I've been breaking out in these huge bumps that turn into blisters after being in the sun. Thing is, this never happened until about a decade ago. Within the last 10 years I've been getting huge bumps that are so bad I look like I have a disease or something. Never been one to freak over global warming but something is weird.

I have a kidney infection and I am on Cipro for the antibiotics. I haven't had a period in 8 weeks now and I am NOT pregnant according to ultrasound, blood tests, and pg tests. I went to the ER today again for the second time about this and they said to continue taking the Cipro since my urine and blood tests all look good. I am now having shakes and chills, however, no fever or high blood pressure according to the doctors earlier. Why is my period so damn late and why am I still very ill after 5 days of antibiotics and a clean test??

My husband's cardiologist wants him to have a nuclear stress test once a year for the rest of his life. He is 53. I have heard that they can be dangerous. Is this really necessary? Is there a better test for the heart?

I know it was a stupid move, but now recently I am scared of what may happen. The partner I chose said they did not have anything wrong with them, because they had to go to surgery and was tested at the same time, and even offered proof to me.
But yet I have a feeling that I need to be tested, what should I do?

I just turned 18 years old and saw a pediatric endo two years ago. I have always had short stature throughout life but part was blamed on my bone age being behind. I was continuously monitored and saw different doctors. I since moved away from my old pediatric endocrinologist who told me to come back in a year. Its now two years and i was wondering if I should go to a ped endo or a regular endo. Wouldn't a pediatric endo have more expearience with short stature? Problem is, its really hard to get an appointment with pediatric endocrinologist and cant get one until November. Opinions please!

There was a piece of graphite lead from a mechanical pencil hidden in the carpet at my house. I put my foot on it, and it must have been turned vertically because it punctured the bottom of my foot. It was a very sharp piece, and that is what is was because after i pulled it out i tested it and i could write with it and easily broke it in half. I put some peroxide on the entry spot (my stepdad told me to do this, he was the only other one home at the time). Do I need to take any further precautions other that keeping the entry site covered until it completely heals over? I dont know if you can get tetanus from graphite that wasnt exposed to rainwater, or from any graphite at all for that matter. At any rate, my last tetanus shot was exactly 5 years ago.

Ok I have had liver function test results from my Doctor, they showed an elevated liver enzyme level. I have been taking paracetamol for the past few days due to having a very bad cold, could this be the cause. I was also told I have high levels of calcium, whilst these results are elevated they are not dangerously high.
I am just trying to get an idea as to what is causing this. I can rule out alcohol as I don't drink.
I would be grateful for any advice Thanks.
Mark
