I've had this small but very irritating medical issue for probably about a year now and I'm about at my wits end. For some reason that I don't understand, my rectum itches like craaaazy. It started about a year ago. I thought it was strange but figured it would go away on its own. It has not. This is quite obviously the worst place to have a chronic itching problem.

I had a theory that maybe the toilet paper I was using was too dry so I began purchasing paper with aloe vera. Didn't work. Than I started applying lotion to help the dryness. Works minimally, but itching always returns, usually after about a day.

What is going on here? I have developed several allergies over the years, have I developed an allergy to toilet paper? Does anyone out there have an answer as to what this might be? Someone please shed some light on this because this is driving me plum nuts.

Also, does anyone know the effects of plasma loss on bodybuilding/ working out? Thanks.

My husband says that NO men wipe after they pee, that they "shake" it off. I think it's messy and lazy. WET boxers are a big turn OFF for me!

Also, I am trying to teach our almost-3 year old son to wipe after he pees, but as you could guess Dad thinks it's not necessary.

So, my questions are:

Do most men wipe, shake, or what? (And I'm not talking about a quick pee in the woods, rather a normal non-rushed pee.)

If a man wipes his penis, does it mean he's gay?

If a man shakes his weeny, does the pee disappear into the air and not splatter all over the wall, the toilet and their underwear?

Are men unknowingly marking their territory with their sloppy, non-wiping ways?

I have been taking roughly 2 to 5 vicodins a day since december 2006. I am dead set determined to quit now. I don't crave them at all, even when I stopped for a couple days, but the ONLY withdrawel I seem to get is the legs cramps. I don't want advice saying to see my doctor because at the moment I have no insurance.And I dont want to hear to turn to methodone or other drugs to ease off. I want off the drugs, not subsitute one for another. I would like to hear any advice at all on beating the leg cramps. Hot baths help but only when I'm in the tub, and leg rubs work well from my fiance but he can only rub so much. Ibuprofin does nothing. They become so bad I will wake at all hours of the night almost in tears, twisting and turning my legs in every direction. I would also like to know honestly about how long the leg cramps will last but I would like to hear from someone who has gone through this themselves and not someone guessing please. Thank you very much

I am curious if anyone has had general anesthesia and tried to fight it and if so did you have something to relax you before you went into the Operating Room?

As with a majority of the health problems I have encountered, I think this may be tied to my weight somehow. I weigh 300 pounds, am 21, and am 6'1" tall.

When I was a little kid I randomly get adrenaline rush for no reason and now I still do . When I get adrenaline rush I can't think of anything but to fight , I feel a sudden change in me like:
1. When I get hit in the face or in most parts of my body I feel little to no pain at all .
2. A sudden increase in physical power
3. I could move faster
4. I become more vigilant

But the weird thing is that I keep on wanting for more adrenaline rush and I can't stop .
What should I do?

I'm trying to tell her that it can damage her eyesight by using them when they're not needed.

However, I can not find ANYTHING supporting my claim.

Am I wrong?
Will reading glasses affect a persons perfect vision in any way?

If you know of something definitive from a quality source could you copy and paste a shortcut, or a snippet from it.

Hi,

All the time I am scared I'll have to pee during a class or drive or something so I go pee like every hour, and before and after class.

I have no problem holding it at home when the restroom is always available.

How do I get over this fear? Do young adults really wet their pants on accident and how long does it take to get to that point? I don't want to be doing the pee pee dance during class, but going pee every hour is inconvienient. Sometimes I try hard and wait two hours, but I am so nervous about it I can't help feeling like I need to pee now.

I can't wear diapers so I can't find out how long I can go in a classroom. At home I am not doing anything so I just can't say I can hold it the same amount of time.

THanks
