for 3 days now, I have suffered from extreme nausea and weight loss. I have lost 19 pounds in a week. I also have been passing black blood clots in my stool. I know I need to see a doctor, and will try to do that tomorrow, but until then, would like ideas on what this could be. I recently had a baby and was given adipex to help lose weight, but I obviously don't need it anymore. I am so lethargic that the adipex doesn't even help. I pretty much sleep all day with the new baby. Any ideas?

Hello!
A family member has been smoking for at least the last ten years. I am really worried about him and would like him to quit smoking, although I know that is up to the person doing it, I just do not want to see anything happen to him.

Anyway, I know he is addicted, I have never smoked so I do not know anything about how addicting cigarettes can be, but would like to find a way to get him to quit. He is very stubborn and gets mad when people talk to him about it so I am in a rock and a hard place. What would you do?

Also, would you quit smoking if you could?
Are you a smoker or a non smoker?

I will be a morning/get ready person for someone with cerebral palsy this upcoming fall. I'm a bit nervous, because it's the first job I've had that's so one on one and I don't have any experience with people with CP. I've read up on it, but I'm not sure what to expect.

I know CP comes with varying degrees of challenges, but I'd like to be prepared so that I'm not caught off guard and everything goes smoothly.

Does anyone havae words of advice or can share their experiences?

What is particularly challenging and how do you handle it?

I'm pretty sure that's what it is. I have had this small lump in my armpit for 2 months now. Its pea sized and usually causes me no pain. What is it? My mom won't take me to the doctor because she says its just a fat deposit. I can't take myself there because I'm only 14.

I think that if I do an action a particular number of times, I will be saved from something awful. This question is an example. I wrote "action"...you know I forgot, but anyway, thats what I thought. If I wrote what I forgot, I thought something bad would happen. What is this? Is it dangerous?

I'm a teenager and I suddenly dropped twenty pounds over the summer, leaving me at 5 feet 1 and a half inches and 105 pounds. My parents are worried and I have no idea why I lost so much weight. I'm eating regularly and also on two medications Plaquenil and Prednisone. A side effect of Prednisone is weight gain but I'm still losing weight. What's happening?

Really seems possible to me.
I also think that vaccine reaction could be part of the problem, but I don't think it alone would account for the high increase in
diagnosed autistic children.
