I am 16 years old and I have been wetting the bed for as long as I can remember. In the past year it has really slowed down until recently I've had several accidents. I feel ashamed even though I can't help it but, when I was younger I used to get a spankin by my parents and they'd usually tell me that I was just lazy and didn't get up and go. That was definetly not the case because who wants to be drenched in urine at anytime. I just wanted them to understand so bad. It was really hard explaining to my friends when I was 9,10 and 11 why my bed was wet at their house. I just want this to go away but, everyones always told me that there is nothing the doctor can do about it but, I need to know if there is medication or something. I've lived like this for long enough, I'm tired of it and I just want it to stop. Please anything would be helpful.Thank you.

I've been taking Advair 250/50 for about 6 years now and I bruise extremely easily. Is anyone else having these symptoms? I also have the excessive belly fat I have heard about from Advair. I have started searching for alternative ways to treat Asthma besides this drug. Does anyone have any info they can give me on herbal remedies or things they have done to ease their Asthma symptoms? I recently reduced my dosage to 100/50 to see if that makes any difference. I have tried to go without the Advair but my asthma symptoms appear very quickly without it. I really want to get off of this medication! Any advice is appreciated.

Last night, I felt a pricking sensation on my chest. A few min later, I felt another on my stomach. I woke up this morning very itchy with a big red circle on my stomach and a slight rash in that same area. I went to the walk-in clinic and the Dr said it was probably a spider bite. She recommended steroids but I told her no way. I don't take medicines really unless I absolutely have to. She then recommended Claritin or Benadryl & some cream. I'm putting the cream on it and it HAS gotten better so does anyone think I HAVE to take the meds or can I wait it out? I think if the Dr was really concerned this was a serious spider bite, she would've told me. She didn't look too concerned (or interested) at all. Thoughts? I live in CT and this happened in a building, I never go outside. I don't think the spider was too dangerous...

Is it just a general practitioner, or is there a specific name for it? A diabete-ist? If someone can help me, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

I'm 17 years old. I have had asthma since I was about 3 years old. I was on a lot of meds as a kid, but within the past 6 years I have not been on anything. In the past 3-4 years though, I needed to be on a preventor med. I just never told my mom. (i know... stupid... you dont have to tell me) Within the past few weeks my lungs have really started to hurt. It's not my heart... It's my lungs and I've never ever ever had pain like this.. Also, I get these really sharp pains near my ribs when I take a deep breath and it hurts so much that I can't finish the breath.... Is this all related to my asthma?? By the way, I'm not a total idiot and I am going to the doctor soon.... I was just wondering if there was any advice out there for me.... thanks...
