Health - 15 November 2007

Hi. I went to the doctors today to get tested for BV, I was sure I had it. And I do. So she prescribed me oral and vaginal antibiotics. I have not been with more than one person in the past 3 years, and neither has my partner. But my doctor told me that I have a high white blood cell count, which signals another kind of infection other than BV. She told me it could be chlamydia, gonoreah or Trich. Or it may be nothing. Now, I've been tested for these in the past 3 years, more than once, and never came back positive. And since my BF and I have not had other partners, what else could this be?

She also prescribed me medication for a yeast infection. Although she said she tested for it, but it came back negative, it could just be that I do have it and the test doesn't recognize it. I have also been on antibiotics on and off for a few months now, so that is why she wants me to take the yeast meds.

But what else could this be? She said my cervix looks good. But I do have HPV.

I've been noticing more and more that the hearing in my left ear is not good. I had an eardrum burst when I was a small child, and I am starting to wonder if it was the left one (I don't remember the incident--I was under 5.) I can't hear people who are sitting on my left unless they are talking very loudly--I am having to pretend to hear them by nodding along, or turning my head so my right ear is facing them. Can a GP do a hearing test, or do I need to see a specialist?

OK, the parents of a 12 year old wants him cut but he doesn't want it. Many questions here:

Will the doctor refuse to do this to an unwilling child?

Or do parents have the right to make that decision and override the childs?

I have heard people say both. What is likely to happen given that neither the parents or the child cave?

A friend has asked me to source a really good cream to stop her heels from cracking from the dry skin she suffers from. I have researched a lot of creams but a lot of them seem to have 'Urea' in them (And we all know what that is!).

Is there a cream out there that people have tried and tested and can recommend - I don't want to insult her by getting a cream with pee in it....

Only sensible answers please - appreciate it!

I dont want to have to suffer and truly diet, but I'm willing to cut out my usual doughnuts and fast food breakfasts.. no chips and desserts at lunch at work.. .use diet pops when I have alcohol....drink just water or milk other times, no pops.....cut out butter and sourcream that I love....also eat very small portions at dinners.

I have an eliptical machine I just got and love.. and can do at least 30 minutes most every day at #3 resistance (it goes 1-10)

Thats a lil bit about me...any advice or suggestions? I will be happy with at least a 5 lb weight loss in the 3 weeks but more would be great!

My head feels extremely heavy, and I get quite dizzy plus my vision seems to darken and I can feel my heartbeat is heavy. It only happens when I get up suddenly from sitting or lying down, and lasts for a number of seconds. I've had this before and if memory serves me correct, when I had my blood tested, I was told my blood pressure was a little higher than it should be.
However, I also have throbbing pains where my arteries are, and I didn't have this before. These pains are in my upper arms and thighs, and very occasionally in my lower torso region. It may sound stupid or weird me saying this, but these pains feel like they're coming from my arteries, yet I don't know whether you have nerves in your arteries that could allow you to feel anything. These throbbing pains happen randomly and my legs or arms aren't crossed, or in any positions that would allow blood flow to anywhere else but down, normally.

I'm starting to get a little worried because I've had this for several months now

On March 30 2007 was having a normal day then BOOM all of a sudden had shortness of breathe arms numb chest pain I felt like I was going to die husband took my to the local EMS station and I pass out along the way at the hospital I was told I had an anxiety/panic attack. a week later I still felt bad went back to the ER and was told it could be my heart cause of all the chest pain etc etc..went to a cardiologist was put on a heart monitor for a month everything normal, ekg's all normal echo ekg all normal. I had a nuclear stress test firt part laying under the camera resting everything was normal had to stop in the middle of it due to a reaction to the dye they used. went back 2 weeks later to do an echo stress test ran on the treadmill 6-8 minutes jumped off and they did an echo of my heart which I heard was better then the nuclear stress cause the echo picks up more everything came back normal..what can this be.

I need ways to lose weight but NOT gain muscle. I will do that after I have lost about
6-10 pounds. I know the best way is to run and swim, well I hate running and its not swim season so I need some more ideas. I do enjoy walking though.

I recently took a week off of working out which turned into almost three weeks because I got really sick at the end of my week off.

When I go back sometime in the next few days go is it ok to hit the weights really hard just like I used to? or do I have to start slow and build back up?
What are the consequences?
