Symptoms: High Stress (getting Engineering degree, found out not going to graduate on time, getting married in 2 months), throwing up multiple times a day, not sick (no cold, no fever, no flu), daily has "spells" (out of the blue has to stop and be still, breaks out into a sweat, gets really red, dizzy, head twitches, throws up and it's over). Has been to the doctor, can't find anything wrong. Has had CAT scans, MRI, PET scan, heart monitor, blood work all done last year. The head twitching is new, and the multiple times a day throwing up is new, and didn't happen last year. Between last year's doctor visit and now, symptoms disappeared for several months.

What's going on?

My son is 15 years old and his vision is bad, according to the Optometrist its getting worse by the year. He needs to wear his glasses 24/7. I had consider the lasik surgery for him but not sure how old you have to be in order to have lasik surgery or if his vision would get better. Any suggestions?

its been happening alot lately and i am not sure what is the cause of the whole thing, like the lights go out and then when i feel better they turn back on. Or last time i was really upset and i looked at truck that was carring a bunch of wood logs and i felt angery at the world (which i have been feeling a lot lately) and the rope snapped and all the logs fell off. what could have happened?..

I have high blood pressure that seems to be hard to keep under control, I have had two concussions that I believe may put me into the Post Traumatic Sydrome category, and I am a recovering drug addict that has trouble keeping employment.

Lately I've been having a bad pain in my back where my kidneys are..it sort of goes around to the front. I have only had one UTI infection ever in my life and I don't have any symptoms of one now...so I'm thinking maybe it's my kidney. I bought some cranberry pills...will this help or should I go see a dr.?

Have no health insurance and something terrible happens to you like a major injury or cancer or something? How do you get treated? Or do you even get treated?

Does anyone here work in a hospital billing department or with social services and could tell me. It's something I worry about constantly as there have been times when I've had no insurance. What about dental emergencies?

I live in Texas, in case that matters.

Thanks a whole bunch!

My sister was a heroine user for about 5 years. She is now taking a substitute called "Subutex". But it seems that people who use the substitue drug are 'stuck' with it. How can someone truly let go of the drug?? I am aware that many rehab facilities are there to help people, but in France, like anywhere else I guess, it can be pretty expensive to enter a private facility. If you want to enter other 'free' facilities, there is a waiting list, and there is absolutely NO guarantee that you will be accepted for treatment. Can anyone suggest a step-by-step sort of program? Guidelines? Advice? A book dealing on a specific step-by-step program? Please do not tell me to send her to a rehab center. I am currently looking at a center that would be free of charge to her, but in case she is not accepted, I need to know what we could do to help her by ourselves. I thank all my fellow yahoo users in advance for any useful tips and help.

I quit smoking almost 5 months ago and ever since I did I have had a CRAZY amount of acne on my back, shoulders and face which I hardly ever had before. I can only assume that it is related to quitting, someone told me that it is my body getting rid of all the toxins, but when will it end?
HAS THIS HAPPENED TO ANYONE ELSE????? PLEASE HELP

What puts you into a seizure? For over 15 yrs, none of the drugs I've tried affected me;(pot, acid, coke, & meth.-I'm not a druggie & don't do them). I do smoke & drink, & too much beer makes me say & do things I don't remember till someone tells me the next day-(don't all drunks do dumb things & later regret it?-1 reason I'll never drink on an empty stomach again).. cigarettes did in the beginning when sober, & too much coffee did yrs. ago but I limit my coffee, I try to limit how much I drink too so I don't cause any trouble in public.)
