Please help me i'm so scared. well recently i went lookin throuhg this website that showed symptoms of Std's and while i was going throuhg i had seen Gonorrhea and last year around this time i had the same symtpoms showed on the wbsite. i've been horrified all year becaus im so scared ta go get tested for hiv. im 16 and if i knowi have hiv there's abosolutely no way im going to be able to finsih high school. I'd rather have my parent not know because i dont want them to be sad. whike reading i saw that Gonorrhea can led to HIV. i'm really not quite understanding that part. I was only having unprotected sex with one person who was my boyfriend so how would it be possible that i have HIV if i took so long to get tested for Gonorrhea? Couldi still just have Gonorrhea? please dont tell meto get tested because getting tested for Hiv is the last thing im trying to think about. HELP!!!

could a hearing aid improve the symtoms of this disease. My aunt who is 92 had a head injury and shortly after developed dizziness, nausea, ringing in the ears, hearing loss,falling sensation + short term memory loss. All shes been given is stemetil ( anti sickness drugs) which she takes one every day. Her attacks are more frequent & shes becoming trapped in her home. There must be something else she can take, something to stop the vertigo, iam so worried for her & feel helpless that i cant do more. Can anyone suggest anything!!!!!!

Or is this just an excuse for bad choices? Or are we trying to legalize and give credibility to social problems?

If nicotine addiction is the hardest one to overcome, why isn't it treated more seriously?

I was recently diagnosed with mono and my dr. gave me amoxicllin. 9 days after taking it I broke out in the most severe rash I have ever seen in my life. I have it from the bottom of my neck all the way down to the tops of my feet. It itches like crazy. I am currently taking steriods and benadryl, but both seem to be doing nothing. Has anyone ever had this problem or known someone that this has happened to? If you have any help please let me know! Thank you!

I got a call today from my doctor about my lab results. It seems that I have high cholesterol levels. I'm only 22 and I was curious if anyone else was diagnosed at a young age and/or what I can do about it. I know lifestyle changes are in order, but I'd like to know if anyone has specifics that worked well for them.

It doesn't itch, it's not exzema. (sp?) The follicles are bumpy and when I drag my fingernail over normal skin then onto the patch, there is less feeling on the patch. It's not scaly, not discolored. It's been there awhile. Vit. A deficiency? Can't really see it visibly unless you look close and see the follicles.

Omigod..I just noticed that as I sit at my desk (it's a high chair) that's exactly where my knee hits the desk when my legs are crossed. Is that possible? Why would the follicles be like that?

My immune system is shot (Candidiasis, many food intolerances, hay fever, fatigue, aches and pains), what should I do now? Regular docs, including gastroenterologist and allergist haven't been able to diagnose and help, naturopath has me on probiotics, I eat no sugar/yeast/vinegar BUT I'M STILL SICK.

Last yr around this time i was recovering from liver failure,really near death because of drinking.It obviousley didn't completley quit,but the docters were unsure if i would live through the night.I regained back a large % of the functioning use of it,however it will never regain its full ways.They said one more drink will kill me.Is this true?I know that 1 beer canot make someone drop dead,but if i started drinking very lightly i mean like practicaly none,only once a month or so mabey 2,32 ounce bottles of beer,and never anything hard ever again,do you think it would infact catch up with me all over again with extreme health issues again.
