My dad recently had a stroke and it was not discovered on the first CT scan. A week later he was admitted into the hospital again because of his symptoms and it was discovered that he in fact had a stroke. The doctors say his Internal Carotid Artery is 100% completely damaged. Is this life threatening? I need some answers becuase I am sick of all the doctors wispering when i dont know whats going on. Im 21 years old and terrified for my fathers life. Someone please help me. Any knowledgeable feedback at all is GREATLY appreciated. Pray for my father. Thank you.

Ive had a wide array of symptoms over the past few weeks. First my period was late by almost a half a month (i did get it, and i did take about 5 tests, all negative), my eyes blew up and got infected and later turned into a sunburn looking rash, frequent urination, constant headahces and sinus aches, increased anxiety and always tired! is my body trying to tell me somethings wrong? or is this just all in my head. very stressed all the time. such bad heartburn( ALWAYS HAVE THIS) low blood pressure, it sucks. my body jsut aches randomly sometimes as well and sharp pains in just random places, its just getting annoying. i went on an antibiotic for the swelling of the eyes, but what the hell is going on with me

meggie sue, retriever mix, 6 years old, had attacked and killed my pomeranian that i had for 4 months prior. Their were no signs except for twice i heard a low growl from her. She has been passive her entire life & this is so out of line for her. I put her on clavamox due to answers given by all you,
maybe problem is illness. What do you think?
Abnormal behavior, tiredness, listlessness, clear drooling like saliva, not much appetite. Had her blood checked for tick borne disease and heartworm just in case. Blood test came back perfect. Ex-rays taken on stomach area where she tightens up when touched came out fine not even arthritis. I love all my dogs and do have another pom which she has growled out now under her breath. She has growled at the pug yet though. I need opinions to help me to figure out what to do.
Do you think she is just becoming mean? Or, do you think this is a health issue. Two vets say put her down. One vet said we can try to look for reason. What do you think?

I have really high wbc. They are over fourty thousand. I lost 65 pounds in 5 days. They have done just about every test there is I think. Everything comes back good. No Cancer. Even the bone marrow. This has been going on for a very long time now and I tired of this game. I can not do much without becoming ringing wet. Like if I just got out of the shower. So wet that I have to change shirts and pants (everything). I hurt all over all day long. Headache big time all day long. Do move to fast because my blance is really off. High fevers all day long. To get it to go down I go and lay down for about an hour. That brings it down to 99.8. It goes as high as 104.3 so far. But the list goes on and on.

I am a 50 yrs. old female and I have MS and I have custody of my 19 month old Grandson and for the first time in my life I think I have the flu. But with the baby I am NOT getting the rest I am sure I must need to get better sooner. I would like to know if I am not resting can I expect the flu symptoms to linger longer than normal.

You know, how they're always adpertizing it on tv, right? Well, my legs are really restless at night, like now. I always get up and walk around the house at least once, maybe twice, if I haven't done my exercise for the week. I find it very hard to sleep without reading a book, watching tv or doing some exercise.

If I do, is it serious? I don't want to take the stupid requip they offer. (*Sighs*)
I hate pills, and if it's not serious...

Advice?

My uncle has tested positive twice on an onsite drug test for PCP. He is on Effexor and Byetta. I think the Byetta has caused the Effexor level to increase and contributes to the problem. ANY information is welcome. I found one small article that said Effexor can cause False Positive for PCP but that's it. This needs to be known and recognized before lives are ruined.

I have these 2 spots on my tongue that have been coming and going for about 2 months. It feels like a cold sore or something but I've never gotten a cold sore before. One is on the tip of my tongue and the other is on the side. They hurt when I talk and they never seem to really go away. It looks like a bunch of swollen taste buds and they are really red. And they are always in the same spots. I haven't eaten anything different or shared drinks or anything with anyone....any ideas??
