A Friend of mine has been having chronic back problems for nearly 12 years now, about 3 years ago he tested positive for cocaine when he was at a scheduled check up so they cut off his prescriptions. Since that day he has not used any illicit narcotics, and has been forced to buy the prescription drugs he used to get for dirt cheap from other people who sell their pills.

I feel real bad for the guy because in his most recent trip(This morning) his doctor brought up the incident 3 years ago and once again denied his prescriptions.

I'd like to know if there are ANY reputable online pharmacies that can sell him his old medication, or perhaps some remedies in how he can go about this problem.
Should he continue seeking doctors till he finds one that is understanding or what?

My dad has been sick with strep throat like symptoms for about 6 weeks. After he went to the doctor he eventually got a biopsy. Today the test came back positive for cancer and he is really freaked out. I was just wondering if anyone has known anyone with throat cancer, and if so how it has affected the patient. All my dad talks about is making sure the house is paid off and that he has enough life insurance. Is this normal for someone recently diagnosed with cancer? He seems so morbid about everything. My sister and I are going off to college this week and I know I'm going to have to come home a lot to do the things he has always done (mow the lawn, rake the leaves etc.). I just don't want to make him feel weak when he starts his radiation and chemo. What did you do for your loved one when they were going through treatment?
Sorry if I was rambling but it's been a long day. Just share your story of how you got through it and what you did to make them feel better?

My mother had a stent put in about 1 month ago. She was put on toporol and plavix. Lately she has been experiencing swollen ankles and shortness of breath. Could this be related?

Ok, so I asked about having sex without a condom with birth control back in March. Since then, we've always used a condom and it's never broken. There was one time back in the second week of June where we started w/o a condom, but we put one on before we got too far.

Since then, I've always had my period on time at the end of my pack of pills. It comes on either Monday or Tuesday. I've gotten my period at the end of June and the end of July. There was nothing unusual about them.

I don't know what to think. I've been peeing more lately, but back in late July, I had a UTI and took antibiotics. I also started to have one last week, but it cured itself because I drank a lot of cranberry juice and water. Now I've lowered my intake of fluids, but I still pee a lot. Frequent urination is a symptom of pregnancy, but I haven't had any other sypmtoms and we've been using condoms that haven't broken. What's going on?

My friend has been smoking for 27 years and he has suffered 3 heart attacks. I have told him numerous times to stop, but he says if i can get at least ten people to give advice to him, he will get help. Any advice or experiences?

you see...yesterday at around 10:00 @ night i was brushing my teeth. First i rinsed my mouth with CREST whitening mouthwash. Then after that, i noticed something really gross on my tongue. It looked like this yellowish/greenish fungus on the middle of my tongue. It kinda reminded me of like dog fur on top of my tongue. i tried scraped it off with my tongue scraper and brushing it with my toothbrush.
My mom thought it was like a reaction from the mouthwash.

But today, it was still there. Sometime in the afternoon, i tried to scrape it off again, and it got a little bit of it off. But it kinda looked like little tiny peices of my tongue came off. and I don't know how to get rid of this or what it is. I mean i brush my teeth reguraly and I'm really worried and it looks really discusting.

I wanted to see if any of ya'll are dentists or doctors and can tell me why my tongue suddenly did this, what this "fungus" is and how will i get it off. Please HELP ME!!!

thanx (in advance)

Alright, this is a tad bit gross, but I think I should get a well-informed opinion.

What is it when you have a green-ish vaginal discharge? Should I be concerned? Is there anything I could do to fix it?

The amount of ppl that it affects, you'd think that the ppl who run the companies would have found the cure right now. OH! and shouldn't the ppl be giving their materials for free? Like if the cancer researchers needed some sort of medicine shouldnt the ppl at the companies ( that make that kind of medicine) shouldnt they give it to the cancer researchers for FREE? or is it all about making money? what is the world coming to? If you get what i mean.

The lady left me a message and said to call back at my earliest convenience, but the office is now closed. The only reason I can think of for this is because I take Lexapro, Xanax, and Hydrocodone - all of which I have prescriptions for. I don't want to lose this job and I know I'll be worrying about this all day/night. Since the lab contacted me directly, is it likely that they just want to verify the prescriptions?

I'm 28 and I have diabetes type 2. I know I'm supposed to watch my toes and keep care of them. Well last Wednesday night, I was closing a door and it ran over my big toe. There was lots of blood but when I cleaned it and looked at it, it just seemed to have ripped part of the nail off.

I've been cleaning it and I left it uncovered (I was home for a few days, so I didn't have to worry about dirt or anything). Well today I went to clean it and it looked like there was some dried blood around the cuticle. I wiped it off and it appears that it may been a scab. Underneath it was clear, very foul smelling liquid.

My question is: if it was anywhere else, I'd put some antibacterial lotion on it and cover it with a band-aid and wait. But since it's my toe and I have diabetes, should I check I go to the doctor? Or just put the lotion on it and give it a day or two?
