I'm at high risk for a stroke (despite being young) and I'm wondering if anyone knows what the signs are of a stroke? Can you tell when you're actually having a stroke (versus having anything else)?

I was diagnosed with an intestinal tract infection 3 weeks ago and given antibiotics for 5 days to clear it up. Before taking the antibiotics my infection caused diarrhea 10-20x per day for 21 days and vomitting.

Everything is cleared up now except for one small problem. I am overcome with an intense, short-lived nausea 1-2 times daily. It is the worst nausea I have ever experienced and my mouth becomes to salivate uncontrollably. I am a college student and I have had to run out of the classroom/lecture several times now, which can be a little embarrassing.

The strangest thing is that I always run to the bathroom and sit next to the toilet and hope that SOMETHING will come out, but nothing ever does...except for ALOT of saliva...and I gag the entire time. I have tried to identify whether it is associated with the time that I eat. I've noticed that it only happens anywhere from 20 minutes to 3 hours following eating.

Ever heard of this before? Any advice?

I asked a question regarding persistant headaches an hour ago and all of the answers were very helpful but I should have mentioned more info. I have also had a seizure once in my life and suffered a strong blow to the head almost a year ago I wanted to mention as well that these headaches can come nearly every single day and can last all day long. I would like to have a CT scan or even just an X-ray for piece of mind but I can't find a competent doctor. Like they all think I'm just imagining the headaches it's unbelievable. Any suggestions and where and how I can go about getting proper medical treatment?

I was diagnosed with epilepsy after having one grand mal seizure, there is no family history of seizures, and that was the first one I had ever had. The neurologist prescribed Topamax and I've been on it ever since, I have a hard time remembering to drink a lot, and have had pain in both the left and right groin area as well as blurred vision w/ what feels like pins being stuck in my eyes (that happens occasionally) . After reading the side affects and knowing I only had one seizure, I'm wondering whether I should have been put on the drug at all? Has anyone had a similar experience and successfuly gone off Topamax without going to an alternative medication?

Question about Hormones and Growing?
I feel like I have a serious hormonal imbalance in my body. I dont feel attracted to women, I am 5'8", I seem to be aging rapidly both physically, and mentally, I have started losing my hair, and my penis is only 6 and a half inches. I know some of this stuff seems normal, but I am almost certain I have a hormonal imbalance.
I am 21, and I was wondering if I got my hormone situation balanced, is it possible to continue to grow? Most men are about 5'9" to 6 feet tall. The general idea is that you stop growing when your 18, but I heard it is possible for a male to grow until he is 21-25 years old.

Apparently only two doctors in the US currently perform this procedure - one in south Florida (www.vitreousfloaters.com), the other in the Washington DC area (www.eyefloaters.com). These websites would have me believe the scarcity of doctors here is due to the high degree of skill necessary to obliterate the tiny floaters safely and effectively using a potentially very damaging instrument (the laser device). Yet while the safety of this procedure (in experienced hands) seems well documented, it is less clear how genuinely effective the treatment is.

I have had numerous floaters of the "squiggly lines" variety for over a decade. Despite being very nearsighted, my eyes are otherwise healthy. I'm strongly considering a visit to Dr. Karickhoff (the eye doctor in DC), but would be interested to hear from others who have had this procedure, or who know anything about how effective it really is.

Two or three times a year I have to take a few ays off work because I'm so mentally tired - I just can't think straight and do very absent-minded things. I feel guilty - because I'm not actually ill - just incapable of functioning properly. After a couple of days - I'm back on form. I always put this down to my body fighting a virus (and my body usually wins!) but it knocks the stuffing out of me in the process. I rarely if ever have any colds, sore throats etc. Does this sound feasible? Any doctors out there?

My dad has just got discharged from the hospital for ischemic stroke. This is the 2nd time he suffered from one and a more serious one. It left him feeling weak and has unable to walk without someone to hold him. He had problem swallowing food and was one the food tube for a few days. He is now able to take mashed food. He was discharged after 2 weeks in the hospital. However, he tends to vomit his food for the last few days before he was discharged. The doctors could not find a reason for it. He had been vomiting his dinner for the last couple of days so far since he got back. Why is he vomiting? He also have hiccups lately. The usual trick of drinking water cannot work as he can't take liquid readily.

I am taking SERC for my bout of vertigo which has arisen again for about 5 days. It usually goes away after i take the medicine but it's being persisitant right now. Maybe i just need support to get through this because i don't have any help when i need to get out to get food, or do mailings to disability to keep my income coming in. Is there any hope for this?
