I've recently moved into a new house and am trying to figure out what could've caused a rash to break out all over my body. We have a pool that seems to be heavily chlorinated but several of my friends have gone swimming and I'm the only one to break out. Could this be caused by the chlorine or maybe the chemicals from the carpet cleaner in the house??? The rash is on my neck, chest, stomach, and on the backs of my legs and it ITCHES. Thanks for your help!

I've been sick for a week now and have been coughing a little bit. Nothing too bad. Tonight, I can NOT stop coughing. It's 1AM and I can't get to sleep because the second I lay down I start coughing every 10-15 seconds or so. Is there anything I can do to get rid of this, even if its just temporary?

my live-in boyfriend of 2 years has diagnosed with cancer 4 months ago, he is under treatement now, seems to be successful, however the doctor said he may not live pass 10 years as cancer can come back even after remission. We are both 27 years old, I am very scared to witness him 'dying' one day, I am not strong enough to go thru this. Its not that i don't love him, maybe i love him too much, i can't handle his death one day, should i leave or stay? he has a family who could take care of him, also he eats crappy food and doesn't exercise which doesn't help his health

has anyone ever opted for something bigger than the standard strainer your doctor has given you? When I had my attack, I had 2 stones & passed one there at the hospital. the strainer that they gave me wasnt that wide & when I aimed my Johnson at strainer & pissed it out, I almost missed the strainer. When I was ready to pass the 2nd stone a day later,I made my own strainer. I bought a good sized wire mesh food strainer & lined it with coffee filters. I found it easier to pass the stone into a larger strainer & not worrying about missing and landing in the toilet, since the 2nd stone did "pop" out because I had to put force on to get it out.

I have a rash or fungus of some type that only appears in these areas. I didn't develop this until after the tanning bed. I have a friend who had it that is black though and he told me to use head and shoulders. This worked only for a short time. It gets worse during summer, but always itches and is there even in winter just not as visible. If I could just gets some possible diagnosis I will research myself. Thanks.

I was not feeling well earlier this week and went the doctor...during my exam, I experienced pain and tenderness in the lower right quadrant of my abdomen. To rule out appendicitis, I had a CT on my ab and pelvis. I should have the results Monday or Tuesday.

I have never heard of anyone needing surgery until they were in major pain; has this ever happened to you or anyone you know?

I have bad back problems, in the last year I have used the following meds for pain: all strengths of lortab, vicodin, & percocet. darvocet, demerol (sp?), morphine 30mg, oxycontin 40mg. then for muscle relaxers: valium 10mg, soma, robaxin (sp?), flexril (sp?), and skelaxin (sp?). So far oxycontin 40mg has worked the best, but it's still not anything great & super expensive...it's just better than the other painkillers ive tried. as far as muscle spasms Soma is the keeper, i'm happy eventhough my insurance wont even cover it. i've had issues with my insurance covering anything above percocet so im weary of trying expensive meds that i might be wasting hundreds of $ on. my Dr just recommended i try duragestic patch 50, vicodin for breakthrough pain and Soma. i am not familiar with the patch at all and am looking for info from people who have used it, not just the general info i've found on the 'net. I'd appreciate any help at all.

I've heard the warning repeated so many times, "Practice safe sex!!" but I don't think I've ever had anyone officially define the term.

So, what exactly is "safe sex?" I just started becoming sexually active last night, I'm in a completley monogamous relationship with my g/f who I've dated for 2 months, and she's taking the birth control pill. Would you classify this as safe sex?

Thanks

I'm wondering if this is a sign that my skin is clearing itself out, or that I am making my skin worse? It's mainly ALL blackheads and whiteheads. I use an exfoliant and daily cleanser, but I am terribly oily and use powder often throughout the day to stay matte.

I am a diabetic of 37 years, and used needles for 34 of those years. I now have scar tissue in arms, and legs, and wondered if it can be removed, or somehow reduce the enlarged areas?

They have gone down considerably, and are not quite as tough, after not doing shots for 2 years now..... (using a pump now)
