ive been prescribed metronidazole by my GP and im not allowed to drink whist taking them. its not your usual 'avoid alcohol' as found on most medicines.apparently it will make me violently sick and give me diarrhoea. although it could aid some fantastic wieght-loss, its a bit grim. anyone else taken these tablets and suffered their side effects? or any tips on how to cope over the weekend?

the one that works best for me is dovobet, they say dont use it for long periods but i have been useing it for several years, using it three or four times a week. the best thing is the cream doesnt stain. i have been able to wear short sleeved shirts for a few years now and also go swiming. i would like to know why they say dont use it, apart from thining the skin what else is it supposed to do. my doctor never told me only to use for a short period of time, but then again like what a few people have mentioned, they don't seem to want to know.

in the past four years, i have only "sunbathed" twice, each time resulting in a terribly painful, red, and blistering sunburn. my skin is naturally very pale, but i rarely spend large quantities of time in the sun, during which i NEVER tan. is it possible from only two bad sunburns, and at my age (22), that i have developed skin cancer?

My Father has just begun to develop shingles, I have spent the last 2 days staying with him.

I have had shingles myself 12 months ago. I am staying with freinds this weekend who have young kids, is it possible that I could pass on this virus to them in the form of "chicken pox".

My sister is 62 yrs. old , she has Diabetis, High Blood Pressure, Parkinsons, obesity and 2 mos. ago she suffered a Hairline Fracture to her left knee. Prior to this she had a Masectomy in 97. She has been in remission since then but has had chemo/radiation and is down to chemo once per month. It turns out she has Sleep Apnea and is given breathing treatments. Her lungs are small, stiff and scared. Xrays were taken one week ago only to find fluid in her lungs. It is blood/clots. A tubing the size of a cathether was inserted into her left lung and has been draining blood over 400 cc per day. She's down to 300cc per day. An Antibiotic was injected 2 times into the tubing to go into the lung which was very painful. It's to heal the lung and hopefully stop the bleeding. A white fluid was coming out when they took off the clamp but the bleeding/clots returned. The Dr. wants to give her a 3rd treatment. She has Stage 4 cancer. How bad is this? What are her chances of survival?

Hello I am almost 100% sure about a month and a half ago I suffered from a panic attack in the middle of the night! I think it maybe happening again but I don't know I can get it to calm down kinda but not go away. My heart is beating pretty hard and fast. My pulse is about 112times a minutes. Is this okay?? My chest and arms feel hot and cold sometimes and I feel a little disoriented and out of body and a little shaky I am tired but again it is almost 2 in the am i feel a little nausea every now and then. During the day sometimes I get short of breath and my heart starts to beat hard but I just sit down for a bit and breath if I dwell on it its seems to beat harder. Normally during the day it goes away because I am at work and am otherwise occupied. I do suffer from anxiety and my job has been stressing me out alot lately!! Am is just suffering from anxiety and panic or should I see a doctor about my heart?? I am only 22 years old thanks.

Hello! I suffer from a neurological problem (yet to be diagnose)... I suffer from neuropathy (aka nerve pain all over my body), numbness, tingling sensations, headache on/off, dizziness on/off, blurred vision on/off, carpal tunnel, lower back problem, problem concentrating, and weakness on my entire left side... Last week, the weakness became worse, so I went to the Emergency Department (ER) at the hospital I have my neurologist... After blood drawn, CT-Scan, and MRI done... They said, nothing as changed... Mine I have a doctor appointment in September 2007.

My question is this: Since my appointment is in September, how come my neurologist wants to see me in July, instead of September, could he have seen some in those tests that ER couldn't tell me?

Please I don't need wise crack jokes or nonesense stuff put up. I will personally rate you either up or down!

Thanks!

It continues to reappear on different parts of my skin. It has been like this for 2 years. It seems to be getting worst. I usually get them on my back. It is usually just one at a time. What should I do?

I have only had sex once. Yes it was un-protected but it wasnt by choice we were both wasted.

But this stuff Im about to tell you has happened before I even had sex. For some strange reason, maybe once a year if that, I get bumps under the skin on my vagina. They are the size of a pea and hard and when I push on it, it hurts, but nothing too painful. Occasionally I'll get one outside of the skin that is blood colored. When they come, it's usually about two or three of them. Like I said they dont come that often, and they arent painful.

I don't think this is normal. I am in a serious relationship now but I dont want to have sex with this guy until I know for sure what it is. I have a Dr. appointment in two months.

Should I be concerned? What do you think it might be? My friend seems to think it's an STD, but I dont see how if I was getting this before having sex.

Any advice would be great. Please dont be rude and hateful in my asking this question. I came here for help. Thank you.
