I have a tattoo, its just black lettering. I'm over it and now I want it remove. I'm sure it's very costly even still they do the removal in different sittings so I'm assuming one lazer treatment has a fee, then the next one...and so on. However, if you get a tattoo removed can't you still see something there? Whether it's a scar or a very faint image of what was there. Because if that's the case I think I'll just stick with what I have. A tattoo is better than a huge scar or a "ghost image" of what was a tattoo.
Thanks :)
Oh and if you have had a successfull tattoo removal- can you provide pics?
KThanks

I wonder because I have it myself and have seen others with it but haven't seen other overweight people with it, seemingly it appears many seem to lose weight and wither away before death occurs. Can carrying extra fat reserves be helpful in extending my life or opposite effect?

Is this an eye infection? And is it pink eye?

My eyes look pink/reddish and it feels gritty. Sometimes it feels like I can't open them completely. Today, my vision's starting to blur, should I see a doctor?

The only difference it has to pink eye is that my eyes are dry and there's no discharge.

What should I do?

I can't remember the exact spelling. Methyliprodosodone? It was described as either a steroid. What effects will this have on my body? What can you tell me about this drug? I was given 21 pills. Take 6 the first day and 5 the next and so on. The swelling has gone down significantly thanks to a steroid/ benadryl shot after my hand swelled up like a softball after being bitten 9 times. Lost some feeling in my hand. It later came back. I have big blisters that are filled with pus. Anyways, what can you specifically tell me about this drug? Thank you.

Feldene, water pill for feet swelling off and on. I can't recall the other meds now but I was told I would have to be on the pain meds the rest of my life. What do you say to this ?

I would be glad to know how many cancer of the throat ( all kinds ) have had Hyperbaric Treatment to compliment the radiation and the chemo? If so - did you feel any different and did your side effects begin returning to 'normal' faster then expected? A lot of Doctors do not mention this treatment, and I just cannot understand why. I asked the doctors the same question and as in India the needy far outnumber the rich - they feel its too expesive to use the method and it would be out of reach of the same. I asked the doctors as to who were they to decide if one could afford it or not - their job was to at least mention it. I had 42 sittings of one hour each per day and can say without hesitation it did wonders towards my recovery.
It will be a pleasure to hear from all of you who have been through this torrid illness and have emerged winners.

You may have hidredenitis suppurativa. It's is claimed to be a rare skin condition. I don't believe it's so rare. I believe it is mostly unreported or misdiagnosed. Until more people who are suffering from this sometimes painful condition come out of the woodwork, it will continue to stay labled as rare and that means no funding for research. Could you be a sufferer and not know it?
