the doc said my post void residual was a bit abnormal and that he found numerous kidney stones in my left and right kidneys. i'm very worried about the urinary retention. there wasn't any hydronephrosis or anything like that found. for the past two years I have had to urinate frequently.. lately I have had to urinate more frequently at night. I'm 25 years old and I'm really scared by this finding. can someone give me some input? thanks

Leptospirosis -- VERY IMPORTANT PLEASE READ


This incident happened recently in North Texas. A woman went boating one Sunday taking with her some cans of coke which she put into the refrigerator of the boat. On Monday she was taken to the hospital and placed in the Intensive Care Unit. She died on Wednesday.

The autopsy concluded she died of Leptospirosis. This was traced to the
can of coke she drank from, not using a glass. Tests showed that the can was infected by dried rat urine and hence the disease Leptospirosis.

Rat urine contains toxic and deathly substances. It is highly recommended thoroughly wash the upper part of soda cans before drinking out of them.
The cans are typically stocked in warehouses and transported straight to
the shops without being cleaned.

A study at NYCU showed that the tops of soda cans are more

Contaminated than public toilets (i.e).. full of germs and bacteria. So wash them with water before putting them to the mouth to avoid any kind of fatal accident.


Please forward this message to all the people you care about.


(I JUST DID)


Leptospirosis is an infectious disease that affects humans and animals. It results in a wide range of symptoms, and some people may have no symptoms at all. It is caused by a spiral-shaped bacterium (spirochete). Symptoms include high fever, chills, muscle aches, headache, vomiting, diarrhea, and jaundice (! yellow skin and eyes).



A definitive diagnosis requires laboratory testing of a blood or urine sample. Early detection is important because the disease can cause serious complications if not treated early in its course. These include kidney damage (nephrosis), meningitis (inflammation of the tissue around the brain or spinal cord), resp iratory distress and/or liver failure.

Recently I have been diagonised with lumbar sacral spondylosis of L5-S1 verterbrae. Doctor advised wearing lumbo sacral belt and taking calcium tablets. But I am having severe burning pain in my lower back. Sometimes the pain spread to my left arm and left thigh. While doing excercise or riding two wheeler also I am getting this kind of pain. What should I do? Will it leads to paralysis? What are the treatment options? Anybody working in medical field, please clarify my doubts. (I am already an anxiety patient.)

I must take Prilosec for various GI problems (including GERD) for the rest of my life. When I had an allergic reaction to penicillin in the Spring, I was given Pepcid AC to combat part of the reaction.
I was thinking of alternating days with these two drugs to give me the proton pump inhibitor action, but also the H2 blocker action since I have such bad allergies anyway.
Anyone else done this or those with a medical background think this is a good idea?

i have a head cold, seemingly, and a sore throat. saline nasal lavages help, to a certain point, but i thought i'd ramp up the antibacterial effect (if, in fact, it would be ramping it up). so far, i've had a mildly productive yellow cough/sneeze (though hardly a cough to speak of). i'm a non smoker. i may as well mention headache, seeming fever (i lack a thermometer), and general malaise. for those who'll say, "it's a virus, antibacterials won't help.", i believe i can have a virus and a bacterial infection in my now-better-suited-to-bacteria nose, at the same time. prove me wrong, if you can. bona fides or, er, resumes would be helpful ("mother" counts). other suggestions (beyond the typical, "rest and fluids") appreciated, as well. thanks in advance!

Does it seem to you as if everyone in America wants to be diagnosed with some kind of 'condition'?

I work in a bookstore and in recent years have seen a huge influx of books on medical.psychological conditions, often with the most vaguely defined of symptoms. Fibromyalgia, for one. This idisease's' only defined symptom is that it makes you tired a lot. That seems like it might be a symptom of NOT TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF, not some ill-defined 'disease'. And there has been an explosion of 'disorders' that will make your child disobey, defy authority, have a short attention span etc...you know, NORMAL KID STUFF (and don't even get me started on this 'indigo child' crap). I suppose maybe it is just easier to say you have an illness than it is to take responsibility for you own behavior. This is not intended to offend anyone. If you have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, or if your child has sensory integration disorder mor something, please tell me and explain the situation.

For almost the past 2 weeks, I have had what feels like pressure in my forehead, probably sinus pressure. I feel slightly off balance, startled by sudden movements, and slightly uncoordinated. I'm also experiencing some physical and mental fatigue as well as anxiety. Is this normal with sinus inflammation, or is this more likely some serious neurological disorder?
