my coworker told me this. i don't know if I'm naive to what REALLY goes on in the world or if thats complete b.s.

In recent years, there's been an explosion of life-saving treatment advances against breast cancer, bringing new hope and excitement. Instead of only one or two options, today there's an overwhelming menu of treatment choices that fight the complex mix of cells in each individual cancer. The decisions — surgery, then perhaps radiation, hormonal (anti-estrogen) therapy, and/or chemotherapy — can feel overwhelming. *link removed by mod*

I'm not a heavy drinker, I never got even close to being drunk. But whenever I drink alcohol my body seems to reject it. Sometimes after a glass, or sometimes even just after a few sips of beer, my stomach gets sick and upset and I feel like throwing up (which I manage to avoid). I'm not trying to drink to get drunk or anything, but it does cheer up a bit and I think ...

From around 2 months, I've been having moments in which I feel as if the whole world is shaking, my head is revolving, and that I'm being pushed into my chair because it is falling backwards. So far, it has occured only while I was sitting, and I never tried standing yet while this was happening. Then within the same time period, I've had another issue. For around 30-40 seconds, all of my bodies senses ...

Hi all,

Since October I've suffered from unexplained stomach pain/cramps which have gradually gotten worse as the months pass. I initially went through the Government-funded hospital scheme that we have in this country, which turned up...nothing. They tested for coeliac disease, and when that turned up negative, the doctor just said that I have mild IBS, handed me a prescription to take until 'everything subsided', and have a nice life. They had zero effect. After ...

Hi,

I don't know what's going on with me.
I have mental health issues, as are written in my signature, but this is more physical, I think...

I've been feeling nauseous for years, so much so I was put on Metoclopramide 10mg 3x a day 2 years ago and am still taking it, despite the risks. I'm also on Quetiapine and another tablet which I won't name.
Recently, I've been feeling increasingly more nauseous, and ...

For a while now I've notced that whenever I eat anything, a short period of time later, I'm starving. I don't really eat that much in the first place (I have an eating disorder), but whenever I'm forced to eat a lot, an hour later I'll be starving. For example, I went out to dinner with my family yesterday night and by the time I was finished eating I was way too full, but an ...
