The Doctor said he has an infection. he has swollen lymph glands in his throat for over 3 weeks, rashes on his elbow, has headaches occassionally, has thrush but he has been on antibiotics for over 3 weeks. and sometimes has fever. took the antibody test at day 50 and it came out negative his urinalysis came out with protein in it but it had no growth due to his antibiotics. They are testing him for syphilis also what do you suggest. He is so scared it might be HIV. could it just be another STD because doctors are telling him not to worry about HIV

I have been a diabetic for 40+ years. Type l. Recently, though, I have been swelling alot, and Demedex that is prescribed for fluid is not working like it use to. My Dr. says swelling is normal, as we get older, but sometimes I can hardly get my shoes on or off. What's up? Does anyone know what to look for in kidney slow down or failure? Have you experienced this?

I have been having this itchy problem on my scrotum for a couple of months now and is desperate to break out of the vicious itch and scatch cycle. My scrotum has this whiteish patch with small bumps and pimples like spots that is very itchy, whenever i scratch it, there will be some sort of flaking of some whiteish dirt from the skin. The scrotum skin will also thicken after scatching.

I have suspect it could be Eczema and have been applying the Egoderm Cream every night before i sleep and using the Pinetarsol Bar to wash the area but the itch is still persistent.

Help!

I noticed my daughter scratching her head tonight and decided to check it and what do you know,i found eggs..Her and her sister had it back in July and it took me about 3 weeks to get rid of it.After that i would try to check there hair every week.I have tried alot of stuff and none of it worked.I cleaned every inch of my house,washed everything for those 3 weeks in hot water.I tried all kind of shampoos and everything.Right now i am sooo stressed out that they got it again that i am really thinking about home schooling them and not letting them play with anyone..Thats how sick of this i am.....Well if you are wondering how i did get rid of it the last time was just by combing and picking combing and picking...This is so tiring....What should i do to prevent them from getting it again...Do i have to move away? Take them out of school? WHAT???
