18 months ago I had burning, stabbing sensations in my upper left chest/back and all down my left leg and arm. Apart from that felt great. All the tests were done with nothing found. These pains very gradually died down over six months. What I didn't realise was that they came about after too much alcohol. The initial bout was 2 days after I got drunk at a works party. Is it alcohol poisoning? Have I damaged my liver/kidneys/spleen? after all this time they are pretty much ok however I do get twinges now and again but nothing like at first.

I am now down to four pints of beer a week instead of a day. I am eating lots of green stuff to get my anti-oxidants in and I haven't had a cigarette since the day the pains started ( I was smoking a lot up until this - I believe that can mess your functions up as well)

My main concern is will my spleen/liver/what ever eventually turn cancerous?
I am 40.

Thanks

From what I know, genital warts are passed through skin to skin contact. And that's basically all I know about it. If someone touch a person in the infected area with their hand, can they catch the virus? And when you have the virus, does the warts just decide to appear anywhere? It's sort of confusing to me. It would seem to me that if a person touched an infected person, they'd get it on the skin/area they touched with.

I've also heard that people with the virus can pass it even without an outbreak. Is this true? How is this possible?

If someone can help me understand, I would greatly appreciate it.

Could I have gotten herpes 2 from someone before I had my child. I have no symtoms but my doctor says I have it. I have a child but no symtoms came out while I was pregnant either. I have to tell my husband and I dont know how. I know he might run like hell but I dont want him to get sick from me. Could herpes stay dormant for a long time and I not know it. I have had no symtoms at all. Maybe a yeast infection here and there but thats it. I told another doctor what happened and he said the if I had herpes that I would know it because I wouldnt be able to walk because I would be hurting between my legs. please help

I posted a question earlier.Thanks for your response.
I got diagnosed for FBS 130,three months back.From then,I am using ayurvedic medicine.Blood Sugar has come down.After three months,I got Hb1Ac test done and the result is 5.2%(Non-diabetic).I am slim(underweight),has good lifestyle.Parents are diabetic at the age of 50.I am 27 now.

I want to know if Hb1Ac test shows really shows if I am diabetic or because I was using ayurvedic medicine for the past three months,the results does not show exactly if I am diabetic.

My Symptoms:

Extreme tiredness only.

Please suggest.

. My daughter went in for a 5 hr blood sugar GTT test and the bill comes out to $1336.70!!! When I went with her they said my part would be $192.00.(Have Insurance) Now they send me a bill for $336.14. I ask for an itemize bill. on it they have CBC w/auto diff -- Comprehensive metabolic panel==T4 Thyroxine==T3 Uptake==Thyroid Stimulating Hormone==Vitamin B-12== Folate== along with the fasting blood sugar 5hr GTT down for 5 times and then Venipuncture
Now how can this be??? They only drew her blood 5 times and was just suppose to be checking for sugar!! It seems the diagnostic clinic which I am getting a bill from the Hospital is trying to really screw me. She also had to take a tilt table test and passed out on it so they refuse to let me take her home and put her in the hospital. Now they are billing me another 301.98 for that. I paid the test cause I thought that was the hospital bill. So now I refuse to pay the hospital bill till I know what is going on over there!!

My 14-year-old daughter just came home and said that her friend was just sent home from a hairdresser with "lice," although she thinks only nits were found. I checked her and found, after a while, some little white things that could be nits. Not a lot, though, and not clustered. They could also be dandruff or product (she uses a fair amount). I kept looking with a flashlight, and look though I did for some time, never found even one louse-looking thing. Her scalp looks pretty healthy too. She had one instance that we thought was lice about 10 years ago, but again, never found a bug, although her older brother did have some, and we deloused accordingly (he's long gone, and we don't live there anymore).

Any advice? We're really very hygienic, daily washing of bodies and clothing, weekly sheet changing and all that.

I've been having slight chest pains recently, they only occur when I apply pressure to the area though, but pressure comes from having my torso in a an angle that causes the pain not pushing on it. I have a blood pressure of 145/74 I'm curious since I do martial arts, when thrown and not falling properly lead to this because I had the pain under the armpit for 2 days then it transferred to more of the left nipple region.

I have had a a virus or possible bacterial infection for the past two weeks. It started with sore throat, swollen lymph node (right side neck only) stuffy nose, fever, headache, and tiredness. After about 3-4 days the fever went away as did the headache and the sore throat. It started to flip flop between runny nose and stuffy nose. On the 7th day i went to the Dr. I started having bad nausea and some bowel issues. My white blood count was a little high (11.9) and the lymph node on the right side was still swollen so the dr gave me Doxicyclin anti biotic.
I took this for three days and went for a re check because i was still nauseated and lymoh node still swollen. They switched me to Amoxycillin. I have now been on it for 5 days and my right lymph node is STILL the same size. No fever, no more upper respitory symptoms. Just nausea that is worse in the AM and the swollen lymph node.
How long does it take for your lymph node to go down? not painful just swollen. Any ideas?

My mother recently passed away and now I have to donate or dispose of her diabetic machines and supplies, numerous syringes, adult diapers, and other such items. I would love to be able to donate these items to a worthwhile charity. If not, I need to dispose of them but need to know how to do this as well. I mean, one shouldn't just throw insulin syringes in the trash.

Recently I recieved a fairly severe sunburn. I am very fair with freckles. The burn was definate 2nd degree. Past red, it was purple and completely blistered. The tops of my back and shoulders recieved the worst level of burn. Now that the skin has healed I have had severe pain like raw nerve endings. It's a itchy, burning, shooting, intense pain. I haven't slept much for a week because it seems to be getting worse.

I have tried nearly everything in my house. The later it is in the evening, it seems to get worse. Also any stimulation makes it worse. The worst part is it gets so itchy and the more I itch it, the more unbearably itchy it gets.

Does anyone have any suggestions to soothe the pain and itching? Also, does anyone know about how long this irritation might last?
