i have a chronic cough, due to smoking i'm sure, but i was reading online that having blood in the stuff you cough up is one of the signs of lung cancer, and what i'm wanting to know is does this mean that if theres blood everytime you cough stuff up or if it doesnt matter how often it happens even if it just happens sometimes it can still be a sign of lung cancer if it happens at all. i've had a chronic cough for it seams like years, and i'm only 28, i know i need to stop smoking but its so hard, but i think finding out that i could be possibly be having sings of lung cancer could get me to stop smoking. i am constantly coughing all the time everyday and its really starting to scare me the more i read online about chronc coughing.

I had a biopsy taken on my leg a couple of months ago from this red rash thing (turns out to be a 'Sebrahoic Kerotosis'.

I don't think that the Kerotosis is the cause of it (it has never been itchy) but ever since the stitches have been in, it has been itchy. I was told by a friend that stitches may itch but it has been a couple of months now after the biopsy and it is still very itchy at times.

what could be the cause of it and what can I do about it??

Because if we could "fix" the immune system nothing would be unbeatable.

Do you think that mankind will be wiped out with all the super viruses? Bird Flu / MRSA / AIDS Etc. Viruses are becoming more potent everyday. This is not a religious question.

Can a cardiac event monitor show false bradycardia? It shows the pulse rate on the machine, and everytime id look, it would be like 40s-50's and even 30s upon waking. Can those machines show false bradycardia?

Lily, my 5 month old Boston Terrier has been coughing for about 4 days and has watery RED eyes and a slightly runny nose. She seems energetic and her crazy lil self still...it's just the symptoms above. She was treated for it about 3 weeks ago when we first got her and the vet gave her some cough syrup and an antibiotics called Clavimix (sp??) and it seemed to work, but now a week later it seems to be back...any suggestions, tips, advice, stories?? Does this sound like something different?

Now I know that viruses don't really have "cures", but I can't think of the word presently. When I woke up, I just had a really bad fever going up to 105 degrees. Then, my arms and my legs were almost completely asleep, like I couldn't control them, except for my fingers.
I went to see the doctor, and accidentally threw-up (tossed my cookies) on him. That didn't exactly make him that happy, but his assistant told me that they weren't quite sure about this virus I had, and to check back tomorrow. However, I got a call from them that informed me they had already checked with their affiliates, and nobody knew about this. Apparently there were some symptoms I hadn't noticed, which I was notified about. I was supposed to answer a medical survey to verify the problem, or something like that.
I just got back, but now I have trouble breathing, I feel like my legs are little twigs, and I can't walk.

I would like to hear more, but I'm scared, so I would like to know from all of you.

Tonight while I was at work I had numbness / tingling in my toes on my right foot for about an hour or so. Then once my toes quit feeling numb my right arm started having the same numb feeling and it lasted in my arm for about 30 minutes. I have never felt this before. I am an 18 year old male. What could cause this?

When taking temperatures, I find this site more reliable as to whether fever is present, but I'm not certain whether I should be adding a degree to groin temp to get oral equivalent the way you do with axillary (underarm) temps or not. I don't do oral temps because I breathe through my mouth a lot and they tend to be highly inaccurate (ie, I can clinically have an obvious fever and it not even show up on an oral temp when I've been breathing through my mouth or am having trouble breathing with my mouth closed for long enough to take an oral temp.)

Advice, please?

My son is 6 yrs old and has had a lymph node on the side of his neck for about a year. It started out the size of a marble and then went to the size of a nickel. I have spoken to the doctor about this and they said to "watch it" . Well, tonight I took him to the local ER because it was bigger than usual. He has not been sick or anything but looks that way out of his eyes. They told me he needed a biopsy! I am getting this done ASAP but until then could anyone give me and idea on what this might be! Does this sound like cancer? Any advise or anything would be great. Im very worried and no little about this. ANYTHING WOULD HELP! PLEASE!
