It causes a rash that looks like little skin tics. The doctor said it would clear up by itself in about 18 months but I need to look up more info.

I can't breathe, exhale or inhale through my nose. I try to blow my nose and barely nothing comes out. I rub vicks on my nose, throat and chest but it doesn't seem to help since I can't even inhale a little bit to make it feel better. I use Nasicort 2 sprays in each nostril once a day and it doesn't help at all only for about half hour. After that nothing seems to let up.

I have this really huge thing at school on Friday where I'm reciting mostly everything. This stuffy nose causes me to hear less (people say I sound louder than I actually do but to me I think I sound fine). It also sucks to breathe through your mouth, my tongue gets dry when i sleep and hurts when I wake up.

I also have a vicks humidifier. And it doesn't seem to help either since I'm not breathing it in directly.

I've also been mucus conjested for 2.5 years and no doctor has seemed to help.

Anybody recommend any OTC drugs or even behind the pharmacy where no prescription is required?

Thanks in advance.

I've seen in mens health some questions lately about circumcision and whether to do it or not to do it. I'm just curious how many of you out there are circumcised and how many are not and how old you are and where you're from. I'm from canada and 33 and my whole family are uncircumcised as well as many of my friends. Just curious.

A friend of mine, who always exagerates everything, said she had been to the doctor and she had 107 temp. I asked her what they did for it, and she said they gave her something to bring down the temp and some antibiotics. I don't believe her.

I volunteer with a guy who's in his late 30's and has HIV. He constantly scratches himself in front of me. He does it for five minutes five or six times in a 90 minute period. He's physically scratching himself,not adjusting himself. Why does he do it? Is it some tic or something? Is he aware of it? Can I ask him to stop? Am I wrong to be annoyed and feel disrespected by it? It makes my boyfriend uncomfortable when the guy does it.

I'm 25yrs old and I just got glasses for the first time. I just got them today and I'm having a bit of trouble adjusting to them. I just read while using them and I found after about a half hour that I kind of liked reading without them better, even though when I wear them the print is darker and sharper. I kind of have a bit of a headache right now actually.
When I did the eye exam, I had more of a problem seeing the bottom few lines of the chart on the wall, so maybe I need them more for distances.
I guess I'm just looking for some guidance as to how I'm supposed to feel with these new glasses.

I went to the dentist with nothing wrong and nothing hurting, just wanted my teeth cleaned. After x-rays they said I had six cavities....I had all teeth that were problematic fixed and filled. Three weeks later, four of the teeth the dentist worked on hurt like hell. Two of the teeth on the end hurt when I bite into something and two other teeth hurt when I drink something cold. I have since gone back to the dentist three times. Everytime he tells me the pain should go away, and he adjusts my bite. My question is threefold. Should I go to another dentist? Secondly, should i give my teeth more time to fully recover? What should I do? Can anyone tell me what is going on?

Is it ok to have sex with someone who is HIV + if you are the same or is it still considered risky since not all infections have the exact same DNA?

he refuses to do anything he is told..and i mean ANYTHING. he gives the teachers at school nothing but problems by refusing to do his work and back talks. he has always been a little hard-headed but it has been unreal since they tried him on adderall. i took him off the meds but he still has the problems. he has also been having fits of rage where he will scream at the top of his lungs and claw at his eyes, throw things, swing and kick people. and all it takes to set him off is asking him to do simple tasks such as eat his dinner or get ready for school. i have tried time out (yea...did'nt work), i've tried taking things away..did not work either. i have tried all i know to do.. any advice?

I'm getting one on Wednesday and I really don't want all that money to go to waste because I was moving. I've had an MRI done before and they couldnt tell if I had bleeding or not because I moved so much.

I had a chemical pregnancy (miscarriage very early in pregnancy) last month (April 19th) and only bleed for 3 days. I started taking Yaz on April 22 my doctor said that it should be effective after 14 days around May 9th or 10th I started dark brown spotting (old blood) and it just stopped today I am supposed to start taking the white sugar pills tomorrow. I have gained about 2-4 pounds (which is odd because Yaz is a slight diuretic) and my breasts have gotten larger. I have also noticed that the veins on my breasts are more visible and my cervix is slightly soft. I know this is something that happens in in pregnancy but can it also be because of the birth control pills?

After seeing a counselor/psychologist for almost a year, I don't know if I'm in a better place than I started, or worse off. My psychiatrist and I determined that my body grows tolerant of medications very quickly (all medications) and therefore I've been going from one anti-depressant to the next trying to find one that will work and keep working. Right now I'm not on any because I feel like it isn't worth it and I want to do this on my own.

But more than that, I have disordered eating patterns and almost zero self esteem. And I feel as though my therapist didn't really help. At all. I feel as though he could have kept talking and talking and it wasn't ever going to anywhere. It seems like this is something I have to do on my own, as impossible as it feels.

Has any else had similar experiences, where their therapist has made it worse, or not helped at all with an eating disorder and/or self-esteem issue?
