I was diagnosed in may 2006 and am undergoing chemotherapy with thalidomyde and dexamethazone. My doctor said that is working. If anybody out there knows this disease, please reply! Can I beat it, or at least prolong my life span after the bone marrow transplant? Thanks for answering (hopefully!).

So about a year ago, i got a sliver on my ring finger, and i took out the sliver.. then there was this brown spot there, i thought it would go away, and never did! it is about the size of a bullet in microsoft word! (funny but true). it is not really a perfect circle, but very dark brown, and not a raised spot. what can this be?

I was recently diagnosed with something called Cold Urticaria. Apparently its my body releasing histamine when the temperature is too low...therefore I'm allergic to the cold :(
I live in Canada and winters up here suck...so whenever it gets too cold, any exposed skin breaks out in hives and welts, and it swells....like MASSIVELY! Its quite disgusting! lol
But anyways....I was just wondering if anyone else has this and how they treat it.....I take reactine but its doesnt do much, and this will be my first full winter with this wonderful allergy!

ANY HELP......ANY!!!!!

Ok, the other day, my friend told me that one of our best friends has mono. I hang out with that friend a lot.. so there is a chance i can get it as well. So what happens when you get mono exactly? I know how it is caused and such, but what are the effects on your mind and body?

I was still real angry but ready to let it go until this past week I got a letter informing me that some nurse over my case who worked with my Dr. closely said I should have seen one of the Dr. on call. the doctors I used to go to they did me- like they did some other people hicked me out of their office! all of their offices- at the time I cryed for two weeks The Dr. I saw was not the one to inform me of this desision(they got several big office buildengs and think that when they go to the bathroom they don't stink)! I have another Dr. now and I am satisfied! The local hospital I live in N.C. can't even get it right who my Dr. is even though I have been for test several times that the Doctor I now have ordered(as I have been sick all summer long with the shingles!!! Very painful earlier I had mentioned about the so called EM room doctor yelling at me and calling me a liar-now they send me a form to fill out offering me a 25.00 gift certificate TOP 100 hosp.should be nice!-NO T

I had a full STD test and came back negative for everything except HSV 1 and HSV 2. I knew I had HSV 1 cold sores etc however the HSV 2 blood test came as a shock. The office said that the blood tests only show that I may have come in contact with HSV 1 and 2 not that i necessarily have it.

Anyway - I've had a great deal of itching in the groin/scrotum and the doctor examined and said it was eczema - not an STD. Who do I believe now after the tests came back positive for HSV 2.

My girlfriend has HSV 1 - maybe HSV 2 -- i don't feel like asking her if she has it. Anyone know how reliable the blood test is if I don't have any blisters, puss, warts or pain other than than rash in the groin. I"m on antibiotic cream now - hoping this will go away or am I a Herpes guy for life now...Thanks.

Just a little while ago I noticed some blood on my arm and t-shirt. It wasn't a lot of blood, but after cleaning it up, there was no scratch or wound or anything. I was just wondering if it's possible to bleed through your skin and what this problem is. I've had this happen before, but with only a very very small amount of blood, so I thought nothing of it.
