My skin test swelled up like a mother of a mosquito bite, but the x-ray was okay and they cleared me to work.

Still, is there anything I should be watching out for or doing? Is there a chance I could put other people at risk? How likely is it that it will turn into the harmful form of TB?

8 days ago i ate 6 tylenol 500 mg and the next day had six drinks. i had soreness in my liver by the end of the night on the tylenol 500 mg. i am 19 years old and have used drugs recreationally which have caused the same pain-tightness-bloatedness in my right abdominal area (painkillers- acetaminophen, cocaine, ecstasy), though it did not last more than 24 hours. i have now had pain in my liver for about 8 days and it seems to have gotten higher in my stomach, and stronger in the past two or three days. i have played intense basketball (i won but felt as if and used adhd medication (provigil)since hurting it. i am trying to see a doctor, but cant get an appointment for a few days, and would like to avoid the ER (pain in the ***) if possible. No noticable fever or jaundice. ive been drinking lots of water, - the first few days of pain (5) no matter how much water i drank my urine was dark (within the normal dark range though). should i go to the ER now, or can i wait a couple days?

Yes I know better than to pop a pimple and I usually don't but I made and mistake a popped one and I have ended up with a small red and dry patch of skin on my face? I think it is because when I popped it some of the skin got peeled off and it could be trying to heal or create new skin.
Is there anything I can do to speed up the healing process or get rid of it, or to help reduce the chances of it leaving a scar?

My granddaughter is not feeling well. She is 12 and just says she doesn't feel good. She is having vague aches and pains, headaches, extreme fatigue, and often just seems "out of it." I remember reading recently about something like that going around in kids, but I can't remember the details or where I read it. Anyone know anything about this?

For the past week I've been feeling real lightheaded and dizzy, even when I'm sitting. I'm also having numbness in my arms. Has anyone with Lupus felt like this before? I hadn't. I've had Lupus for about 4 years.

For the last three days I am experiencing a very uncomfortable pain during urination. It feels as if the urinary pore is being spasmodically forced closed everytime some urine is on the way out. I dont know if this is a correct analogy, but it feels like the discomfort during peeing immediately after an orgasm, only 5 times more intense and painful too. Also i always feel like i need to urinate, and any pressure on the lower abdomen, or even on the upper wall of the vagina during sex, intensifies this urge to urinate. However my urine is clear, and looks and smells quite normal. The pain however has increased with each day. Do i have an Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)? Please help.

I was diagnosed with scabies today, my family was given medication to use as well. I'm just curious, should we vacuum the floor and furniture and things like that, and if so should we do it before or after we put on the medication?
Also, could washing our clothes before putting on the medication make them more likely to still contain the mites?
The medication I was given was Permethrin, the doctor and the pharmacy informed me that I would only need to use it once.

cortisone raises blood sugars and mine have been in the 300's all week. I got the shot on Monday, july 9th and it is now the 12th.

i can bring it down with extra insulin, but it raises itself again in a few hours.

Any idea how long this will last?

Thanx!

I just read an article about a new drug introduced by Phifezer called "Chantix". Supposedly it helps smokers to stop smoking by working w/some receptors in the brain that trigger a craving. Has anyone tried it? What was your experience w/it? Would you recommend it? It's a little pricy at about $169 online........thanks!
