Does it seem to you as if everyone in America wants to be diagnosed with some kind of 'condition'?

I work in a bookstore and in recent years have seen a huge influx of books on medical.psychological conditions, often with the most vaguely defined of symptoms. Fibromyalgia, for one. This idisease's' only defined symptom is that it makes you tired a lot. That seems like it might be a symptom of NOT TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF, not some ill-defined 'disease'. And there has been an explosion of 'disorders' that will make your child disobey, defy authority, have a short attention span etc...you know, NORMAL KID STUFF (and don't even get me started on this 'indigo child' crap). I suppose maybe it is just easier to say you have an illness than it is to take responsibility for you own behavior. This is not intended to offend anyone. If you have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, or if your child has sensory integration disorder mor something, please tell me and explain the situation.

Probably once every week or so I get really really anxious, and it takes hours to wear off. I'm not anxious about a particular thing, and I'm not always stressed about anything. I just get really really anxious and panicky. My hands start shaking, and I'm irritated and on edge. Is it normal to have this only once in a while?

Okay. At first it just looks like acid-reflux, but its more like compulsive vomiting throughout the day. He can control the compulsion to some degree, and manages to not loose all of his nutrition. However, the stomach Acid is damaging his esophegus (sp?). He has been tested for Celiac Spru, Stomach Paralysis, and he's not allergic to meat or dairy. He doesn't smoke, drink coffee or eat acidic foods. It can happen 5-10 times a day before or after meals and also between meals altogether. If you have anything like these symptoms or have a guess as to what is the culprit, please drop me an email. Also, one more strange thing is that all throughout his childhood he would compulsively eat plain table salt. I have heard that this was indicitive of a metabolic disorder, but I can't find out anything more about it.
Additional Details

No, he has not had a colonoscopy. He has had an endoscopy and some sort of digestion test, where he drank radioactive stuff and then they watched him digest it. Both showed nothing.
Its hard to answer the question about his current symptoms because he tries very hard to prevent himself from actually throwing up . With a lot of concentration and relaxation, he is able to not loose his food-so its kind of like heaving but he is usually successful at keeping the food inside and not out. When it does occasionally come out its kind of whiteish. it doesn't seem to be associated with any specific time of day (although without fail first thing in the morning he has it). like i said before, it can be bore meals, right after a meal, when he's really hungry, when he's not, etc. However, it doesn't seem to affect his appetite at all. He eats many times a day, though on days where is stomach is worse, his portions are smaller. He hasn't had any head trauma, headaches, or really any other problems.
1 day ago
He takes asprin very rarely, and we drink alcohol (within moderation) a few times a week. However, in Nov. he got mono and didn't have a drop of alcohol for 3 months-symptoms of stomach problem did not change. He hasn't had any of these probelms:kidney-liver-disease ?
gall stones ?
headache ?
head trauma?
diabetes?
abdominal surgery ?
no results from any blood tests done so far. no pain, fever, diarrhea, constipation. he doesn't feel thirst, fait, or have dry mouth. But one of his biggest ways of easing his stomach just a bit is to drink ice water. so he drinks probobly 2ce the amount of water that most people due.
oh-and its been a problem for the majority of his life - he's 23. And his Dad has always had a wierd stomach problem. Whenever his dad wouldn't get enough sleep at night - we would vomit and feel tsick the next day. ---just a side note.

My shoes and socks stopped fitting. I haved tried elevating my legs. I am not standing much. I am going to the doctor tomorrow. It is very painful. What are some causes of this? I have had this before and tried diuretics, but they do not work this time and this is the worst I have ever had it. My feet even look funny and cannot move correctly. I had to buy thongs because I was wearing slippers. Any ideas?

My hands and feet have been shaking for the past four hours and it hasn't stopped a bit at all. The shaking happenned to me a long time ago and it stopped after a couple of minutes. Now it's just shaking and shaking. Now it's shaking that I don't even know that it's shaking. Is it starting seizures or something? And now everything's a little blurry...

Hey. This aunt of mine has gone through a drastic change in her appearance. She must be around 55. She was a beautiful woman. But , since a year, she's lost a LOT of weight. She has these rashes all over her skin. She has liver swelling,fever,pus all over the body,weakness. She really looks awful.

Everyone is betting she has cancer.. or maybe even AIDS. I just want to know what it is ? If only , you guys can found out for me. And if its a professional, then it couldn't get better. Any help would be appreciated.
