So i recentely had a blood test and the doctor is concerned a bit on my calcium level. It says that between 8.5-10.5 is the normal amount. Mine is 12.5 and the doc wants me to come back in another week to get another blood test to see if it changes. I also have some high liver numbers that he was concerned about. Doc says it could be fatty liver or from the ADD meds i'm on. I also have some pulsing sensation on left side of stomach. it is sore at times and i'm noticing it more and more now. any info would be appreciated. thanks

and i just got treated for it...i have no idea where it could've came from since i've been having sex with only one person for over a year now (w/ condoms). i told the person i've been sleeping with & he has a pretty casual attitude about it, he says he's not mad or upset at all because it's curable. is this a normal reaction to finding out something like this? i expected him to be just as upset as i was.

I'm not doing this to lose weight but to cleanse the body. I'm going to try it for three days.

I went to the doctor because my knees were swollen to the point i could barely walk and was in excruciating pain. My ANA was very high and he stated i needed to see an endochronologist asap. I have not yet seen one do to booking problems, but my knees are getting better. He doesnt feel it is rheumotoid arthritis. Since the knees are getting better now, do i still need to see the specialist?

Hi
My problem is that during a screening for STDs, the clinic called and said they had a false biological positive on some aspect of the blood test fir HIV, they said to come in for a repeat blood test which I did a month or so after the original blood test. They told me that the results were exactly the same as the first time, and that this meant I was not HIV positive. I was told that there are certain things in different peoples’ blood and I have something in mine that made me test very weakly positive, but that I was not, in fact, positive, because if I was, there would have been significant changes in my blood over the elapsed time between first and second blood test.

I am still worried. Could I have HIV? I know I have been told that I don’t but it did not seem black and white, it was a very unsatisfactory explanation, and only through a phone call so I could not discuss this further.

Could the “false positive” be due to the fact that I had HPV during my first blood test? Or due to the fact that I had glandular fever nearly 4 years ago? Could prescribed drugs affect this test? What exactly is in my blood and is there any way it could turn into a dangerous virus and what can I do to prevent this?

Many thanks for any help that you can give.

My mother shared this with me recently, and did not say it was in confidence. My father is 72, me, my brother and sister are all adults. He has also started throwing up blood, so I assume it is getting into the serious stage. I hate to be the bringer of bad news, but can't decide if I should say something or just keep it to myself.

I have a hard time breathing sometimes.
This has been like this for 4 weeks now.
I'm 22.
My doctor thinks its asthma so she assumed that it is.
She doesn't seem to think its nesscary to have a test done.
I got xrays done & they come out normal.
What ALL could be wrong with me if its not asthma?
Wouldn't I have more symptoms if it wasn't?
Why or Why not?
The prednoise pills that I have took for it help.
What ALL does everyone think?
And why?

I'v noticed that i had lice about 2 weeks going on 3 weeks ago now but that is just when i noticed so i dont know if i'v had them longer. My head is itchy a lot but has been less itchy as of late. However, when i go in a pool it seems like my head is immediatly itchy. Is that the chlorine or something?I have applied the lice shampoo (ex: RID) 3 times now and i use the comb that comes with it after each. I feel as if the shampoo is killing all of the live head lice but the nits just wont go away. We spent almost an hour yesterday using the gel and combing but i looked today and i still found some nits/eggs today. I am absolutley sick of theses buggers and want them out. Shaving my head however is out of the question. HELP!!

Hi, I'm 22 and I have carpal tunnel syndrome. I have tried everything and it's become so bad that I now have to wear braces 24 hours a day.

My doctor is recommending surgery and I'm wondering if anyone else has had it and if it worked for them. Plus, how long it took to recover. I'm a full time student and I use my hands for work.

I'm guessing a long-term solution would be to loose some weight so my thighs wouldn't rub in the first place, but what I really need is something to stop it from being so painful right now.

It isn't normally anything like this bad, but as swimming costume season has arrived I have shaved all the gross pubic-like hair that grows there off (am I the only one whose pubic hair doesn't stay where it's supposed to?). Once I'd shaved it the skin was smooth-ish for a while but large red spot-like things had appeared, like my legs had acne.

It all hurts and I am looking for something that will sooth it. I am teenage and therefore WAY too embarassed to see a doctor for it, but if there was something cheap I could pick up in Boots that would not be embarassing to be seen buying, that would be perfect.

In the bathroom cupboard I found a bottle of Calamine Lotion which claims to 'soothe sunburn and other minor skin conditions'. Will that help?

Any ideas for soothing skin? Thanks.

Almost everyday, I have a sudden moment of being short-breathed (a few hours sometimes) Aslo, I feel my heart, it has a strange rhythm, for a few beats, it beats somewhat quickly, then for two beats or so, I feel it thump slowly for a few seconds. Also, I sometimes feel numbness in my arms, abdomen, and face.

I would also appreciate some advice on what to do until I can go see a doctor.
