I put new sheets on my bed. I can't remember the thread count if it matters. Anyway,only on my side of the bed there are these little balls of fabric, kinda like lint balls they are not on the other side so it is something from me. I have washed them and they do not leave. I was wondering if anyone knows what might have caused it. I was thinking maybe because I had prickly new growth leg and arm hairs from shaving, or my lotion. My boyfriend felt it and thought it was funny but this has never happened with any other sheets and why only on my side?? I washed them before we put them on the bed and the next time I washed them they appeared on my side and seem to have gotten worse. It's just strange...

I have hyperacusis as a result of sensory issues (no autism or anything, just genetics), and I really want to be able to enjoy things like my boyfriend's concerts, church services, movies in theaters, etc. As mentioned in another question, I have a massive neurological-based spasm/grimace (loss of muscle control) that occurs for just a few seconds when I'm around loud noise until I brace myself. This makes it hard for me to have much of a social life as a teenager.

I'm trying aroma therapy and pressure/massage therapy, but I'm seriously considering something like the Ease CD's. Does anyone have any experience with any AIT things you can do at home? I'd really like opinions before I invest my limited funds into this.

Most of the 'cures' for being hypersensitive to loud noises are very expensive and will undo themselves if you're exposed to loud sounds! Isn't that the point of curing myself-- to be around them? Anyone have any ideas?

Mild golden staph infections can look like little pimples on the skin, on the face, back, buttocks etc.

Anyone got advice on anything that can be done to avoid the infection, treat it once it's there, get rid of the spots, anything.

Any advice would be much appreciated!!

I'm a bodybuilder and sometimes I get trouble breathing normally; after walking a flight of stairs of around 20 steps, I sometimes have to breath through my mouth. After eating it's the same thing. It's been happening to me for quite some time now.

Can anyone help me out?
And if you're also a bodybuilder, does this happen to you?

if so, do you have scars, and have you been able to find something that works for the scars? For the longest time in my life I thought I was the only person whose arms looked so bad; covered them almost all yr round, I have also seen worse on the interner. I didn't even know what I had for yrs, but in a way its nice to know other people suffer from this, not just me, too bad no to many know about it. please help.

Hey guys...I am 20 and I was just diagnosed with RA...my grandma had it and I guess it tends to skip a generation...

I was just wondering if anyone else young like me has it? Obviously the answer is yes but sometimes I just feel like I'm the only one who seems to have a body that thinks its 78...

Right now I am on a sulfa drug but its been like 2 months and I still get pains in my fingers and hands...is this normal for anyone else who has it? I know it has to build up and I am gonna ask my doc about it but I am just curious....

If the myelin sheaths are attacked, resulting in the depletion or exhaustion of impulses before they reach the relevant nerve endings, then shouldn't scientists be looking at the possible regeneration of myelin...?

I'd like answers from MS sufferers, carers, relatives please in the hope that you may have thought or heard of this too.

I am under watch by my opthamologist for possible glaucoma. Once, measured by optametrist, my IOP was slightly our out of normal range. He did not note any other indicators of the disease. He has been checking my optic nerve (takes pictures) and doing vision field test for years.

Because of the optametrist's observation, I decided to see an opthomologist. The opthomologist repeated the test and found the IOP within normal range however, decided to do all of of the other tests (vision field test and pictures of optic nerve). He says that he will repeat the tests in three months, compare the results and then conclude as to whether or not I have glaucoma.

I use weight to stay fit. I do not do any power lifting etc. My objective is to stay toned, not to bulk up. I know there were some studies done that say that IOP goes up if you "weight lift". I would like to hear from those who have gluacoma or are knowledgeable in the field and/or are famalier with the study

I went to the doctor on Monday regarding a single lesion on my penis which was looked a lot like a pimple. My doctor asked if it hurt if it got squeezed and i said yes and he said you have herpes with no further testing. He then prescribed me a $250.00 7 day supply of Famvir which even states on the website "Has not been proven effective for initial outbreaks". Does this sound like I should get a second opinion or can herpes really be diagnosed by merely looking at it that easily? I do also have a medical history with Staph boils and such if it at all could be related. I really don't know what to think about this.
