Diseases & Conditions - 21 September 2006

I have this severe itch that has lasted a few months off and on which starts at the top of my head and goes to my feet. I see no rash except I do see some little red dots or little red bumps in the palms of my hands.Sometimes I feel as though something is crawling on me or sometimes I feel as though I cannot keep my arms and legs still. I cannot sleep because of this. It is worse at night but I do occassionally have it during the day (like right now). it's the kind of itch that you scratch but cannot ever relieve. I have tried everything.....creams, moisterizers...bath and body stuff....sometimes it helps and sometimes it makes it worse. I also itch up my butt and up my front ears..everywere. The itching feels like a prickley itch and feels like i have a very mild sunburn. I just don't know what to do about this or even what this is. I just know that I need to get some sleep! Please help me.it gets so much worse after drinking alcohol,i have had liver tested & it's fine! help please!!!

I went to an Ear, Nose and throat specialist yesterday and was told that I have severe tonsilitis (or strep, they're not sure yet), to the point of necrosis, and a warning that I need to have my tonsils removed SOON! So she gave me an antibiotic shot and sent me home with prescriptions for Augmentin and Prednisone. My temp was running between 99.1 and 102.3 before starting the Prednisone, now it is staying between 97.1 and 98.1. Is this normal? I'll call the doctor when her office opens, I was just wondering if anyone her had any similar things hapen. Also, has anyone here had their tonsils removed as an adult? Was it bad?

I don't *feel* constipated, but think I surely must be, as I haven't had a 'good' BM all week. I have awful smelling gas, and my stomach is gurgling and churning. I feel very full, and cannot bear to drink anymore water. I also have some discomfort in my (mostly lower) left side. Should I try a laxative or Milk of Magnesia, or maybe an enima? Help!

I found protein in my urine test ( 1+ ). I know I had overworked, teaching 8 periods of classes each day. Every day at the last two classes, I was too thirsty to continue speaking and had to drink a great amount of water. I became very nervous. My question is whether being nevervous can cause proteinurine ?

I was bitten on the leg at rugby training on Tuesday and the bite has swollen up, almost half my leg is red and it's hot! (I've been told by a friend it's probably a horsefly bite!)

What products can you recommend to stop the itching and reduce the swelling?

(I've got some incect repellent, so it wont happen again!)

I have a friend who is very sick of cancer and the doctors said that she does not have any hope of recovering. I want to buy her flowers and write a message for her.
