im am currently using erythromycin benzoyl peroxide

the problem was is that i cant wear it in the morning cause the solution is chunky
so when i put it on it looks like i was playing with glue on my hand and put it on my face
so i cant go outside with it on

im wodering if its sopose to be chunkie
i cant blend it to my skin to make it disapear it just stays on like that
all chunky on my face


also the worst part is that i was not told to put this in the fridge and i didnt read the instruction when i got it i just simply opened it and closed it and put it away the next day i read the instructions on how to aply and i had to mix the ingredients( it had no pouder to mix it looked mixed already i mixed it up it stayed looking chunkie and i put it on the fridge

so is it sopose to be chunky?
is my solution messed up?
can i go back to the pharmacy and ask them if they can switch it

I was diagnosed with IBS over 20 yrs ago and it has steadily become worse to the point that i have no control over my bowels and have constant diaorhea which leaves me in extreme pain for hours.on end. I can no longer go out and am a prisoner in my own home.
I have had numerous blood tests, scans, cameras etc over past 2 yrs but nothing obvious can be found. Have been told that there is nothing else i can do but live with it. Anything anyone can come up with would be appreciated as its affecting my life so much that i no longer seem able to do anything.

my throat doesnt hurt yet ... but feels like it could possibly be a tiny tiny bit irritated... Lymph nodes arent swollen, but my tonsils have gotten a tiny bit of a change ... Could this be the beginning of strep? My room mate is already about to be all better and has had it for about a week..

The whiteheads are easy to handle, but what do to about the pimples that are under your skin? I get them sometimes and they take forever to go away. Putting acne treatment on them seems pointless since the medication is sitting on top of this 'bump'. I know popping them is a bad idea, and with these, there's really nothing to "pop" because it doesnt appear to have a visible pore. ( I have proactiv and use it regularly.)

I think i may have Anal Warts.

I have had warts on my hands, and they seem to resemble what i now have around my rectum.

I am sexually active, but monogamous for over 7 months. My partner is 100% clean as far as i am aware.

They are getting slightly larger with time (noticed for about 3 months now) and seem to be spreading within the area. They are small and slightly red in color.

I WILL be going to the doctor...so please don't say 'you just need to go see a doctor'...i know, i would just like to see what the yahoo community thinks first.

PLEASE HELP!

For about three years, I would go on a binge of about two months on and 4-6 months off. The two months on would be almost every day, about 1/3 of a gram a day give or take. For the first couple years all was fine, then lately I began to feel like crap. Sometimes my chest feels tight, brain feels heavy, or theres a little sharp pain behind my sternum. It doesn't feel like my heart but it's the same area and that can't be good. Lungs perhaps? but anyway...

I didn't do it for the last 7 months, then I did just a little the other day. I felt like crap, and said the heck with this. I don't want to die or damage my body. I definitely feel better as the days go on and that 7 month mark gets longer.

I am 28 and pretty healthy. Is it possible I damaged something? Is there a medicine or vitamin I can take to help my body? Should I go to the doctor and get an MRI or cat-scan for more details, or am I young enough that quitting should fix me? thanks

I have 'low thyroid' ... I recently read on-line that dairy products can have an affect on the supplements I take, but I couldn't find out more. I know I could do a search, but want to hear from others like me as to their experiences with dairy and supplements, too.

Hello.
My sisiter-in-law is a heavy smoker and smokes heavily in the house. She has 3 small children.
My nieces and nephew are CONSTANTLY getting respiratory problems, (i.e colds, bronchitis, sinus infections) and my nephew has asthma. He has to take breathing treatments and sometimes it gets really bad.
When the kids are sick, she continues to smoke in the house and seems to have no regard for them, or even realise that if she didn't do that, they may not get sick as much, not to mention, the smoking indoors isn't helping when they ARE sick!
I want to talk to her. I don't want to tell her to quit, as I know she never will. But I do want to suggest she smoke outside instead, ESPECIALLY when they are sick (as they are currently)
We live in Florida. It's not that hard to do.
The only thing is, I am so afraid she is going to get angry with me or defensive, and I don't want that.
But, I care greatly about my nephew and nieces.
PLEASE HELP!
How do I do this????
This has to stop!

For the last few days I've had a dry irritating cough and feeling a bit croaky, but otherwise not too unwell. Woke up this morning and nothing came out of my mouth. Worked through the morning and fortunately did not have to speak to anyone as I was on my own. Picked my daughter up from nursery and there was still no voice other than this pathetic squeak. My daughter was really upset and said I was scaring her. Anyway, came home, had lunch and closed my eyes for 10 minutes (I work evenings till late, I'm not just bone idle) and when I woke up, hey presto, the voice is back! It's a bit gravelly and deep, but definitely there. What happened to it this morning!?!?

I had a cold and have been coughing for over a month now - I haven't had any cold symptoms for ages now.
Last year I was coughing for about 3 month and I normally Do that every winter (I am renowned for it!)
I had investigations last year chest x ray camera down nose etc but nothing was found. They tried asthma in halers with no sucsess.
I am so fed up with it. I cough so much I am sick/nearly sick. I cough and acid comes up - then feel sick.
Could it be the acid that is making me cough not the coughing brining up the acid?
Or could it be aything else - has anyone else experienced this?
Before you tell me to go to the Doc's I am going this afternoon!

I was over 400 about month ago and I've been trying to lower it naturally. I cant afford medical help so I've been doing it all on my own. My sugars are down and I was wondering if this number was okay. Its a waking glucose number.
