General Health Care - May 2007

As stated I am 20 and not on any medication. I love junk food but if I eat it w/in a couple hours of going to sleep, I wake up nauseous and it goes away when I eat something like fruit. This is good b/c I really should eat healthier but seems weird. This started 6 months ago. On the surface I look healthy and in shape, 5'0 & 97 lbs, but my exercise is walking campus from class to class. About two years ago I developed very low tolerance for caffeine, after being a coffee addict. Also, junk food used to serve as meals pretty often but now my body requires more healthy foods to feel good. Could my sudden intolerance be telling me something other than I shouldn't eat junk food? I.e. I'm lacking a nutrient, I have low or high something...?

Ok, last night I was walking over to my bed and the frame is metal and sliced my leg!! Everyone is asleep so I just slapped a band-aid on it and went to sleep.. This morning I took the band-aid off and naturally it was bloody...but it is also a yellow-ish color....is it infected? My mom is a registered nurse, but she is asleep because she works third shift at a trama hospital....what should I do?

I woke on Saturday morning with tingling and numbness in my left hand. I thought nothing of it- went to the kitchen to make coffee, and started feeling woosy, so I sat down. The tingling finally went away on Sunday afternoon, but I'm left still dizzy and with weaker muscles in both left arm and left leg. EKG, CT scan, and initial bloodwork came out fine. I still have the weakness and dizziness after 7 days now. What could this be?

I'm still young, but suffering from osteoarthritis. Lots of pain (on movement) and stiffness. I feel like a rusty old hinge. I don't want to start taking prescription medications for this. Instead, I'm looking for some lifestyle changes or natural solutions.

My nephew had a minor motorcycle accident and while his injuries are not life threatening, he was on a blood thinner that has kept him in the critical intensive care unit since the tuesday after Mother's Day, with kindey failure, the heart enlarging and a blood clot in one of his lungs. Well he has very good health insurance and his mother is a retired RN. My nephew is in one of the major trauma hospitals in central NJ and is fighting for his life. Since he has been in the ICU almost all of the patients that were there since he arrived and some that came after him have died. Many of them (because this is an inner city facility) have no health insurance and no family members that can be at the hospital 24/7. I honestly feel that if my nephew didn't have a constant family presence and the fact that my sister-in-law is a RN, he would have been dead days ago and would not have received the attention he has. What is your opinion?

well on the left foot, the part that really hurts is the calf to the round bone on the foot. and on the right foot every time i apply pressure to it. but the left foot has the worst pain i think theres like some vein that got stuck or whatever cause my left foot is kinda swollen compared to my right . and on my knee it hurts every time when i stand up, walk or every time i make it straight.
the doctor told me that i just need to build up more muscle around my knee and the pain on my feet will gradually be gone.

am i the only one who got this kind of crap?

i really would appreciate your answers. hope you'd help me. i'm really nervous i cant even do the things that i want to do.

I think it is called peri-anal, the space between your testicles and your anus. For the last few months it has become especially sensitive and has even begun to get larger. At times it can be almost pleasurable to stimulate, however other times it can be downright painful. I know it is probably something left to a doctor, but as I am sure you can imagine, it is an area of my body that I am a bit uncomfortable exposing.

k, like 2 weeks ago, my nephew, hes only 5 years old, had a fit, and took one of my babie's bottles and banged my back of my neck a couple times cause he didnt get his way. then i noticed that night that i could feel like clicking, or a bump in my throat sometimes when i swallow.

so then the next day it was kinda hard for me to breath, after i was laying down. and so i went to the hospital, and told them everything that i was feeling. and they said that they dont know why i am feeling that like that in my throat and they dont know whats wrong. The doc said that he thought i could have a couple things wrong, like maybe i was sick but he didnt know.

but i have noticed that i have been drinking a BUNCH of soda lately, and i was thinking that maybe it could just be like heartburn or something. But would that make a like noise when i swallow? i am really not sure what is going on. Has anyone ever had this before? PLEASE help!
