I had emergency surgery awhile back and they came three different times to take my blood , so that they could have blood on backup just incase I lost too much during the surgery. They were unable to have any on backup because they said that I had a rare antibody in my blood.

I went about a week ago to get my hospital records and all it says is that the antibody is ANTI-M. What does that mean?

I am a teenager and of course I want to feel pretty and I want guys to notice me. I have lots of friends but I have never had a boyfriend because I have tons of hideous black acne scars on my face. I hate them and they hold me back because I feel insecure all the time, even around my close guy friends. Guys have come up to me and said, "I would definetly go out with you if you didnt have the stuff on your face." It's embarrasing and I've tried EVERYTHING! That includes Proactiv, prescriptions, pills, etc. Can someone please help me deal with my problem and suggest any homemade acne scar remedies you've used?

My mom, in her 60's has been having trouble with her short term memory for about five years or so and finally went to see a doctor to rule out dementia. He says she has no physical issues and no dementia, but he put her on an anti-depressant and then recently prescribed to her a drug usually given to kids with ADHD. Has anyone ever heard of this practice and why would the doctor do this?

I am very introverted probably because I was divorced after my husband cheated 20 yrs ago
I decided to go on weight watchers and so far have dropped 20 lbs and have about 40 to go.
I get out of the house and exersize when the weather is warm and walk.
I work in healthcare and make more money than most men I know.
I have a hard time finding things to talk about because I am such a home body and raised 2 kids alone and now they are doing ok.
I dont really drink and I am not a party goer.
Where do I start working to improve myself?

Ive been taking Dexatrim Max 2 O every morning for about three weeks. Today, after I had a drug test, I looked up info on dexatrim relating to drug tests and I found that the ingredient phenylpropanolamine which is in Dexatrim can create false positives for methanphetamines. Has anyone had experience with this either way or is anyone knowledgable on this subject? I actually did not see this ingredient on the side of the box however and I thought at first maybe since its a new version they left that out, but I looked up older kinds of dexatrim and didnt see that listed either. Please help!

I am 21 years old, average weight and average height.

Last year and the years prior to that, I had been having a Blood Pressure of approximately 110/80. In the months following until now, I had been under considerable stress and started to notice that it had dropped to a low of 95/55. It's been that way ever since. I don't understand the cause for it, and though I feel quite fine - no dizzy spells, no fainting, no lethargia except on nights when I don't sleep much - I don't know if this is something I should worry about.
I am young but I am not as active as I used to be when my BP was within the normal range.
So, should I be worried? What sorts of signs and symptoms should I keep an eye out for? What could be the possible causes?

anyway.. like it is a desiese i guess but .. its really not.. if u think about it...it kinda makes u feel good that u lose weight.. like seriously arent anorexic ppl happy that they r ... anorexic? i mean.. isnt it .. like having pride.. its actually .. in my opinion a cool thing, like and you have to decide to be anorexic, it cant be inherinted!! i mean back in the day, being fat was like awsome, i dont think that anyone wanted to be skinny, like anorexia isnt the acutal desise i think that it causes other problems, and i seriosuly think its stupid and pointless, and seriously like i can kinda relate and why would u want to put ur self through all that? and u would make ur family pay for medical bills, if u were anorexic, which is a total waist of $ its like a pointless problem, like i see as cancer being a problem, aids, heart attacks, theres a point for that, i seriously think that its there choice to be that way, and that they want attention because ppl will see u not eatting.

hello
a doctor diagnosed that i have a bilaterally varicocele, and from what i hear it can affect a man's fertility.

i know that 40% of infertile people have varicoceles, but i was wondering what % of varicocele infected males are infertile

as well, i ej*****ed a week ago, and i find that i am taking ages to recover from the aftereffects of it. for instance, im feeling low in energy and tired this whole week, when before i noticed my varicocele, i will be up and at it after a few days.

what do you think of my varicocele situation? am i infertile? should i use medication to make my testicles and sexual performance return to normal?

i also do lots of sports that require explosiveness. will the varicocele affect my semen production?

how do people "return to normal" quick after an ej******?

i heard that normally varicocele is apeared in left side but my left testical seem normal but in right side i feel vain like small marbel ,are varicocele in right side is more dangerous?

I’m 39 Caucasian. In my last 10 years I noticed my frontal forehead bones evolved to be bigger.
I have now much more prominent brow ridges. It is noticeable. This gives me a chimp profile which I didn’t have 10 years ago. Could be this a disease? What kind of doctor should I look for?
