My sister has been having seizures and migranes. Our NHS neurologist is useless. She has a history of some mental health problems and so he assumes that she is faking it - which she is definatly not! On one hospital visit, when haveing a seizure, they did sternum rubs etc which left huge bruises, with no response.
When she is having the migranes, as well as having the seizures some of the time, she loses her speech - she knows what she wants to say and can write it but can't say it, and she loses use of her right arm.
We got a private consult and it was sugeested that she has hemiplegic migrane, and that the possible treatments included anti-epileptic drugs, but because of the seizures she can't try those until she has had an EEG done; however, the NHS consultant won't arrange one, and we can't afford to get more treatment privatly.
We have been told that while she has the hemiplegic migrane, which causes the speech and arm problems, but he wasn't sure about the seizures.

I thought this was something that only children got.
I quite often 'wake up' and see spiders on the ceiling, either crawling, or dangling down from its web. Nearly every time this happens, I jump out the bed, heart pounding, scared to get back into bed until I have checked there are no spiders in there.
Sometimes I have my litlun in bed with me, and once I dragged him out of bed too - while he was slepping, as I thought the huge spider was dangling right above him.
I also sometimes 'see' smoke by the ceiling, and the first time it happened i was convimced there was a fire. I was petrified.
Luckily I am not scared to go to bed, or go to sleep, but i am worried that this will get worse.
Are these night terrors? What causes them, and should I see a Doctor?

I am in my teens and I am finding it hard to keep my concentration, have a dry, thirsty feeling in my mouth all the time and am underweight, with a BMI of 16, and I don’t know why. I go pale suddenly and feel faint and weak; my legs tremble and feel close to collapse. Today after only half an hour of swimming I collapsed in the change rooms and threw up. There are other things that aren’t right either. What could it be?

I recently returned to work after I was violently ill for 3 months. I was tested for colitis, cancer, croan's disease and after finding nothing they diagnosed me with IBS. I have to watch what I eat and drink so my symptoms don't get too severe. I work at a buffet and have suddenly become very scared of germs. I see so many different kinds of people handling the utensils. I feel that I'm so supseptable to illness. I have never taken any sick time for this before. I had a little bit of an IBS episode at work the other day and have come to the conclusion that people are not very sanitary and I might get sick from them. They are coughing and sneezing and blowing their noses or maybe just haven't bathed for a few days. I really like my job but I'm afraid this will interfere with my customer service. Its getting to the point where I won't even touch utensils handled by anyone unless I have gloves on.
Is my fear irrational?

Hello, I've been considered a big for my age when I was in elementary school (2 - 3 inches taller than the other kids) and up to including grade 8. But after graduating high school, many of the boys were taller me than me (up to 6'3 - 6'4 even).

I am 5'10 - 5'11 (not too sure what height) - Male
My dad is 5'11
My tallest cousin is about 6'0 - 6'1 preceding my other cousins which are around my height 5'11 - 6'0.

My doctor told me that (after reading my graph) that I have the chance to grow up to be 6'0 - 6'1 tall. This is when I was in grade 8 - 10 (not too sure). But I am still the same height as I was before. I don't understand!

However, during grade 9 - current, I don't exercise, sleep less, not having a proper diet, and stayed at home for the past 5 years. I want to grow taller.

Currently I work in a warehouse setting, I work two days a week and lift at times, which sometimes my back does sustain pressure from lifting heavy objects. Do I still have a chance?

My seven year old daughter has multiple disabilities, including arthritis. Several therapists have said that swimming would be ideal to improve joint mobility and help with some other problems she is having. A friend said that she had heard before of someone getting assistance with this sort of thing. We live in Texas and my daughter has Medicaid. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

nicotine lead and tar arent naturally found in tobacco straight from the ground. homegrown tobacco that was dried and cut is way(ok, at least) better than a pack of cigarettes from the store.

When I wear my contacts sometimes, the inside corner of my right eye gets bloodshot and painful. It's only this corner of this eye that is affected. The redness stays for days, any suggestions or known reasons for the pain?

Occasionally, I'll have little bumps on my hands, and I thought they were hives, but I've been applying Benadryl Itch Cream for over a week, and it still hasn't gone away! I also find little bumps on the inner sides of my fingers, which are a little itchy as well. =[ What's wrong with me?!
