Hi! I've been having low grade fevers the past month, ranging from 37.7-38.6. I went for checkup, and the MD said my x-rays are clear, my bloodworks are fine,even my GIT exams like UA. My RBC count doesn't indicate anemia, and my WBCs are in the normal range, i had a negative test for typhoid fever. I've been having cough, but the MD said it's non-infectious. At first, she gave me carbocisteine for my cough and cefaclor, with some paracetamol for my fever. When the fever did not resolve, i was placed on a week of Loratadine, coz she thinks it might be allergy related, and ciprofloxacin. Usually, the fevers start in the afternoon, and came everyday since it started. I noticed some days when the fever occur i have pounding headache, but thought it's just an effect of the fever. I still have dry cough, and my sputum are clear. I am worried why my fevers do not resolve. I couldn't start looking for a job because of it. Please help me. thanks a lot!

About two weeks ago, my boyfriend and I were fooling around and he came in my hands but after we both washed our hands... later though, he returned the favor for me by fingering me about a half hour or so later. I know I probably sound stupid but is there a possibility that I could be pregnant? I know worrying about this probably messes with my hormones and my period isn't exactly regular but I really am nervous about it cause it hasn't come yet. Any advice would be most appreciated.

Whenever I start feeling really depressed, or like I'm really ugly, I scratch really lightly on my left arm and left leg. I do it really lightly so I can feel the numbing sensaton for as long as possible. As soon as the skin turns bright red, I stop. It stops feeling good if I do it too long. I've been doing this for as long as I can remember, but they told us at school that if you harm yourself in any way, you're crazy. I can't be crazy, because my friend said that if you don't cut then your still ok.

(I only do it on my left arm and leg. I don't like to touch my other side for some reason. And I started only writing and typing with my left hand a little while ago)

Is it wrong or something?

My period should have been here by now, but it's not. I thought it was definitely coming today because I've been having all of my symptoms (I get overly-emotional and cry alot, food cravings, cramps, etcs). When I went to the bathroom earlier today, there was blood when I wiped. I thought this for sure meant my period was here, but there has been absolutely no bleeding since then. Nothing. This has never happened to me before, and my period is usually always regular. I'm a really paranoid person, so I was hoping someone could help me out. What is usually the cause of something like this?

I live in Canada & although I haven't been diagnosed with cancer I was just wondering what would happen if someone was & they refused conventional treatments because they wanted to persue an alternative approach. I've heard of people being forced into it in the US.

Urinary tract infection aka bladder infection. I got this a week ago and have been taking AZO from over the counter at Wal-Mart. I also have been upping my usual dosage of cranberry juice on top of cranberry tablets. It has been years since I got one of these and I wonder if there's an better herb that can tackle this immediately. I don't believe in going to doctors for something I can doctor myself.

How does a doctors office weigh a large person when their size and weight exceeds the office scale capability.? My sister weighs more than our local doctors office's scale is capable of reading. I thought if they could get two scales, side by side, we would have two readings the sum of which would be her weight. What do you learned folks think?

My bf's having his 22nd birthday and I forgot to give him a birthday present!

I'm planning to give him something special here, something that would remind him that I'm still his gal... tee-hee!!

And so, I want to give him a Pink Lady and Mastomatic. Is it a good idea? I want to ensure that while I'm away or not on the mood, he still has his own "toy" to play by himself and not with the other woman....

What do you think then? If Pink Lady and Mastomatic are not such good toys, what else would you recommend here?

Hi, I have a dental abscess, and the dentist told me that I needed a root canal, I am using antibiotics now, so the abscess is not painful but there is a lump on my gum. Can I continue using antibiotics in cases of later pains, and wait three months so that I can visit my own dentist?

My husband had a reg blood check up and found out he has a high SGPT. He's been drinking every night, but in moderation. Does this have an effect in the result? He suggested that he stop all his vitamins because he said it also affects his liver function. Is this true? Do hope you can enlighten me on this. Thanks in advance.

Why can't we just buy "Near sighted" glasses at the local drug store like we can buy "Far sighted" reading glasses for $10 and that's it? It makes no sence. If I just have normal bad eye sight, then why can't I just go to the local store to buy some near-sighted glasses
Near-Sighted glasses are reading glasses also, but just to read further away. If N.S. glasses were sold near me for $10, I wouldn't give myself a stronger pair, maybe weaker if anything as long as I can see everything with them. If one of my eyes were stronger than the other, I would buy 2 of the same pairs of glasses just to get the different powers.
When I went to the eye doctor a long time ago to get glasses for around $150, they also checked my eyes for some sort of diseases, but shouldn't you get that done for getting far-sighted reading glasses?

This question has been buging me forever and ever!!!!!

I am really confused about this whole circumcision thing, my fiances sister says that its not right, that it puts the baby in unnessessary pain and they just tell you that they can get infections because it is their way of making money. and then my mom and friends tell me that they really can get an infection from not having it done, so I was wondering if anyone on here wasn't circumcised that could tell me what their experiences have been? I am just wondering in case I ever have a baby and it is a boy. I want to know what I am going to do.. I have also heard if you do not get it done that you could get in trouble for neglect, etc. ITS SO CONFUSING!!! everyone tells me something different!
