I sleep in a library about four times a week. Well, I have been living
in China for the last weeks and I cannot get used to my appartment
(no internet, no books, far away form school ..) over night in the library of the embassy school. There I have access to the internet,
obviously some books, pure water , a coffee machine ... and I sleep in a conrner of the library , which is made a reading nook where the children have to take their shoes off. This "nook" is carpeted and there is a bench where I sleep. Before school starts in the
morning , I quickly go to the bathroom and nobody has noticed so far. On the one, this library as a sleeping place is cosy. On the other
hand, I do start feeling tired and awkward. I think I h ate leaving
this place of saftey of the embassy and d just feel less lonely
there than in my "cold"appartment. Serious comments, please.

Sometimes my ears rings so loud it drives me crazy. Could it be the medication I am on? Zonegran for Migraines. And why does it get louder if I turn my head side to side?

I have been sneezing throughout the day for more than a year. I have tried nose spray, medicine, vitamin and honey (with lemon) but to no avail. What is my problem? What should I do?

I don't have a fever. I did have chills a few days ago and on the same day i discovered that I have a white spot on the side of my throat. i picked it off with a qtip and it came back. i don't know if its because i'm a paranoid hypochondriac or what but my throat feels a little tight. and its a little sore and more so when i yawn.

I have had pain for 5 years. It is not an std or urinary tract infection. I had a surgery on my urethra and the doctor said the problem was fixed. I had blocked valves. Maybe the doctor screwed up? Its is not interstitial cystitis either and I have had all sorts of tests. I also feel pain when my bladder begins to fill up. Help with an answer if you have even a slight idea. I am going to acupuncture and this is too much for a 17 year old.

Just now as I was trying to fall asleep it seemed like my brain was somewhat irrepsonsive? Like something certain was being deleted from my memory. For a minute I couldn't tell if my eyes were open or closed or which body parts were where. Currently my left arm is really tired. Should I go to the ER?

My entire life ( almost 56 years now ), I have suffered with a dry, large, clay - like stool. But over the last few months or so, all that has changed. My bowel movements are now much more frequent and are almost always soupy or mushy, sometimes even to the point of mild diarrhea. There is no blood, no abdominal pain, no loss of appetite, or loss of weight. As a matter of fact, I've even gained about 5 pounds over the last 4 months and feel otherwise healthy. In actuality, it's been quite a relief not to have to strain like crazy when I sit down on the pot. But at the same time, it concerns me somewhat. Any explanations? Qualfied medical folks only, please.

my partner gets a cracking/poping sensation in his chest - not constantly or anything, but every now and then. It doesnt seem to be caused by anything in particular - sounds sorta like when you crack your knuckles. What could be causing this? Is there any joints in your chest that would be able to get air trapped in them and thus crack??

for the last 3 days i have had a white circle sore thing in the back of my throat. It's about an 1/8th of an inch in diameter (maybe smaller) its on the wall and to the left of my uvula...it doesn't hurt too much, it hurts when i yawn. i poked at it with a q-tip on the first day and it came off and looked like one of those weird yellowish things i know every1 coughs up once in a while...then it grew back...what could it be?

This doesn't always happen but, when it does boy oh boy does it hurt. A little background: Early thirties, Male, good shape, but, taking a "boot camp" class to get in better shape. If we finish class and I jump right in the car I get the headache. If I take some time to cool down things are fine. I'm really concerned because everywhere on the net "sudden headaches" seem to point to an impending brain hemmorage. I've never worked out this hard before so I'm curious. Could the lack of fresh air in the car cause this?

OK, to set this up mom was dx in 2006 with ovarian cancer. Had to have part of her bowels taken out. She's been on TPN basically from August until just last month when they put in a J-Tube (PEJ) in her Jejunum since the G-Tube (PEG) in her stomach didn't help with foods.

Anyways she was on Jevity 1.2 Cal and that has allowed us to get her out of the hospital, however she still really can't *eat* anything because:

1) It seems to sit in her stomach
2) She eventually thorws it up a day or two later (and you can tell by seeing the food pieces what day she ate that stuff)

Today I gave her one of her pills (in a v-cap form that should dissolve) and she threw it up along with alot of other green bile a few hours later. The pill was entirely intact! Not even dissolved at all.

I'm wondering if there is something we are missing with digestive juices or something in the stomach? Any ideas?

My mother is ill. She is severly anemic, has a blood clot in her lung, and is losing much blood. She is experiencing pain and complications. The doctors do not know what to do.

I BEG of everyone, PLEASE say a little prayer right now for God's healing touch. Pray that He heals her. Please. And if we all pray right now, at the same time, there's a power of prayer in numbers.

I love my mother deeply.

God Bless,
Sara

Back in 96' my grandfather died from sickle cell anemia,a genetic disease that is only found in the genes of African American people. When my mom found out she was pregnant with me, she was very scared that I would be sick because my dad's side carried the trait or gene. Luckily I am fine but I worry if I will carry the trait and my kids might have sickle cell since the trait can skip generations. I don't have any kids yet but I always wondered about if the chances of my child having it would be lessened if I had children with somebody outside of my race.
And please spare me the " you're just looking for a reason to marry outside of your race" or anything else ridiculous or rude. I simply asked a question. If you feel you can not answer it intelligently, then keep it moving please. In other words, skip this question.
