I am a disabled Vet. Very long story short is I have an unknown illness that causes pain in 50% of my body. I have a hard time communicating with my VA doctors because it takes 3 months to get follow up appointments. By the time a doctor has tried 2 or 3 things i get assigned a new doctor and have to start all over. I have memory problems and cant even remember what was discussed 3 months prior. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to keep records, communicate, and focus my doctor visits so that the next 8 years doesnt result in the same thing this past 8 years has. The same tests repeated over and over because the doctors change and i cant remember what theyve done. Mayby websites that can help? (best description of my illness is Thallamic Syndrome but its so rare and ive not had a stroke that it is unlikely)

My father is having problems with a VA dr. Does any one know what the web site is to check whether a dr has been sued or had complaints against him in the past?

I have been seeing a Chiropractor off and on for several years. I am very unhappy with the way their office works, and the treatment I have recieved. I have an exagerated S curve in my spine, one of my hips sits about a centimeter higher than the other, and the space between my discs are closing. (I am nineteen and apparently have the spine of a 40 year old.) One of my chiropractors said that it could have something to do with the medication I take for my thyroid, and suggested that I try an herbal treatment, but the thyroid problem is way too severe and I just can't do that. I was wondering if I should consult an osteopath about other treatments for my spine, or maybe just find another chiropractor?

What were the signs?

I am getting a severe pain under my sternum and i'm worried it might be an ulcer after i took an overdose of NSAID's the other night.

If you have, did you recover?
if not how long have you been affected by it?
Are you young? (Up to 25)
If not did it start young and was there problems in diagnosing it. Thanks, and good luck, i no what its like. : )

I have had Menieres Disease for about 9 years. Menieres is a lifelong condition and I get attacks of vertigo, sickness, increased tinnitus and hearing loss for which I wear a hearing aid. I currently work full time but am finding it more and more difficult. Does anyone know if I can claim any benefits whilst I am still employed? Any advice much appreciated.

Hello,
A few days ago I realized I had a rather large bump on my head. It's just above my ear and hard to the touch. It's not red or anything, but it is sore when I push on it. Any ideas? I pretty much just want somebody to tell me it's not serious becuse my insurance doesn't kick in until April 1. Thank you!

When I binge I think to myself "its OK I am just going to make myself sick again anyway". It does not seem to be a response to anger or worry. I just do it like a habit. I need to find out why I do this and stop it. HELP!

This is a serious question, and I ask for serious answers only. I'm having A LOT of symptoms on a daily basis, but am completely unsure of what's going on. Now, I'm not looking for a diagnosis from anyone. I'm really looking for suggestions of what this could be. Everyone thinks differently, and has different suggestions. The following is a list of the symptoms and their frequency:

-Exhausted VERY easily - chronic.
-Chronic Fatigue.
-Hungry often & if food is not ingested like clockwork numbness, blurred vision, and dizziness occur quickly (about every 2 hours).
-Some days I have energy to function, and others I can only get up to go to the bathroom.
-Frequently dehydrated
-Bloated feeling 1-2 times per week
-Fuzzy thinking - several times a day
-Vertigo once per day
-Dizziness 8-10 times a day
-Numbness in hands and feet (accompanied by blurred vision). 8-10 times a day
-General feeling of unwellness

I been haveing this feeling of something on the left side of my chest and it hurts some times and it just feels like its filled with fluid or something. I have had a cold for some time. I had 2 ekgs done but they turned out ok. The doctor put me on ETODOLAC. Would it be inflammation in my chest and sometimes on my side and would it feel like fluid build up and give you discomfort?

Approximately 4 inches above my bellybutton, I have two small lumps. They are almost directly above each side of my navel. They feel like they are about the size of a bean. It hurts when I put pressure on them, but other than that, I don't have any stomach problems.

I'm 25 years old, female, and have two children. Other than, I don't really have any other medical history. Any ideas on what could be causing this?
