You think something is wrong with you so you do the responsible thing and go to the doctor, he examines you, and says you have an infection, or something, he gives you a prescription, you faithfully take it then you start feeling really sick, you get aches, pains, fever, and then break out into a rash. You go back and he's genuinely surprised. So he gives you another prescription. Do they do this on purpose?

Is it Wal-mart's Equate brand? Or would you say that some other brand is the worst? What about Target's bulls eye brand? Or does the dollar store sell a dollar douche?

I've had this lump on my left side of my neck for ever since I was 15, 16?
Gradually over time it has gotten bigger.
Maybe a month or so I finally asked the dr. about it and as usual I got the well its been there for 5 years and nothing has happened answer.

NOW, I have lumps on my hand, legs, feet and even my stomach. They are under the skin and are hard, yet hurt lwhen you touch them. One has even GROSS I know, opened up. (on my hand)
I'm tired a ton and get migraines constantly.
I've scheduled anopther appointment, with the intent of saying nothing has happpened in 5 years, well wtf is happening now???

HAs anyone experienced this and if so what was it, did the dr's give you a run around as well?
I'm starting get really worried about it all.

For the past 1 1/2 year I have been experiencing full time pain in both legs with the following symptoms: numbness, pinching, swollen, burning, cold, hard feet in the morning, tingling to name a few. I was sure it was veins/circulation related but had all the tests done and they could not find anything wrong. Now my doctors have no idea where all this comes from and for the past 2 weeks I have two red bumps growing on my legs (bottom front). I thought for sure they were blood clot, but again they have no idea what they are. I am very scared and don’t know where to turn anymore! Please help!

Almost 2 yrs ago I found out hat I had HPV and what that meant for me(high-risk for cervical cancer) well after I went and got things checked out, my doctor told me everything was fine, but get checked in a year! Well 3mo later I found out I was pregnant with my daughter and my doctor kept a very close eye on me everything turned out fine I gad a healthy baby girl. So 3 weeks ago I go in for my normal yearly and find out that I don't have HPV but I may have some cancerous cells developing, I just found out less than 5min ago but I'm afraid of dying and I don't know how to tell him what's up! He'll be home in about an hour. How do I prepare myself and my family for the worst! I'm not sure I'm strong enough to stand up and face what may happen to me! Anyone know of or been iin a situation like this?

Hi Im a 17 year old female and have posted on here about suspected conditions before, I am always worried that I have a life threatening disease! Its seriously getting me down. I get the slightest symptom or I have an idea that I may have a certain disease and I look the symptoms up on the internet and within a few days I will have all the symptoms I have looked up or "think I do". At this moment in time I am having constant pelvic and lower back pain with some strange burping and frequent urination. All these are symptoms of ovarian cancer and of course I am convinced I have it, I went to the docs today and he felt my abdomen and back and told me to urinate into a sample tube to be sent for testing. He said that my abdomen and pelvis feel absolutley fine but I cannot get the idea of the cancer out of my mind. I have regular periods etc but I cannot help but look up symptoms even though I know in my mind that all the things I am experiencing could easily be something less and much more common eg a bladder or kidney infection. Last month it was a skin disease, the month before it was a neurological disorder, last year I remember going to see my GP about suspected breast cancer because I thought I had lumps and inverted nipples etc...then it was a brain tumor! Its getting beyond stupid now but I cant help but think I am right and I will die young of a dreadful disease.

Symptoms: hot flashes, irritability, fatigue, feeling crampy & extremely emotional, some days a lack of appetite others can’t get enough 2 eat. I have been taking lo/ovral 28 BC pills w/a month’s break this last summer. I also miss a pill occasionally & don’t take them @ the same time on the wkends as the wkdays. I do get my per. when I am supposed 2 because of the pill. I have also been stressed & very busy, between my job & my internship I only get Sundays off & work doubles on Thursdays. I probably don’t get enough sleep, often wake up 2 early & can’t fall back 2 sleep. I work out 3 times a wk doing calisthenics & using dumb bells. I also try 2 eat healthy, take vitamins daily, drink lots of H2O & stay away from caffeine. I have a boyfriend of 11 mths & have never had kids. My mother & gr-mother both went in2 menopause in their mid 40’s. I very much want 2 have children. I am hoping 2 able 2 go the Dr. next wk but until then do U know of other possibilities to help me feel better?

Been lifting weights for a long time. Im 37 and bench press and tricep excercises are killing the tips of my elbows. Im thinking its bursitis. Both elbows started hurting about the same time right on the very tips. Im not doing anything different than I have for years. Its really starting to bother me alot. I dont want to stop working out but I need my elbows to last a long. Any suggestions?
