Some drs say I have it, some day I don't! How is it determined and what exactly is it? Are you put on medication? I'm a slim, 6' 23 yr old. I had poor eyesight, (had laser since), not so good hearing, loose knee joints, slight sciatic tilt in my spine... Don't know if that helps anyone...

I've been off work 6 times in the year I have been employed, (in the UK), due to either back pain or chest pain. The back pain is due to a slipped disc. Before I took the job, I made my employers fully aware of this. The chest pain is caused by severe anxiety and depression according to my GP. My boss is happy that the time I have off is genuine, however, he's said that anymore time I have off will lead to a formal 'chat'. He's mentioned that I can be dismissed under 'capability procedures'. However, I made the company aware of my back problems before I started.The depression and anxiety were not really a problem at that point. I had it years ago, but it seems to have returned. At work, I have my own specially adjusted chair which some idiot keeps adjusting making my back hurt.I want to call in tomorrow sick and get myself to the Dr as I'm in a great deal of pain.What should I do, and where do I stand as far as being dismissed?I was led to believe depression is a disability?

I have very bad psoriasis in winter but come summer and I manage to get rid of all of them. I go to the pool at least one a week, and bathe in the sea three to four times a week. I found that if I apply Ambra solar on my legs and elbows In a matter of a week or two I get rid of my soreness. I think that the chlorine help as well . The only place that seems to never stop itching is my scalp. No matter how may shampoo I get prescribed nothing seems to work. I wish I could just shave off my hair and expose it to the sun, but I don`t have the courage to do it, and I don`t think my husband will approve.

I have hypothyroid and have been on medication for just about 7 weeks. I am wondering if anyone knows of any reasons for elevated TSH levels other than hypothyroid. Just curious, you know, you get diagnosed and more and more questions start popping up. Thanks!

I went to the doctor cause I thought i had a cold and it turned out to be allergies. They gave me a percription to take. I have NEVER had allergies until now sooo do I have to start taking them everyday? I thought it was like cold medicine you take it when you feel sick. Sorry if this question sounds dumb I've never had to deal with this and I'm about to be 24!

I've had all sorts of tests. and protein levels greater than 500 with varying grades of fever for 4 weeks. Tests have shown this is non bacterial. If ( as I hope) it is viral, how much longer can I expect it to last? I have done my research and am self pay. How long should I wait for more extensive testing? My doctor is out on medical leave and I have clotting disorders. I really am getting tired of explaining my situation to her replacement Dr.s and paying $ I can not afford right now

I was just diagnosed with an abnormal PAP and have the HPV virus on my cervix...Long Story short - had no idea I had this and I have never had warts and my Doctor told me that I dont have the Warts because I have a different type of HPV.

My boyfriend has scheduled an appt with the Doctor to find out if he has it, I was told unless the male has warts (which he doesn't) HPV is not detected in men and their is no way to detect it. Is this correct?

Advil Allergy and Sinus worked a little while for me, but now my allergies are terrible! The other day I was rubbing my eyes and having sneezing fits, and when I came inside from gym my eyes were puffy, pink and bloodshot. I need an allergy medicine that will get rid of a runny nose, itchy eyes, sneezing, and an itchy throat.

My husband recently had a testicular ultrasound done because of pain he was having. The doctor felt a mass and sent him for the ultrasound. They figured that it was an infection, but they called today & said it is not an infection and that the report reads that there is "an area of density" on the right side. They also found a varicocele on the left side, but said it is unrelated to this area of density on the right. He is being sent to see a Urologist on Tuesday. I can't find anything online about density on a testicular ultrasound. This has me worried. Anyone know of this term on ultrasound of the testicles or had this result as well? What was the outcome? Thanks so much.

I was told today that I have an overactive thyroid and that my levels were way off. Also I was told that I have slightly high blood sugar. My doctor asked my symptoms relevant to hyperthyroidism ie, intolerance to heat, heart palpatations, appetite etc which i have some of however I am overweight and have been for quite a few years. I have within the last three months started to exersice and I mean really exercise and strength train. I'm losing inches but only a few pounds. Not only that I have several symptoms of hypothyroidism I think which the doctor didnt ask me about. He has me going for a thyroid scan next week but is there something I am missing? I filled out a sheet with all my symptoms but I feel like he didnt read them. How can I be overweight and have hyperthyroid? Will I gain more weight if I take the meds to correct this?? Help!!!?!?!?

My Uncle is 75 with a collapsed lung and liquid around it. The liquid is too thick to be drained. Pneumonia brought it on. Now he has to have an operation to remove it. Does anyone know anything about this? It sounds pretty bad to me.

I think I have a serious problem. I've been having really REALLY bad bleeding when I poo. I have fresh red blood on the toilet paper when I wipe, there is blood on the stool, and blood in the toilet water. This blood is also accompanied by excruciating pain. I've had this over the last year (it comes and it goes) but lately it just seems to be here to stay (OUCH!!!!). CAN THIS BE CANCER?

I keep thinking that I bumped my head and it left a dent, then I checked the way I sleep, I checked my scalp.
It is painful. One area at a time ,sometimes days go by ; then the pain, flatness, return in another area; when I check the old site and the scalp is back to normal.
No evidence of bug bites or trauma what-so-ever, any idea's?
