Health - 6 September 2007

I need to know of a few medicines that can help me cope with this illness without disrupting my normal daily routine. I don't want to be drowsey throughout the day and I don't want to stop drinking when I want to be social. My doctor has given me so many medicine options but I'm a little hesitant. Any suggestions????

I see sooooooooo many questions asked on here each day about circumcision and at risk of sounding controversial, i can't figure out why this is still such a big issue in the US. Most of the rest of the world has realized it isn't medically necessary to do it routinely at birth. I do realize that in a limited number of cases it may be necessary later in life but so are many surgeries such as tonsillectomies but we don't whip those out as a matter of course in the first week of life! i dunno...seems a bit barbaric to start lopping off body parts purely for social reasons.

Immature responses are not welcome but i am interested in the comments of thinking people. Who knows, this could get interesting :)

Okay, not sure if this will help but I'm 13 years old. I've been having a come-and-go pain in my stomach. Last night, it felt like someone stabbed me a million tabs everytime I moved. It took about an hour to an hour and a half for it to calm down. Then, I fell asleep. I woke up at about 6 A.M. and now it just hurts to move. I had a lowgrade fever in the morning and it feels like I stretched a muscle or pulled something in my stomach. It started near my lower chest and gradually moved its way down to... well, erm.... my privates if you know what I mean. I feel achy all over. Please help me. We don't have the money to go to the doctors right now but I wanted a good guess at what might be wrong. I've never felt this way before and I'm very worried. Please help.

Alright..
My boyfriend got these pills from a "shady" doctor and he said in order to get them again he needs to have an MRI that states that his swollen ankles is causing him enough pain so that he can have these pills.
I know it sounds really bad.. :/
So, I need to put together a MRI paper stating his symptoms and all the medical terminology.
does anyone know how i can do that?
Please help ME!

I contacted my doctor today for her to see me from this panic attack and she BLEW UP ON ME ABOUT canceling and appt. 2 weeks, on a yeast infection. I told her this is something different and I want to been seen today, she said you know stop driving, IN SUCH A RUDE WAY! She also said you keep calling and calling here and I've seen you so many times. I don't know what to do, any advice?

Hi, I'm 18 and getting circumcised. As a question to those of you who got circumcised as adults, was life better before or after you were cut.

I have a severe sore throat, fever, and rash. I've recently had a kidney transplant. I am on a lot of anti-rejection meds. I've recently switched to RAPAMUNE when I got this sinus infection; I was seen by 2 doctors (infectious disease doctor and a nephrologist, but all the lab tests they've done on me came back negative. They don't know what's causing the infection. It hurts so much even when I try to swallow liquids! I am now in the hospital because I cannot eat/drink. It's been more than 8 days. What should I do? HELP!!!

And lightheadedness too. I have it and it sucks because I've been told it's all muscle related and very hard to treat. Anyone else in the same boat?

Hi, my brother is about 13 years old. He's been playing hockey for about 4 years and this year he doesnt like his coach and his teammates. He tells me that he isnt good enough to be playing on the AA level that he is at. Recently whenever he has to go to hockey he will burst into tears and hold his stomach. Its almost obvious that hes faking it but at the same time you cant think that he is because he genuinely looks like hes in pain. For example the other day I was punchng him and throwing him around (brotherly like of course) and he was fine then 4 hrs later when my dad told him to get ready he started crying and holding his stomach. What we think it might be is some kind of anxiety. He went to the doctor and they said nothing was wrong with him. Any ideas?

I am 18 years old and know that I don't ever want children. I haven't been to my doctor to ask him yet if I can have an operation to have my fallopian tubes severed as I suspect that he will say I cannot. Does anyone know what the laws are about this? (kindly refrain from telling me, 'Oh you are young and will change your mind because I won't. Anyone who tells me this will receive a blunt response as that is blatant ageism).

My dad has had two recent acute 'events' of dementia. The first one lasting on a few hours, 2nd time lasting much longer - from 7 am until 5 or 6 that evening. He spent the day in the hospital and left w/out a diagnosis. During these 'spells' his short term memory is non-functioning. He will ask the same questions over and over, make the same 'jokes' or comments over and over and not realize he's already said it. During his health history he heard my mom tell the nurses that his mom had passed away a year ago, and it struck him as though it was the first time he'd heard. He 'forgot' that my sister was pregnant and due in 5 weeks, and he looked shocked when he saw her in the hospital that day, asking her when she was due. He has no problem with recognition. We're all confused. The bloodwork, echo, dopplar, and eeg are normal. The MRI was unremarkable and he's to see a neurologist this week. Any ideas?

Hello all

My mum had a bladder operation 6 weeks ago, basically to lift her bladder as she was going loo all the time and has had 5 kids. They also took out her uterus and tightened the walls around her bladder in general.

She didnt recover well, but came home about 3 weeks ago and in the past 3-4 weeks, has been treated for a urine infection by her GP, two lots of anti-biotics have been given but she still has an infection and will be given more AB's tommorow.

She is also worried that the op. didnt work, she says she is still bleeding, still has very little control of her bladder and is discharging brown stuff and blood.

My mums surgeon has been rubbish with the follow up and we feel basically useless. I know this site isnt the best place to get such detailed medical advice, but my mum just wants to know if this is normal and has anyone else been through it.

Many thanks.
