The rash later clears when i've cooled down. I rarely if ever sweat. My face kinda puffs up when the rash is clearing. This only happens when I feel hot otherwise the rest of the time am okay.

I was diagnosed with ezcema a few years ago. Every now and then my ezcema flares up and I start to itch. However, this has been tolerable with medication and goes away eventually. Recently, I started to notice the skin area around my nostrils peeling. It's very dry and it hurts with a burning pain. It has also started to turn abit white. The docter says it's got nothing to do with the gentle facial wash I'm using and I don't use cosmetics. She says it could be an ezcema flare up but she can't say for sure. I don't think it's an ezcema flare up because it does not itch? Could this be the start of the vitiligo disease for me? This is my biggest fear. Please help!

My doctor diagnosed me with epydidimitis using ultrasound and prescribed Cipro every 12 hours for ten days. I have been taking it for 8 days now and still have pain. I was wondering if anyone has had this before and if so, how long it took before you started feeling better? I am also a little doubtful about the diagnosing of an infection using ultrasound. I'm putting this under STD's but I have been monogamous for 18 years so I highly doubt that's how I contracted this.

I have a friend contaminated with HPV and she have a contact with her husband who happened to be unaware he is a carrier of the disease. They have a contact last july 2006 and it was only this month when my friend was diagnosed to be having genital warts. The warts are very small. Is this a serious disease? How about the carrier? He admitted hiring once a prostitute wayback dec 2004 before their marriage. What is the incubation period to this disease?

It seems to me that prolonging the life of a person with HIV/AIDS only gives that person more time to spread the disease. Is there a program to make sure that the people who are given these drug "cocktails" understand how important it is to be responsible and stuff with regards to spreading the disease? Is there a way to hold them accountable? What about 3rd world countries where the women are having their second or 3rd HIV infected baby, but they are receiving life prolonging drugs. I know it sounds rude and cruel, but I'm trying to understand the benefit vs the drawbacks to society and research.

I was once a heavy drinker in high school, but have since slowed things down VERY much and managed to graduate with 2 high level awards for major and minor and the highest general honors... I feel in control...

BUT--> I still drink pretty heavily 1 night a week, very occasionally 2 since its the only time I get to kick back (weekends)...

Can this lead to alcohol-reliance or severe damage because of my past? Should I be worried?

I plan on stopping when I enter law school next year entirely... Before that, .I'm travelling for a month, and where I'm going I HAVE to enjoy the wine.... After I plan to drink at only weddings and sepcial occasions.. I guess I am just worried about my body.


How much damage could I have done from highschool until college graduation? I've been reading up and its making me... nervous!

I've known people to drink much more, but who knows where THEY'LL be in 20 years!

My mom continues to smoke and also has to take oxygen. Is there any danger of an explosion? How close would she have to be to the tank in order for there to be danger?

About 2 and a half years ago, I developed a pain around my navel (as if it was being pulled from the inside), and a low fever. Over the course of a couple days, it moved to the area of my right kidney, and got REALLY painful. It would hurt with every cough, sneeze, or any sudden movement, I even had to bend a certain way to walk. Then one day, I woke up, and it was just gone, so I thought no more about it. Recently, a friend of mine was complaining of the same symptoms (exactly the same, location, movement, and fever), I told him it was nothing, it'd go away in time. His girlfriend dragged him to the hospital, were he was told his appendix had ruptured. He is now preparing for surgery... I've been told for most of my life that untreated appendicitis is a death sentence, which leads me to 2 possible conclusions. Either my friend was mis-diagnosed, or I somehow DID survive it, with just a couple weeks of blinding pain....

I have been using it for 5 nights now and I don't see any difference, maybe a little bit but not a lot. Some people told me that it's going to take a while until it's going to start working (stop the sweat). Have any of you used it before and if you had how long did it take until it started working?
