I believe that I'm having an outbreak, but I'm not sure. I was diagnosed last April and my PCP told me I didn't need a daily does of Valtrex, to only use it when during an outbreak. I recently lost my health ins. through my father, and he doesn't know about the meds or my condition. The meds are very expensive, so would it be alright if I just stuck it out and hoped the outbreak went away on its own? Or should I bite the bullet and buy the pills?

My Mom has a malignant spot on her lung.She hasn't smoked for nearly 15yrs./no one else smokes around her.She's had x-rays since for colds in the past.They found it after she had pneaumonia a month ago. Her oncologist put her on a med.(oral)that is for breast cancer/side affects include lung damage.I had to force her to get a 2nd. opinion.Should't her dr. have told her to get a 2nd. opinion?He obviously doesn't have the market cornered on curing cancer.Aren't 2 heads better than 1 when it comes to fighting for your life? If they hadn't seen it in the past & only it found now,was it there all along,just undetectable(too small)?If so,that means it's grown,right?This spot couldn't just pop up at the size it is(1/2 dollar)now,can it?If it's grown,why would he put her on a pill.what would this pill do for her & why would he tell her to come back in 2mons.?Won't it grow more in that time?My parents are in their 70's.They still believe dr.s are like they were in the old days.

My 4 year old son is only here every other weekend and since the beggining of the year he seems to be sick runny nose or cough every time. This past weekend he was fine all day long ,out running ,playing ,jumping on the trampoline. But in the evening usually arround dinner time when they start to relax and unwind for bed he starts cough violently. I tried cough expectorant's and 3 hours later he stil can't sleep because the coughing wont stop. I even tried benadryl thinking he may have an allergy, thta just seemed to help him sleep a bit better but he still coughed. He has been to the doctor 3 times this year for colds that didn't go away and they haven't seemed to be able to help him. Should I be looking at this from another view...maybe an allergy or even asthma? He has only ever had one bad cold that turned into bronchitis when he was 2. It seems to have happened all at once Since the end of the winter. I'm divorced and getting my ex to accept someting is wrong is difficult!

I have tried all sorts of sun blocks, creams, etc, none helps much. have been told it is something to do with pores not closing quickly enough after sweating, and antihistmine tablets help. Do they ? and do you need a G Ps prescription ?

My 6 year old daughter gets sick off and on. When I think she's fine, the school calls me again to come pick her up. She complains about a stomach ache a lot. The school said today that her temp was 99.9. It's been about 3 weeks off and on now. I've already brought her in once and they said it was nothing and I made her another appointment for wed. Any information would be great. Thanks

I wanna know if anyone has any ideas on how to heal it faster? I have been told vinager and a paper bag, does this work? I have another question too. while I was waiting in my room for the Dr. the lady over safety at my job (she meet me and my supervisor at the hospital) told me that if the doctor want to give me perscription motron or tynanol not to except it just take over the counter versions and take more, while i know that 4 reg motron are the same as 800mg of rx motron, i just woundered if this is legal for her to do? She also STRONGLY reccomended that I not take the restrictions and just let the company work around them with the assurance that they would. I know she did this because it (the drugs and the restrictions) made it a recordable accident, but i still don't feel that it was right. She also told me that i don't need a follow up with my regular doctor and refused to make an appointment with the company doctor.

I am trying to lose weight, so, besides haveing a healthy diet,when I go to the gym I do between 45 min to an hour on the elliptical. Although it is really helping me lose weight, my thigh muscles have gotten really big. (with muscles...obviously not fat b/c they are rock solid)

What can I do to not only continue in my weight loss, but, make it so that my thigh muscles are more slender/toned, instead of muscley?

I am a bipolar patient and I am using lithium as a protective medication.What I wonder is,is any of you have been on lithium for manic depression?If so,have you ever had a manic episode while you were under lithium medication?
My doc told me that it is not a hundred percent protective,that I might have manic or depressive episodes in the future even though I use lithium regularly.I'm scared by that!So I would be glad if you shared your personal experiences with me.
