I never have trouble getting to work and my marriage does not seem to suffer. I drink quite a lot. I never drink and drive. I never feel hung-over. I don't feel like there are short term effects but maybe long term effects?

Opinions?

Everyday my stomach hurts, it feels like i have to vomit, sometimes i do (sorry so nasty) I don't know if its heartburn, it doesn't feel like anything is burning, nor does it feel like its in my chest, its my stomach, it doesn't sound like heartburn, but when I take zantac, (the perscription), or pepcid complete, it helps, so I guess my question is, could it still be heartburn even though it doesn't sound like it...? I can't go to the doctor because I don't have insurance, I get the zantac Rx from my dad.

Okay well just so you know the history. I have had sharp pain maybe three or four times over the course of a few years not in my vagina but deeper almost my core kind of. But it only had lasted a few minutes then goes away. I dont think its anything. But just recently I thought I might have a hernia cause my lower abdomen on the right side hurts but just last night I realized in the crease between my lower abdomen and leg that I have a very tender lump. The other side is also a little tender but nothing like my right side. It feels like a lump but I dont know if it is or if its just a gland that hurts or something. I dont know my exact question I guess I just want to know if its normal to have a lump there? And do women ever get sharp pains like that? I had an abortion last week so I dont know if maybe the swollen lump is a symptom of an infection or what?

It started with a bruise on my bicep about two weeks ago then another two bruises underneath that still haven't healed/gone away. After the bruises came some little red dots, kinda like a rash.

Then, I noticed some yellow blotches/bruises on my chest area.

Then today my girlfriend noticed I had another bruise/blotch on my neck this morning.

I've also developed a pretty heavy cough and some flu-like symptoms.

I also had hay-fever for the first time in my life last week.

Any ideas?

I have just been put onto this by a friend whose studing natural medicines and thought I would share with you all.
I have just been told about a remedy for the following:
Obesity (due to water weight)
Kidney stones
Kidney infections
Bladder infections
Urinry problems or infections
Bloating

All you do is buy corn with the ears on it. Pll the ears back in between the ears & the corn is some stringy things- corn silk. Boil a handful of the silk - I get 2 serves from one peice of corn. Boil for say 2-3 min, then pour into a cup- use a fork to get the silky out and drink... For kidney stones it says to repeat twice a day for 30 days

Easy as that- I had a kidney stone & it really helped me. Obviously if you havent been diagnosed, you should go to a doctor and not just do what I recommend but if you have these probs and have tried other things try this and see...

Google it and see if you dont believe

I'm on my fourth course of chemotherapy, and now a virtual diabetic because of the glucose flushes during and after treatment, and steroids to aid the anti sick treatment. I had pain today after intra venous treatment via my hand and wanted to cry [in private] but no tears just chronic ice cold blue pain behind my eyes.

Hello

Ever since I was little, milk gave me diarrhea.
Have you guys heard of worms in the stomach? I think I may just have some worm infection going on. Whenever I drink something real sweet, like Tampico juice, I get these ugly stabbings, like poking sensation, bothersome, in my stomach. It scares me, because I cannot move when I get that sudden pain and it feels as if my stomach is stretching or ripping apart. I went to the doctor and he said it was irritable bowel syndrome. He prescribed Famotidine and they seem to have worked. I also eat a lot of fatening foods, like Carl's Karcher. Also, many of the times, I get this ugly sort of heartburn in my chest, esophagus. Yesterday I was throwing up like crazy and I felt sick, while I also had diarrhea. Did I just go through some food poisening? Stomach infection? How do I get rid of it? I feel like I have a fever. Is it Acid Reflux? Anyone with any similar experiences or symptoms? I have a weak stomach.
