Background info. - cousin - 14/female/Canada.
Recently my cousin came to stay with us in Sheffield for the summer. 7 days ago, a few of us went to London for a short trip, including me and my cousin. We spent quite a lot of time outside. We returned to Sheffield 2 days later and about a day after that my cousin fell ill. She has been feeling ill ever since (past 4 days or so).

Her symptoms:
Her first symptom was a fever. The fever tends to vary in severity - rises and goes down daily. She has reddish pimples over her head, face, neck and stomach. Also, they are purulent (contain pus). It feels quite sticky and itchy over the areas with pimples. She has swollen glands behind her ears. She experiences some pain when she swallows. She has loss of appetite. It hurts when breathing. She has pain in her right side of her body, especially in hips, but this is probably due to her sleeping position. She has only taken Tylenol for her symptoms (it's like paracetamol).

What's happening?

Im just here to get what yall think. I think i may have tonsilitis or some other throat infection. Bcuz i can feel a couple..i wouldnt call them swollen, but simply enlarged, lymph nodes on the right side of my neck. and i just read that the lymph nodes located on the neck area have to do with the throat/mouth. so what do you think? whats causing these couple lymph nodes to enlarge? I should note that i felt like ive had a sore throat lately...nothing too bad but still can feel it. and i have a minor cough, but ive always had a minor cough for as long as i can remember actually.

Hi, ive got these flat brown spots in my pubic area which are about the size of a 20 cent piece, and a few little ones on the head of my penis. they kind of look like warts but they are flat.
i also have similar looking ones just under my chest. so i had a look on the internet and all that came up was genital warts, but im a virgin and have had no sexual contact with anyone. what do you think it could be?

My son found a baby robin on the ground after a wind storm two days ago. He brought it home, and we are caring for it. I wonder what kinds of diseases/sickness we can get by handling it. We are washing our hands after each feeding and using Germ-X.

I am very itchy around the groin area and was diagnosed with Tinea from my doctor, which makes sense after I read up on it.
I was watching tv last night and a tv ad on genital herpies came on and made me think it could be that. It's very itching, but no real sign of anything, maybe a tiny tiny bit of redness, but really hardly anything at all. I have had it for over a year. Would I know if I had genital herpies, or should I get it checked out for a second time?

For the past nine months I have had a migraine type headache every single morning when I wake up. I have had blood work done. I have had two CT scans done, with & w/o contrast.
I do have COPD. I am on oxygen 24/7.
Every test has come back negative. Nothing has changed as far as medication or life style. I have researched everything I can think of to no avail. The doctors have no idea either. I go to an internist & a pulmonary doctor on a regular basis.

I even bought a new smoke/carbon monoxide detector.

ANY IDEAS??? I am getting desparate. The pain is killing me. Some times pain pills help & some times they don't. My doctor doesn't want me to get hooked on Vicodin for pain. I don't either so I don't take it. After I am out of bed it starts to subside. It takes about an hour for it to completly go away without taking any kind of pain killer.

I am posting this in respiratory category because of my COPD & oxygen.

Please add your knowledge to the facts below. It seems like the younger generations don't learn all the facts until it is too late. Let's try to do something about it! (Yahoo, I challenge you to help spread the word!)

I have HPV and HSV2 so I will add a few facts to start:

-Approximately 22% of the population have Herpes Simplex Type 2 (genital Herpes)
-Approximately 50% of the population have HPV (80% of women by the age of 50)
-HSV and HPV are transmitted through skin-to-skin contact, not through bodily fluids
-Condoms do not fully protect you against getting HSV or HPV
-Someone who gets HSV Type 1 (cold sores) can give their partner genital Herpes through oral sex even without symptoms
-HSV and HPV are incurable
-There is no FDA approved HPV test for men unless they have visible symptoms (warts)
-Full STD screenings usually only test for chlamydia gonorrhea, syphilis, and HIV - not HSV or HPV
-You don't have to be promiscuous to get an STD

I haven't been feeling well for quite a while now. I had walking pneumonia last month and really havent felt better since. I felt better for a little while, but recently I've had sinuses and I feel weak and tired. And I just threw up twice and it was quite a lot of vomit. My mom is taking me to the doctor on Friday, I'm 15.

I have no idea what it is. Anyone have any ideas?

Anyone know of an online self quiz for Lupus Disease?

I have seen them for other diseases and other things as well online and was wondering if anyone knew of one where you can check all the symptoms and things that apply to you and it would tell you.

THANKS.

I can barely even breathe through my nose!! It's getting frustrating. I've had a massive headache and this is after I've taken cold & sinus & allergy crap.

I'm getting sick of it, it's barely 10pm and I wanna sleep! What the hell do you do in this situation?
