I am an otherwise healthy 23 yr old who was diagnosed with and underactive thyroid a few months ago and have been taking meds for about 8 weeks now. My eybrows were thinning out on the edges and that what got me to go get my thyroid checked. However, i notice that pretty much all the hair (except facial) on my body pulls out rather easily with a slight pull (including my eyebrows and arm hair) I was just wondering if this could be cause by the medicine im taking because i never noticed this with my arm hairs until yesterday. Thanks in advance

I've never seen an asian or black person with downs syndrome? Is it a 'white' man's disease only? And if so, why do asians and african americans not get it

Ok I have pink eye, i caught it from my daughter. Our doctor gave me gentamicin sulfate ophtalmic solution. I've been taking it for 3 days now. I am alergic to sulfa in medications. My eye has started burning and its cloudy at times. Does these drops that they perscriped contain sulfa? I know sulfates deal with sulfa I think. Any advice from people who know what they are talking about would be appricated.

My friends 4 year old son is in the hospital with bacterial meninigits for 2 days and he was very sick but they got him on antibiodic and did ct scan shows no obvious brain damage and he is eating but can not hold his head up or walk. Could this be a temporary thing because he is weak? He seems better but they are not sure if this can be a short term thing or if this could be a permanent side effect from the menigits. Can't find hardly any information on this. Thank you

Last fall, I had a bunch of earaches, but they weren't bad and I just thought that they happened because of my colds and I was too busy with school, so I didn't go to the doctor.
Lately, I noticed that I can't hear as well as I used to. I can't hear a word someone says if they whisper or if they talk below a certain volume. I keep on having to have people repeat themselves, which I never did before.

Did I damage my hearing by ignoring the earaches? Is there anything a doctor can do now? (I'm 16).
