Hi all … I’m a 32 year old male 5’1 and only 90lbs! I have a history of throat cancer (age 7 – its gone now) … but the side effects of the treatments seemed to have turned my life upside down … I have an underactive thyroid, stopped growing early, i have major digestive problems (trouble swallowing, aspirating (liquid drips in my lungs slowly), lack saliva, need a drink with every bite, acid reflux, ripped a hole in esopagus in early 20s, had 3 ulcer in past (age 8,18 n 23 about)), I even have phobias about eating (dont liek peopel watching me choke down my food), lost all my teeth by age 24, lost 2/3 of my hearing, … plus in the last 2 years to my anxiety and panic attacks seem to happen almost daily …

Between all my eating problems and my anxiety issues … I trip out daily feeling light headed, cold all the time, sore, dizzy, numb, constantly tired, chest pains … I spend lots of time during my panic attacks trying to do relaxation breathing, warming myself with blankets and heating pad, reading comic books to stop me from thinking, doing slow stretches and exercises … all in the attempt to calm my brain from thinking that I might be having a heart attack or a stroke (but I am not in the high risk categories I am told — although I do smoke cigarettes – yah I got to quit) …

Please let me know if anyone knows of a good doctor that will listen to symptoms and past history of chronic hives.

I got them in 1994 and they were in such a vicious cycle that they would not stop until I had a series of steroid injections and pills for one month. They would calm down and then slowly start up again in the legs and eventually spread everywhere. They are mostly in the legs and buttocks.

It seemed like I would get them when I had sinus infections paired up with stepping foot on a cold surface. Yes, cold floors set off the hives. Even pressure and touch when they were in overtime.

What are vitamins?
Vitamins are substances that your body needs to work properly and keep you in good health. Most vitamins cannot be made by the body, so they have to be provided by your diet in small regular amounts.1
Why do I need vitamins?
Your body uses vitamins to do a number of things, including building and maintaining tissues and organs. Vitamins provide energy, boost the immune system, keep skin healthy and help keep the brain and nervous system in good working order.2

DRUGS are chemicals that can prevent, prolong the life, treat other effects of a health condition, improve the quality of life, and/or cure ailments and diseases, or alter the function of any part or chemicals inside the body. These drugs have approved therapeutic claims.
Drug Side Effects
A side effect is usually regarded as an undesirable secondary effect which occurs in addition to the desired therapeutic effect of a drug or medication. Side effects may vary for each individual depending on the person’s disease state, age, weight, gender, ethnicity and general health.
Side effects can occur when commencing, decreasing/increasing dosages, or ending a drug or medication regimen. Side effects may also lead to non-compliance with prescribed treatment.Medication
A medication or medicine is a drug taken to cure and/or ameliorate any symptoms of an illness or medical condition, or may be used as preventive medicine that has future benefits but does not treat any existing or pre-existing diseases or symptoms.
(Redirected from Adverse effect (medicine))
In medicine, an adverse effect is a harmful and undesired effect resulting from a medication or other intervention such as surgery. An adverse effect may be termed a “side effect”, when judged to be secondary to a main or therapeutic effect, and may result from an unsuitable or incorrect dosage or procedure, which could be due to medical error. Adverse effects are sometimes referred to as “iatrogenic” because they are generated by a physician/treatment. Some adverse effects only occur only when starting, increasing or discontinuing a treatment. Using a drug or other medical intervention which is contraindicated may increase the risk of adverse effects. Adverse effects may cause medical complications of a disease or procedure and negatively affect its prognosis. They may also lead to non-compliance with a treatment regimen.
The harmful outcome is usually indicated by some result such as morbidity, mortality, alteration in body weight, levels of enzymes, loss of function, or as a pathological change detected at the microscopic, macroscopic or physiological level. It may also be indicated by symptoms reported by a patient. Adverse effects may cause a reversible or irreversible change, including an increase or decrease in the susceptibility of the individual to other chemicals, foods, or procedures, such as drug interactions.

Chemotherapy
The overall impact of chemotherapy on cancer survival can be difficult to estimate, since improved cancer screening, prevention (e.g. anti-smoking campaigns), and detection all influence statistics on cancer incidence and mortality. In the United States, overall cancer incidence rates were stable from 1995 through 1999, while cancer death rates decreased steadily from 1993 through 1999.[1] Again, this likely reflects the combined impact of improved screening, prevention, and treatment. Nonetheless, cancer remains a major cause of illness and death, and conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy has proven unable to cure most cancers after they have metastasized.

As is obvious from their origins, the above cancer chemotherapies are essentially poisons.
