i'm nervous because i've never gotten a platelet count done. i'm getting it done to make sure i don't have dengue fever which is going around here in puerto rico, already a few dead from the illness.
so what do the doctors do in a platelet count? does it hurt?

Ok this is the first time I am having a UTI,
I have no obvious symptoms though, But I had pain in both of my kidneys.. My doc asked to get a urine culture done and found out the bacteria causing it is "Klebsiella Pneumoniae". Anyone heard of it or got it before?
The bacteria is resistant to many antibiotics and I am searching n searching on net but not getting anything useful treatment-wise.

My doc has planned to keep me on antibiotic Ciprafloxacin(Cipran) for 7 days n if things don't improve he's gonna give me around 7-10 injections each day? Are you ladies familier with this plan of treatment?

Any help would be so much appreciated. When my doc saw the name of the bacteria he was like "Oh No!" Is it difficult to treat or what?

Thanks in advance.

^ Just what that says! I was really thinking about it! Urine contains ammonia, and I just bleached my toilet... So if I go pee, will the fumes mix and come up and kill me while I'm on the toilet? That would be just awful!

Thanks! I'll pick a best answer TODAY!

If a healthcare worker got hep c blood on their hand and there were no visible cuts, at least that i could see. Then they gave me some sort of pills right away. Do I have a high chance of getting hep c from this?

And once I get to sleep, it wakes me up several times a night. We have a 3 month old that I have to get up with, so I'm literally not getting any sleep. We've tried everything, even the Dr. said there's not much we can do about it. Any suggestions?

I have been going out with this girl for about a month now, and she decided to let me know she has HSV-1 genital herpes. She says she has only had the one first outbreak about 3 months ago and hasnt had to be on any medication as of yet.

The problem is I really like her... Whenever Im with her my worries go away and were both just truly happy, but when were not together all I can think about is this. Usully anyone I ask what they would do in my situation say "find someone else".

I feel so bad and Im not sure what to do. When she told me she had it, she refered to herself as trash and dirty and thats hardly the case. What are my options here?

i had a tooth pulled yesterday, my dentist warned me that it is near a nerve and if damaged could possible result in numbness in my lip/gums/tongue & chin.

it looked like a simple extraction & she said it shouldn't happen but if she was concerned she would refer me to a surgeon......the extraction took about 40 minutes because it wasnt as simple as it seemed.

i now have numbness in the left side of my chin under my lip, it doesnt affect any other part of my mouth (thank god) like i read in peoples stories, just a small patch of my chin that feels strange when i touch it.

has anyone had similar problems? if so how long (if ever) did it take to go away?...i know this is like the "how long is a piece of string" question as it can take days/weeks/months/forever, just wondering as mine seems like a mild case

thanks

p.s. sorry for any typos :)

I was with a friend the other day who came in contact with someone who had to be hospitalized for MRSA, and my mother was in contact with a coworker who was hospitalized with it.

I got a small pimple-like thing on my chest, and then another next to it and it has a patch of lighter skin around it. It's REALLY small and pretty unnoticeable though. There is another thing that looks like a pimple next to it. It seriously could be nothing and I could just be breaking out. The thing that worries me is the patch of lighter skin around it.

I don't have any open cuts or anything, but I did get my nose pierced two weeks ago and I know that MRSA carriers have it in their noses. I'm a healthy 19 year old, I don't play sports, go to a gym, etc. I do live in a college dorm but my bathroom is only shared with 4 people, it's cleaned regularly and we all use our own products.

I know it could be and probably is nothing, but what should I look out for?

I think I'm going to be ok! :) After a late-night Halloween visit to the Urgent Care center, IV fluids, intravenous phenergan, then a day in bed, I have made it through lunchtime at work! YAY!

Has anyone else had the stomach flu lately? How bad was it?
