Health - 17 November 2007

i had noticed these lil tiny red/flesh colored bumps at the edge of my lips a few weeks ago and since then they have gotten bigger and i used hot compresses (and i mean boiling hot) and one of them, (theres two) sorta popped up like a pimple but the white head on it was rock hard. well i figured... Stupidly that i would pop it and put hydrogen peroxide in there. well i sterilized the tweezers and very painfully popped that one. and put peroxide which bubbled ALOT and i left it alone. i asked my mom (she's a nurse) an she said i should have left them alone. well i knew i shouldnt have messed with it but i did anyways. i DO have Herpes type 1 (the fever blister one) and these arent normal fever blisters and the type i usually get are INSIDE the mouth. any ideas as to what they are?

Ever since Halloween, i have been waking up every morning at 8:30am, with a pain in my lower abs and I have to go to the washroom. Unfortunatly it doesnt stop there. I at least have to got 2 more times before the afternoon. (Sorry to be so graphic and detailed!!) I have noticed that my stool is not normal.
What should I do? Should I be taking anything? Help!!
P.S. Upon having to go to the washroom so many times, my stomach is also upset, and on some days I can not eat anything until dinner time. This cant be too healthy!!!
Please Give me your advice if you have any!! :D
Thanks!!
Michelle

But my cardiologist put me on blood thinner - metoprolol - and when I went for my 3month check up my blood pressure was 90/50. I thought that was low but was told it just meant my heart didn't have to work as hard. I also take xanax for my panic disorder and xanax also lowers my heart rate. So - I don't want to take the metoprolol and need something for my heart which won't make my blood pressure so low. Would really appreciate some suggestions. Thanks so much.

Everything can be so down that it drives me to SI and then it can go to normal and then it can go to me bouncing off the walls and not being able to focus on anything...

It seems I get major mood swings sometimes, it is weird. Yesterday at work I was in a decent normal mood for a while and then the last 3-4 hours I was there I just get this burst of energy, can't keep still, can't focus on my work at all, can't get anything done, forgetting stuff like crazy. But still with lots of anxiety, like wanting to scream 'cause I am trapped in this state that I can't do anything to fix it.

Maybe it is from trying to hide my true emotions, I had this moment at work where things kinda hit me and I was just really down. Then someone asks me what is wrong so I say "nothing" and cover it up, then like 20 minutes later the anxiety and bounciness comes in.

I was born with Septo Optic Dysplasia, which has resulted in almost complete blindness in my left eye, nystagmus in my good eye and outward deviation of my left eye. I'm now 19 and for the past several years, I've been diagnosed with 20/30 vision in my right eye.

I don't feel like my doctor understands just how bad my vision is. The reason I score ok on vision tests is because I'm sitting still, staring at things that I know are letters. The problem is, due to the nystagmus, it's very difficult to fucus on small things at any distance. For example, if there is a still image on TV and I don't already have any idea what the image will be, I have to focus on it hard, for a good few seconds, to allow my brain to grasp what the image is actually of. I really have to already have some idea of what I'm looking at to be able to understand what I'm seeing.

Is there a more accurate way to either convey these issues to my doctor or to have him better evaluate it?

(more details to come)

I want to get a cute kitten for my 1 yr. old and my 4.5 yr old. Not to mention I want one too..lol!! Is there a pill or something I could take for the mild hives,sneezing, itchy-watery eyes, itchy throat that I get from cats?? There's got to be something! But I don't want crazy side effects either. Do I have to go to a doctor? Does the medicine relieve the allergies completely?

I am 15 and only recently taken notice of me possibly having gonorrhea after finding out sperm wasn't ment to come out as slow as it does and as lumpy. I have had gonorrhea for as long as I can remember which was probaly about 13. I have had phimosis all my life aswell but it is slowly getting better and opening up more. I was wondering if my gonorrhea was caused because I have phimosis and can't really clean under my foreskin? And what is the cures for them both? If possible I don't really want to visit my doctor about these problems, more of a last resort. ;P
