Other - Diseases - June 2007

I need some help with a medical problem. Doctors can't seem to find a problem, so maybe someone out there can recognize the symptoms. I'll start from the beginning.

I'm a 27-year-old male. About two years ago I started to get vertigo. It would last for a day or a few hours. It would happen every few weeks or so for about a year. It would happen when I was outside working. If felt like the world was spinning, just like the feeling of being on a carnival spinning ride.

6 months go by with no more symptoms.

On News Years of this year I drink and smoke. I wake the next day with my left ear almost deaf and the vertigo is so bad I can't get out of bed for 3 days. I go to the doctor and she gives me congestion medicine. It does nothing. The vertigo calms down after about a week, however the hearing loss is still there. I can barely hear out of my left ear.

5 months go by and I still can barely hear out of my left ear. About every month or so, during these 5 months, I get another vertigo attack. When I have vertigo, the hearing loss gets worse. This will usually last about a day. Then I feel normal except for the hearing loss.

About a week ago I had another vertigo attack and of course my hearing got worse during the vertigo. This time it lasted about a week. I could barely walk the first couple of days. I went to an ENT specialist who did a MRI scan. The ENT found nothing and said everything looks fine and sometimes nerves just go bad. Yes, that's all he said (actually, he had his nurse call and that's what she said when the MRI results came in). He didn't say anything about another test or even a hearing aid. So I'm stuck back at square one with a doctor who doesn't want to help. That makes 3 doctors who have no idea what's wrong.

Recap:
Hearing loss all the time.
Vertigo comes and goes.
When the vertigo comes my left ear goes deafer.
Vertigo sometimes comes when I drink, smoke or work outside.

I hope these symptoms sound familiar to someone out there.

Please excuse the bad grammar and thanks in advance.

My 84 year young mother was recently diagnosed as having kidney disease. Her family doctor has been seeing my mother for years with routine checkups and has just now ordered a blood test to determine functionality of her kidneys. The blood test came back telling my mother's doctor that something was wrong with her kidneys and now my mother has chronic kidney disease. I'm wondering why her physician did'nt order some kind of test to find out if my mothers kidneys were truly doing the job they are supposed to do.

It's not clubfoot....
And the child is borwn with their feet curved inward like the letter C.

I've tried searching the internet, but with my only real description being "feet curved inward like Cs"
you can probably guess that I haven't gotten very far.

I heard yesterday of a kid who had to wear casts to correct the curve and eventually a special made shoe.


any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

For example, I'm freshly recovered from all sorts of unfortunate health ailments that started in my last semester of college, forutnately I finished. However I was literally bedridden in January, and as for February-April I"ve been in and out of ER's for about 3-4 times, due to pneumonia, chest infection, bronchitis, and asthma which developed.

It is now June, and I'm finally somewhat able to feel normal, but I feel like I completely literally died, couldnt think, lost myself...and now im reborn, and it's just a strange feeling.

WHen you're sick, sometimes you really can't function.

Luckilly I'm with a good family and I'm taken care of.

However, I've been pressured to do things which I just couldn't do. My parents prematurely pushed me to go on 100000 job interviews, etc, and I just wasn't up for it.

is it OKAY to do things on your own terms when you feel ready?

Life runs 24/7/365, and I feel insane pressure to just keep going. MOst people feel invincible.
I fell hard.

I think I might have a kidney infection but it doesn't hurt when I pee. I always assumed that it would. Has anyone had a kidney infection and if so what did it feel like? What were the symptoms?

I have had this battery acid feeling in my throat now off and on for a month. I started taking Prilosec OTC almost two weeks ago and last night I had the worst spell of acid in my throat. I tried taking Maalox and drinking some milk and nothing helped. This is the first time that I have had all day acid and not been able to get rid of it. Does anyone know of an Over the counter medicine that is especially good for acid reflux/acid in throat? I have already tried taking typical antacids like rolaids and Gas-X and of course the prilosec OTC. Or am I describing acid reflux disease and thus should go to the doctor? help!

I am going to a clinic where free blood sugar check and free cholesterol check will be done. How will they do this ? Stick my finger ?

I had something done, like a blood draw, at my doctor's office 8 months ago and was told no sign of diabetes, no sign of high blood pressure, but total cholesterol was 210. I do not have any diseases.

I have a friend that has been diagnosed with this disease and I'm doing some research for her. I've found many things on the internet, but will they really make a difference? This girl (38) has been health conscious(she is thin and keeps very active) all her life and she is having a difficult time now trying to keep up with 4 children and dealing with this disease at the same time.

Okay so I found out on Tuesday that I have mono. I started feeling the symptoms about 10 days ago, and now I'm out of the "sick" part, like my throat doesn't hurt anymore or anything. But obviously I'm still really tired and weak and everything. Well, I'm going to have to have surgery soon on my gallbladder. But since I have mono, does that mean I'm going to have to wait until I'm completely over it to have the surgery? And if so, how long would that be?

I got hyperpigmentation suddenly when I was doing my 10th standard and I still don't know as to what kind of hyperpigmentation it is. I also don't know the reason for my cause of hyperpigmentation. It is really a concern when anything bad appears on the face and I'm also not an exception to it. I'm also losing my confidence bcoz of this. I've got it around my mouth (like dark circles that surrounds my mouth), neck then under my nose, armpits and between my thighs. I don't want to go to beauty parlours or doctors bcoz I'm afraid that if they could still worsen my face. Currently, I'm taking home treatment like mixing lime juice with honey & as scruber I use the paste of rice powder and curd, I got these tips from the Internet only. I've started all these only 2 weeks ago and I find some improvement. Can I continue with these or swtich over to some other? It would be nice if you could tell me some other herbal home treatment that will be very effective. Is sunscreen lotion required?
