Diseases & Conditions - 6 August 2006

hey guys I asked a question a little while back, but I'm really worried and need some opinions. Last week I started feeling dizzy a bit, my ear started to ache on and off, and I felt really sick to my stomach. It went away for a couple of days but then it came back and now the pain in my ear is just getting worse, i don't feel quite as dizzy as before and don't ever get any headaches, but when I press on the right side of my head it's fairly painful. I'm a bit of a worrier so I'm convinced it's a brain tumor. It's not an ear infection. I was on antibiotics and it only got worse. I'm going to see the doc again but I can't for a week because he's away. Any feedback would be great. thanks

I'm in sooo much discomfort from a hemorrhoid - what can I do until I can get to a doctor? I am using Preparation H cream, suppositories, Tucks wipes, and I am trying not to move around. It even hurts when I am stationary, like when I'm trying to sleep. This is certainly embarrassing but I am desperate for help. The "type" of hemorrhoid I have is one lump, about a large pea size, right on the outside of my anus. Thanks.

It makes me wonder if we should be so comfortable with the bats that hang out in our backyard after all. Any one know about this biting aspect?

I'd asked a question before and people said "Don't worry." I stopped worrying, but then this article came up.

Since my diagnoses of HSV2 i had no outbreaks, the person i was intimate with had a test done, and it was false positive, he had another test done recently...and everything came out negative, he does't have it. The question was since i don't have any signs and symtoms can it be inside of the vagina in my case?

And we want to continue being intimate, but he is scared to, since he has kidney transplant....want to know is there any safe way for us to be intimate with each other without me jeopardizing his health?

My father is severly affected by diabetic neuropathy of the feet, and has tried several medications. Some days he says that his feet are just screaming. I was curious if anyone has every done any research using magnets - or if anyone has ever tried using magnets as a type of therapy. I know that they can be helpful with some other conditions and pain management.

My cousin had been having severe pains she went to the ER and they told her that it was her appenditics and would have to have surgery. When the surgeon open her up, there was nothing wrong with her appenditics, so they looked around, with a small camera. Found out she has a blood clot in the back of her heart. I have forgotten what they called it, but it is inherited. They have her in a coma state, she has a cathered and everyhting, cannot move, they siad it is very life threating, and have talked about flying her to another hospital in Nashville, Tn.
My question is, I am 24 and having some of the same systoms as she did, except I have been told that my pain was just cyst on my ovaries. But I was born with some heart problems, VSD, Mumumur, and mitro-valve prolasp. They doctor siad if my pain isnt better by friday to call her and she was going to set up an appointment to have lapascopic surgery. I am really scared, if you were me would you have the surgery, or not?

One of my friends told me this and I was just wondering if it was really true. The nurse just told me to rest and take Motrin for my swollen lymph glands. She didn't say anything about being a nun for 8 weeks...
