Health - 1 March 2007

I've been having symptoms similar to those a person with gallstones for about 4 years now. I did have gallstones and my gallbladder removed. Since then, I've had 2 ultrasounds done. The first was normal. The second one showed that I had a fatty liver. My doc never followed up with me......nobody called me or anything. I had to harrass them just to find out my test results. I have not made a follow-up appointment because we are a military family and the current base which we are at just, well, sucks. I'm hoping to get this looked into this summer when we move.

But the problem is that I have these attacks....these horrible excruciating attacks where my liver is located and they last for about 5-20 minutes.

I haven't quite figured out what triggers them, if anything at all. They seem to happen after taking medication, like my liver can't process it...even simple things, like cold medicine. Does anyone have any experience with anything like this? PS-I'm not overweight, nor do I drink

I have had acne for 7 years now and i've been trying since the start to get rid of it. i have it on my face, neck, chest and back. its pretty bad. I cant get rid of it. I've used about 9 different pills and probably 40 different creams etc..(min. 3 month period 4 each 1) ex: pro-active, oxy pads, zap-it etc.. I have one problem with the pills. I am immune to pills, they just dont work for any situation. I've been to doctors and dermatologists and they are useless. I am giving up and so are they because they wanna put me on this medication where i need to get blood tests every two weeks. I think its something internal. I am now drinking soy milk and cutting back on dairy and sugars. I use products with salyctic acid or whatever its called and that doesn't help. I used a clearasil product and that ended up in my skin pealing like nothing else and it was more embarassing than acne itself. My grad. is comming up in june and i want it to be gone by then... Any suggestions
thx..

How common is it for a woman to loose her sex drive after menopause? We have been happily married for 39 years and until a couple of years ago had a health sex life. Don't tell me to be more romantic or to try foreplay because they don't work. She is just not interested in sex any more. I don't know if this is normal or not. If it is then I will not pursue the matter any further however if there is something that can be done then that would be great. Has anyone got any suggestions? I'm sick of having sex by myself and besides I don't find myself that sexy. I have tried putting on some soft music. Turning down the light and pouring a couple of glasses of champagne however what usually happens is I end up throwing my hand in bed and diving on top.

A small white pill about 1/8th of an inch circumference with a "R" symble and the number 59 below it. The "R" symble starts before the first verticle downward line, so it's like a regular "R" but the line that makes the "p" part extends past the verticle line. I believe the pill is Ativan but I'm going to throw them away if I cannot find out.

Thanks everyone!

My husband had a vasectomy in July. Within a month he started experiencing hives all over his body daily and fatigue and joint pain. Doctor (Dermotologist) tested him to rule out autoimmune disorders such as lupus. Doc said sometimes (very rarely) vasectomy can cause this reaction and we can only wait for his immune system to acclimate and that it can take up to 3 years... anyone else ever experience this??? Doc has him on Singulair, Claritain and Zantac daily and they don't suppress smmptoms any longer, should we seek a second opinion?

Say someone had a friend that supplied them with some refill prescriptions of hydrocodone (5 refills) and that person who took them figured they wouldn't get to the point where they felt they needed those pills...considering they just started trying them out of curiosity and no medical need... but now the refills are nearly out and they are beginning to panic. What can be done about that given that they were never prescribed to the person to begin with?
