why doctors tell us not to scrach when we have rash, or eczema, or it gets itchy, how does that make it worse, thought it makes us feel better?!

On Wednesday I ordered a large pizza to the house around 4PM. Ate 2 slices (out of 12) and wrapped the rest up individual in seran wrap for future eating.
Around 1AM Thursday going to bed I felt VERY achy, like I was getting the flu. Joints, and all veryachy. Awake until well after 6AM with stomach cramps. Then a high fever started around 10 AM, continued on throughout the day and then severe explosive diarrahea started. Highest fever was 102.8. No vomiting, just severe dirrahea.

I hydrated myself with Gatorate. Drinking LOTS of it! No solid foods until today Saturda when I had two pieces of toast (trying the BRAT diet = Banana, Rice, Applesauce Toast).

Diarrahea turned a green color (pure liquid), current it's brown.

Current: No fever. Still diarrhea, takign Kaopectate PRN and Lomotil PRN and Flagyl 500 mg 2 a day.

Ideas IF this sounds like food poisoning? No other medical history. I was home and not around people to get sick.Wher/how can I get piza analysd?

I recently after a night of drinking went home with a guy and had unprotected sex with him. I have never had a one night stand before so I feel very quilty and ashamed. I am on birth control so I am not worried about getting pregnant but I am worried about STD's. I talked with the guy and he assured me that he had been tested within the last year and he was clean and had only protected sex with the other girl(s) he had been with this year. My thing is if he had unprotected sex with me than he has probably done it before. How soon can I get checked for STD's and how worried should I be. Please help... Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I hate to sound lazy, but I hate running because I get all sweaty and my breathing becomes rough and it's just not an attractive feeling.
However, I am a very good swimmer and I love to swim. I don't even view it as exercise. I can swim non-stop across my pool for an hour.
Will I still lose as much weight swimming as I would if I were running?
Thanks.

Occationally, my ankles will get sore from this. It happens in the morning going up or down stairs and by the end of the night sometimes my ankle(s) is/are sore. I want to avoid any type of arthritis (obviously). I'm 26 and active, healthy, and open to any kind of treatment. I think this will continue to get worse as I get older and ware on my joints. What can I do to stop/alleviate this now so it doesn't get worse?

My family and i went to Pennsylvania about 2 or 3 weeks ago, and we all got bug bites, but my mom got affected the worst. Mine and my dad's went away after a few days, but my mom's got worse. They turned into big, swollen, red welts that she says hurts and itches really badly. We've tried cortozone, all those itching medicines, and neosporine (sp?). And now we're not sure if it was really mosquitoes that bit her. Are there any other bugs that can do that? And is it an allergic reaction? What should we do to help her?

about 6 weeks ago i had an absess dome up in my mouth.....i went to my dentist and she put me on antibiotics.....they did help,but didnt get rid of it so she gave me 2 more lots.....she said that if they didnt work then i would have to lose the tooth as it has already had a root filling.

i finished the tablet a couple of weeks ago and although the absess is only small it still hasnt completely gone and every 4 or 5 days i am popping it.....it isnt sore......is there anything else that can be done or am i doomed to lose the tooth?

There is a book that would help many girls answer the questions about themselves. It's called "the V Book" by Elizabeth G Stewar, MD and Paula Spencer. This book should be read by every woman! i have a condition called vulvodynia and this book has helped me in search for relief. Oh yeah you really want to get the doctors guide it has more info rathan than the patients guide. i Hope this book helps some one like it has me.

I'm a 17 year old boy, and I weigh 178 pounds right now.
I've tried that whole "don't-eat-anything" diet, and I didn't lose anything. I didn't gain weight, but I just stayed at the weight I was when I started.
I cannot exercise effectively when I haven't eaten, so I guess I have to eat.
I have to lose 15 pounds in less than 2 weeks. I know it's unhealthy, but I can gain it all back once I get to my goal.
I'm not at all concerned about getting a six pack, being healthy, eating well-- well, at least not in this situation.
I have the rest of my life to get a six pack, but I need to get to 165 pounds as soon as possible. I need to stay below 165 pounds for a week, then I can gain it all back if I want to.
It's a very long story why I have to do this-- so I'll spare you, but I have to do this. It's not a possibility, it's a must.
So, what should I do? Should I just not eat anything and not exercise? I don't want to gain muscle.
Should I eat a little and exercise a lot?
Thanks!

Is there a cure for this? Is there anyone out there with medical knowledge that can give me a serious answer to this important question as I am obviously worried about my child? I'm particularly interested in getting actual solutions rather than "go the doctor" type answers. At the moment, my child has been on iron supplements for four years as he loses a lot of blood thru' the nose.
