My eyes usually get bloodshot and squinty after I smoke and I don't know how that will affect the healing process of my eyes.

I have a lot of the symptoms of this disorder. However, what bothers me the most is I have a tendency at times to find myself obsessed with certain people who come into my life. Which, in the end ruins the friendship/relationship. I am trying to turn this off but I still can not overcome this problem? Any suggestions on where to get info, or how to make it stop?

Assuming the most mutations are introduced during replication,would you expact the mutation frequency of an adult WBC to be different from those of the liver or skeletal muscle.

Recently, I had some syptoms which I listed in a medical help place where they proceeded to tell me it sounded like i had Raynaulds disease. (my hands turn blue in the shower.) First of all, no one listened to me. The material i read said u have to be exposed to cold, i never take cold showers, and i live where its like only 10 degrees in winter. it only occurs in the shower. Anyway, is there any way i can fix it or whatever it is at home, I don't have any money or insurance to go to a dr. Does the sympthoms include severe cold feelings, as in low body temp?

The medication I am on at the moment is:
Bendrofuazide 2.5mg
Phenytoin 100mg
Quinapril 20mg
Amlodapine 10mg

If I was to stop taking any of these tablets, how would I be affected?

I have had kidney problems ruled out. Have no other sypmtoms and feel generally well although I do feel excessively tired. I was diagnosed with Polycysitc ovarian syndrome a year ago and have been told that there is no significant problem there. The pain is more of an uncomfortable ache and I have had it for about 3 months now, have been to the doctors but they just keep giving me urine tests. It seems that the ache is normally lower right. Does anyone know what this could be as it is really starting to wear me down and I don't feel i'm getting anywhere with the doctor. Thankyou guys xx

If I am currently on antibiotics for an ear infection (Omnicef), does this protect me from getting stomach flu or another type of infection? Does it protect you from all infections or just the one specific one you're taking it for? I'm asking because my husband has stomach flu or whatever it's called and I don't want to get it and was hoping I was protected while on the antibiotic!!

I'm just researching on all these eye problems I have...and I can't really simplify up what Peter's anomaly is. All I know is that I was born with it...then it somehow caused aphakia, secondary glaucoma, dense amblyopia, esotropia, hypotropia, foveal hypoplasia, and some corneal decompensation in the next few years.
and..
Now I'm 13 and am just trying to lower my eye pressure. I use Betopic S and Alphagan P, but those have so many side effects. Anyone have any ideas for new meds? [so i can ask dr :)]

Please, my dad has been unable to eat due to his severe digestive problems. He suffers from heartburn problems everyday. He has been in and out of the hospital for a year. Nothing has seemed to work. Please I am only 15 and could not do anymore than pray. He also suffers from Schleroderma, sleep apnia, and other heart and lung problems. He has an awful time trying to breathe too. I appreciate it. God bless you.

Last night my mom was up all night with diarrhea, and she threw up once. She thinks it is from some pork she ate (which I didn't). She hasn't thrown up for about four hours, but she still has diarrhea. Does this sound like food poisining or a virus? Should I stay away? I just got over gastroenteritis about a month ago and I really don't want to go through that again any time soon.

I have a seizure disorder. Only have had 1 major seizure where I passed out. But did come through quite quickly. But recently I will feel a little strange and then it will pass. Almost like I am remembering something from a long time ago. Then afterwards...I feel really weak and tired. Has anyone ever had this experience before? I am 35, had the only seizure 1 year ago but my EEG's have been abnormal on my left side. I am currently taking Keppra which isn't really bad. I have had worse. They feel that I need to be on something due to the abnormal EEG's. Anyone else with these symptoms? Thanks!

Does anyone here take amplodapine, phenytoin,bendrofluazide or quinapril tablets. If so, have you ever stopped taking any of them without your doctors advice, and if you have, what effect did it have on you?

Are there any ingredients in the San Francisco Bay Certified Organic Rainforest Blend Shade Grown 100% Arabica coffee that could make him, i.e., vomiting, dry heaves, severe headaches, trembling and total exhaustion. We are trying to find the cause of his illness by process of elimination. He is a disabled vet and the Veterans Hospital t is 90 miles from us and he is not able to drive that far. The wait in the emergency room there could be as long as 3 to 5 hrs. Does anyone have any answers or know of anyone who may have this problem? I would appreciate replies and thank you.
