The headache is accompanied by nausea and I always feel like I'm gonna have diarrhea but never actually have it. What could be the matter? I have the headache as soon as I wake up and it lasts the whole day. It's not an accute one but dull and constant. The backs of my thighs and calves also get sore, like when you have really bad diarrhoea.

How rare does a medical condition have to be to be considered rare? I'm hoping for an answer like an x number of cases, or incidences/100,000 or x/1,000,000 etc. I am asking both for the technical answer and for opinions as well.

At first I though I had a cold, and then it turned into a mutated Bronchitis & Laryngitis. The mucus coughed up was incredibly thick and grass green. I had no fever, but maybe a 99.4. The cough has been there for over 2 weeks. I just found out about the virus through my fiancé and looked it up online. I didn't/don't have the fever. I had also done prior research about bronchitis, which all websites agreed that after a cold you are more likely to get an upper respiratory infection like bronchitis and then pneumonia. Especially if you are or live with(I do) a smoker. I don't have insurance so I question my health before going to a doctor, or the forbidden "ER"! I am in the heath care field(SRNA) and I know I could have easily caught it. I had the swollen lumps on the side and everything. That is also symptoms of Bronchitis and Pneumonia. Does anyone know more on it. I'm 20yrs. old, and I know it could easily kill me. Ps. please keep in mind I do have OCD so don't freak me out too much!

I had a small procedure done today and the nurses and doctors were concerned about my resting heart rate before the procedure it was 52bpm after the procedure 48bpm I was told that, that is low and I should be going to my GP and having further tests done. I am wondering if this could be the cause of my constant fatigue? Has anyone else been through this? What could be causing it? I do exercise a lot and have noticed on the machines that my heart rate doesn't go up as high as it used to.

Earlier tonight I experienced a very strange, sudden wave of confusion which was followed by a ringing in my ears. I've also noticed that my lip is somewhat bitten . I'm pretty sure I was conscious the whole time and I am 100% sure I took my meds.

This is not my usual 'aura' (feeling I get before a seizure) and I've had 4 tonic-clonic / grand mal seizures starting last August.

Also, if I experience my 'aura' and I don't have a gran mal, does it mean I had a petit mal or just what does it mean?

Any advice is GREATLY apreciated. Thanks.

ive had this lump under my skin on my right temple for a long time, id hate to guess how long and have it b wrong if that makes a difference in anyones answer, but ill just say like 4 months or so. sometimes its not so visible because it would b small enough that the skin wouldnt buldge out much, but its popped a few times now and some blood and pus comes out but it always heals up somewhat smaller but never acually goes away. it hurts too, but only when its irritated from popping. when its not irritated and i touch it its like i can feel it moving around under the skin like its just full of some fluid that just doesnt want to leave. im probably gonna go to a dermatologist at this point to figure it out once and for all i just hope its nothing serious, because i also have something like this going on between my eyebrows now that ive popped a few times now and its gotten much smaller, all i can describe it as is cystic acne, or a boil or a carbuncle, i just hope its nothing more serious

My aunt was a young, healthy adult admitted to the hospital for a routine procedure, six weeks later she had passed. there was a lot of descrepancy regarding her care and also the events leading to her death. in one example; she was infected with a rare disease which spread through her entire body. the origin of infection was found to be her spine, shortly following a spinal tap performed by the hospital against my family's instruction. no autopsy was performed, at the time my grandmother was upset and did not request one. her body was cremated and i was wondering if there was any possiblity of investigating this further, despite this obstacle.

About a year ago I got this unknown scar on my leg, I had no idea what it was from. Its about three inches long and bumpy, like a dotted line. It hadn't caused any problems until about a week ago when it started itching really bad and I realized I had more than just that one "scar." It is obviously not a scar but instead something that has spread to my knee and ankle. I itch it until it stops and when it heals again, the itching continues. Any suggestions?

I've been sick for what seems about a month & a half. I've had some sinus pressure, hacking cough, sore throat, and the ocassional dizzy spell. The doctor prescribed me a z-pack. It took most of my symptoms away except for the cough. After a finishing the meds, all of the symptoms came back, and hit me hard once again. So I called in and had him call me in some more meds, this time cipro. I took that, and felt better for about 4 days, and now it's all back again. I don't have health insurance right now, so the less I have to go to the doctor the better. The way I'm feeling right now isn't a "I need to stay in bed all day" feeling. But I have this chronic sore throat, cough, sinus thing, and nothing over the counter helps. And being a singer, this is really frustrating. A side note, I had a bad reaction to mold at one point a few years ago, and I just found some mold living in a brita picture I'm using. I know it's gross, but could this have anything to do with it? Thanks!!
