Diseases & Conditions - 30 June 2006

I cough almost constantly and always coughing up mucus. Some times its yellow or green, but mostly bubbly clear and has (looks like very small pieces of lung in it.) I'm scared that I am slowly dying. I'm tired all the time. Most of the time all I want to do is lay. My appitite is very poor, I seldom get hungry. I have lost weight and now only weigh 90 pounds. A little over a year ago I weighed 135. Insurance company's turn me down because of preexisting, copd, RH, Hodgekins, I don't know what to do. I can't afford $800 month insurance. I get friends to get prescriptions for albuterol and combivent. I started taking pills (hydrocodone) as they help me so I can breathe normal so I can work. I can get insurance through my new job in 90 days.

HAVE YOU GUYS HEARD OF MRSA. IT IS A VERY BAD STAFF INFECTION. METHICILLIN RESISTANT STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS. IT IS A DEAL AND IT IS KILLING PEOPLE. IT STARTS OUT LIKE A BOIL OR EVEN A PIMPLE. THEN GETS VERY LARGE VERY FAST. IT GETS IN YOUR BLOOD STREAM. MY FATHER IS IN THE HOSPITAL AND HAVING SURGERY IN THE MORNING FOR IT. AS A NURSE I HAVE SEEN ABOUT 10 PATIENTS THIS MONTH ALONE WITH IT. IF YOU THINK YOU MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING THAT SOUNDS LIKE THIS GO TO THE DOCTOR ASAP.

OK, I have a 2nd-3rd degree sun burn (ouch!) and it was killing me, but I lived with and the pain is now down to a minimum, but now I'm peeling and the fact that it's on my back, and therefor harder to reach doesn't help matters. Anyway, I was wondering if there was any way I could get the dry skin off for every day, because it itches a lot, and I really want to know a way to make this go faster at least.... also, I can't reach it, so the itchyness kills me. Once, I had to use a dull sword that I found in my brothers room! :(

Ok bear with me for a sec. My husband & I are both stubborn people and I finally said I would come on here to get a proper answer.

We were watching a rerun of "Last Comic Standing" and someone won immunity and in her interview said, "I just won an immunization". I said that's an improper use of the word because immunization is a medical term and in THIS situation, immunity has more the legal meaning. Never have I heard a lawyer plea for his client to get an immunization if he gives up more information. Never has Jeff Probst said on Survivor, "You just won yourself an immunization".

We called our friends and they're split down the middle. If you say, "I just won an immunization" pertaining to legality or a reality show, is that a correct usage of the word? It's driving me nuts!

And yes, I'm THAT stubborn.

I have had horrible sinus problems during the last week. I can barely hear with the ringing too. On top of that I have a bad cough. What is wrong with me and how do I get rid of it? I have been to the doctor and all he gave me was allergy medicine but it has not relieved the pressure that I am experiencing

I recently noticed skin tag like things on my vaginal area and am wondering if this is an STD or can they appear from heat? Will they go away or do they need to be treated and if so how?
