My husband just had a physical for an insurance policy, and his blood test for the prostate came back with high PSA numbers.

What does the high PSA mean, and could his habit be the reason for the problem?

I am 30 years old and every month when I get my period, I always get a cold. This has happened every month this year. I am healthy and eat a good diet, but I am wondering if at this low point each month, my body is not producing enough of something to help my immune system.

My daughter has a skin rash on the back of her left leg, on the right side of her torso, and a small patch in front of her right leg. The rash is slightly raised, with very small pimples, and itchy. She sat in some hay about 2 weeks ago, and I have tried everything to get rid of it. What could be causing the rash, and what should I do?

I have FMS (Fibromyalgia). My left forearm, near the medial cubital vein, has been swollen for about 6 months. It was intermittent for a year before becoming permanent. It is always tender and bothersome. I can't afford to go to the doctor unless absolutely necessary. What information can you provide?
