I went to the doctor for chest pain and my mom ended up mentioning how another doctor said I had unexplained weight loss (ribs messed up, nothing to do with AIDS). I've got the weight loss, and the doctor is testing me for it to be on the safe side. I really don't have any of the other symptoms as far as I can tell. I mean, I've only had sex twice. One time was with a virgin. So, I, in all likelyhood have nothing to worry about. Nonetheless, I'm kinda sorda worried to death. Also, can normal blood tests pick this up? I've had several of those and nothing ever came up.

i often get a skin problem. the problem is this. suddenly my skin starts itching in some area .previously i had it on my leg .now its my hand.its turns out to be a small boil.its becomes red. and within a day or two the near by places turn out red,where as the main part turns out brown.one day puss forms which would come out and what remains is a hole atleast of 0.2 to 0.5cm deep. when i went to the doctor he said "this often occurs because of the sweat getting into the hair root and so itching occurs and the space which was occupied with that sweat will remain as a hole".
though two different doctors say the same reason,i am not satisfied with that. see even now i have got something similar to it. and i donot sweat often. what shall i do to stop this. the area, turns into a black spot,which i cannot remove at all.what should i do to avoid this problem.any remedies to remove those black spots.

I recently started dating someone. A week ago, he told me that he was getting a cold sore. I met him again yesterday, and he had two big cold sores around his mouth. I didn't know about cold sores much, and we kissed yesterday several times (so his cold sores are a week-old). Today, I did some research on cold sores, and found out it could be very contagious. I've never had any cold sores in my life, and am I going to get it for sure now I've kissed him or is there a possibility that I might not get that? If I'm going to get it for sure, I'd like to meet with a doctor and get the medication before it happens.

I'm really scared now.. Please help!!
Thank you.

Last week I was diagnoised with type II diabetes. I weighed in at 267 pounds. My glucose reading was 230 (normal is 107 or below). Since then I've cut out sugar completely as well as carbs. It will be a little over week tomorrow and my weight is at 252, my sugar count has gone down dramatically. for example, today before dinner it was 108, 2 hrs after it was 128. It's getting lower. I haven't started the blood sugar medication my dr. put me on because I'm afraid it will make it go down really low. Am I really diabetic? My A1C was at a 9.7, normal is below 7. On my present course of weight loss and diet and judging from what I've wrote here, do you think it's possible to reverse the diabetes type II condition? and should i take the medication with the numbers I've mentioned here?
