I came down with bronchitis and a really high fever over 104 degrees, which left me feeling like my brains had been fried and gave me hallucinations. My husband got the fever down with cool towels and ibuprofen.

The next day the doctor gave me clarithromycin (Biaxin) to get things under control. Two doses in and I suddenly had the urge to vomit and go to the bathroom with violent cramping. About a minute later I lost my vision and most of my hearing with limb numbness. I was rushed to the ER. Apparently my blood pressure (BP) was extremely low and the medicine causes abnormal heart rhythms.

Thankfully my vision returned and most things seem to have restored themselves. But 2 weeks later I am still hearing a high pitched ring in my ears, and my short term memory is horrible - also I keep "spacing out", though my fever is gone. I have bad headaches still.

Could this incident have done permanent damage to my heart or brain?

I have been taking laxatives for the last 8 years and I can stop!!! It is impossible to go any other way... I have tried all advice such as excercise, more fibre, more water, etc. but nothing seems to work, I have always been thin and ate a healthy diet, but 8 years ago my doctor gave me anti-depressants and thats what started it, ( I only took them for 1 months)

Even if i have just a few drinks I feel completely braindead and out of it the next day. Its not a hangover either. I know what that is. I don't feel like I want to throw up...I just feel like half of my brain is missing and like I can't do much that day. Is there something wrong with my health that I might not know about that is making me feel this way after I drink?

My friend's friend said she lost 45 pounds in a month just eating brown rice and tuna twice a day with water. Does just eating this really cause a rapid weight loss? I don't know whether to believe this is true or not. Does this sound probable?

My daughter was recently in a fire and has several small skin grafts in various areas on her body... Her father, who has temporary custody of her, has been using colloidal silver on these grafts to keep them from becoming infected... without asking her doctor first... I called the doctor and was told that this is definitely a bad idea... I want to know exactly how bad this could become so that I know if she'll need to be seen again by the doctor...
