After waking up today I noticed that my liver hurts. The pain is in the right side of the abdomen ( right flank), right under the rib. It is a light pain and it feels on a bigger surface (like I got punched in the liver or something) ..it's not a sharp , knife like pain. It tends to feel when I walk or when I press that area.
Blood tests taken this month show the next results : AST 39 U/L (10-37) , ALT 130 U/L (10-41) , Alkaline phospathase 70 U/L (40-129), LDH 200 U/L (135-225), GLU 80 mg/dl (70-115), Ureea 32 mg/dl (10-50), TP 8,38 g/dl (6,6 - 8,7) , Albumins 62,5 % (52-68), Chol 209 mg/dl (120-200), blood clothing 239 mg/dl (180-350 ). I DON"T have any jaundice and my appetite is normal. I've been a bit tired the last 2-3 days but it's true nontheless that I got very little sleep. I also checked my temperature today and it was 36,7 degrees. My stools are daily and normal. On monday i'll go for a liver screening.
Am I sick ? Is it possible to have a liver problem ?

My parents chose to not circumcise me when I was born, and I'm now considering getting circumcised as an adult. I've heard good and bad things on both sides (circumcised you supposedly lose alot of the pleasure, uncircumcised looks smaller and has more risk to disease), has anyone here ever got circumcised as an adult or known someone who has?

I'm taking this seriously, I would greatly appreciate it if everyone else did.

I found this powder in a plastic bag in a box of pornos. Could it be lubrication. Is there a way to tell if it is cocaine?

I have struggled with weight all my life. I am 5'4, and 105 lbs. I am 21 years old now, and I still have the body I did when I was 12. It's very frustrating. I want the lovely curves you see on women of my age! I feel very scrawny. Anyone have ideas of how I can gain some weight? (And don't say just eat, because that's not the problem).

It doesn't really hurt but it is certainly noticeable. I've read that yawning and swallowing should help, but it hasnt. Anybody know what I can do, short of going to the doctor? I don't have insurance.....

This began when I was about 10 years old (I'm 32 now), but more recently I seem to be growing sensitive to an increasing number of things. Whenever I talk to people about the reaction I get, they look at me like I've got some abnormal condition--they've never heard of it before.

Essentially, certain fresh fruits, vegetables, & nuts will make my entire mouth (gums, throat, sometimes lips if I've they're chapped or cracked [faster access of the food to the bloodstream], or inside of my cheeks)itchy & sometimes I detect some swelling. So far I've noticed a reaction to: apples, pears, peaches, plums, carrots (not always), tomatoes (not always), avocado (not always), soymilk (but NOT with roasted soybeans), seaweed, strawberries(not always), almonds, walnuts, pecans, & possible some other nuts I've forgotten.

Only seems to occur with raw/unprocessed items: I can eat frozen, cooked, dried, or canned fruit & veggies, & roasted nuts.

What's in the uncooked foods causing this?

I've got this problem where everyone thinks I'm thinner than I actually am because I wear loose clothes and suck in my gut all the time, but I'd like to flat out just lose the gut and get fit before I go back to college in the fall. I would appreciate any tips a lot. Thanks for your time! :)

I've finally started to try and get to a healthy weight. I'm avoiding using the word diet, because it's more of a long-term change. Anyway, so I'm 160 now, and eventually I want to get to 125 or something. I've done well, but my problem is that I eat, and then I get hungry like an hour later! I tried to eat high protein and fiber things, because research showed that they make you fuller longer, but it's not working that great.
Anyone find ways to stay fuller longer to stay on track/avoid eating things I shouldn't? Or is the only trick high will-power?
Any input is appreciated :)

The fever has gone but the blisters are still there. I can't talk, eat, or drink. What is the best treatment for this?
