I have a sore throat and I want to know how I can cure it .

I may sound a little paranoid, but I think I have a brain tumor. I’ve been acting a little differently and I’ve been having headaches for a long time. So what type of doctor should I talk to? A psychologist maybe?
Please enlighten me.

I had the flu about two weeks ago. I feel a bit better but I’m still really run down and the cough seems to be worse. I can barely stand up after coughing. I have a doctor’s appt. later today but I’m just curious if anyone knows anything.

I heard that there was a disease in which fecal matter does not exit the body and goes into the legs and other areas instead. Is this a real disease/condition and what is the name of it?

I’m a student that has to write a 10-15 page paper and give a 10 minute presentation on a pathogenic disease. I don’t want to do it on something everyone has heard of before (like AIDS), and I don’t want to do it on something depressing (like muscular dystrophy) or sick (like gonorrhea). I was thinking like something more along the lines of Kuru, a disease that you get by eating other people’s brains. Do you know of any other interesting pathogenic diseases?

For about a month now I’ve been having chronic episodes of deja vu, usually pertaining to dreams I’ve had (or think I’ve had). I’ve been having instances of deja vu since I was a child, but it’s never occurred this often before, and most recently the episodes are also starting to trigger sensations of nausea. Is this something I should be worried about?

It turns out i most likely have this disease called Raynauds, i haven’t been officially diagnosed yet. I have had this pain since i was pretty little and I am sick of it. I am wondering how do i tell my doctor that I have tried marijuana for my pain and that it worked?

Also, can you give me some of the best vitamins for the heart. I’ve heard vitamin C is good for the arteries but alas, unproven claims interspersing about vitamin c otherwise.

Some of my arteries or capillaries are apparently blocked coz of symptoms e.g. shortness of breath, on and off chest pains i’m feelin lately.

I’d visited physicians but all of them scoof me that i’m too young to have heart diseases. They perform some tests e.g. physical check up, ekg, & 2d echo w/ doppler and all upshots went well.

All i need to know now for the mean time, before another sojourn to a different doc, is the exceptional BEST HOME and NATURAL cure and extraordinary essential tips to declog this onset blocking.

Lastly, having an examplar blood pressure, does that underscores good heart too? If you have an onset clogged arteries does that affect blood pressure performance?

Thanks. I need badly the planet’s help!

I have a provisional diagnosis of celiac disease, but have been symptom free – except for some absorption issues. So now I have to live gluten-free. But I’m the mom, chief clerk and bottle washer. How careful do I have to be when I make regular food for my family? Can I still bake their light, fluffy and tender birthday cakes using cake flour? Sandwiches on regular bread for them? Since I don’t have symptoms, isn’t it going to be impossible to tell how much is too much?

I can look at a word like blue bunny and say blue bonnet, knowing how to spell both bunny and bonnet but process the wrong word?
