For about 2 weeks now, I've had a constant need to itch myself. It's not in one area either. It'll be my legs, my stomach, my arms, etc. What could this be?

deficiency. However I have antithyroid antibodies, does this mean that my hypothyroidism isn't caused by iodine deficiency therefore I should not take it? I read on thyroidabout.com that taking sea kelp can make matters worse. Anyone taking it or has taken it and what are your thoughts on it?

My hair have been gradually turning grey since I was 16. I would say now about 20% of my hair, particularly on my right side are grey. Recently my doctor also found that I have an enlarged nodule on my thyroid. This nodule is slightly hyperactive (I am not losing any weight) but other than that my thyroid is under control and I am not taking any meds.
I have been coloring/highlighting my hair except for the past 9 mos. I have been letting them grow naturally.
I have noticed that some of my hair are banded (dark pigment banded with much lighter/greying pigment) Kinda like cat's hair.
I also found a couple of hairs that are grey at the tips!!! not the roots. The roots are black.In fact, most of those hairs are black except the tips.
Now I am not sure if some of my grey hair are turning black again, or are they greying at tips instead of roots???
I had much stress last year but I am much better now. Again, I am taking no meds of any kind.
Any clues?

He has to return to hospital soon to have the bone put back in. And is thinking hes not going to make it. Is this operation life threatening? we keep telling him hes come though the hard part and that just made him stronger. No way he will die in his next op.

My grandpa is on chemo right now and I want to get him something he can use for christmas. He doesn't really like to watch anything right now because it makes him dizzy so no t.v. or reading. What did everybody else do. I thought about books on tape maybe he's very religous and he can't really read his bible right now. It might be too high tech though. He's also having a hard time sleeping. Any ideas?

Can someone get infected these types of disease if he/she eats foods (from restaurants or cafes) like salad, fresh fruits or fruit juices or sweet dishes where heat is not involved. Recently I got an e-mail saying that a boy got infected with AIDS after eating pipeapple which he bought on his way home from a vendor (the vendor is an AID patient and he had a cut on his finger while cutting the pineapple and his blood spread into the fruit)

Ok, red rash on his belly, flaky, scabby skin, hair loss, horrible fleas. I used baby oil on his dry skin (vet recommended). dawn on fleas (also vet recommended). Also, I use advantage, but they still aren't going away, and I don't bathe him a lot. I already know that will dry out his skin more. He already has a vet appointment, but if anyone knows what could be wrong with him let me know. thanx

My son was diagnose with a UTI earlier this month. We stayed in the hospital for 2 days. He was given antibiotics. Well, he is scheduled for an x-ray tomorrow. To see if he has a bladder reflux. His ultrasound came out normal. However, this is the thing I am asking. His urine is smelling more awful (sign of infection), really sensitive to wipes or anything touching him around his "thingy". Now, do you think his UTI got much worse and should I notify his doctor when we go to get his x-ray...or should I just leave it alone? I don't know what to do.

Hello everyone. I am 35 and 5 years ago I had small intestinal cancer. It spread to my ovaries. I went through chemo and had a complete hysterectomy 5 years ago. Well after having good ct scans for the last 4 years I have 4 small spots on my right lung that came back positive for cancer. So now I have to start chemo again. I am so scared I am going to die. My bloodwork is fine. I feel fine. I hate this. Anyone have any input for me???

I had just recently observed that I had more beauty marks on my body and other areas of my body that were never there before. Is there a skin condition where they just appear like crazy or is it just me?

My husband occasionally would get an irregular heartbeat but lately it is becoming more frequent. I've listened to his chest & it sounds like it beats normally for about 5 or 6 beats & then beats really fast for 3 beats or so. He's been tested for the stress test & had to wear a heart monitor for a day (a few months ago) but the tests didn't reveal any irregularities. He wants to go see a specialist. Anyone know what this could be?

How about everyone with AIDS has to get a permanent tattoo on a specific spot say around the waist? This way you can tell if they have aids. It wouldnt completly stop the spread but maybe slow it down.
