
