I had all the blood work done precribed when you go to your first prenatal appt and my doc called today and said my platelet count was low (57). Now, I have to see a hematologist and maternal specialist. This wasnt bought up in my previous pregnancies and to my knowledge hasnt been a concern while I wasnt pregnant, even though I usually only get blood work done while Im pregnant. But has this happened to anyone or anyone know somebody that this has happened to? Im so scared, I dont know what could be wrong.

I don't normally drink, and being christmas I decided to have a half a bottle of beer and less than half of a glass of that irish cream stuff. Maybe about an hour or two later, I wasn't feeling well and started to vomit. Since last night I've vomited approx. 6 or 7 times starting with food and now a yellowish coloured substance (i'm thinking bile)

Anyway, I was wondering what it might be and what I could do, tea/water seems to be making it worse. And I'm a medium set person so that amount of alcohol probably wouldnt have an affect on me other than the fact that I don't usually drink.

I have a really bad cold and cough, I can't sleep because every time I lie down, I feel like I cannot breathe, I sleep for about an hour and wake up feeling like I'm choking on my own throat, is there any way I can get some sleep for longer than this, medicines only work when I'm awake, I'm worn out and on the verge of tears, all ideas welcome.

It's partly psychosomatic--I anticipate it so it makes me all the more nauseous. I'm not pregnant, I've been having this for years. Not galbladder problem. No pain. It's like anxiety attacks. Sweet food esp. makes me nauseous.

My grandmother is in a nursing home in Richmond, Va. I took a visit to her on Christmas day and was informed that if she was to have a bowl movement that they down provide diapers for the folks to wear they have a pad underneath them for bowl movement purposes and a nurse is to check in very frequently to make sure no bowl movements or accidents have taken place and if they have to get her cleaned up and a fresh pad put down. But in the two hours I was there with her she complained of pain because she was holding her bowl movement and was afraid to release it. She would not tell me why she was so afraid. On top of this in the two hours I was there only one nurse stepped in (<--keyword) but only to drop off food for the other older lady in the same room. This HAS to be very very wrong and unlawful!! Am I correct or are they aloud to run things this way? It seems to me if she sits in her bowl for that amount of time it is going to cause bad infection. Am I right? Thank you in advance.

Scenario: I have developed this problem; Whenever I lie down sideways (Either resting prone, back or on my sides) I start to ensure strange effects.

1: My breathing rate changes
2: I begin to have heart palpitations
3: My heartbeat becomes mildly faster
4: I have an uncomfortable feeling in my upper chest area


I made an appointment to go to the doctor's office and upon evaluation he claimed that there were no visable problems; blood pressure was fine and heart rate was perfect - No flaws or abnormal beats.

However "no visable problems" does not explain what the problem is, and felt that it was in my best interests not to know, however this problem can prevent me from going to sleep for 30-60 minutes, sometimes forcing me to wake up suddenly, taking in a deep breath, or causing me to stir constantly in an attempt to get into a more comfortable position. I am aware of a way to suppress the effects (Though for decency, I shall not post it here).

What is the problem?

Last friday-The other day got to my grandparents to take some advil after 4 hr trip, asked it I wanted some food I could not say the word yes. Fell to one knee and then on my back, its like my brain was shut off for a short time then in very slow mode for 1-2hrs. Ambulance came and everything they checked was ok, but I couldnt say my street address. Got to the ER and ekg,blood test, catscan all were neg said DR. How can this be? I have been feeling this was for over 1 year now, spaced out and the amb. driver said it wouldnt be from sleep. My legs, arms and back were all twitching real fast and I could stop them, I knew what was going on but couldnt really move or do anything but breath and that seemed like I might not remember to. No major pain at all, loss of feeling, but I have had that over the last 1yr. Since then it seems cant get enough sleep, feeling of brain shutting off again, hot neck back of head. ANY IDEAS Since ER blew me off. My life is in slow mode.

Where are these "studies"? Where are these "results"? These same people who are making these claims are now spoutting off that aspartame caused the gulf war syndrome... that it was created by the government to hold you down... WTF??? Is aspartame REALLY bad for you or is it just a conspiracy theory??

I'm 13.
My dad just came upstairs and said he had pain in his back, his chest and his shoulders.. he's gone to the hospital now.
But I'm really scared for some reason..
Will he be okay:( I know there's no way you guys can know that.. but what could it be? Something he hate? He only had soup. I know they won't be back till morning.. it's already 1:26AM.. :( Any similar things happen to anyone? I'm seriously so scared..

The bill was for $45,000.00. My insurance company paid approximately $43,000.00. Then the hospital sent me a bill for the difference. Isn't there some kind of law stating that they can't do that??

I am located in NYC, if that matters.

Thanks

condoms, pill, coil etc are 99% safe so 1 person in 100 can get pregnant Pill does not stop you getting an STD. Most people do not normally show sysmtoms of pregnancy in the first few weeks so if you are 1 week late and feel sick it does not mean you are pregnant. If he says he is sterile or condoms dull the feeling DO NOT believe him. Keep safe and careful.Happy Christmas and New year
