For the purposes of this question cancer is excluded. So is HIV (even though it is a virus).

I have been out to the world, but never really in danger.

I am still coming to terms with tinnitus in my right ear - it is early days yet and I will cope eventually. Please someone tell me that they too have muzzy mild headaches with tinnitus as this wories me.. I also have a blocked nose so perhaps this is the cause. The headaches worry me more than the tinnitus at the moment but my doctor doesn't appear worried and has given me nose drops which only work for a short time. I also feel slightly queasy at times. Yesterday the tinnitus was hardly noticeable all day -it was great - but today it feels as if bees are buzzing in the top of my head more than in my ear. Is this usual with tinnitus?

2 weeks ago I found a lump on the right side of my neck about the size of a jelly bean with a smaller lump right below it . Earlier in the week I found a smaller one on my left side. My other symptoms are as follows:

Flank pain on my left side of my abdomen that radiates to my back and sometimes down my left leg that comes and goes.

Itching of my legs for 10 years that flare up from time to time. Rash behind knees and behind thighs (Doc said it was ezcema).

Weight loss-18lbs in 6 months. (Usually only way 120lbs)

I had blood work everything this was normal. I was told I was anemic and my red blood cells count was a little on the low end.

Went for chest x-ray and u/s and will get results next week. I have a feeling that they will be normal as well. I'm goin to ask for a biopsy. Has anyone had these symptoms? If so what was the diagnosis?

They continued after 2 lots of cauterisation and when I went to my GP she said it could be a virus, and could stop as quick as they started, When I thought about it we had had Chicken pox at work with both staff and children, guess what I got, No not Chicken pox but a blooming great cold sore unger my nose, which has left a big scar, so it was a virus and when the cold sore came they stopped. so thanks to you all who answered the first time but now we have another possibility for the cause of nosebleeds.

I'm seeing a girl, and I like her. She has told me she has herpes. She says that if we are safe, I will probably not get it, but there is a chance. I'm wondering if it's worth the risk to be with her. Will I get it? is it really possible that I won't? I like her and all...but...

Should people with coronary heart disease avoid all alcohol? Is red wine is an exception? What would be your advice to some one who has not been taking alcohol all these years? (... except a few glasses of beer / vodka over the years.)

I'm a pretty clean guy, and have had these on the back of my head for over a year now. When I get stressed they get worse but never go away! I've tried tea tree shampoo, washing my hair twice a day, and head and shoulders. I eat healthy and work out 6 days a week. I've gotten no reasonable answers from the medical field either. Any help would be great. They are very painful and embarrassing!
