I've been sick now for two months, off and on. I've had sore throats, ear infections (both ears), low grade fever, small headaches, and burning eyes (to the point they will water non stop). My nose gets so stuffy to the point i feel like i can't breathe. I've also been having anxious and irritable feelings, but i'm happy all the time still. I only get sad every once in awhile for no reason, but it only lasts for about 5 minutes and then i'm happy ol' me again. I know i don't have depression becacause i can't stand to iscolate myself, and i love being around my family/boyfriend as much as possible. The anxious/irritable feeling all started at the same time i started feeling sick. We have mold growing in our house on the ceilings and walls in some rooms, could this be causing my sickness? I've heard of toxic mold syndrome. I got checked for a bad thyroid, and no problems there, so that's out of the question.. and i don't have allergies.

I have red blotches, some small, some 1/2 way up my legs. On top of my feet around toes, and around my ankles. It looks like broken blood vessels have popped and the blood is oozing under the skin.

My husband has these pea sized bumps on the back of his head, right along his hairline near his neck. Sometimes they really bother him and sometimes they don't. I have been plucking the hairs out of them (sometimes there are 7-8 hairs in one pore), then sqeezing the puss/blood out and putting peroxide on them, but they don't seem to ever go away. Does anyone know what they are or a better way to get rid of them??

does a mamogram show or tell what the irregularity is or is it just to show there is something to be further tested.

I have a friend who says you can still get genital herpes from someone who has it even if you are using protection. I thought if this was true then there would be even more ppl with the virus. Can this happen? and if there is a chance of this happening what are the chances of getting it when using protection?

I had a staph infection on my neck in April and recently developed another one on my stomach. It is nearly cleared up, but now I'm developing another one on my leg. Everyone at work is saying it is because I am stressed out that I keep getting them. I am a first grade teacher and the class I have this year is my worst yet. I've had 23 instances of new students or children moving. Of 20 students, only 6 have been with me the entire year. It is also close to the end of the school year so I have a lot of paper work to deal with, I'm getting married next month and having family and financial issues. Could all this be causing me to get staph infections? I've never had them before. Thanks for you help!

Though I have a hx of high cholesterol (i.e. in the 200s), after diet, exercise, supplements, and finally a prescribed statin, my cholesterol is down. However, will any accumulated cholesterol plaque in my arteries now eventually be absorbed or otherwise disappear over time...or am I stuck with it for life?

I know the common sense answer but if I were asking you as the married couple "Can you please get tested before we have sex so we all feel safe?" Would you give a bad reaction to me or would you not mind it and go ahead and do it?

I have deduced that the reason my mother becomes extremely dizzy upon moving her head while lying down is due to this form of vertigo. But another symptom I cannot work out is why she gets dizzy when she eats something. I understand that because she has pressure right under her ears, it is a definite vertigo problem, but do possible ulcers have a connection with dizziness? We have an appt. with an ENT doctor, but, for current ease, do any of you know cures or methods to fix this condition?
Thank you so much.

I made my choice in cancer treatment. What would yours be? Would you choose to "possibly" prolong your life but feel bad all the time...like extreme fatigue and nausea? Or would you say enough is enough and take your chances cause you're finally feeling better and just enjoy whatever time you get?
