Well, I'm constantly cold, and I've just really started to take it seriously in the past week.
I went to the beach today with a few friends, and I was wearing pants, sneakers, and a sweatshirt. My friends were joking around and making fun of me, but I knew they were kidding, but one of my friends moms made a comment about me being so cold, and that I should go see a doctor about it, because I could have a disease that makes me this cold.
Tonight I Google searched 'allways cold' and it came up with a few health sites that have a few symptoms of thyroid problems such as being tired all of the time, dizzyness, not being able to think or concentrate sometimes, headaches, etc. Most of those I experience a lot. I get cold constantly and now I'm getting worried about it because of what I read...
So, whats the story? Should I get help?

Last March I came home from an appt with a horrible headache. 3 weeks later, I went to the Dr. He gave me amoxil. A few weeks ago I went again. This time I didn't let it go for so long and I was given a nasal spray. For the following week, not a day went by wtihout a headache. But then it went away for one day and the next day it was back twice as bad. This went on for 2 more days and I haven't had one since. Unitl today. I can feel it starting again. It hurts straight across my forehead and right in my nose (where my glasses fit) I want to take them off but I can't see without them.

My quesiton is: Is this normal? To suddenly start having headaches like this? To my rememberance (and I think I would remember that kind of pain) I never had one unitl a few months ago. I haven't had any accidents that I know of. Is it menopause? Just grasping at straws.

My mom has just been diagnosed with cirrhosis, and her doctor gave her iron. My uncle, who also has cirrhosis, just told her that he thought cirrhosis patients were not supposed to take iron. Is it damaging?

My doctor told me to walk. Here's a guy that thinks everything can be cured through walking. Nevermind I've walked from here to Timbuktu and back, stopped smoking, and keep my feet up. Yet, the backs my lower legs still look like they're about to burst sometimes. I try to go 20-30 minutes a day. Am I overdoing it, or is it as Hank Azaria asks; "If walking's such great exercise, why does my mail man look like the harmonica player from Blues Traveler?"-Before the stomach stapling.

I asked earlier about my husband. Now he came over and told me he took a lot of pills 4 nights ago to commit suicide, but just got sick. I just feel empty, but didn't ask him to stay. I told him if he went to rehab I would go to counseling with him afterward, but promise nothing else. Help!

A friend of mine has had a pain in her side just under the ribcage for a few months now. It used to be a dull pain and now it's a sharp, stabbing pain and can be felt from her back too. What could it be. She needs to see a doc, I know but she won't.

Come on ppl don't lie...The stats state that atleast 50% of Americans are overwieght with 20% of those being obese. I was just curios as to how many people would actually admit to their problem.

About a month ago I came down with extremely sore & swollen throat and glands, I went to the doctor and got tested for mono and strep and came back negative for both.
The sore throat went away in a few days but I have continued to feel extremely tired for almost 4 weeks now, I am sleeping 10-12+ hours a day and am still exhausted. I am taking my vitamins, drinking lots of orange juice, getting a ton of bed rest, cut down on exercize, everything I know to stop feeling so fatigued.
Then a few days ago I went back to my doctor and they tested me for mono again as well as checked vitals and blood etc. Everything was normal except low white blood count. So I obviously have a virus of some kind...

but I don't know what.

Its starting to go away, but I would still like to know what I had! I am a swimmer training for US nationals and this has really messed up my training, so I definitely don't want to get it again!

thanks for any info you have!

I am so frustrated...I always hear "Well, you could have M.S., but I am not for sure."
They have done the tests, but they don't say "No you don't have it." They say, we'll have to wait and see...just take it easy for now.
The worst part is my mind is no longer sharp and I am losing the ability to walk on my left leg. I have heard this for 5 years.
I research m.s., people say it took 5 to 20 years to finally be diagnosed. What the heck?

Hi all, my mom has been suffering with MG for 7 years. Ahe is 48 years old. Her case is severe, and she enters into crisis at least once a year. This spring she underwent an experimental treatment at John Hopkins in Baltimore. They use chemotheropy to reboot the immune system. Has anyone had this done? I would like to get in touch with someone who has shared her experience. I would like to get my mother some support. Right now, it seems like some of her symtoms are coming back. She has a Dr apt next week and they are unable to provide contact info for the folks that have had the same procedure.
Thanks so much and all the best.

ie: I seem to remember a story where an infant needed a new liver - however, one could not be found that was a match (by blood type/size.) One of the parents then donated a portion of their liver to "create" a new one for the baby. It went on to say that the missing portion in the parent would regenerate itself. Can an adult donate a portion of a healthy liver to "create" a new one for an adult diagnosed with cirrhosis?

I'm doing research on salmonella and I'd like to know what the actual odds of contracting salmonella from raw eggs are. I've eaten foods made from raw eggs all my life and never had a problem, so I'd like to know how much of this is pure hyperbole.

thanks,

Ok....this might seem overly simplistic....but here goes.

I have read that there is a definite link in femal hormones and lupus. I have lupus. I, also, need to have a hysterectomy....but, have been putting it off.

My question is.....could having the hysterectomy possibly help with the lupus. Because of the reduction/change in the hormones?

Just a thought....
