I have had this pain for about a week now and it just feels really tight slightly above my waist and just under my ribs. It feels better if I put pressure on it but it's not excrutiating pain or anything like that. What is it?

It has been low for the last few months and I have had one Iron Infusion. I came close to passing out at work last week and am concerned about the long term affects of this low Iron Level.

They used to be really clear and bright but these days they are all bloodshot and dull. I don't smoke or drink and I eat ok, so what is causing this? I would really like to know how to make them look healthy. Any ideas?

My young one has a wicked case of hives like i've never seen before. He's covered head to toe. We're giving him antihistamines like the dr. said, but they just keep coming and going. Does anybody know how long they can last, and it they'll keep coming and going like this. Any info would be great . Thanks.

My husband gets boils on his upper thighs. I was wandering what causes them, and is there something that can be done to prevent them? I have as yet to be able to get him to see the Doc about it.

Ok. I was in the Philippines and my eyesight is good. Nice, I can see clearly, I can read the stuff on the overhead projector in church. Then I'm here in California and I can't see the stuff on the overhead. so I got glasses. (100)

Then we went back to the Philippines for the holiday and I can't see the stuff at church.

It's a one month change. Am I gonna die?

What are those little dusty white circular things that move when you stare at something? I think they are on your eye? I'm not sure, if you've ever layed outside and just stare at the blue sky for a while you see them and they move around I think it is something to do with your eye but I'm not sure... does anybody know? I would be DEEPLY thankful! Thankyou

If I sit outdoors and read a book (which I like to do a lot--except for this problem) my vision gradually become "starry". I can describe it as being like having Vaseline rubbed over my eyeballs and trying to look through it. It takes quite a while for my eyesight to return to normal. Does anyone know the physical reason this happens? Does it happen to anyone else out there?

On Feb 1 I sprained my ankle badly. Didn't go to a doc about it (I could walk, so my dance prof said it was ok) until a month later when it seemed to get even worse (more painful, swelling wasn't going away). Diagnosis? Grade 2-3 sprain of the lateral ankle ligaments and the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th metatarsals.

I was put in an aircast pneumatic boot (aka knee-high moon boot) for 6 weeks, from March to the very end of April. X-rays: no fractures. The swelling went down and so did the pain. Went to a chiro and physio for the ankle after, it felt nearly normal.

I am a dancer and am very fit, but now after every class, even after walking long distances, my ankle really ...not hurts, but aches. The pain is enough to wake me sometimes, or force me to sit. Its a deep, dull, ache all around the ankle joint. It is also very easy to sprain and swells readily now... Any ideas on why this is still a problem so many months later?

I sprayed perfume in my eyes about 2 1/2 weeks ago and they are just blurry. Not all the time. And not both of them at the same time...for the most part. Sometimes it will be the right eye. Sometimes the left. Sometimes neither are blurry. But I've gotten perfume in my eyes before...it just never took this long to get my vision totally restored so I'm pretty sure this isn't because of perfume. Does anyone have ANY clue what could be up? What I should do? I'm a hypochondriac annnnnd I'm freaking myself out that it's like eye cancer which my mom says it isn't. Buuuut is it possible it could be??? I'm really freaked out. Whenever something happens to my eyes...I just freak. HELP!
