When someone experiences tumor symptoms, such as numbness or tingling, does it usually only affect 1 body part at a time? for example you will feel numbness on 1 side of your body like left arm and foot. or another person will feel numbness in both of their legs. another person will feel numbness in their face, etc...Or can it be a general numbness all over the body such as both hands and both feet, legs, arms, etc?

I constantly have to be moving. I tried to sit still for church this morning, but I ended up peeling the foil off the gum wrapper paper. I have trouble making eye contact for long periods of time- my eyes end up darting all over the place. If I have to stay in one place, I'll twiddle my thumbs, pat my legs with my palms, shake my foot, click my tongue- anything. I physically CAN'T sit still!
I'm 14. I do extremely well in school. I don't get in fights, I don't backtalk, I have good friends. I have hypothyroidism and I'm medicated for that.

And don't be like "Go to the doctor don't ask people online". I've been to the doctor. One said "mixed type ADHD" without even explaining what that meant. He didn't prescribe anything. He didn't tell me what I could do to fix it.

I constantly need to move my hands, usually with a pencil. My school papers are littered with doodles. I can't keep a sheet of paper clean unles I force myself!!
I also have insomnia.

I had a stent put in my commin bile duct the end of July 2006 before i had my gall bladder removed. my surgeon said that the GI Doctor would take it back out in about 6 weeks which would have been in september 2006 but my surgeon and myself had called the GI Doctor to have the appt set up and when i would call the office they said they would call me back and they never have. And now I dont have medical insurance that would even cover the procedure if they were to go in now and do it. What do I do? And are there any adverse side effects from this?

My friend received a diagnosis report and he needed me to help him understand it, but I didn't understand it either. I was wondering if you may help me out. The report said:

The bowel gas pattern is non obstructive. There is a large amount of stool throughout the colon suggesting constipation. No definite urolithiasis is identified.

My lower back has been hurting me almost constantly for the past several months. It has gotten to the point that I avoid sitting down whenever and however possible. I can only get on the computer by lying slightly reclined on my bed and using my laptop. Some days are better or worse than others, but the pain persists. The only other symptom I have is that I am rather stiff all over when I wake up in the mornings. I walk like Frankenstein for about 15 to 30 minutes, and then I can walk more normally, even though my lower-back still hurts. Bloodwork is inconclusive, and so for the doctors haven't been able to figure out what is going on with me. Can someone help?

My level is 8.3 (HDL only 2). I don't smoke, drink any alcohol, am vegetarian, don't eat high fat foods (except twice when I had anorexia and I was on a hospital weight gain diet), do stupid amounts of exercise. My dad has it. Is it purely genetic or anything to do with my history of eating disorders and gaining and losing weight quickly? The doctor says I am too young to go on medication (I am 28) an dI have to change my diet. I think he must think I am lying about my diet, but I honestly don't know what I can do!! Any ideas?

Thank you for your answers. Yes, I,m in counceling. My brother just passed away and it has been almost unbearable but is getting better. I just can,t deal with the exhaustion. If I had to describe my life for the last 15 years it would be ,Total Exhaustion! I have never done illegal drugs in my life but I think if I found one that I knew would not harm me but give me strength in my body, then I would take it. I will keep praying and hope God will fix this so maybe I won,t .Is there any real natural energy drinks or something that,s not loaded with a leathal amount of caffine that helps? I just took the med, the doctor gave last night and woke up at 12:00 today drugged. This will not work! I HAVE to work! I am DESPARATE! It is not only effecting my life but also my Marriage.Thanks again for your answers.

Hi - don't know if anyone can help but I have been diagnosised with endometriosis at aged 26. Docs are not prepared to do anything more than pain relief althought I have been going down this route for about 3 years and have tried pretty much everything to the point my Pain Management Consultant has offered to put me on oral morphine. This is just affecting my life so much - I was looking forward to travelling and doing my medical degree but I can't if this isn't sorted out (then pain killers I am on - Tramdol, voltarol, paracetamol - are not effective and I get really horrid side effects like nausea, vomiting, tiredness etc). Just really feel that since the diagnosis, everything I have dreamed about has been taken away & I don't know what to do. I have a demanding job that I have already taken time off for due to being in hospital a couple of times with this. I don't have a partner and doubt I'll ever get one with this condition as well. What can I do? Thanks!

I know a high fever over 104F can cause brain damage if it's not treated, but I've had a low grade fever for 4 days now. Can that also do damage?

It's only between 99.2 and 100 with no other symptoms except loss of appetite and general malaise. Acetaminophen is not helping. I'm drinking as much water as I can but even that makes me feel gross. The good part is I've lost a good deal of weight from it, but not the healthy way, I know.
