I had my low back x-rayed, the doc said I have narrowing discs, then she wanted me to get a MRI, so I did, I am still waiting on results but the MRI dude told me it looked like lumbar spinal stenosis. Does this require surgery? Thanks

but i was dx back in 99 after an endosscopy. at that time i was over 200 lbs i had then lost 150 lbs and had no problems but when i was put back on prednisone i started having gerd again and even with that my food would get stuck in my throat or trouble swallowing which i could not determine that with the myasthenia gravis i been battling for 14 yrs.i am wondeing if the food getting stuck could be from that or from being intubated 2 times in one week whereas it could have created scar tissue, cause that was when it really started giving me trouble, but i cant dismiss the fact that i had it before. is it also possible that a hiatal hernia can disappear when you lose weight and return again or what is this problem or could this problem be coming from. will ultimately go to the doctor but it seems so hard for them to understand what i am saying and i am getting frustrated.

Sometimes I'm just overwhelmingly tired and need to lay down for awhile. Then I feel better but then I haven't accomplished a lot. At least after I rest I am able to do things again. What is Chronic Fatique all about?

I am looking into becoming a nurse, and what I was wondering is: Is there a need or demand for nurses in specialized fields like burn wards. Will hospitals (lets say one that has a burn ward) help pay for the required schooling. And (not meaning to sound greedy), is the pay a different for specialized nurses

My son has severe nosebleeds and I have been told that they could cauterize his nose to help stop it. The only thing that I have been doing to try and curb these is to keep his nose moist by putting vaseline inside his nostrils. Are there any other alternatives or is this the only thing that might really help him?

She doesn't have any other symptoms like fever or anything, but the rash seems to have gotten worse and it's incredibly itchy. She's putting pure aloe on it but it's not really helping. Her soap isn't scented or anything, and she can't figure out what else would be causing the irritation, because she hasnt' changed her routine or the products she uses, and this has never happened before.

She never gets rashes or breaks out so this is highly unusual. Anybody had something like that happen to them before? She does work out regularly and so she works up a sweat, but she's been using this deoderant for quite a long time so it would be odd to think that all of a sudden this deoderant would be the cause of the problem..
