Other - Diseases - February 2007

I have tried everything to quit smoking meds, gum, patches, inalers and support groups. I quit seveal times for 3 months and ended going back, Then quit another time for 2 years and with a stressful event I started back up and havent been able to quit for now three years, I tried. I have smoked now for 25 yrs and feel hopless against it and weak. I love those darn cigs maybe I dont really want to quit but i do know. I dont want all the illnesses related to smoking. I saw my father go through a violet death due to lung caner he died at 56. My mom quit smoking at 38 now shes now 61 however she gained a huge amount of weight (dont want that either) Any suggestions from those who have succeeded this battle?

It is really annoying me and making me disgusted. A friend of mine told me that he has worms inside his body and specifically inside his thick intestine. As he told me, these worms wandering beside his anus and disturbing him. He has also a little pain while excretion and has diarrhea for many days per month. What he should have as a cure for this disease and what is the disease he has? Should he go to a physician and if there is no need, could he buy a specific drug from the pharmacy? Could you mention the name of the drug?

About 3 weeks ago I noticed when I got up to pee in the morning the urine wasn’t coming out with as much force (pressure) as normal. This literally seemed to be something that occurred overnight.

I live in a cold climate and don’t drink that much liquids but for the last 2 weeks I’ve been on holiday in a very hot climate and drinking a lot of bottled water and really noticed when peeing that the urine is coming out much weaker then before and I can only control the flow of urine to turn it on and off as it were but no longer seem to have control of the pressure at which is comes out. I try to contract the muscle which would normally sending the urine out at a much faster rate and nothing happens, the urine just comes out at one pressure now.

I’ve also now noticed when I ejaculate the semen just dribbles out, before it would come out with a lot of force which I expect is normal . What could be wrong with me? Could this be some kind of UTI (Urinary Tract Infection)?

Three years ago I started having difficulty urinating. I began taking saw palmetto since then. I don't know if it is helping me because when I urinate, I still "dribble". Lately, I started supplementing with "Tadenan" (pygeum africanum). I noticed a little improvement. Does anyone know of some supplements which could be effective in reducing my enlarged prostrate?

I had my TSH, T3 and T4 checked and here's the result:
TSH: 0.382 (normal value:0.27-4.2ulU/ml); T3:1.67 (normal value:1.3-3.10nmol/L; T4:192.2 (Normal value:66-181). Will somebody help me interpret the results? My T4 value is above the normal value. I suspect my thyroid gland (malfunctioning) because while my appetite is good, I keep losing weight. Not abruptly but over a period of time. Two years ago I weighed 150 lbs, now I weigh 138 lbs. My height is 5' 10", male, 66 years old.

My husband was misdiagnosed with IBS, and we believe (after research) that he actually has Celiac's Disease. My question is: How realistic is it to keep this under control with diet alone?? How hard is it going to be for him? He loves food and if anyone has some resources for recipes or diet tips, I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

Oh, and its estimated that millions of Americans have it and are misdiagnosed as having IBS. Something to think about. :)

I had dizzy spell tonight. It's getting to be a normal thing for me. They never last for very long, maybe a few seconds, but they seem to be happening more frequently. I noticed two things: first, I had just leaned back into an uncomfortable position (I was trying to get comfy reading a magazine), and second, I was hit with nausea until it ended. A quick online search brought me to benign positional vertigo. The site I'm reading says it's a disorder of the inner ear. A couple of months ago, a close friend of mine has noticed that my hearing isn't as good as it used to be. He mentioned I say "huh?" or "what?" a lot, which has started me paying a lot more attention, and cleaning out my ears. Didn't help, so now I am considering getting a hearing test done.

While I'm not on here to be diagnosed, I just wanted to know if hearing loss is a symptom of the disorder? Should I get to the doctor soon?

My landlord says he has epileptic seizures when tenants are late when paying rent, which causes him to worry about money. Is it true or is he trying to scare me into paying on time (which I do anyway)?

If I try to focus on something for very long, I get a pressure buildup behind my eyes, with blurry vision. Also, under and above my eyes, and a head ache located on the back of my head. and back of my neck. The doctor thinks I have a sinus infection which is causing pressure. If I lay down for a while the pressure goes away, but after sitting up for too long it comes back. It is madding. Does this sound like what sinus pressure can do ?

I am a 25 year old non smoker, non drinker female. I became sick on 01/31 with symptoms that seemed like bronchitis and what felt like strep throat. The throat pain was odd because it was only on the right side. I could see yellow blisters and red lines in my throat on the right side. I finally went to the doctor and got antibiotics on 02/06 after I still felt sick. I have been taking the antibiotics. Today I woke up and my throat is no longer sore, however if I yawn it feels like there is a "pulling" sensation in my throat with pain. I can eat, drink, and swallow without pain, it is only upon yawning. Also, throughout this time my ear does hurt slightly. If I look in the back of my throat, the right side (which is the one that hurts) appears to have "extra" skin tissue in the VERY back of my throat and it is also swollen beside the ulva. Does anyone know what could be going on? I get worried easily and would appreciate any help or someone with knowledge of this.
