I've tried scrubs,pumice stone,and lotion I still have the dry sometimes scaly feet on bottoms only.Toenails look fine no cracks or yellowing because I scrub bed of nail with soap and a washcloth in shower and dry well afterwards. What should I use or should I get it checked out by a family doc. to also maybe rule out toenail fungus.

I've always wondered why the most deadly diseases usually have a not-too-efficient means of transmissal. Imagine ebola being air-borne, cancer being transmitted by body contact or AIDS being air-borne.

What do you think the situation would be like if these diseases suddenly mutate to include the above means of transmissal.

I'm just wondering what YOUR experience was, how PT was and what you did for the excruciating pain. Narcotics and NSAIDS do not work. Not even Morphine. I'm taking dilaudid now and it takes the edge off ever so slightly but it does help. I'm in CONSTANT pain and I just don't know what to do. Neither do the PT people or my nurse (at home health care). Any thoughts, comments, or suggestions? I'd appreciate any insight to this that anyone may have. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi im 16 nd my monthly sugars hav been on the rise 4 the past year(approx) my last Hba1c was 10.1 i do realise this is high but i still eat sweet things as a rebellion to my illness. I have told my doctor this and he said I cant change it so I have to cut out the snacks. Im still rebelling against the diet I am set and have recently stopped taking my doses of novo-rapaid as i cant see any difference to when i take it as I have stopped taking my BMs and developed an excess amount of fat where i take my injections on my stomach around 2yrs ago. My doctor said it would heal/go away with time but it hasent. Can anybody help me regain control and stop rebelling against my regime.

I have 3 craters in them big enough to stick my thumb in and they fill with what looks like cottage cheese but its just alot of white blood cells or at least thats what the doctor says. I have only been seeing my family doctor about them, and he always says that theres not enough of them to remove. I had to go to internet schooling because I was missing so much school over them. Last year I was sick over them 11 times and everytime i get sick with them even with a penicellian shot it takes 6-11 days for me to get better. Any suggestions on what I should do?

Wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to get sick after having a tb test. My daughter and I decided to volunteer at our local nursing home and were required to take a tb test. 3 days after we both became ill with naseua and fever, but our test came back negative. Could this be a side effect from the test, or just plain luck?

I've had Genital Herpes for over a year now. I'm an eighteen year old attractive female.. Though Genital Herpes could be described as the least of my problems.. though it was such a lovely present.. after I found out I became bedridden for over a month.. basically numb and a vegetable. I was employed but became very sick at work since I was misdiagnosed, then you guessed it, I became unemployed. I've had a few jobs after that and eventually I dropped out of high school. Though sometimes it isn't too heavy on my mind other times it is bringing me down. I've been to counseling and been on medication and I understand other people out there have it much worse. I've attempted suicide more than once.. I have a lot to offer and I've been accepted by men even with the lovely present but I still feel as though I am worthless, now unattractive, and dirty. I feel everything I have to offer means nothing and life is meaningless. Anyone experience similar feelings after contracting the disease?

I cant stand anymore, my life is a mess, I am having many problems at work, I have no money at all, I am trying to lose weight and in a month I could only lose 2 pounds, I want to cry all the time, looking for help in my family is hopeless and I dont have any friends.
Not losing weight is what really makes me feel bad, I want to reach 110 pounds to October 30th (my birthday) I have 120 now, I dont know what to do... I dont eat much but when I eat something I know it wouldnt help me to lose weigh I feel terrible and sometimes I cry, I tried to throw up but I cant! I dont know if that is a good or bad thing anymore, I feel that I am behaving like a stupid teenager and I am 25!!

I gave him an STD. Funny thing is - I never slept with him. Do you think he got me confused with his other girlfriend?

My daughter's nails look almost like she smashed them, but she didn't. It's only on about 5 of her fingernails. Up towards the cuticle, it's torn horizontally about halfway through her nail. The beginning of the tear, it looks like someone cut a chunk out, but only on some of them, and from there down it's lifted from the skin. Almost as if it snagged on something, and didn't tear all the way off, but it's still connected at both the sides, and also at the tip of the nail. The color of her nail is normal, and the shape and texture is also good(other than the tear).

Does anyone know what this could be caused from? And if so, how can I treat it at home?
