I've had a blood clot on top of my foot for 3 months now. I've been taking aspirin for weeks at a time, along with either Naproxen (Aleve) or Ibuprofen (Advil), I've been soaking my foot in hot water for hours, I've used a warm compress, and I've elevated my foot when I can (especially when I'm sleeping), but the clot remains. If I had insurance, obviously I'd see a doctor, but since I don't I'm wondering if anyone has any advise for this clot. I'm considering cutting along the length of the vein and seeing what happens. The vein hurts a little and my calf is occasionally sore. Sure, its possible I have deep vein thrombosis, but without insurance and any severe symptoms, that isn't something I can address.

i dont know what to do....im in 7 grade, ive got big boobs, and im normal size, not too skinny, but everyone says definitely not fat. 9th grade boys always hit on me and ask me out...actually CUTE ones, and so do guys in the 7, 8, and 1 or 2 even in 10th grade. everyday lately i struggle with finding what they see in me. i hate the way i look, but everyone says im gorgeous/beautiful/etc. i never have confidence in the way i look, and often i wish i was someone else. ive tried not eating for days, and ive even tried throwing up after i eat, i can never reach a happy-medium with my weight. i weight 120 and im 5'4" and 13 years old, i can't stand this body any more, even though other people can't get enough of it. what's wrong with me and why can't i just be happy with the skin im in?

I have constant headaches, hightheadedness, and a squeezing feeling in my head. I ofton hear crackle noises and get a strange involuntary movement of my head. its not bad, but enough to bother me.I also have been experienceing a decreased mental function. not understanding things like I used to. ( the simplist things take forever to figure out) for example locking a simple door. I never used to be like this until a year ago and its progressing pretty fast. does anyone know what this could be?

(Bare with me it's long but I need help!!) For the past few weeks, I have had this feeling of pressure on my chest. Not pain, just pressure. I also find that I frequently get short of breath even when sitting and I have to take a big gasp of air. I went to the doctor about this and she just gave me an inhaler and said that my air tubes just might be tight now due to stress. I'm not stressed now as it's winter break for me, but I do have a big problem with anxiety. I'm just worried because this isn't going away and the inhaler isn't working. I'm also concerned because I did have buimia in the past, and I am on several medications for depression, so I'm not sure those would cause a heart problem. The doctor told me that she doesn't think it's my heart though. Any ideas?

It happens when the person is almost asleep. The convulsion is in the entire body and is hard enough to jar them and the other person in the bed awake. It happens once every few months with no warning and the person feels normal afterwards. The person is an adult but has experienced this for about twelve years (since about the age of ten). May be unrelated, but this person's hand will also jerk uncontrollably once every few months. It only jerks once and then is fine. If anyone has an idea of what is wrong or other symptoms to watch for, it is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

This was a perinatal injury. my daughter is 16 yrs old and we have been to many many doctors.

I have a friend who was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease about 5 years ago. She takes several different kinds of medication for it as prescribed by her doctor. She has also been seen and tested by a neuorologist and they can't seem to pinpoint why she gets these headaches all the time. She misses a lot of time from work because of these headaches. I was just wondering if other's who have Parkinson's suffer like my friend does and what she might do to help alleviate the frequent headaches.

NO appetite for about 2 weeks now. In early November my grandfather passed away, it was very hard. Less than 3 weeks later my Dad's girlfriend passed away from MS. Then about 2 weeks after that my Grandmother went into the hospital with Pancrititis and has been in and out of ICU ever since. My appetite is gone. I have lost about 5 pounds in 2-3 weeks and am having HORRIBLE panic attacks. I completely flip out and think that I am going to die. My husband took me to the ER one night because I was having tremors and then I went to my own Dr. 2 days later telling him I was convinced I was dying of cancer. I am freaked out by the weight loss, I think I look too thin. (5'3 and 134 lbs). I've had a personal trainer for 5 months and my weight was always pretty stable, I also started running a lot about 2 months ago. People tell me I do not look sick and that I am not dying. My Dr. did blood tests last Thursday and I never heard from him- no news is good news right? Is this all anxiety related?

If you're blind, do you only see total darkness? What about daytime - can you see light if you look towards the sun?
