my fiance says she hasn't been able to use the bathroom in about 7 days now. she took some new yogurt and cereal that she thinks caused it, but they were supposed to be high in fiber. Anyhow she tried taking some medicine over the counter that was supposed to make her use the bathroom within 15 min and it didn't work. She went to the doctor today and they did an x-ray and said her intestines were backed up and gave her some medicine that's supposed to take 2 to 4 days. Is this common for women? Is this a serious condition? Will she be ok? She's worried and I don't know what to do, but comfort her.

I believe she has used suppositories already. She doesn't like talking about that kind of stuff, but she briefly mentioned that.

How long does the pills take to work? By the way I'm not intrested in hearing how pro-active is better or a dermatogist. I just want to know if natures cure works.

Why would anyone refuse treatment for tuberculosis? Thats just mind boggling to me that anyone with a positive TB test would refuse to take the antibiotics for treatment. What do you think they are thinking?

There's an over- the- counter drug for bladder infections, I heard, and sounds perfect for the timing. And even better because of the fact that I don't have insurance. When I looked up the symptoms, it's all the same for both infections. Does anyone happen to know off hand if there are any distinct differences between the two? Thanx.

I just found out I have HPV,but have never had a breakout or any idea I had it until my abnormal pap smear.

My ex boyfriend had a small bump on the tip of his penis for the duration of our relationship- he said it had been there as long as her remembered.Could this have been a genital wart? It was quite small,like a tiny pimple,but with no redness.

I was diagnosed with Parvo in May 07, It was painfull and exhausting! All my doctors said that it would only last 2 - 3 weeks and would be gone never to appear again. Now 5 months later hundreds of dollars gone and many specialist under my belt I still have the virus and it is getting worse!
All doctors here are stunned and say they have never seen a case like it ( lucky me). They are saying I don't have many options,

Option 1 - Ride it ou and hope it gets better not worse

Option 2 - Have another course of steriods, painkillers and anti-inflamitories and hope that works ( which I tried just over a onth ago and it was the worst I've been so far.

Option 3 - Have a blood transfusion from patients who have overcome the virus and our now carrying the antibodies in there blood. Although they don't know if it will work and if my body will reject it.

If there is anyone out there who has had the virus or knows anything about it I would deeply appreciate hearing from you.

I am looking into a disease that is possibly called Synaptic neuro- thombosis (whew) but i can not find any info on it. Not even sure that is the name of it. There is quite possibly another name for it. It is when your blood vessels in your skull are to small to allow the right amount of blood flow thru them. Symptoms include headaches, MAJOR fatigue, weakness, etc. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. That is the only name i have gotten for it but im not even sure that is correct. Thanks!!! All will be appriciated!!
