I think it is the scabies mite but I am not certain. I think I have Norwegean Scabies which was missed on preliminary investigations a few years ago. Hope to have dx confirmed today and begin tx. Very interesting creatures albeit gross! Damages have been extensive and I feel angry with the doctors, including a dermetologist who played the sores on my scalp down and never did dx or tx. Also a world recognized allergy specialtist wanted to attribute the sores to either stress or my wash out hair colouring! I began researching when I noticed odd little pieces of foreign matter on my rugs walls and counters. I thought perhaps moths or somrthing so I called an exterminator who while we saw no moths did spray my base boards. He suggested I look up case moth and web moth. I began tosearch for moths that ate cocaine which led me to some interesting creatutres but not near as interesting as the ones I have been living with the past couple of months and I believe last year too.

Once you have had a seizure, for how long will the EEG indicate an intraictal area. Will this stay this way forever - even if you never have another seizure? Or, will the area of the brain return to normal? What are the parameters of time that an EEG can indicate a seizure occured?

In January this year - 2006 my CD4 count was 130 from 2 in May last year - 2005 but I went for my second CD4 Test last week Friday and I was called in to my doctors to retake the test this Tuesday 29th August, 2006, because they found it had gone down to 21.
My question is will the B Sample most likely mirror the A Sample and second question is: I feel great, good weight etc, but how will my doctor re prescribe my medication. What should she be re engineering and re prescribing so that my CD4 count goes up again.

Ofcourse I am worried but because I feel great I am just wondering if in the world of AIDS drugs if my time is up or is there still alot of hope. I want to live a healthy life till 80. I mean I look great and very much like a normal human being whose just cruisin and living life to the fullest.

Please answer doctors.

I've been suffering from the illness for more than five years already. Right now my sense of smell does not function. I have consulted so many specialists but not one of them had given me an effective prescription.

I think my husband has narcolepsy. It's unbelievable. After about 1 minute in the car, 5 minutes into a movie, just sitting there talking I'll turn to him (after like 30 seconds) and he's out. He would be totally awake before too. I get so frustrated and impatient. At first I thought he was just tired out or stressed. But even when we're having fun, eating dinner, or he's gotten LOTS of sleep already he'll just pass out. It's sudden too. His head just flops over and he's asleep. And he doesnt remember it either. In fact, a lot of times he thinks I'm lying about it! It's gotten too embarassing to deal with, and I think he might need a doctor. He fell asleep at dinner at a friend's house! The problem is, if he's diagnosed no one will hire him. He won't be able to drive or do most things (even if it doesnt affect him in those situations). Does anyone know about this?? What can I do??

chances of me getting the disease? Is it as strong as on a mother's side? My father's sister and father's mother had breast cancer in mid life. Will I get it or is it only if the mother's side had it? I'm 35 by the way. My mother's side has no history of breast cancer whatsoever.
