My friend has that and she went into the seizure. She didn't black out she was staring off in to space and pulling at her clothes for about 3 mins. Her mental health is a clean bill of health and her physical is normal. She has done this before at a party. Everone was laughing at her. I took her in another room until she stopped. And went back to the party as if nothing happened. Any advice where she can go for help.

My friends and family tell me not to smoke but do they have the right to tell me that? I ask them to TRY to quit but they said no. (All I'm asking is to try) I need some answers please.

If I go all day without eating (bad, I know, but it happens because of work and such),...anyways, I get very tired, weak, and cranky. People tell me it is because my blood sugar is low and that as soon as I eat something, I'll be fine.

I understand about how food is converted into energy and lack of energy explains why I'm weak and tired. What I don't understand is how it could possibly make me so irritable and cranky.

when I recorded my BP 3-4 times on free BP checking machine in the superstore I found that my systolic bp dropped by almost 40 points at the 4th observation within few minutes.My readings were 183/87, 149/88, 150/90 ,142/84.
What is my correct BP? Why there is so much difference in readings within few minutes. Is the superstore or pharmacy shop machine reliable?

If all goes as planned I will be able to have the 4 small incisions, but if it doesn't, I will have to have the large cut from bellybutton to just under the ribcage.

My questions are: What is the recovery time and time off work (I work in an office where all of my day is spent sitting upright in a hard chair)?

What medications will I come home with? Antibiotics? Pain meds? Something else for liver function?

I appreciate any help on this matter. Thanks in advance

Since I was around 16, I have had intermittent stomach aches and constant gas. I'm 21 now and I probably should of done something about it sooner, but I've gotten so used to dealing with it. It got noticeably worse about 3 yrs ago. I have not noticed my symptoms get any worse after eating a lot of any specific kind of food (such as dairy), but I don't think I should rule out some sort of food sensitivity as a cause. I tried gasx and beano, but they didn't work at all. I'm thinking about trying a probiotic supplement. So what do you think might be wrong with me? Anyone have the same problem? Should I see a doctor?
Ps. I asked this question before, and it seems a few people misunderstood, so let me clarify. I definitely do not have trouble digesting dairy and I do not have any other symptoms except gas and stomach pains. There's no nausea, diarrhea or constipation.

I'm a fourteen year old female and recently I've been experiencing pain in the lower left quadrant of my abdomen as well as a fever, weakness/fatigue, diarrhea, nausea, loss of appetite and loss of weight. At first I thought it might be appendicitis but realised shortly after that my appendix is on the right half of my body(silly me). still, I'm really worried that something is wrong. The pain in my abdomen is a kind of shooting, stabbing pain and it subsides and reoccurs regularly. Does anyone know what this is and what I should do about it? Please, I'm really concerned and would like help immediatly.

I believe my mother has symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. I don't know for sure and she is refusing to see a doctor. I want her to live with me so that I can look after her and she refuses to see a doctor to get diagnosed or get some help. I stayed with her for a while and she forgets my name. She also puts odd things like pet shampoo in the refrigerator. She is paranoid about neighbors we have known for years trying to rob her and kill her! She cannot cook anymore because she burns her pots and pans. She used to be interested in things and it seems like she has lost interest in everything. She is restless and up all night and sleeps in the day. She was never like this before and I have noticed major personality changes over the past year or so. She used to be a dynamic very intelligent woman. Shrewed business woman. Now, she cannot even keep her checkbook. I am worried about her! I really love her and want to take care of her but how can I get her to see a doctor?

Well, for a while now I haven't pooed every day like your supposed to. I've even gone a week without. I eat semi-healthily, although I don't eat that much. I'm vegetarian, 18 and average weight.

I've never really seen any problem with it, but I know its not normal. You don't need to shout at me to go to the doctors. I'd just like some advice. Not a lecture.

My cousin says it has given her hemorroides. I don't know if thats the correct way of writing it. But she told me she is going through a lot of pain and she also explained it to the doctor but he said that he doesn't think it has to do w/ it. Though it did start when she started the therapy.
