I have been a smoker for over 20 years and quitting was almost impossible. I tried the electronic, didn't care for them. Now I am vapping and I love it, Haven't had a smoke in 3 weeks. But....I am vapping about 1/3 of the smoking I was doing, using the 12 mg. which averages 1.2 and just wondering why I don't feel better. I love that I don't cough anymore, don't stink anymore and don't have yellow nails. But I don't feel as good as I thought I would after giving up cigarettes. Isn't vapping safer and better for me? I know it's has nicotine but not the other 3,000 dangerous chemicals. Was it a smart change, shouldn't I be feeling better? Just not sure what to expect.

I have a viper alarm that came on my car when I bought it. In the last week or so, My husband walked by it with his key pad and it unlocked my doors. Now, I was sitting outside and it unlocked when the neighbor got in his truck. I locked it back and even disabled it with the toggle switch and before I made it to the house, it locked it back. Now, one thing I do know is that in the last two weeks, the key fob didn't always lock and unlock like the battery was getting low. WTH is going on?

I have a 2 cm mass on my right kidney, waiting to see if it grows and will have another ct in Jan. Now I have this little knot on my back and my Dr. thinks it may be a sarcoma. Which came first? Are they connected? The urologist says there isn't a connection....IM CONFUSED! We did an ultrasound on the spot on my back and it had no cystic makeup and so far doesn't look like anything. Should I be concerned? where do I go from here? The Chiropractor thought it may be a lipoma, but it causes me discomfort, my Dr. thought it was a sarcoma. Just not sure where to go or what to do. No other symptoms, none!

If any of you have seen my recent posts, you know this started in Oct5 with a kidney lesion that has now been found to be a mass. They say I've had it 3 or 4 years and its only a little over 2 cm. They wont remove it unless it gets bigger and are having me do another CT in Jan. I'm not worried about it, and they say I'm not any less fixable in Jan than I was in Oct. But.......I am feeling it and I don't know if its from cleaning house or if I'm actually feeling the pain from the mass. I don't have any blood in the urine, nothing else except a little pain like muscle strain. Is this normal? Should I call the Dr ? Just don't know because I've never had one, so I don't know the norm. If you have any ideas or suggestions, please share them. Thanks

Just went and saw the urologist about my mass. He said there is a 85% chance this is cancer but hey, a 15% chance it isn't. They wont even consider touching it unless it's 3 cm in size. He has promised me this thing will not metastize and wants me to come back in January to do another ct. He also said, I have probably had this 3 or 4 years that's why its as small as it is now, doesn't grow but a hair of a millimeter a year. If it has changed at all in 3 months, we'll go in a take it out. My friends are like SECOND OPINION!!!! This is one of the top Docs from MD Anderson in Houston. What do you think?

have been posting questions about a kidney lesion. Now they are leaning towards renal carcinoma and the fear has kicked in. I am not having any symptoms which is a good sign but now, what do I do. I am terrified and have never been through anything like this. It is the only thing they found, no symptoms, no other spots, nothing. Is this a good thing? They say its the easiest treatable and the most common but it happens more in men over 50, Im a 42 yr old female. I just need calming but good information. Im scared to death and need to know whats coming, not to be scared but prepared. Can this still be benign, could it still be nothing major? Please help

A week ago, I was eating and started feeling bloated. It carried me through the week but wasn't having any other symptoms, just fullness in belly and burping. Got worse through the week and was down 11 pounds total in 8 days from not wanting to eat. Didn't have bowel trouble or anything else. I have now been to the dr twice, blood work looks great, and Pepcid helped my belly. Thinking ulcer, but now, my result showed a lesion on my kidney and I have a CT scheduled for tomorrow. Nothing else wrong, belly and surrounding looked good on ultrasound, no back pain, urine is good, nothing. Now I'm freaking out because I used to take Tylenol daily and have heard this could be the cause. Any info will be useful, just need to know what to look for and if I should be scared. Thanks in advance

We have a marine land magnum 350, it was unplugged to do a cleaning. After we plugged it back in, the intake is blowing water and the outtake is sucking in. We go buy another one and its doing the same thing. Are we doing something wrong? And no, we didn't reverse the hoses. The first one was unplugged to clean but the hoses have their own coupling, cant put wrong hose on wrong tube. Called petsmart, those idiots have no clue! Could it be the motor, sitting here watching my fish die, plese help asap! Just FYI

our possessed furby?

We got our daughter a furby for Christmas, it was fun for a while, and of course she pestered it and now the thing is possessed. He growls at you and won't shut up and is Dow right furious all the time. How do we do a factory reset? We put our finger in his mouth, held him upside down and pushed the rest button, nothing changed. Help!!!!!! This little sucker is a head spinning short of being he exorcist! Not throwing it away, need useful answers

My month long headache is not really getting worse but in the last couple of nights I wake up and the whole back of my head is numb. I have no vision loss, no other symptoms that have me worried but it won't go away. It's not as bad during the day but seems to get worse at night when I sit down, that's the part that makes me feel like it's muscular. Just won't go away and I'm at wits end. I feel that it has to do with my spine and can almost feel it every time I sit down. I need some pain relief or a resolution. And yes, I go to a chiropractor but cant afford to go as much as I need too. I had migraines for 4 years and got off of the aspartame and with that and acupuncture they went away, but this one came back with a vengeance and wont go away.

I was a migraine sufferer for years, got off of Aspartame and they went away. Here in the last few Weeks I've had one that won't go away. Chiropractor says the knot at the top of my spine is from the c1 being out of alignment and pushing up the muscle. The headache is as soon as I wake up but goes away for the entire day until early evening. Could it be a spinal headache from a epidural 3 years ago? No other neurological symptoms, ct looks good, everything checks out. Headache is around right ear across the back of my neck. Does it sounds muscular to you?

I've had migraines for about 5 years, I pretty much know when they started, what brought them on and when they went away. I started chewing on ice breaker breath mints almost a pack in two days and shortly there after started them. Always on the left side of my head, same area, everything. I noticed every time I got rid of them the headaches eased off. My Dr and I realized I was having aspartame toxicity and I stopped it all together. Went to a chiropractor/acupuncturist and felt great after 5 years of major migraines problem solved. A few months ago I started getting them back and had knot at the base of my hairline at the top of my spine, base of my neck. When a headache comes on, the knot seems larger and this one headache has lasted about a week now. Dr. says my c1 is out of line and its pushing up my GB2, says its common. I wake up with a small headache and am fine all day long, seems to come on literally every evening around 6 pm. Just wondering if this sounds right, why am I only getting them at night? Relpax helps and sometimes fixes it for the night and lets me sleep. If you have this pain, know someone who does are an actual knowledgeable person, then give me some insight, if not, don't bother. thanks

Two days ago I noticed a pea sized cyst on my labia minora. it does not have a blister head on it and is not an open area. Today I noticed my groin is starting to hurthurt in the area of my thigh and pubic area. I don't know If this is something to freak out about but my groin area is just as sore as the cyst. Actually feels like I've been lifting furniture and that part just started today. I'm putting a hot compresses on it to see if that helps. I'm also taking some celphex to see if it gets better but thinking it is over sore from trying to pop it, which didn't work. It does have not fever and the cyst has no head or puss top on it. Any info would help because it hurts so bad and are on vacation tomorrow.
