I know time is the answer everyone gives and I get it, but is there anything that actually helped you get through it while you were in the middle of it. Not cures, not supplements that fix everything, just things that made the worst days more survivable.

Last night,
I took 4 50mgs of sleep aid Diphenhydramine HCI,
I vomitted like 30 minutes or 1 hour. Later. My heart was beating fast. Or I was panicking. I went to my parents and asked them if I could go to the hospital but they said they’ll carry to the doctor today. I think I’m panicking that’s why my heart is beating fast.

Am I going to die?

Hi all, so I have been dealing with a lot of aching in my arm/shoulder joints and 'long' muscles in my arms and legs for some time now. I've also been super tired, like could sleep 16 hours a day; I limit this but whether I sleep for extended periods or not, I'm tired, struggle to think and I'm groggy a lot of the time.

My doctor has done a TON of tests for thyroid, liver function, blood counts, etc. It does look as though I'm diabetic and I have been taking meds for that which have brought my blood sugar down to the right level. I also might have cancer; I have a 'possible borderline ovarian malignancy' which I'm waiting for surgery for. I am F, 48 and perimenopausal. I used to drink a lot of alcohol but have stopped about four months ago.

I have a good sleep routine and eat proper meals, and have no apparent nutrient deficiencies.

My doctor has been making noises about fibromyalgia, which I'm sceptical about. I there anything else it might be or anything I could do to help? I just tried to clean my teeth with a tube of handcream...I just want my brain to work like it used to.

Guys please help me, I'm only 13 years old and i had a kind of intense pain in my lower rihht part of my abdomen since 3pm yesterday until today 5pm ( Asia time ), It was pretty instense yesterday, I couldn't walk, sit nor move properly/comfortably yesterday. I slept earlier at 2pm and i just woke up just right now, it's been 3 hours since i slept and my lower right abdomen pain suddenly doesn't hurt that much, I didn't vomit, i pooped and peed yesterday normally, i was feeling normal except for the pain, my parents refuse to bring me to the hospital to get a checkup, she kept saying it was my fault i should stick to this pain, I don't know what to do and I'm so scared that I'll die, I do agree that this is because of myself and my routines, but I don't appreciate hearing more discouraging and weakening words while already being so worried about myself, please give me advice guys.. I'm super scared to die

I had a jug of whole milk in my fridge that expired on October 18. It is now Oct 27 so days of consumption were the 26th, 25th and 24th. I drank 2–3 glasses daily for 3 days, with yesterday being the third day. I didn’t notice that the side of the jug had popped out. The milk wasn’t curdled, but it smelled rancid, tasted slightly bitter, and was less creamy and flavorful than usual.
Since then, I’ve thrown up every day, mainly during moderate physical activity or cardio. I also get dizzy when standing up, even slowly, sometimes with a strange warmth in my torso. I’ve had a persistent headache for 2 days that doesn’t improve with Tylenol or Advil, a very dry mouth, and difficulty eating or drinking. I’ve also experienced diarrhea, unusual confusion, difficulty forming sentences, frequent stuttering, and brain fog. On top of that, I’ve been dealing with significant acid reflux and stomach acid, possibly from vomiting.
What should I do? Are there any remedies that might help? This has been miserable, and it’s making everyday activities difficult.

Good evening. I fell down a few months ago and I am having some problems with my leg.
Relevant info: I fell down the stairs at the start of July.
There are no visible damage besides inflamation, but if you pass your finger, you can feel the "shape" of the step. I can even sit down on the stair and you can see exactly the angle of the fall.
It improved a lot with muscle relaxer and anti-inflammatory, but after a few weeks it came back.
I am 30M, 5.9 feet and 220 pounds/ 1,8m and 100kg. Causasian.

I tried going to the hospital, but the first one holded me for 7 hours and then released me without doing a single exam, the second hospital refused to do exams because it wasn't a emergency and I don't have insurance. I just want to have an idea of what is going on, so I can go after a little smarter, instead of going to a doctor and paying hundreds of dollars for him to tell me to make an exam that I know won't show anything.

So I got a blood test two weeks ago, and I decided to give them a few days to call me with the results, but I never heard anything. So, I decided to call them myself. When I called, they transferred me to the office and told me that their assistant would be the one to answer. I waited on the phone, but no one picked up, so they told me to leave a voicemail. I waited another 2 days, but still nothing.
I called again, and the exact same thing happened. They transferred me to the office, no one answered, and I was told to leave another voicemail. I called again yesterday same thing, Thought I would hear something today and nothing, since it was already 2 p.m I decided to call again. I even tried explaining the situation to the receptionist at the front desk, but she said there was nothing she could do since she was only the receptionist. She took my name, phone number, and date of birth and said she would pass the information along. The frustrating part is that my mom called about a week ago, and they told her the exact same thing.
At this point, I feel like I’m going in circles, and nobody is actually helping me get my results. What should I do? Do I go in person now?

My coworker showed me today that she can sneeze on command, but to my knowledge, that shouldn't be possible. My only theory is that she's somehow coughing through her nose, but she says it just feels like a normal sneeze. Is there an explanation for this?

Hi everyone,

I (21F) have been experiencing for the past 2 years violent episodes of vomiting happening approx every month and lasting 5-10 days.

It always start the same way with a difficult night with a lot of sweating then horrendous nausea and some kind of diarrheas then i start vomiting. I am not able to keep down even water and have stomach pain during that whole time.

I did an MRI, a scan and a gastric emptying study and everything came back normal.
I already have quite a few chronic/autoimmune diseases.

I am at my wits end and feel like i will die every time these episodes happen because of how bad it is.
I don’t feel heard by my doctor who just says she can’t do much for me but it’s been 2 years of agony.

I am a full time student and my studies are in peril because of this and no-one seems to realise the impact it has on me and my life.
I cannot continue like this but i don’t know what to do…

Hi, I’m 24F and have been experiencing persistent itching for approximately 7–8 months, with no identifiable cause.
The itching:
Affects my whole body and occurs every single day.
Has progressively worsened over the past several months.
Occurs without an initial visible rash.
Causes burning after scratching, followed by scabs and dark marks/hyperpigmentation.
Has no obvious triggers (food, heat, showers, clothing, etc.)
Hasn’t improved with antihistamines or any topical creams.
Remained the same when I spent several days away from home and on holiday.

Blood test results (September 2026):
Eosinophils: 0.62 × 10⁹/L (elevated; reference range 0.04–0.40)
Total WBC: 8.6 × 10⁹/L (normal)
Haemoglobin: 135 g/L (normal)
Ferritin: 36 µg/L (low-normal)
TSH: 1.6 mIU/L (normal)
HbA1c: 34 mmol/mol (normal)
CRP: <5 mg/L (normal) Liver function: ALT 10, ALP 62, bilirubin 12 (normal) Kidney function: creatinine 68, eGFR >90 (normal)

I have also stopped taking the supplements i was taking for my PCOS for nearly a month without any improvement.
I also have PMDD.
My GP has said the eosinophils is only mildly elevated and not particularly concerning. They haven’t identified a cause for the itching and keep saying they don’t know what to do as I have now tried everything.
The itching is just getting worse and it’s driving me insane.
Does anyone please have any advice or has dealt with this before and found a solution? I’m genuinely going insane so anyone help would be really appreciated x
