BG reading at bedtime was 295
so i gave myself 30 u Humolog and 80 u of Lantus (reg dose)
and went to bed , but i had dry mouth so i sucked on 1/2 a hard candy, about 6 am i woke up with dry mouth and sucked on the other half of candy

I have an eye sty and orientation is soon and school. Is it possible that it can get so bad, I could go into Surgery? Is it true it is caused by stress? It would make sense because i started feeling pain in my eye when i came home from a vacation to a house of responsibility and frustration. Also, what are some things i could do to help it go away, or even voodo things, like my mom said if i swiped a bunch of my hair on it 9 times across in the morning before i got out of bed, it would go away, my aunt had it and said that worked, but my eye still hurts right now. Here are my questions just incase i confused you-
1. Is it possible to get surgery?
2. Does the Hair swipe 9 times across it help?
3. What are other things that could make it go away?
4. Is it possible that coming home from my vacation to a house of responsibility would have caused it?

Thank you so much!

Yesterday morning I woke up and had a red mark on my neck, as the day progressed it got bigger and went up behind my ears and my face looks like I have sun burn and am very hot.

This freaked me out so I went to the docs this morn and after just looking at me he said I have something called "strep throat" and gave me some penicillin.
The thing is my throat doesn't hurt. Feels like I have a bit of a lump in it but that's it.

I did a bit of research on the net and nowhere seems to mention the redness...Does anyone know if this is actually a sympton of strep throat?

I feel totally drained and burning up!

My father has just been told he has a low blood count, it should be 12 when it is only 8. He is to have tests done, Chest Xray and then other tests that he has not been informed off yet. His body has already had problems because of this last week his blood pressure dropped so dramatically that his body went into shock. He looked like he was having a stroke or something. he has been told it could happen again at any time.

What could be wrong, and how can he have a low blood count when he has not lost any blood.

Please help we are all extremely concerned.

one of my close friends told me that while he was shaving underarm hair, he found something unfamiliar and as he remembers, it was there for several months now.. it looks like a small hair that is stuck underneath the outer skin..curious, he pressed the sides of that spot and a sticky fluid came out and few blood drops followed.. what is it? please take the question seriously...
