My daughter was born with hypothroidism and my husband's father also has it. My husband has never been tested, but he seems to have a weight problem and is always tired. Is there a chance that he has it and that it has been passed by genetics? I've researched this and asked doctors, but I've gotten conflicting information. I don't know what to believe. What do you think?

About ten years ago when I was 15 I had a little skin tag that I got rid of with a piece of string....worked good, left just a little bump. In the past week or so I've gotten this huge knot, feels kind of like a rising or massive bite and it is swelling and hurts like hell. I want to lance it but also ain't real crazy about falling over dead if it's some sort of poison or something? Someone told me it might be serious?

I'd like to know a few things. Credible websites would be wonderful if you don't feel like answering.

1- How can deafness be caused without being sick?
2- Just how severe can balance problems related to deafness be? Can it hinder the ability to walk or run?
3- Is it possible for deafness to become worse? (not in an elderly individual, in children and young adults)
I'll just ask these ones, maybe you people know a good website. I've been googling and finding ones that don't really answer. Wikipedia is nice, but I need more sources. Thanks in advance.

My stomach looks like I;m 3 months pregnant, and yet my weight has not dramatically altered (and I am not pregnant). I have had some constipation problems, but even after a bm it still looks that way. What could be a cause of this? It's really embarrassing, and my pants are a bit uncomfortable as well.

only serious answers PLEASE. My dear friend 68 yrs old suffered a hemmoridge to the left side of her brain 2 weeks ago,she is paralyised on the right side(no movement/no response) She semi smiles and nods when you talk loud and ask questions. The docs say little to no hope of recovery, the nurses point towards positive and negative, her husband can't let go yet, but the docs say morphine and comfort until life takes its course. I can't make the decision. I KNOW THAT, but she would not want to live this way or have her husband live like this in the hospital every day & night. My family is supportive, but loosing patience. Where can I get TRUE facts and help her husband do the right thing(what the docs suggest) Too much info and too many opinions are clouding the issue at hand. She has suffered infections, pneumonia, another stroke, respitory distress, cannot swallow on her own and clots in her legs sinces 2 weeks ago. Any one with advise or same stories would really be helpful right now

I and my husband are very clean! I am having symptoms of both a UTI and something else going on! burning, slight itching(no discharge or odor) immediately after sex. 30 minutes later, severe pain in ureter, painful urination and throbbing deep inside-also low urine output. Urine is clear. I started treating for UTI first thing with antibiotics this morning(lots of water and cranberry) The burning and itching returned tonight. Is it possible to have both a UTI and another condition which causes the pain and burning in vaginal area?. I took that UTI med which turns your urine orange this morning so the doctor said that it would be difficult to tell if there was any bacteria-thus I did not go today for urinalysis. Now, it is the weekend and I am at a loss.Sorry to be so graphic! Any advice from doctors or someone who may have had the same problem? There is not enough symptoms present to pinpoint any condition exactly to tee. This just happened this morning. Please help!

I am dating a smoker. I hate the smell (it makes me cough and feel nauseous) and I think that smoking is pointless and stupid. I feel sad dating someone whose lifespan is probably slowly being reduced as the smoking continues. I threatened to end the relationship if the smoking continued, and it didn't work.

Is smoking a legitimate reason to end a relationship? Any thoughts?
