My husband works outside all day and came home with several (5-6) red spots on his calves and shins. They didn't have a raised bump, just round rosy rash about the size of a pea like thing but he said they itched. Then like a day later I got a similar spot near my elbow. It didn't itch but a couple days later a bump formed and now it does itch. Any ideas?

I broke my nose a while ago and it's changed physically and I can't breathe at all (and it hurts to breathe through the top of my nose, the bone hurts or something). I saw the ENT a week ago or so and he said I had a deformity (cartilage). So I guess I have a deviated septum. If he does fix it, will it change the tip? Cause I think you can definitely tell...

Because I broke it I also have a bump on the top. If they break my nose and reset it, will it be smoothed down liek it was before?

And for Canadian residents, usually how long does it take to wait for this surgery? I live in Toronto and was wondering... they'll probably do it at the Hospital I'm guessing. I think insurance will fully cover it.

If so, where can I find it? Also, can a nurse place a video surveillance camera in a patients room - or does the authorization need to come from the person or the persons guardians?

Thanks for your time!!!!!!!

I took my physical exam two weeks ago. The blood tests and EKG came back normal except I am borderline anemic. I am cold most of the time. The doctor said I could take multivitamin iron pills.

Hi there. I have recently come out to my parents about 7 months ago now. so yes I am gay. I had a relationship not long after this for about three months. After I split up with this person I developed a deep thought , this has been getting deeper since that point. I believe that EVERYTHING is fake or generated by a higher dimension. I HATE it. It eats me up everyday. I even question whether I was actually born , and my whole life is an experiment. What do i do!!? please help me. X

I could really use some help here. I have found out today that my father has been evicted from his apartment. He was served multiple eviction notices, and due to his mental state ignored them. The eviction notices were not because he did not pay his rent, but because he was supposedly intimidating staff of the apartment complex.

My father has had a long history of being manic depressive and/or bipolar. I need to find out if there are any government programs or charities that could assist my father in finding a new place to live (he lives on his social security check) and getting some help. Aside from that is there any way to have him involuntarily committed in the state of Georgia? He is not in a fit state to make rational decisions. Please only serious and objective answers. Thanks in advance, any info would be greatly appreciated. P.S. I live in the UK and the remainder of my family live on the west coast, and unfortunatly none of us can travel to GA to help my father at the moment

My parents recently unexpectedly split up and although my father and I are devastated my mother seems to show no remorse what so ever.
She only just admitted that she had been cheating on my father with another man.
this man has been convicted of attempted rape several times all girls under the age of 25.
My grandfather has also recently been diagnosed with cancer of the pancreas which is also a big shock to us.
My mum threatens to move her new partner in which scares the crap out of me.
I have to look after my little brother who has special needs and gets distressed when she goes out form 6:30 till past midnight.
My mum has also started hitting me and insulting me which she never used to do on top of this I have to hear my dad moaning about how depressed he feels and how he feels like killing himself.
on top of this I have just changed school which has been stressful and sat important exams.
The doctor offered to put me on anti depressants but I refused things will only get worse.

I was diaganosed with diabeties in 98 and MS & Lupus in 2000. I got my diabeties under control and have done well until this happened 3 weeks ago. It took aprox.2 weeks to get a diagnosis and my neurolgist and eye dr. agreed the steroids were my best choice to help to regain my sight-I've had 5 days of IVs and started today by mouth. My meter readings have ranged from 74 to 423 This is very scarey and I know that the more stressed I get the more my levels rise. My primary care Dr.added to my reg. treatment which was 1000 glucophage and 2.5 glyburide daily. I'm now taking 2000 mg glucophage, 5 glyburide,15 actos and 100 mg janavia. I was told to stick with a high protien diet but I don't really want anything to eat I try but everything taste terrible and makes me nauseated. What can I do? Help! and Pray for me, THANKS!

Ok so, I'm 22 years old. About a year and half ago, while doing nothing significant I randomly got a "spot" of blueish color in my vision, it covered approximately 1/10th of my total field of vision. It lasted for 15 minutes and then went away. Nothing happened for about 5 months, then it happened again, just recently within the past month it happened again and lasted 20 or so minutes.

My eyes seem more sensitive and sometimes when I'm looking at something they clorors change, for example the white on my LCD monitor will turn to a light brown for very short periods of time.

The doctor said I was suffering from migraine headaches, (even though I don't have an actual headache)... I think he's wrong.

Does anyone know what this could be?

Well i don't where glasses, but this question just kinda popped into my mind. If so how do you do it?

p.s.: i am not trying to do that of course and i am just saying this because even though its obvious, some jackholes here tend to take advantage of any oppurtunity of trying to put someone down over a really obvious question, mistake, etc.

A lot of times after I do a a great amount of excercise for a certain amount of time I feel like vomitting. Is there anyway to prevent that from happening? Does it have anything to do with my posture or my breathing?

I am madly in love with my boyfriend and he is the first guy I have ever thought about having sex with (I am 20 yrs old). We have been going together for a few months and I feel I am ready to have sex with him. He has been great and has not been pushy or pressuring me, but I feel like I am putting pressure on myself now. How can I stop being so nervous about it? I know it is going to happen soon but everytime we get close I don't know whether I want to actually go through with it and I get really nervous. What can I do to relax and just do it?
