I have a few questions about short term memory loss. I think I may have it but I'm not really sure. I always forget things, and never remember where I put stuff. Most of my family can tell I have memory problems but I'm not very sure if I do. I think it would be a waste of time to go to the doctors to get a proper diagnosis just because it's not that serious. Are there any dead on questions I could ask myself to be sure or more positive that I do have suffer from short term memory loss? My other question is, is there a fancy medical term for short term memory loss?

I have been doing research as to why I keep getting hives, and weird swellings popping up randomly around my body such as my arms, legs, feet and hands. I have been to the doctors, they can't seem to find anything wrong with me. Then I found out about HAE. I am shocked because almost every symptom presented within the reading I had done describes my problems. I have had problems with my feet for over a year now. At least 4 or 5 times per month, for at least 72 hours per time, my feet swell up so bad and it becomes almost unbearable to walk. I literally have to walk on the sides of my feet, and can't even leave my house. I am sick of feeling like this, and I want answers. Since the doctors can seem to give me none, I am setting out on a joruney to find answers for myself, and then maybe I will have something to present to the doctor for him to go on. Pretty sad that doctors make so much money yet they fail to do their job to really earn what they make. Any information is appreciated!

Does anyone know what this might be and what causes it? When it happens all I can see is bright white cloudiness. It usually goes away within a minute, but it has lasted up to five minutes on some occasions.

I know you can get HIV/AIDS from an infected person, but what if you exchange body fluids (example: blood) with an unifected person?

Please forgive me for my lack of knowledge on the subject. Nevertheless, it would be nice if you don't post any smartypants/smart-*** answers or responses. Danke. Merci. Thank you.

I've had two swollen lymph nodes on my neck for about a year now and I went to my doctor who told me to see an ENT. I went to the first ENT and they said it was an artery, so I went back to my original doctor and told them they said it was an artery and nothing about a swollen lymph node. I then went to see a second ENT who said it was nothing and I'm most likely just fighting an infection(everyone says this but since they've been swollen for so long I don't think I am). I also have been very fatigued and have been coughing where it hurts and feels like pressure on my chest. I've found things about Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and I think this could be a possibilty? I'm nervous to ask my doctor incase they think I'm overreacting, and my mom doesn't really like to talk about it. I feel shes scared theres more wrong with me than we've found out. Any help and opinions or past experiences are welcomed. Also if you have NHL, can you say what symptoms sent you to the doctors for it?
