I have been diagnosed with shingles and am on medications. There is a band about 4 inches wide which runs from my spine around and over my right rib cage to my front midline. There are only 4 welts which are not blistering and the hot, stabbibg pain is nearly unbearable at times. I would like to hear from others who have or have had shingles and what you found gave you relief.

Do you know of a type of brain tumor that starts with an L... I have done some internet research and can't find anything on one that starts with an L. and it isn't the lowest but next to lowest grade. I know it is inoperable and located deep in the brain because they said a biopsy could kill her. She will need chemo starting next month... does anyone have any idea what kind of tumor this might be... Thanks

Last I knew I had no allergies. I ate a sesame candy bar last night, (nothing out of the ordinary) and my throat swelled, I got hives, my eyes went all bloodshot, and it just wasn't pretty. I took Ibuprofin and Benedryl and 12 hours later my throat still has a uvula the size of a punching bag. How long can this go on if it is an allergy?

Rust comes when iron oxidizes from the presence of air. Tetanus is anerobic bacteria. So why do people say you can get it from rusty stuff (other than the puncturing of the skin part)?

And don't tell me I should be asking my doctor, of course I will ask her on my visit next month. I'm just curious to see if anyone has a ballpark. Both my mother and my aunt found out they had it last year.
