My 3 year old son has just been diagnosed with Tourette's Syndrome. He has facial tics (mostly alot of strong blinking of the eyes) and vocal tics that sound like a stutter (repeating the same word up to a dozen times and repeating the last word said to him repeatedly). We have a doctors appointment in a few weeks and I would love to know what to expect, if anyone could help! Especially parents going through the same with their small children!

what exactly is darrhea? like as far as it being caused by eating food...is it the food you just ate, or is it feces that was already there and didn't get a chance to firm up?

i don't mean this to be gross. i'm seriously curious...i don't see how it could be what you just ate already, but then how come there's no regular poo...like solid? why is it all diarrhea-y?

if anyone could explain....seriously....you can have best answer.

thanks!

I try using NIx, and other brands that has permethrin lotion 1%. I am tired of going to the doctor and finding out which products to try to prevent or eliminate them. I tried washing her head with Head & Shoulders, scratching her head until lice falls out, picking the nits & lice out of her hair, and cracking them. Is there any other ways instead of these? Thank you.

Can twins have Down's syndrome? The reason I ask this is because there is a programme on TV (Eastenders) that has a baby who has it. Usually for babies they get twins to act so that the babies get a break. It got me thinking that I have never seen twins with the condition. And if they can be twins... do both get it or does one have it and the other is "normal"?

I was recently hospitalized and newly diagnosed with hypertension, but in the next month I have to follow up with other doctors because my thyroid level is low. cortisol level is high, and sed rate is high. I do have arthritis. I am a 39 year old female, do not smoke or drink, but do have a strong family history for heart disease and all that. How can all these factors ( sed rate and cortisol level) affect me?
