My nephews dad’s mother has severe Huntington’s disease, my brother in law doesnt yet have any sighns that he may have it but what are the chances of my nephew having it as he gets older? It is a disease that is passed on to your children and that some can have the gean without having the disease. The doctors wont be able to tell if he will get it until he is older. He is only 3 months right now.

Doctors have just discovered a cure for metastatic melanoma. A type of skin cancer. Basically, the doctors genetically re-engineered the AID cell to kill cancer cells. The HIV/AID cell does NOT infect the subject, but only seeks out cancer cells.

My dad died from metastatic melanoma, so I thought I’d do some research.

Now, this is still under testing.. So my question to you is, do you think this will work?

This guy at my dad’s job is completely hairless. He has no eye lashes, no eye brows, no hair on his head, no leg hair, no chess hair, and no underarm hair. He has no hair!!

Please help!! Thank You!!

My dad has Macular Degeneration and seems to need brighter and brighter light to see. This is even in daylight hours. I just want to make sure I’m not missing something and that there’s something else going on along with the Macular Degeneration.

I bought some new mattreses for my parents and we’ve always put them out in the sun but a few weeks later we found bed bugs hiding underneath the sides of the mattress eventhough we put the mattress in the sun. My Dad even had to get rid of his mattress cause we couldn’t get rid of the bed bugs.

My dad is weaning off of zyprexa and hes got some pretty bad diarrhea and I’m wondering if thats a symptom of it.

What is an eye twitch a symptom of? My dad has said he feels like he has a cold and lately has this eye twitch.. does anyone know what this could be?

What is Jaundice with the bottom of the stomach swelling where the intestines are a symptom of?
No its not happening to me its happening to my dad, he took to many Tylenols and he turned yellow on Sunday. His stomach has swollen too. Is this liver damage or something else or reversible liver damage? He is extremely stubborn and won’t go to the hospital, no pain.

I plan to take my 7-year-old to a doctor at Children’s Hospital for help with bedwetting. What kind of doctor should I take him to?
There have been no psychological changes or trauma, but his dad was a bedwetter as a kid, too. I don’t scold him or embarrass him about it – he wears pull-ups, and it’s kind of a non-issue. But, the problem’s not getting any better, and I’d like to get some professional help before it messes with his self-esteem.
