Other - Diseases - August 2007

I know there is something not right with me, can anyone suggest any advice before I pester my doctor? My symptoms are as follows
- bad lower back pain, left side only. comes & goes but can be so bad it hurts to walk
- frequent urination & bright yellow urine
- quite thirsty, but would not say excessive
- headache, nausea
- recurrent thrush
- lower abdominal pain, left side only (have been diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome and this could be due to that)
- heartburn
- taste of blood in mouth but no blood
- generally tired, run down, have a bad chest and a cold.

I came off the pill at the beginning of July after being on it for 5 years to ttc. I started bleeding 4/5 days before my period was due and it only lasted 2 days (browny red in colour).

It has now been 10 days since started bleeding, took a preg test on Sat it was neg. what could this be?? someone has said it sounds like diabetes.. but could it be because I have come off the pill.... any ideas?

just a little worried......i'm 20 and i've always had a 'sensitive' stomach but in the past year or so it's got worse. I never have pain, just sometimes discomfort/gripes that are relieved by going to the toilet or passing gas. my symptoms are mostly diarrohea but i read that crohn's is symptomised by going to the toilet up to 20 times a day - mine is mostly in the morning, i get the urge to go twice or three times in the morning then i'm usually fine all day. sometimes there is a little mucus there but this has only happened two different times, each lasting for a few days (must be a flare up). there's never been any blood there. i can get awful gas and my stomach always seems to be rumbling! i am an incredibly anxious person and it gets worse when i am anxious - when i was on hol for a week in july i haven't been happier for years and my stomach was great! only thing that concerns me - i have lost a stone in the past 18 months but think it is cos of my anxiety putting me off my food

I've looked up a ton of different things but nothing seems right. I crave ice and blood (I'm not kidding. I'm starting to feel like a vampire or something.) and I can never hold still. I've had sleeping problems and lately have been having nosebleeds. I get musle spazms a lot as well, by the way. WTF? What is wrong with me?

Ok, well my cousins friend fell in a coma due to a car accient in 2000. She just woke up about a month ago. She lived in Manhattan. But she was transferred to a hospital in Massachusttes. So she is going back to NYC. The problem is she worked in WTC1 as a finance person. She doesn't know they were destroyed. So now she has no job or anything. Also she lost many friends in the attack. We found out. So how are we going to tell her this?

As I've had pain/pressure in my left arm. I didn't have cardiac tests done as they did blood pressure and checked oxygen including rechecking pulse and feel that I have a nerve pinched in my left elbow (no one thought it was attributed to cardiac issues). I'm still frightened. It just started this morning and I do have anxiety although I have medication for it. I'm frightened that the doctor is wrong or that I'm just still anxious......I don't know what does anyone think? 34, in shape, have had tests done 2 months ago and they were fine.....am I just overreacting? Thank you.

2 days ago i noticed a lump on my foot. It looked alot like a bite, and it was extremly itchy. I tried by best to leave it alone but it was almost impossible. The next day the lump was bigger and even more itchy. I left it for a day hoping it would go away. Nothing happened. It got worse. The next day my foot was really swollen. Its still swollen today and its really annoying me >=[.. what should i do?

18 months ago I had burning, stabbing sensations in my upper left chest/back and all down my left leg and arm. Apart from that felt great. All the tests were done with nothing found. These pains very gradually died down over six months. What I didn't realise was that they came about after too much alcohol. The initial bout was 2 days after I got drunk at a works party. Is it alcohol poisoning? Have I damaged my liver/kidneys/spleen? after all this time they are pretty much ok however I do get twinges now and again but nothing like at first.

I am now down to four pints of beer a week instead of a day. I am eating lots of green stuff to get my anti-oxidants in and I haven't had a cigarette since the day the pains started ( I was smoking a lot up until this - I believe that can mess your functions up as well)

My main concern is will my spleen/liver/what ever eventually turn cancerous?
I am 40.

Thanks
