I know..lots of fluids, sleep, etc.
But I have a little bit of a sore throat.
I really need some ways to get better fast, because my first basketball game is tomorrow, and our team only has 8 players on it. So, I need to be there, or they'll only have 2 (maybe 1) subs. Any quick ways to make my throat feel better?

My stomach is a little queasy, and I've got, not diarreah but it's not completely solid. Now I hope to rule out a stomach virus, because I had one, not very long ago. Just a few months back.

Something else, is that i'm shaking. I can't stop shaking, plus I'm not cold. Please tell me something.

I just started feeling sick this evening, I think I have a cold. it seems to be getting quickly and progressively worse (some nausea, skin sensitivity, join and muscle aching, occasional stomach ache) but my biggest symptom of all is that my throat hurts when I swallow. I've been sucking on cough drops and I had hot tea, but I can hardly swallow. It hurts SO MUCH, I think I'm close to tears. Should I be worried that it hurts this much? It's trumped all my previous soar throats.

My doctor says I have a life inside of me... I can't believe it. It even sends out little gifts for me every morning.

But the doctor told me I have to kill it.

Do I really have to?

please help me understand my x-ray results for my lower back. it says "there is sacralisation of the 5th lumbar vertebra on the right. The disc spaces and alignment of the vertebral bodies appears to be generally preserved. Minimal sclerosis is seen generally at the facet joints suggesting a little OA change here. "

My sisters fiance has high liver enzymes. Apparently he has bacteria in his stomach causing some condition but the doctor said that is not the cause of his high liver enzymes. He does not drink much, quit smoking and is not overweight at all. What could it be????

I had a screening done at work, and my T4 levels were high. Does this mean I need to worry about Hyperthyroid, or do all the other levels need to be high as well? All the other tests were in the normal range.

I know I need to talk to my doctor (I'm actually waiting for a call back from him), but was wondering what those out there thought.

Also, All the websites say the normal range is this.. and if yours is high, it's possible you have it. But how high does it need to be?

Who sits down and makes up the laws for insurance regulations as to who is or is not eligible for surgery?

My friend has a lot of severe illnesses. The medication for one of these has eaten away at a lot of cartiledge in her body. She needs a total knee, which the ins co will not authorize bcause she is onoly 43. She may not live to see 44 as it is. Each day on this knee just makes it and her other ailments worse.

Another lady we know has carotid stenosis and a brain aneurism. Neither of these operations will be authorized by the ins co becuse they do not meet their criteria of percentage of blockage in the case of the carotid stenosis and severity in the case of the aneurism. An aneurism has degrees of severity in their eyes? What a crock. Let's wait until the person has a stroke and then fix it.

They pay for people to go have reversals of their tubal ligations or vasectomies so they can have more welfare kids but put the cabash on someone with a life threatening illness.

I dont know what is wrong with me but it is really getting me down.. I have emetophobia, a phobia of vomit. and this time last year i was really bad, the doctors sent me to see a cognitive behavior therapist and things started to get alot better. I am still petrified of sick, but not even half as bad as i was. But a couple of months ago i lost 2 stone and stopped eating a lot. i went to the doctors and they couldn't find anything wrong. i then started getting a horrible watery mouth and pains in right side and my rib feeling bruised. The doctor sent me for a scan and found that there was nothing wrong there. doctors put me on lapronzonole. and they have stopped the watery mouth. but my rib still hurts. i then had a miscarriage. and since then i have had a headache and feel dizzy. today i feel really down and miserable.. i have been to the doctors again. but they said to get my eyes checked to which i did. I also get a achy back and my neck hurts. i struggle to get too sleep and to wake

My son will be two next month. His pediatrician, whom I am about to switch, says that his speech is slightly behind, due to constant fluid in his ears. I myself, wear two hearing aides due to ear infections, etc. The pediatrician has always seemed to be so lackadaisical about any prevention of hearing problems. I want to do everything I can to prevent it! Now that the doc says his speech is behind and there is a lot of fluid in his ears, I would think there should be some further steps taken beside antibiotics. As I said, the doc doesn’t seem to really care and doesn’t seem to have a genuine concern about my child in general. Am I over reacting?? How many ear infections does it take until my son has hearing loss and someone realizes there may be a problem??

My mom has ulcerative colitis, she has developed ulcers all over her legs that the doctor specificly told her was a very rare form of the disease where istead of the ulcers staying on her intestines they also travel to the skin. (This is NOT diabetes we were told by multiple doctors already and she was tested)

However she is in a lot of pain and refuses to go to the doctor to be poked and prodded again. She said the only way she would be seen would be to have them come to her. How can I get a home doctor visit??? We live in the Boston MA area
her regular doctor doesn't normally make house calls should I ask anyways or see a visiting nurse. I really want her to be looked at again she's had ulcers for 6 months and there not going away...she's been ok but now she's having pain.

Please help me out where can I find a doctor willing to come to our home?? Thanks in advance

Recently I went to the doctor and was told I have high blood pressure. She took a lot of blood and did various tests, and when the results came back, she said I am basically fine except for my HBP and that my liver seems to be producing too many enzymes. More blood tests over time have shown the same results.

Are there medical illnesses that can have the overproduction of liver enzymes as an early indication? My doctors are focusing only on the HBP and I can't get them to discuss the liver issue with me because it is not my "primary medical issue".

They tell me that my liver produces too many enzymes in an "Oh, by the way..." manner and leave it at that. I wish to know of any potential issues that could arrise with this symptom.

On a further note. I have also been diagnosed with gall stones and am scheduled to have my gall bladder removed. Don't know if that makes a difference, but figured I'd throw that in, just in case it does.
