Diabetics get thirsty sometimes, but what can you do on a really bad thirst. Will metformin or other medications have any effect on reducing it

I am 38 now but have had an issue with my eyelid swelling since I was about 16. I went to the eye dr back in the day and she said it's has nothing to do the the eye but rather the eyelid. She said that there are bump on the inside of my eyelid that seems to be inflamed all the time and that something is making more inflamed from time to time which makes the lids swell, sometime even closes the eye completly. This seems to happen more when I am ill or my ammune system is down. Does anyone know what is cuasing this or how to get the swelling down quickly.

Hello there. For the past 9-10 years, I have had a thick mucus buildup in my throat. I have gone to my doctor multiple times to diagnose it, and he always tells me that it is due to dry air. I turn my heaters down or rarely use them, and I leave my windows open. Even though I did this, the problem still persisted. I found out later, that when I drink whole milk the mucus build up increases, so I switched to fat free milk/skim milk, but the mucus problem still persisted. When I am at home, the mucus problem is at its worse, but when I am somewhere else, it does not even come up. There has not been a day where I have not coughed up mucus. My doctors tell me the same thing each time I visit them and prescribe the same medicine, but it does not help. When I run, I feel the same thing. My nose is also clogged with mucus, and when I blow it out there is sometimes blood in it. (I do not pick my nose.) Please help, I am tired of this affecting me,it is affecting my breathing. I do not smoke.

My son is three years old, and he's had his cough for three weeks now. It's a productive cough which means it's producing phlem and mucous. I've had mixed advice about giving him "milk" while he still has his cough. One parent says Not to because it will cause the phlem and mucous worse, and one parents says it's ok that the milk will cause some phlem but not to worry about it causing the cough worse. What have you heard about this? Or what is your experience on this? Any help/advice/suggestions will be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Other than the redness and crust, I have no other symptoms of pinkeye but was wondering if I still had it. I dont think I have pus (If I did, I didn't notice it), and my eye feels perfectly normal. It doesn't itch or feel irritated at all, and I was wondering if it was possible that I just woke up with a really crusty eye. If you think I do have it, can you please let me know the best way to cure it on my own without prescriptions or antibiotics? Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it!

In the case of Type 2 diabetes, what chemical imbalances in the body causes fatigue? What are the causes for the calf and shoulder muscles to ache? Are there natural supplements to correct these imbalances?

Seven days( Sunday night) ago a fever came upon me and I started vomiting and having diarrhea .
At one point the fever reached up to 102.7.
By Wed. morning the fever had broken, and the vomiting stopped.
What hasn't stopped is the severe , explosive, watery diarrhea.
I am in the bathroom at least 10-15 times a day.
Just drinking water sends me in there.
I am now terribly dizzy and weak.
I do not have any health ins. and I'm wondering if this is something that will pass with time, or if I need to seek medical care.
P. S. I am staying hydrated using Gatorade.

Do they really want to cure a disease, or just prolong things to make money?
