I will be travelling to London soon to study there. I have Lupus and was wondering how well equipped is the NHS to help patients with Lupus? What about the medications? Some acquaintance suggested that you only have to pay a maximum of 6 pounds per prescription? Does NHS recall patients with Lupus for regular checkups?

Theaters keep track of the number of drinks sold and therefore how much money should be on hand by counting the paper cups not sold. Employees HAVE been caught picking up used cups from the floor and selling drinks in them again, so they can pocket the money. The cash register's money will be correct acording to the number of cups remaining. (Theater concession employees will tell you that the cup count is why they must charge full drink price for water or an empty cup.)

Hi a few weeks back I took a bottle of drink out of my back pocket to find what might have been someone elses plaster from a drink bottle I had just bought on the bottom of it...might have been my plaster that I had put in my back pocket before. But that seems unlikely as surly it would have lost its stick after going in the wash, plus I hadn't worn them in ages so seems unlikly they would be able to stick to a bottle?

Anyway the trousers have been washed and I have been wearing them again, is that ok to do?

My son stepped on a rusty nail and did not tell me until the next day I took him straight to the doctors who told me it was too late for a tetanus injection so gave him antibiotics. That was last Wednesday. He seems fine today (Saturday) should I be worried ?

My husband, who is 58, has had good check ups but is worried he will die soon - or atleast before or shortly after he retires at 62. He is about 30+lbs overweight. But other wise healthy, although he does not exercise.

I am nearsighted. Before when I look at my kitchen lights from the living room they were a little blurry but nothing extremely bad. However, recently like tonight, I noticed I am seeing triple the lights. Like lightbulbs on the ceiling I am seeing triple/quadruple of them. Also the lights look blurry and resemble big blobs. I am worried because last month I could see the lights fine but now it has gotten ten times worse. How can my eyesight deteriorate so rapidly?

I have been taking birth control (Zovia) since November of last year. I take it every day same time as prescribed, at first I did not have any side effects whatsoever, but for the past few months I have been getting rashes almost daily. This is the only medication I take and the only thing I can think of that may be causing this issue. The 'rashes' are bumps that show up in itchy red patches on my arms, legs, back, stomach and neck that I do my best not to scratch. I know that there are warnings about taking oral contraseptives when using tanning beds because it can cause skin irritation - since it is now summer and getting hotter (I live in AZ) could this be the reason they began - if it is due to the birth control - so late after beginning them?
If not, any other ideas what it may be?

its a very funny incident. i was very scared of needles n injections that doctors use.when i was just 8 yr old, my mom took me to doctor for injection. i was not aware of that, but when i came to knew that i started shouting very loudly
it was impossible for doctor to give me injection, so my mom had to clamp her hand on my mouth to smother my screams. she kept her hand tightly pressed on my mouth until doctor was finished with his job.if she wouldnt had covered my mouth, i would have created a scene out there coz i was screaming really hard.this incident really makes me laugh till now
and what more, it was winter season that time and my mom was wearing thick skin tight leather gloves.
.thank god i didnt had a blocked nose that day.do u think that my mom did the right thing at that moment? n why? i know i m asking it again,but i dont have anything else to ask. so i m reposting it,hoping to get answers from those who havnt read it.i really cant get any other question to ask.

The boil is on my neck and it is not nearly as painful as it was a few days ago. I have tried putting a little bit of toothpaste on it because I was told that this would help bring it to a head I have also been putting a hot wash cloth on it for several minutes at a time every few hours. Nether of these thighs has worked so far. I have had it for almost a week. I can't go to the doctor right now and I can't afford boil ease right now. I would like it to be gone before I go on a trip in a few weeks

I went to see a doctor about my body acne and he said it would clear up when I'm 18. I don't believe him since 20-30 year olds walk around with pimples on their face. I don't know if they're the same thing though.
Will it clear up or is it on me for life?

I started using a cleanser and toner to combat blackheads, but it has tightened my pores way to much on my cheek/jaw on one side of my face. Now there are really deep pimples there and it is really bumpy, it is almost like a rash apart from the fact they are pimples. How do I loosen these pores and make my face smooth again?

I have been having episodes of difficulty breathing and dizziness about twice a month for the past year. They only last about 20 minutes and seem to be more frequent in the fall and the summer. My doctor tested me for athsma; there was nothing wrong with my lungs. Then she gave me a perscription for Xanax, thinking I may be having panic attacks, and that didn't do much.
Today I had an episode, and thinking it might be low blood pressure, I decided to use a blood pressure monitor to check. After a few readings on both arms, standing, sitting and laying down, my average blood pressure was about 150/105. (I used the monitor on my boyfriend and it said his pressure was normal, so I don't think it was a misreading.)
I am pretty young to be having any problems with my blood pressure, and usually my readings are fairly normal.
What could be causing all these symptoms together for short periods of time if it's not anxiety?
