Is parkinson's disease hereditary and could it be caused by a toxic substance in the system?... Could it be found in the D.N.A. and perhaps prevented?

Alright, I felt like this the last couple months, and it can be almost anything. If you see my other questions, there's this sensitivity to noise and vibrations blah blah blah. I'm going to see a psychologist for anxiety attacks, but I don't even know if what I have is anxiety anymore! My blood tests came back with the results being a slightly underactive thyroid, so that might cause a lot. I still think I have an ear problem, but I'm getting my ears and such checked out on the 22nd.

Right now, I have this feeling that whenever I take a shower, I'll feel really strange and lightheaded. It lasts for a couple hours after I get out of the shower, and for this reason, I shower as little as possible.. (ewww.) Any ideas? Also, I'm about 99% sure that I'm not anemic.

Why is it that everything is a disease now? I mean now obesity is a disease and you are now prescribed a medication or a surgery to "cure" it when before it was beacuse you were lazy; failing to exercise at all and overeating. Now, I do know that there are some medical reasons that cause obesity but in general we in America are overweight due to lack of exercise and poor dieitng.
High Cholestrol and DIabetes? Same thing. Other countries do not have near the health issues we have due to our lifestyles. So why do we now call everything a disease to make us feel better about it?

I was sick for about a week and I finally summed up the courage to go to the emergency room (I'm a military dependent, so it was free, which is the only reason why I went there). My symptoms were headache over my right eye, severely sore throat, and not feeling like eating. I got diagnosed with sinusitis. I woke up this morning at about 4am coughing in my sleep I put my hand over my mouth to continue coughing and my hand was wet so I went to the bathroom to wash and there was blood on my hand. I called my mother who used to be a nurse and she told me that my symptoms were normal and not to be alarmed that it was just a normal occurrence when having a severe sore throat. My nose isn't leaking any discolored mucus and it hasn't the entire week that I was sick before going to the doctor. I've had my tonsils and my adenoids taken out. New symptoms occurred this morning as well: cotton mouth, vomiting (orange-like liquid), coughing blood, severe right ear pains, and high fever off and on.

I have sinus problems and use nasal spray on a regular basis. I know you shouldn't do that because of the rebound effect, but I was wondering if it actually causes any real damage

I fully intend to call the doctor on Monday, but I'm just trying to figure out what is going on. This is driving me crazy. About a week before Thanksgiving I started with a cold. Just as the cold started going away, I started with a sore throat. The weird thing is, my throat is only sore on one side.

As the days and weeks went on I only seem to be getting worse. My throat is still sore on one side, but it's never sore an entire day. It comes and goes throughout the day, but won't go away. Now, for the last couple of weeks I have had nasal congestion, chest and chest congestion. I'm constantly clearing my throat, but I can't get anything to come up. Over the last couple days, at night specifically, my body has just become physically exhausted. After I eat, I just feel like I need to lay down and go to bed. I'm a night person so it's not like me to get exhausted and tired like this. Can someone help. Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong?

Mucus feeling in back of the throat

Cracking sound in the back of my head

These symptoms only occur about once or twice a month. They come and go.

We have been to doctors, including a nerve doctor. None seem to have a solution. She even had surgery to sort of correct a disc. But it did not solve it. She is diabetic. I am very desperate to help her. Thanks very much.

now it seems to be spreading. Do not say I pulled a muscle or it is from exercise or anything like that because that is not the case and it is a very odd sort of ache. I also feel slightly nauseus. Don't say go to doctor-I am trying to get some feedback here first.
