Health - 8 September 2007

i've had obsessive compulsive disorder for awhile now, couple years or so. and the kind i have makes me worry about bad things. i.e. a family member or loved one dying. but now i'm having feelings that my boyfriend is cheating on me. is it just my ocd? or is it really a gut feeling? i can't tell if i should be worrying about it or not. more of me thinks it is a gut feeling but i just dont know. because he has lied to me in the past, and cheated on me in the past too and so i just don't know what to think. any help would be greatly appreciated.

This morning I acted on an impulse and decided to shave my balls, and the area between my crack and my balls. Let's just say it was a BIG mistake. I didn't do a very good job and have a lot of sharp stubble on the sides of my balls as well as beneath them. I haven't been comfortable since I shaved them. The only time I'm at ease is if I find one position to sit in for awhile. I haven't done anything today because the itch is unbearable.

I can't walk like normal, I have to walk like I have a stick up my you-know-what to keep it from itching/hurting. I've been putting Aveeno moisturizing lotion on the area but it doesn't seem to have done much help.

Anyone know if this is the sharp stubble from the far-from-perfect shave, or what? More importantly, anyone know any quick fixes? I need to get rid of this itch. It's horrible. I can't stand it much longer.

I am a youth, but I am more mature than my friends and classmates. I feel I am "old" sometimes. I feel anxious or confused about the things happened around me. I really need to read some good books about how to deal with the world and how to get along with others. Please recommend some fiction or non-fiction books about these topics.
Thanks a bunch.

i have eczema on my arms, i used cortisone cream to clear most if up, but now where the worst patches used to be there are these white patches of skin, that stay white and don't tan, no matter how much of the rest of my skin does. i heard that it's because eczema infected skin has no pigment in it so it can't tan, does anyone know of any way i can clear these white marks up,tho???

I have had this copper IUD for two months now and have bled every day since. Finally my Dr. has put me on progesterone to make me stop bleeding and I am on day 3, still bleeding lots.
Should it have stopped my bleeding by now? I know progesterone tricks your body into thinking it is pregnant...

veruca cured by dog!?
My son has a big problem with verucas and a pal of mine had the same problems, he told me that after trying all the pharmacy stuff he ended up having it cured by his dog when he let it lick it.

Is this true and should I let his dog try?

My Dad is 55 years old and just this morning went to the hospital for fear of a heart attack. Right now hes been told that wasnt the case. He has been a heavy smoker all his life and and heavy drinker until recently. The Doctors think it has somrthing to do with his lungs. Now, if its lung cancer, would he expierence chest pains like he did? And if its cancer that did cause this does this mean its to late for him to get the help he needs? Please answer as soon as you can so I can make travel arranements if nessary. Thank you.

Before I ever had seizure I was already wearing glasses but the prescription weren't bad and I didn't need to wear them 24-7. Just when I needed to see something that was at a far distance. But in 2002 I had my first Seizure and put on Anti-Convulsants. I've had a few seizures after the first one but I was having trouble with my vision so I went to get my eyes examined and was given glasses of a stronger prescription. That was about 3-4 yrs ago but just a FEW days ago I got new glasses cuz my old frames were worn out. I again got another exam and found my eyes were worse. I'm not doing anything that might make your vision go bad. But I'm wearing glasses as thick as a Bullet-Proof glass window and I wanna know if possibly Seizure could be the cause. I occasionally still have seizures but I'm conscious and no trembling of the body. Just like few second phases which neurologist says might be caused by stress not by the medication not working. Whats your opinion guys ??

i checked this site http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/urine-odor/AN00958 and it said foul smelling urine is usually due to an infection of the kidneys or bladder. but i have been smelling this awful smell in the bathroom for weeks now and finally figured out it was my youngest daughter's urine so i cant believe it could be an infection or she would have been very ill by now. she says there has not been any itching or burning and she has not had any fever. she doesnt eat asparagus and there have not been any changes in her diet so i am very perplexed about this. i am going to make a doctor's appt on monday.

Quite often I get sores on my labia major that sort of ache and are red but very rarely pus and never rupture on their own. If broken the pus is white-ish to even a very light grey-ish brown color. I'm not sure if its herpes as they dont scar and rupture on their own but I'm not sure what they are or if they are contagious. I've had them ever since I can remember, even before I became sexually active. (And I always use protection)

on the 28th of Aug I had well.very very rough intercourse. No more than 5 hrs later i found kinda a orgasmic sensation in my urethra region..then i bled. Every time i peed it was pure pee...no blood then 5 seconds after my bladder was empty that sensation comes again and like 5-8 drops of blood come out. did that generally every time i went to the bathroom. Now it has subsided quite alot i think. The past 5 days were pretty nice...altho it bugs me still. 5 days ago i only bled the majority in the morning, then i didnt bleed at all the rest of the day and it did the same the next morning..after that ..i didnt bleed at all..it was just discharge and pee. it was like that for a day then i found a few drops of blood one time i went. Then it stopped and I didnt bleed at all for near 3 days and then this morning i bled a few drops. Everyone says its a UTI and it doesnt seem like it...since when i actually urinate its normal flow and doesnt hurt and that the blood is separate with my pee.

I just received one and it wasn't from a fire ant, but rather the black ones. But is wasn't those tiny normal black ones, it was this really humongous one, like twice or three times the size of the normal one. Is there really any difference though? Are ant bites poisonous because this my first time ever getting a bite and I felt it right away...
