I have seen a lot of posts here and have been meaning to make a post about this for sometime.
I am not trying to take anything away from eBrandon, and the traffic to it, but I have seen lots of posts where people post their medical conditions on eBrandon, looking for a diagnosis. IMHO, you should use EXTREME caution when doing this, or better yet, not post questions like these at all. To the people replying, keep the same thing in mind, think twice about what you are suggesting, and if you should even be making a suggestion at all.
There are all kinds of people with home rememdies, old wives tales, etc. and your specific condition could be more serious than what you perceive it to be. Worse case scenerio, you could end up making yourself, and your condition, worse by taking the advise here that some people post. None of us here are qualified to diagnose medical conditions. I have personally seen the simpliest symptoms actually turn out to be the most serious diseases in my own personal life.
The only person you should be talking to is your doctor. If that opinion is not good enough, try another doctor.
Just my 2 cents.
