pills. He is in a coma having seizures. The doctors say his brain is swelling. Can an overdose of sleeping pills make your brain swell? He lives in California with his mom and 3 yr. old sister Ana. My granddaughter was put in foster care. I am having trouble believing the mother's story of how this happened. Alex is @ CHOC which is a children's hospital. I am presently living in Iowa. That is 1,800 miles away from my grandkids. It has been difficult to find out any info. This happened last Friday afternoon and she didn't call my son until 11 p.m. Saturday night. She informed us that he was doing better. It wasn't until yesterday when my son spoke with a doctor that we realized that it is doubtful that he will pull through. He is a tough little boy just like his dad. But swelling of the brain!? I always associated brain swelling with head injury. I've tried researching this on the web but I would appreciate some first hand knowledge. Thanks.

I have a 14 year-old daughter who has autism. She is on the high-functioning end of the scale (is verbal, capable of self-care, etc.). The pediatric psychiatrist we have been seeing for medication management left the area about a year ago, and we are not happy with the replacement doctor suggested by the clinic that employed our previous doctor. Does anyone know of any doctor, pediatrician, psychiatrist, or other, who specializes in treating/managing patients with autism in the northern Utah area? I am not comfortable with the DAN (Defeat Autism Now) protocol and so prefer a more conservative medical approach. Much gratitude to all who answer, and 10 points for best answer! Thank you!

Does anyone know??

She has very little intestine left and what is there has a SOAS muscle absess. What she has is called Fistulazing Crohn's. If they get the absess it will take the last of her intestine and if she survives, she will have to live on TPN (interveneous feeding) In the past that has caused many infections and would probably be deadly.

All we have left is prayer unless there is something out there that her specialists don't know about.

I'm just throwing this out hoping the right person sees it.

Prayers are apprecciated too, thanks

I know some people pull their fingers back to make them "click". A friend of mine said doing this can give you arthritis, but I've heard it doesn't make you anymore likely to get it.

I want to go into PT (physical therapy). Can someone give me an idea of what to expect so I can better prepare myself? I'm working on getting a BS in Kinesiology specializing in exercise science. I've taken most of my prereqs. and had very little trouble with most of them (except physics was a little hard). I'm thinking of going into a DPT program but I'd love to hear about MPT programs as well.

I've noticed in about the past month my short term memory has gotten abysmal. I constantly am going into another room to look for something, and before I get in there I forgot why I went. Or I'll get on the computer to look something up, but before Google comes up i'll have no clue what I was just going to look for.

The loss happens in just seconds, and has been increasing in frequency to where now it happens about 20-30 times a day. Before this, it would happen occasionally, but now its getting to the point I am getting worried. Any thoughts?

I am 23 and female.

I am 15 and my left ball is a little bigger than an egg and the right one is a little bigger than a grape. I am so afraid it's cancer, and that I will have to get that ball removed. But the thing is, I have no pain there, I feel 100% fine, and I have no family history of this cancer, so I have no clue what the problem is.
