How angry should you be? First time I get any disease like this, and I'm a male who contracted it from a female through oral sex. When I got upset about it after she told me, she told me to calm down and that I was blowing the situation out of proportion. From a socially casual perspective, what do you think?

I got stung by a bee a week ago on my middle toe. Since that time the top of my foot has been swollen and red and very itchy. I have been applying hydracortisone ointment to the area and taking Benadryl. I also as of yesterday have started soaking my foot in a solution meant to get rid of redness from rashes and insect stings. The redness has since gone away and the itching too but it is still swollen. Also my foot tends to be cold to the touch in the area of the toe involved and the upper foot. I have started to develop hives the past 2 days. Is this normal or is this an allergic reaction to the sting that requires medical attention?

I seem to develop canker sores every four to six months or so in the bottom of my lips, between my lips and my teeth, and it's a pain. Anything I could do about it?

Since half a year ago, I stopped having meat for dinner, say after 5pm. The reason is I don't seem to be able to digest meat after that hour. Trial and error along the way, and I realise that food like bread, fish, and soluble foods are fine, but not for chicken, beef or fruits like jackfruit etc. If I do consume the latter after that hour, I get gastric reflux which I developed years ago. Can anyone identify and relate with the same condition as mine? Someone told me it's got to do with my intestines and it's cancer leading.

And I had 100mg of doxyclycline for 10 days. I had the bulls-eye rash and everything. What are the chances of developing lyme disease? Was that a proper prescription or should I have been on it longer?

ok, knowing that melanoma is the fatal type of skin cancer... does it matter where its found? like with other cancers if its like anywhere near your spine or something then its a lot worse than anywhere else. is it the same with melanoma? does the place of the cancer make it worse or is it just that you have it kinda thing?

I am a insulin dependent diabetic which is bad enough but a few weeks ago i was diagnosed with anemia and because of that my potassium level also dropped which causes terrible muscle cramps. i am usually a very upbeat person but i am finding it hard to cope with all this pain and go to class and work. so does anyone with the same/similar problems want to talk or any other nice person want to talk and help me cheer up?

Hi! I'm fourteen and a freshman in highschool in Los Angeles. I was wondering about surgery. I am having surgery on Sept.7 which is during the high school school scheldule and I will be missing about a week or two from school.

I know this is a little weird but I was wondering if I should ask people to come visit me or is it like the person's obligation to come if It tell them.

Shouldn't they ask me at all when and what time if they can come or am i supposed to tell them

This is my first surgery so i don't know the specifics.

I know I should focus on somethings other than these stupid details. But when I just think about surgery, I can't so I just focus on this.

I gotta keep on laughing and focusing on these stupid things from crying.

Wish me luck

My best friend was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in March. She has just completed numerous rounds of chemotheraphy and is scheduled to begin stem cell replacement procedures at NY Presbyterian Sept 20. Though she completed her last round of chemo more than a month ago and has been on a medication given to diabetes patients with the same symtoms, she suffers from agonizing pain in her feet...burning, pins & needles, hot, then freezing, feeling like sandpaper was scraped against the bottoms of her feet...the medication has done nothing, massages, foot baths do not help...please help me to help her....she can't sleep and a woman that is probably the strongest and bravest that I know has been reduced to tears...HELP!!!!

I read one article about how an artificial enzyme, PAC-1, boosts the tumour cells sensitivity to executioner cells by 2000 times, though it has not yet entered clinical trials, as far as I know. Can you come up with any more details or other promising research in this area?
