I had wrote a question about my symtoms and the possible diseases. My doctor has done a blood test and it came back normal so they wanted to say "oh, you're fine. go home." I've done my research and i KNOW there are many conditions that don't come up in blood work or if it's Lupus it hasn't been affecting my body long enough to show up and there are occasional cases that nothing ever shows up in blood work. I'm so distraught and frustrated. This all came to a head after I had my daughter and I've just been getting quickly and consistently worse since then (she's 11 months old). It's not fair to me or her that I'm living this way. My doctor denies it, but like I've experienced with MANY of my doctors they don't trust nor offer me equal treamtent because of the piercings and tattoo I have. Its obvious, and it's frustrating. If my doctor won't do anything and is in no hurry to treat me, help me, or find out what's wrong. My hope that I will ever get treated is fading so fast now.

I who suffers from Neurofibromatosis cannot walk the street without some a***holes ruining my day by say stupid s*** like look at that mans head, I am just as good as any of the people out there, Maybe even better. As I understand people and we are all different. I mean image everyone looking the same, how boring would that be. By the way Neurofibromatosis is a benign tumor on the side and back of my head.

My doctor prescribed me Nexium for my severe heartburn and esophagus damage, but my insurance will not cover the medication until the authorization goes through. Trouble is I'm going on vacation before I'll be able to get the medication and of course my Doctor is on vacation now too. I'll be moving around a lot on my vacation and I cannot take the prescription with me. Can I take Prilosec, which is over the counter, until I return from my 10 day trip, and will it help me? Is it safe to switch between the two medicines?

The chiggers are almost impossible to kill. They get on you, then get under your skin and bite. Me and my friend C both have bumps all over. It sucks >_< They also look like baby spiders, if that helps.

I had a severe allergy on Thursday and ended up in A&E with Steroids and Piriton being injected. I think it was due to the Strawberries I had just eaten, but after doing a bit of research online, I have also seen that Ibuprofen can cause similar symptoms. I took 2 Ibuprofen a couple of hours before for my shoulder pain. To the best of my knowledge, I have no other allergies except for Tree Pollen Hayfever in the Spring, and my research shows that there can be a link. Can anybody give me anymore information/good website so that I can continue researching.

I am visiting my doctor on Monday to discuss with her but I would like to have as much info as possible beforehand.

I love strawberries!!!! Ibuprofen I can always do without.

Topic says it all.

If someone has HPV, can they transmit it to another person through heavy kissing and/or any non-genital touching?


Thanks.

I have a sore on the inside of my bottom lip in front of my teeth. It only hurts occasionally, so I know it's not a canker sore since those hurt like the dickens. It's just obnoxious. I think it's infected, because it fills up with something, and becomes a round, hard ball until it breaks open. It will drain for a couple of days, and then fill up again. It repeats this cycle over and over again, and I've had it for more than two weeks. It's disgusting, and I'm not sure of how to get rid of it. Does anyone know?
