I have never really had allergies. Besides bee stings, poison ivy, and slight seasonal allergies. However I just moved 8 hours from home and am now in Iowa and my eyes keep swelling up and I don't know why. Its nothing to do with makeup or anything like that and when I talked to my grandma about it she said it could be stress induces which makes sense because every time it has happened I have been extremely stressed and usually to the point of crying. In fact whenever I cry its about 10x worse but the strange thing is that its only around my eyes mostly. Every once in a while the rest of my face will get puffy and ill have a fews red blotches on my face but nowhere else. Does anyone know if it is stress induced or what I should do about it? When I went to the doctor, all he said was it seems you've had an allergic reaction to something but most of the time you'll never know what causes it.

A relative of mine recently had a colonoscopy and the doctor removed one polyp during the procedure. The doctor is going to test the polyp to see if it is cancerous. My question is, if the polyp is cancerous what does that mean for his future, will he have to take chemotherapy or take medication?

I feel like I am crazy but sitting makes my knee feel heavy, tingly (like it is falling asleep), and warm. I also have the sensation in my wrist and elbow if I am writing a lot. If I stand or walk it is better for a bit but returns when I am sitting. I went to the DR and Chiropractor and nobody knows what it is. They are testing my liver and thyroid and sending me for an MRI. If anyone else has this, or knows what I should be asking the DR for please let me know.

I have found other strings with the same symptoms but they are old and have no real answers.

thanks

I had unprotected sex in a momgamous relationship about 12 years ago. My girlfriend at the time said she was clean and had only been with one other guy who was a virgin when they were together. I have not had unprotected sex since then.

What are the chances of me having an STD if I have no symptoms what so ever? By no symptoms I mean nothing. No bumps, burning, anything at all. I have no reason to believe I am anything but clean. I am getting tested next week just to make sure. I was just curious if it is possible to have anything without knowing it.
