Diseases & Conditions - 16 September 2007

I felt a lump on my nads, I think It might be cancer, I did an inter net search, all the results were the same, Testicular cancer. I thought I might be able to cut it out myself, If I numb it real good, or i can just let it go and see if it hurts, or if it spreads. If it does spread then I can take other action( you know). I really like to get it taken care of, but I have no insurace to cover the cost, which I believe to be anywhere from $50,000 to $200,000. I don't have that kind of money. that's the way the dice roll I guess. I even called cancer treatment centers of america, I told them I have no insurance and they hung up on me, hmmm. power of the dollar. what should I do, and is dying of this to painful, I have no insurance, so that means no pain killers, and I don't think I be able to go that far into it all. the worst thing that breaks my heart is the fact that I never became anything useful

I was diagnosed with Sarcoidosis, I am taking 40mg. of Prednisone, and 800mg. of Bactrim. I am 32 yrs. old, and a smoker trying to quit. I still have more tests to take to see if it is in my eyes and heart. I haven't worked in a year, but I guess wondering if it is possible to get a job, and what kind of job could I do. I applied for SSI and Disability for Depression a year ago, and they denied me, then I added my Sarcoidosis before they make a decision in November. So, is it possible to get a job, and still have this disease? Or is anyone that has this disease still working or not. My brother seems to think this disease is nothing and I can still work, just wanting to see if it is possible or not.

My mom is currently smoking a pack a day of "light" cigarettes and really wants to quit but she is addicted. I have heard really good things from a lot of people about a combination of Chantix/Support groups. Has anyone tried this drug and does it work and are there any really serious side effects?

When I was in elementary school, I use to experience this all the time...Just under my jaw, it would start burning and itching. Then I start coughing really badly and have trouble breathing. It went away for a long time. But I just came back from walking, and I am having those same symptoms again. (I am 24 years old now)I haven't been active in awhile, but I did walk 2 days ago the same route and I was completely fine. What is going on? Should I get this checked out?

if you ever have a herpes outbreak inside your mouth, can it be spread by the little spits that come out of your mouth when you talk? You know when you talk sometimes and like little spits come out. I know it can spread easily, but can it be spread like that?

I had a few bug bites on my right hand some time ago. I stupidly scratched at it a bit....weeks later after letting it heal....it itches and the skin look very pruney...like it's not fully healed, although the scaby parts have falled off (on it's own accord).

-- Will it stop itching soon and will the skin always look so pruney?

--I've never had a bite that left my skin 'damaged' for such a period of time...I'm guess it might be more than a mosquito like the other ones...you think?....I live in the bay area....so I'm trying to figure out what kind of spider could leave such a complicated wound.
