Ok, I was in the hospital for the first time in my life (besides having my son) three months ago... I went to the ER because my side was killing me and I had a really high fever. They gave me a cat scan and ran a million tests and come to find out they said I had sepsis really bad... i'm only twenty two and they said it was so unusual that a person my age would have that much bacteria in my blood and that its usually only that high in older patients. So they then diagnosed me with Toxic Shock Syndrome... so I have avoided tampons ever since of course. But here lately my side is hurting agian and at least once a day i'm saying that I don't feel good... can this stuff come back? Also, can you make it worse from drinking alcohol? I only go out maybe like once every couple months but I don't want this stuff to come back. Thanks for your help!

It happens every few days and lasts for about 10 minutes each time. Only my left though. It's been doing this off and on for a couple months now. I don't take caffiene at all either.

Dear
I needed somebody how can suggest to me a good designated hospital or medical center for medical check up +HIV+Syphilis test (not private but an Indian state hospital or medical center recognized from indian governament)
I am italian and I am looking for this hospital because I needed to apply for a Chinese employment visa.
I found a lots of good private center and hospital but not a good governament hospital.

Thank you
Mina

I've already thrown up twice tonight. The first time I just basically threw up water and stomach acid. The second time it was dark yellow and I couldn't stop, so I started throwing up some blood, too. Should I go to the ER?

I left my differin gel in the car overnight and it got down to about 35 degrees. I realized it and I got it out of the car - it did not freeze but it was stored at a low temperature for approximately 12 hours.

Will this have any impact on the medicine's effectiveness, should I use it?

Thanks,

I noticed that I sometimes feel a stabbing pain( ? ..like as if something is pricking me) often at the left side of my thorax. I can't determine if the pain is located right by my ribs or at the ICS. the pain doesnt radiate and it lasts for a few seconds although rarely does it cause severe pain that I have to hold my breath. Whenever that happens I have to breath intermittently cause it hurts in every inspiration. I dont visit the doctor so I don't know what it is. at first I thought it was due to lack of oxygen or something like muscle cramps because i noticed 'the attacks' to occur when I laugh too hard but now, 'the attacks' just happen. Can someone tell me if it means anything? thanks

is 11 years old and he weighs about 240 pounds. He knows he is fat, he just doesn't think of it as a serious problem. He has always had a weight problem, so has almost everyone on my mother's side of the family.
He eats probably about 3000 calories or more during the day, mostly from PB&J sandwichs. He is constantly gaining weight and I am terrified. For years I have tried to make it clear to him and my parents that he needs to get help before he eats himself to death, but they just don't seem to care.
He says he doesn't want to lose weight and is constantly eating junk food. I'm afraid he won't live to see his 13th birthday and I don't want to see my younger brother have to suffer through this slow, painful death.
Can you please help me, and tell me how I can convince him that he needs to lose weight, and help him do it? Your help would be greatly appreciated.

My knees and ankles always hurt when I do a lot of excersize. I feel a sharp kind of pain in them, and I don't know what it is. Also, if I bend down bending them, they will kill me. It sometimes gets to a point where it is difficult to walk. Have any idea what it could be?
