I am 16, but I have weak joints, especially my elbows. When I went to the doctor he said that I have some disease, because my arm span is longer that my height, in addition to the elbow problem.

Problem is, I didn't catch the name of the disease. Do any of you guys know what it could be?

My Father-in-law was just diagnosed with a benign tumor in his Pituitary Gland.
We're not sure of the size. He has to have another MRI done of the Pituitary Gland to see exactly how big it is.
My Father-in-law has been having trouble with his balance when he walks, He always looks like he's staggering and going to fall. That was the reason for taking him to a Neurologist.

The bigger problem we're having is my Father-in-law is refusing to have it removed. He said he's 71 yrs old and he might out live it. He's just absolutely refusing.

The Neurologist is having more tests done but he's thinking that the tumor is growing out around the dome of the Pituitary Gland, which will then start to affect his Optical nerve.

Any thoughts on how to encourage him to have it removed , if it comes to this?
And is it really medically necessary to have it removed?

My Father-in-law is complaining because he is insisting that he is not having any trouble with his eye sight

in this day & age i find it rather disturbing that a factory can mix a load of poison chemicals together & add them to tabbaco leaf then sell them to the public who will inhale this poisen into their lungs.

ive been a smoker for 10 yrs, iam in the process of quiting.
two days without a ciggie & iam already feeling the benefits of a non smoker (food tastes great, feeling 100% fitter,
no coughing, teeth getting whiter & breath smelling fresh....my question is, do you think the days of smoking will be a thing of the past in years to come

I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism about four years ago, and once i started taking synthroid, i started gradually losing weight. For the past year, I've not been taking my medicine like I should have and have gained quite a bit of weight back. I've been regularly taking my medicine again for about six months, but so far I'm still carrying around these extra pounds. I'm dieting, exercising some and taking my meds. Is there any thing else I could do to lose this weight?

I read that when Jesus was on the cross his side was pierced and water and blood came out. What is the diagnosis of water and blood coming from a wound? Why would there be water? I find this strange.

I have already booked an appointment to see my doctor but they are not going to be able to see me for a few days, so in the meantime, I just want to ask around on what this might be and if anyone ever experienced anything similar.

I have been having this constant cramping for about 5 days now. It feels like diarrhea pain, it can get really bad at times, sometimes it even wakes me up at night. When it happens, I feel like I can't speak because it is that painful, I sweat. It seems to get worse when I drink something especially when I drink water (it doesn't matter what kind of water - bottled, tap...). When it happens, I run for the toilet because it feels like I can't hold it in anymore, but when I get there, there's nothing, I just sit there with an incredible amount of pain that sometimes almost makes me cry. Starting today my tummy feels kinda heavy and it looks swollen as well. I was thinking of going to the emergency, but I don't know if it's something that I need to go there for

It started awhile ago, I get these squiggly lines in my eyes that look kinda like rippling water, it's hard to describe. Lately they are becoming more frequent and I'm not sure if I should see a Doctor or an Eye doctor....sometimes it's faint and just for a couple minutes, other times it gets bad ... to the point that I can't see properly and have to sit down ... those ones seem to last longer .... anyone know what this might be?

One of my guitar idols Jason Becker has had it since the late 80's. He is no longer able to move his body or play guitar but he still composes via a computer using eye movements. His condition has been stable for several years now.

I know he can't live forever but he does seem to be beating the odds. What is the avarage lifespan with this disease?

For those not familiar with his playing, he is worth checking out on the net. At 17 he released his first solo album mixing metal and neo classical music and helped solidify the neo classical shred movement.

I understand that the sleepy dirt in your eyes, when you wake up in the morning, is caused by a microscopic animal. Is this so? Is there a way to treat this so you will not have granules in the corner of your eyes in the morning?

My girlfriend went camping this weekend and got back yesterday. Last night we made love. Well this morning when she was getting dressed, I noticed there was a tick on her butt where her swimsuit line must have been. This means the tick was burrowed into her for AT LEAST 24 hours. I know she needs to go see the docter, and I am encouraging her to do so. I was hoping to get an expert opinion. What kind of viruses are found in wood ticks? Are the viruses contageous? I know the doctor will be able to answer all of these questions, I am just a little worried and want to know something now.

This is exactly what the little bugger looked like:
