Pls enlighten me on Chlamydial and Gonorrheal infection in women.Would it stay in every women's system even after years of being infected from it? Could both be traced in either our urine or blood if we want to?

I quit smoking three days ago, the withdrawal isn't pleasant but it is bearable...but, today, I passed out and have been feeling wasted all day. Checked my BP and it was 84/ 50, HR was 68. (Norm for me is 116/78 HR 90) Question is, did the medication cause the hypotension with the nicotine out of my system?

Last December I underwent a cystoctomy.
Since then I have suffered extremely painful bowel movements, resulting from severe constipation and ensuing fissures. I am much 'easier' now but never completely free of anal pains. I had assumed that this was hemorrhoidal brought about by the straining. Now I am beginning to wonder if it isn't some sort of food allergy. Some days the sphinctre is tender and swollen.............and very painful to pass motions. yet on other days the swelling subsides and the pain far less.
Has anyone else sufferd this problem and can give me an answer as to the cause/cure?

They were swollen a few days ago with the same tight feeling and slight dryness. Now they aren't dry (I've been putting Vasaline on it) nor swollen, but the tight feeling is still there. I keep putting on Vasaline to soothe the tight feeling, but why are my lips feeling this way even if they feel soft?

Or, is there anyone with personal experience of retinal cysts? Friend of mine has retinal cysts, many in the left eye, 1 or 2 in the right eye. Yes, he's lived in various countries in Africa so parasites are potentially to blame. But, if so, which ones? Is there anything other than parasites that it could be? Cited articles preferred – thanks.

I heard that they have to do that so their skin doesn't get ashy. I also hear Robin Quivers mention it on the Howard Stern show. I live in an all white community and to be honest, have only seen a handful of colored people in person.

I'm just curious.

I think that I may have the herpes type 2 virus. For the second time in three months I noticed a bump on my genital that was very painful when I wore close fitting jeans. I stopped having sex altogether because I do not want to affect anyone. I went to a gynocologist, but she told me that she couldn't see anything and for me to come back if I get another one. I am really frustrated and I need to know now! Isn't there a blood test that can be performed to find herpes?

I am thinking about going on Xanax again for severe sleep deprivation ,


I will take LESS than even .25mg the LOWEST dose given I split this in two


Is this a reasonable dose. because I have been on it before and it works just not this low of a dose


But I think less than .25 mg (.12.5 mg) is more than reasonable and very safe

Hi - My father-in-law has an appointment at his GP's tomorrow to get results of tests, apparently they have been on going for sometime but we have only just been told. He has been told that the results are rare and has been advised to bring a close relative along. In your opinion, is this a usual thing to tell a patient? It all seems very dramatic and has caused dad-in-law some obvious concern. Many thanks. x

The other night when I was getting dressed for bed, I noticed what looked like a small mosquito bite on my thigh. I didn't think much about it, despite the fact that it was burning a little. I went to bed and when I woke up the next morning, both thighs, my stomach, my breasts, and upper arms all have these bumps on them. I haven't done much outside, so I know that it is not mosquito bites.

I had chicken pox twice as a child, pretty bad the second time, but this looks like chicken pox again. It may just be an allergic reaction, but it looks like chicken pox and I have had a low fever the past few days.

They are small, red, and some of them have a small dark spot in the middle. Does anyone know what this may be or how I can fix it without a trip to the doctor?

I have tried Benedryl, some prescription allergy medicine, calamine lotion, and oatmeal baths, but the itching will not stop. My mom said maybe chiggers, fleas, or poison ivy, but this doesn't look like any of that to me.

I'm 16. My dad's overweight. But it runs with everyone in my family, this sleepless thing. I don't know what it's called. It's where you literally stop breathing like once every minute when you sleep and even my relatives who are thin and in shape in all other areas have this! When my dad goes to sleep, I feel like I'm about to have a panic attack! But my dad's working on contract and they renew it every 3 to 5 months, so he doesn't get full time benefits. They're using him! He's working as an Accountant 3 [Highest accounting position] and they're being cheapskates by not hiring him with full benefits! Anyway, so we spend an enormous amount on insurance and my dad puts my insurance before his. Also, most men on my dad's side have back problems, even the ones that aren't fat! And my dad's doc. keeps telling him it's because he's overweight! My dad has had this and he hasn't always been overweight and now, he can't stand up in one place for more than 20 or 30 minutes. UGH!
