I'm on day 2 with a cold and all the dayquill in the world won't help. I've noticed that all the pseudophed medicines now don't actually contain pseudophed, but phenylephrine. Whatever it is it doesn't seem to be helping me out at all.

Could somebody in the pharmaceutical or medical field give me the real-deal on this stuff?

Basically what's going on is he used to eat a lot of food when he was still on bottled milk. Then he was taken off the bottled milk and his eating habits have changed drastically. He has no interest in food, and he has lost 7 pounds in 2 months. It's almost like he's controling his eating and anytime you try to feed him he looks at the plate and will freak out and shake his little hand "no" at the plate and run and hide. I am extremely worried for my nephew. Is it just a phase, or does he need doctors help?

My boyfriend just got some results from a blood test and they told him that his ALT level was 63. He has an appointment w/ his doctor for next Monday but in the meantime we were just very curious as to what this "63" could possibly indicate.

Anyone?!

Yesterday I had a renal (kidney) sonogram and last night I was having my normal kidney pain plus nausea. This morning I woke up with severe dizziness and pain on my right upper abdomen. I felt it and I felt a lump where my gallbladder/kidney is. The dizziness is now gone but now I feel really bloated. I haven't eaten since Noon and didn't feel it then. Could this just be a pull/sore muscle from the sonogram or does it sound more serious??

The nodes under my arm have been really swollen for over a month and aching, no change. But the past few days the hard mass is turning into hard lumps in a soft tissue mass and there is redness starting on the skin, burning and sharper pains toward skin. Whats happening now? Is it working toward the skin and out the body? Am I getting over it? How did it feel for you as you were getting over it?
Any suggestions on speeding this up, like hot compresses?

The pain will travel down my arm to my fingers sometimes but will at times be primarily in the upper arm area and shoulder across to my neck. It has at times been as bad that the pain has also gone up into my ear. Sometimes it can be a sharp shooting pain but most times it is just a constant pain. I cannot lift my arm very high in any direction and when I do the pain is much worse but my arm will not move very high. I have been to a doctor a few times and all she continues to say is that it is tendonitis. She did have an xray done and it showed nothing. I did not injure it in any way that I can recall. I am now taking a muscle relaxant, Ibuprofen, and a painkiller for the pain and it barely touches the pain I am experiencing, I seen a doctor at a walk in clinic and this is all he did for me. Any ideas of what might be wrong with it? Or what I can do?

kind gross... but three years ago I felt a lump in my underarm and just let it go until it kept getting bigger and the pain was unbearable. I went to the er and they said it started as a blocked hair follicle and by the time they cut it open it turned into a staph infection. My dr said that it was just something that happens to people and nothing could prevent it. well a couple months ago I got another one but got on antibiotics before it got bad and then a month later I got another one! I know that not eveyone gets these! how can they be prevented? very very painful!

A relative of mine has severe stomach pain (worse in the evening). He's been to the ER multiple times in '06 and already once in '07. He has to take pain meds and ambien CR just to make it through the night. he also has strange spikes in his temperature (typically VERY high) after taking a shower, even if the last 5 minutes of the shower was cold water only. pancreas has been checked along with thyroid, liver, and multiple other things. mayo clinic said there is nothing they can do. i've never heard of anybody having to go through life in this much pain. they have said it could be scar tissue. but isn't there something that can be done for this? or is he going to be in pain for the rest of his life? anybody else ever heard of this and maybe know what it could be? chromes and IBS have been ruled out too. thank you for your help! ;o)

My friend wants to know if she has mono. This is what she said, "All day I feel like I just wanna take a nap. My ears hurt and my throat feels like there are two lumps in it. I have a sore throat and I'm achy" Her temperature is 96.6 last time she checked. That's low. She doesn't have a computer so she wanted me to ask.
