I have a terrible sinus infection and I'm having trouble breathing because of it. I was prescribed Brometane DX and Amoxocilin. I need the medicine badly, but I may be pregnant. What should I do? I couldn't see my doctor until Monday, and I'm in terrible agony.

How do you all deal with the itchiness of the tape and tegaderms during the hot summer months. Jeez...sometimes it itches SO bad.

When I change my set, I often have to apply cortisone cream to where the old set was. It's red and irritated. That doesn't really happen during the winter months. The actual puncture site is fine...it's where the tape was that's sore and itchy.

Baby oil usually gets off the adhesive that is left on my skin when I pull the tape off. Still, with hot and humid weather...I want to scratch it so badly.

Ideas?

I was diagnosed with diabetes two weeks ago, and I'm taking 50 units of lantus every night at 11pm. Last night an hour after taking my lantus I checked my blood sugar and it was 46 which is way too low, I think they have me on too high of a dose, I'm afraid that at night my blood sugar is going to drop to dangerous levels (I'm not overweight). My next appointment with the doctor isn't until the 20th, any advice is appreciated.

Vomiting black (I don't know anything more specific than that), dehydration to the point that the doctors had to insert an IV into the head because all other veins could not safely take one. Some type of blockage of the colon. Please someone draw a diagnosis of this. This is real it's happening to a 1 year old girl that we know as of right now.

after my wife died, I've had trouble keeping my house clean - and yesterday my dog died of pneumonia that she got suddenly - and I'm pretty scared that something is in the air in my house that caused it from my house being messy. Since she died, I'm really afraid to spend time in my house since I think the air could be bad and I don't want to get a respritory problem. how would I know if the air was ok or not?

am I over reacting? she was almost 15 which is old, but she was exceptionally healthy - she was walkikng 45 minutes a day up until a few days before she died. She got pneumonia suddenly
I don't understand and that's why I'm scared.

thanks

I have a couple of large fibroids that are really giving me a lot of trouble. I can get a partial hysterectomy but would rather not. A holistic doctor suggested that I use bioidentical progesterone cream to back down my estrogen levels which may help the tumors shrink plus use some liver detox pills. Has anyone had success in this area. I'm a little afraid of the cream. Used it two days in a row now and feel as though I'm experiencing some weird side effects.

Do you think it is from the sun or something else?
I was in Florida Sunday through Tuesday and now on Thursday I have these spots all over. Do you think it is from the sun or something else. We were in the ocean also if that has anything to do with it. I got a lot of sun, but I am not really burnt.
What can I do for it?
Help!!!

My grandmother went into the hospital a couple weeks ago with confusion and incoherent behavior, they found her electrolites were low, and had to raise them slowly.

She came back into her right mind, and during the tests they did in that time they found she had cancer in her liver and lungs.

Tonight she went back into the hospital (after being home 2 days) far more confused and much more violently incoherent than before. I am assuming this is because her electrolites must be low again. (I dont know why or how they could drop so fast). The doctors have told us she has stage 4 cancer, and basucally to just keep her comfortable until she passes.

Theyre doing more tests to find out how long that will be, but does anyone have any idea? The thought of her wasting away for months is horrid, even weeks in this state is more than i can handle.

People should just lay down and die. This wasting away crap is bullshit.

I have an older aunt who also has this but i don't have a number or know where she lives. now i am 20, have no medical insurance and no money to go to the doctor. I have been feeling really bad and have been noticing things happening to me and i don't know if its part of the disease or not.
