My teacher said this word in class and I forgot how to spell it.
If I remember right it means 'an unknown pain reoccuring (or something like occuring)'.
(Chronic-idio-pathic-angina) or close to that.
If I can give some more hints I will lol but thanks for your help.

I am anemic, and I have been since birth. At my last physical It worsened, and during gym class there are instances where I get incredibly lightheaded (to the point of almost fainting), and my vision goes completely white and stays like that for 5 seconds at the least.

What's going on here?

Well I went to the gyno today because I had BV and wanted to get some medicine so it would go away. Well while she was looking I told her about how it sometimes would be sore on the right side of my vagina when I started to have sex. Not really that much pain but I have had it for a few months and its starting to get annoying, well she looked and found this blister/sore type thing and said it looked like I might have syphilis. The thing is, I have only had one sex partner and we've been together sexually for over year so why would I just now see this? And I have never noticed anything on him before and he has said that he has gotten tested for anything and come back fine. My doctor told me that from what I said it probably isnt syphilis but still is gonna take a test, and if its negative she'll just do a biopsy and told me not to worry. But I still am really scared. Could it just be a sore from having sex or something that never healed? Anyone ever had anything like this? Thanks

My primary care physician and cardiologist are scratching their heads over my condition. My pressure is ALWAYS around 160/90. They have tried almost every prescription to treat my high blood pressure. Right now I'm on Hyzaar in conjunction with Norvasc, both at the maximum dose and my pressure hasn't budged a millibar. I tried looking for info on uncontrolled hypertension on the Web but I only found vague answers. Maybe someone knows someone that had this. What did they do about it?

I don't mess around with anyone. I take care of his ex lovers little evil spawn. And I know her mother is a Carrier of MRSAI was told that anyone who has MRSA can pass it on just drinking from my cup or glass. This child is also a carrier just like her mother But everyone is mad now because I told them the doctor told me this woman can spread what she has. Just from eating off my dishes and using my bathroom is this raelly true. I am really scared who else she could be spreading this to. Because she lives with my son and his wife and 3 small children.

The school nurse "thinks" that there "appears to be" nits in my son's hair. He's been using a shampoo with selenium sulfide 2.5% for well over 10 yrs for dandruff--this stuff also treats ringworm. If it is used to treat ringworm, can lice exist in the treated hair long enough to plant their nits? By the way, he has a doctor's appt in an hr, hopefully I'll get an answer...If not, I'll ask a pharmacist...Thanks!

I have HPV and of course they strain with genital warts. i am being treated by a dermatologist and using Aldera. its hard for me to ask my derm. these questions so i want to ask them here. i got them from someone in jan. 2007 and was seeing somone differnt in may 07 but did not have any visible warts unitl july. Did i give my partner hpv? there was no fluid transfer or does that matter? 2nd, if the warts go away, will i still transmit HPV to others or will my body have suppresed it? and if they do go away will skin to skin contact spread it or by fluids or both or more? i know i will have hpv the rest of my life but my body will suppress it, right? is there any other treatment for the warts besides the Aldera? thanks for any answers!!!!!

I've read a few different things about layering and I need to know what's correct. I live in the Denver area so sun protection is really important! Any how I've read that if you layer two levels of SPF, for example an SPF 45 sunscreen and then SPF 15 foundation you will only have the protection of the SPF 15. I've also heard it's the other way around, that you would have the higher level of protection. Thank you!

My son has had the intestional flu for two weeks. We have tried immodium, but it wears off after 24 hours. The last time he took it, it didn't even work. Over ten years ago, I had another child with the same problem. I took him to the doctor and he prescribed antibiotics. Antibiotics to treat diarrhea! It did not help at all. What do other doctors do for this?
