i was recently tested for an UTI & it came back normal, but when i went to an OB/GYN they found leukocyte in my urine...now the doctor asked me if i wanted to go on antibiotics but i was on them before. & it's also possible i have a yeast infection. so how do i treat the leukocyte??? i was on antibiotics before & it wasn't improving. then i stop taking them because my UTI was negative & they told me to stop taking them...does leukocyte mean i have a UtI? does anybody know how can this be treated? i called a primary doctor but got no answer. so what should i do??

Any other prescription medication that's less addictive and has lesser side-effects?
The injury I'm asking about is deep cuts to the wrists, stitches. The person had been on a dosage of Percocet previously but had developed an addiction that may have led to a near overdose.

I am helping my elderly parents clear their land up and I am very allergic to poison ivy. I now have it on my arms and hands. I have been to the doctor already and he gave me a shot of steroids, it is not stopping. We can't afford another trip to the doctors office. I have also tried everything that I can think of out there to stop it from spreading. I have even bought that stuff in a tube that is about $40. and that has not worked. I have used oatmeal, calamine lotion and spray. I have taken vinegar baths. Is there any home remedies that any body knows about at all? I know not to scratch it, even though it itches like crazy. I have to get rid of this as I take care of my parents. Please help me out here if you can.

I'm 16, and On the First of August I'm going to get my Gallbladder out. It bugs me sometimes, lots of the time I'll feel it, I've had two major attacks, but I'm scared of this surgery...I heard that Bowel was it? Movements are never the same after that, and that you have runny stools, and all that jazz. It kinda frightens me. I've also read you have accelorated ageing?

I don't know if I want this if that will happen? Is it best to deal with the pain?

I'm trying to conquer my addiction to caffeine. It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't get such a bad headache. I've had these before when I wasn't able to get a cup of coffee or something, and conventional medicine doesn't seem to help. So, what would you suggest I try?

I think it's from throwing up at least, because I throw up maybe once or twice a week. I'm not full-on bulimic though. I mean, I don't do it every day. What are some good home remedies I can use to help my throat? Because I don't think it's bad enough to actually see a doctor. And I hate taking medication.

i had a huge almalgon filling put into my tooth in 1994 because i coudln't afford a root canal and the dentist didn't want to pull it. He puhe put a metal filling in that always felt hyuge, but in Aprial, when it fell out, (after 13 years, I couldn't believe my eyes, this think was the size of a bumball and it was as heavy as lead. Odddly enoughy in the last ten years I'd been diagnosed with BIpolar befcause I have mood swings and there are times when I can't do much but sit in the chair and watch tv. Well, the filling fell out in April, and sisiisnce that week, i have had no probelems with depression . AT ALL. don't even have to take my antidepressents anymore. went back to work, keeping up with life and feeling great. my herbalist in az. says it had to be from the metal filling coming , relieve me of toxins in my fillings that sometimes cause depression. Can this be true? I feel I'm a different person and i love being alive for the 1st time in 20 year. any similar experiences?

I've tried the gum, the patch, etc...but they didn't work...I'm looking along the lines of something more naturopathic or holistic, etc.
