This is really frightening. Maybe now I know the reason why so many people are sick with odd illnesses.

He said that this was a steroid that will shrink my nerve in my lower back aleaving the pain getting caused by my disc hitting against my nerve. It's been a hour since it was givin to me through a needle I see little results 3 doctors already recommended surgury. But I heard so many people tell me once you go under the surgical knife espeacially in your back your never the same again. Which creeped me out and made me not wanna do it, I am in alot of pain as I type this though and this so called "MethylPREDNlsolone" isn't working ok so now I have a pack of this medication to be taken for 6 days orally Im supposed to take 2 tablets before breakfeast in a little while im not sure if im going to continue this medication if it's not going to work. My mother says if I get the back surgury for me to find someone to take care of me because she isn't going to do it im only 18 years old im to young for this what should I do the 2 disc that are herniated are the L4 and the L5. What should I do?

I have 25 years... and my voice is kind of high, don't like that.
P.S.: Already know about the growing older will make my voice lower... etc. Please do not suggest talking pills or lifting weights.
I'm open to any ideas that will help me get my voice deeper and raspier in somehow short time.

I have a lot of acne scars on my body that happen to cover a large area(s). They seem to fade if I use the first to dry a bit, then take a good shower, then use skin conditioner and then neosporin (or cheaper vitamin A&D stuff)... anyway, it's a large area. ummm, am i going to get sick or something if i do this from time to time?

For about 8 months now I have had a weird growth on my right index finger next to the nail. There is no pain present no matter which way I push on it. It looks like white hardened jagged skin. I did not have this until after I started to work as an overnight stocker, I thought maybe it was skin building up from the side of my finger rubbing up against the boxes. I have not worked there for about 3 months now and it is still there. Any help would be much appreciated.

She is 8 yrs old and had a bad cough which was making her eyes red as she coughed so much. The vet gave her antibiotics and said after that there was no infection. On odd days she has trouble breathing and her nostrils are flared. The vet has it could be an allergy. She is loosing weight badly. she is happy in herself though. She has always had this problem since we got her. She has been wormed and is fed regularly in small amounts. What can we do??

My husband and I drive 45 miles to work. He works across town. I have no vehicle, it's at work with him (he dropped me off this morning). I have no voice, an earache from heck, a sore throat and I am coughing things up. I have a chiropractor's appt. this afternoon that I probably shouldn't miss. (I normally speak with plenty of people on the phone every day, but I could use email.) What do you think I should do? It would be nice to get some rest and have a longer weekend, but I dont want to cut my husband's day short either. Should I schedule a doctor's appt.? They will probably just tell me to take hot showers to clear congestion and drink plenty of fluids. If anyone knows and remedies I can use here at work to make me a little more comfortable, I would appreciate them!

For over 8 years, Mum has periodic bleeding lasting up to 7 days at a time. She had a hysterectomy about 35 years ago. To try to find answers, she's been to numerous gynocologists, has had x-rays, ultrasounds, colonoscopies etc. She's recently had haemorrhoids removed, but still bleeds every few weeks. At her age it is particularly distressing and unpleasant and leaves her very weak. It seems doctors give up when what they try doesn't work.

Has anyone heard of this before? Does anyone have any suggestions as to what could be causing the bleeding and/or what could be done about it?

I have a spot on my groin which is very painful, I only noticed it yesterday. I do shave down there but I didn't think I had shaved in the area where the spot is. It does not look like the ingrown hairs I have had before, and I can not see a hair inside, but I can not think of any other possible cause.
I do not want to touch it as it may get infected if it is not already, if it is an ingrown hair is it ok to leave, may it eventually come to the surface it's self, or will it just get worse?Thanks in advance

Hi-

My husband enjoys giving me oral when I am menstruating. Is consuming menstrual blood toxic? How about regular blood (He once licked up the blood from a cut of my arm.)? I am disease-free.

Thanks.
