I am 19 and had so many kidney infections. For the past 4 months I have had problems with kidney stones. I have severe leg pain, back pain, headaches, sometimes dizziness. I have heard about different things like kideny failure, and lupus. Does anyone know what could be going on? I went to my Dr. and he is trying to tell me I have a back problem but I think it's more than that and I want a second opinion but I don't want to go and sound stupid. Thanks for any help!

I had a flu shot yesterday. Today I feel like crap. Muscle aches, weakness, headache. I have had many flu shots and never this kind of reaction before. Dr. says it is a side effect of the shot that sometimes happens. Has this happened to anyone else?

Hypothyroidism Symptoms and herbal remedies?
I have almost all the symptoms for this and go to the Doctor Oct. 17th to be tested. I am 30,and under alot of stress with husband deployed and 3 kids at home for me to take care of. Is there anything I can take non=prescription to help this? I would like some input for what worked for you,so I can ask the Dr. about alternatives. Also,my most noticeable symptoms are hair loss and thinning,puffy face,and weight gain. Will these go away after I start medicine or does the medicine just try to control it from becoming worse? How long did it take to get under control? Thanks for the time!

This is the most painful thing I have ever had. I have it in my hands and feet and at times it is very difficult to walk. I'm a nurse which makes work difficult. I'm taking Lyrica butr it does not totallly get rid of the burning and pain. I'm just tired of it. I don't know how much more of it I can take.

I was having a bad colitis "flare up" for about a month then I read about probiotics. Did some more research and found out that Dannon Activia (yogurt) has probiotics and helps regulate your digestive system. Started taking it Sunday, noticed positive results the next day. Now it's only been a couple of days, but I went to the bathroom about 6 times on Suday, and it was all diarrhea. I had 2 normal stools Tuesday. ( I hope that wasn't too much info)

I just wanted to let my fellow sufferers know about this. I have been eating 2 a day. An 8 pack costs about $4. I have also been eating other yogurt. Supposedly the culures are good for you.

Best of luck to us all. Hopefully there is a cure soon. May God Bless us.

I went to Washington DC this weekend, and while there got a pretty gnarly sore throat and the day I got back (I know this is probably TMI) my bowel movement was a very strange yellow color, and was today again, and today around my belly button, more so toward the left has hurt excrutiatingly bad to the point where I am on the verge of tearing up. Is this neccesary of doctor attention this soon? What might help this? thanks

My ear and side of my head burns after 20mins on the phone. I change ears and it is good for a little bit then have to swap again. I have used several different mobile phones and they all feel the same if having a long conversation. My hands free car kit is the only thing that works but is not always practical. I do not know of anyone dying of over mobile use ,YET!
