My mother has been diagnosed with weird illness , or least in her point of view. Her symptoms changes in months which is an odd thing, she takes regular painkiller the hospital has given her. They gave it to her thinking that theres something wrong with her ribcage when she inhales.

My mom tells me she has daily chest pains and that she feels her breath is shorten when she inhales, when she inhales it seems that her lung is blocked and she cannot inhale completely. Lately her jaws feels tired and weary out easily when she chews and her veins seems to feel shocked a bit sometime, a sharp pain. When she stop drinking the pills the doctor gave the pains seems to come back and so she gotta keep taking them.

We've been to the hospital and GP so often, yet through all her breathing test, blood test from artery and so on, and her x-ray seems perfectly fine.

What could be the cause of this? is my mom life at risk and the doctors can't seem to find a treatment? I fear for my mother life..

Me and a bunch of my friends spent a good portion of two days in a hot tub. One to two days after the hut tub all of us started developing pimple-like sores under our armpits and by our waist. They are sore and itchy. Any ideas of what it could be?

I have allergies year round...pretty bad, but worse in the winter. I've gone to the doctor twice and she thinks I have a cold. This "cold" is lasting for a month and I was only "well" for two weeks before it when i had it again for a month.

Stuffy, runny nose. Swollen glands. Headache. Congestion with phlem (lots) Sneezing. Itching. Watery eyes. Tired. Sometimes running a fever

If they are allergies why would they be worse in winter? I feel just awful! I'm taking cold medicine AND allergy medicine along with my asthma inhaler almost daily......this is absolutely ridiculous. Please help

i am 16 years old and am fairly slim. I have quite a balanced diet but am supposidly drinking too much water according to my mum. I have a drink and then 10 mins later i need the loo and then im thirsty again it doesn't stop. My mouth is also generally dry and get tired quite easily. I have sight problems (is this linked?) and can get moody with people over really small things (this however may just be me being a teenager) do these signs suggest diabetes? i didn't think that i was drinking too much water how much is too much? thanks.

He's 43 and he was just diagnosed last year. He's changed his diet and he excercises more and he seems to be contolling it, but everytime I see him he has a Miller Lite in his hand or some other kind of beer. I don't know much about diabetes but i'm trying to get better educated since a family member now has it. We have no family history of it and he's the first one in our family to get it. I'm just wondering would drinking affect his diabetes? I love my Uncle and want him around for many years to come!
