Mother won't eat

Help please! My mother has Parkinson's and she is now complaining that her mouth is hurting her terribly. She won't really eat, and is losing weight - she is already bony to begin with.

I see no sores, no visible areas in her mouth, and I have taken her to the doctor and the dentist. I am going crazy, any input appreciated!

Bronchitis?

Hi, I had a tight chest and worsening cough, went to my doctor who said it was bronchitis. He gave me some medication for it, and it seems to be clearing up. However, I notice I am getting a really sharp pain in my ribs when I cough now. Do you think it could be the bronchitis? Has anyone else had this?

Chronic bladder infections

I am getting so frustrated. I keep having chronic bladder infections, and I'm not sure what is causing them. My doctor hasn't really been much help - just keeps prescribing me antibiotics, which help but a few weeks or months later, another one arrives. Any ideas on lifestyle changes that would help lessen this condition, or anything else I can do? I am also going to change doctors, I'm not really happy with my physician anyways (long story).

Psoriasis Light Treatment?

Anyone had any luck with light treatments to control psoriasis plaques? I haven't talked to my dr. yet about this, I think it is probably expensive and time consuming. However, I am sick of having psoriasis so I would be willing to try it.

Herpes medication

Hi there: I was diagnosed with genital herpes about 14 months ago. My doctor prescribed Valtrex. I've only ever had one outbreak - the initial one. My prescription ran out 2 months ago and I haven't bothered to get it refilled. I haven't had an outbreak yet. I am thinking I am not going to bother to refill it, because I'm tired of pumping my body full of prescription drugs. I don't want to have another outbreak though. I am trying to eat well, get enough sleep and manage my stress. has anyone else out there gone off the drugs? was it successful?

Going off antidepressants?

Hi, I have been taking Paxil for four years. I began taking it when I lost my job and got divorced, I felt like I was losing my mind. Now, I am much more positive and feel a lot better. Do I need to consult my doctor before I go off my antidepressants? I don't have much money, and I'd like to avoid having to take time off work if I don't have to. Could I just wean myself off of it? What do you guys think?

Majorly Depressed

I am majorly depressed. I know this. I am having all the symptoms - crying for no reason, trouble sleeping, sometimes sleeping too much... loss of appetite, starting to lose my will to live. I have been depressed before, but never this bad. I really need to see a psychologist, but I had no idea how i find a good one. i need someone who will be willing to be sensitivity to my fears of therapy. I don't want to go to my doctor because i don't want antidepressants pushed upon me. but i don't know where to turn or how to find someone to help me. i really need to talk to someone soon.

Is there anyone out there like me

I have primary biliary cirrohsis which you'd think by now i could spell correctly. I have had this at least 8 years and suffer from many of the symptions. I had to have my gallbladder removed a year ago because of developing gallstones which clogged a duct and i almost went into liver failure. I an lucky that my doctor is at Loma Linda University Medical Center Liver Transplant dept. I find that i have no one who truly understands how hard it is to live with the side effects and damage being caused to my body and hope someone out there can/will share.
