Health - 3 December 2006

I'm 175 cm tall, and 53kg. I've always been thin, though I still don;t think I'm thin, like I still want to lose weight, anyhoo, recently I developed an eating disorder and lost a lot weight and here I am.

I can see all my ribs.

Is this healthy?

This is some what embarasing and can't really afford a doctor, so here goes:

I am not sick, that I know of, and have not been for quite sometime however a couple times a day for a couple weeks now a very small green mass, that has the look of solid mucus, protrodes to my mouth. I dont cough it up I just force it up when I feel something in my throat. It is very foul smelling, and can't figure what the cause of this would be. I've been looking on-line for answers but can't seem to find one. So I thought I would post my question here. Thanks for any response.

If one has a substantial amount of critical traits from three different mental illnesses; but, never exhibits all crucial traits in one particular category, how can one classify them?

Particular Example:

1) Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

- Obsessive Compulsive handwashing
- Abnormal anxiety issues
- Avoids human contact
- Things must be just "right"
- Emotional detachment

2) Psychosis

- Auditory hallucinations
- Delusional beliefs
- Thought disorder

3) Anti-social Personality Disorder

- Lack of remorse or shame
- Fantastic and uninviting behaviour
- Pathological lying

* May exhibit a factitious disorder.

In this scenario, the patient exhibits an anxiety disorder; however, any of the other cannot be categorized in this group.

How can one categorize such a case?

For the last couple of weeks, my sense of smell has been off. Everything smells weird and as if it was burning. I find it really hard to breathe. The docotor's in france just want to give you medicine but I am just curious if anyone has ever had similar symptoms and what was the cause.

I recently had my first yeast infection and i used a three day cream. After the treatment, the itching and white creamy discharge stopped but 4 days later I'm still having a yellowish discharge which looks like the treatment I used. I dont have any more discomforts, just the yellowish discharge which smells abit like the cream. Is this normal?

Ok you know how when we were all younger and our parents would have us get it just so we didnt have it later in life. Well Ive heard rumors that its now bad to get your child infected with the disease. Is that true? And is it also true that you cant get it later in life and why or why not? I was just curious.

He first went to a chiropracter and recieved a treament for his back pain, this nade it worse. Actually to the point where he could not walk at all.

Then for about a year he would pursue various doctors who wouldnt tell him much about what exactly was wrong with his back and gave him the run around.

just one month ago he was sick and came down with meningitis. Since he was also bed ridden for about ayear also made him at risk for a stroke and the meningitis gave him multiple stroke to the point of brain dead, and just a couple of days ago our family and doctors all agreed to take him off life support.

Can we still go after the chiropractor for his back injury? or is that to late? Because if he wasnt bedridden its possible none of this wouldve ever happened.

My new husband is retired military. We recently had to go though all his medical files. I saw the word "epididymitis" many times through the 20 years he was in, and I asked him what it was. He said it is strain of the testicles that follows sex, and he was always told to put ice on the pain. He had done this several times in our marriage, but I didn't think much of it until I saw this repeated diagnosis. I looked it up to see if there were any better treatments for it than an ice pack, and it said that in young boys it was usually caused by poor hygiene, but with men between about 18 and 40, it was most probably picked up from a partner, and could carry gonorrea and chlamydia with the infection. When I looked deeper into his file, I saw he was treated with antibiotics every time, and told to use ice and wear loose underwear. I am scared. He still has this occasional use of ice afterwards, which tells me he is still dealing with it, and possibly has put me at risk. Am I at risk?
