Hello,

For the past 2 months I have been having on and off again severe bouts of teeth pain. After 2 months I just couldnt take it anymore and went to the dentist. He told me my wisdom teeth are rotting and that i have an infection in 2 other teeth. I am going on antibiotic tomorrow, however, did I wait too long? Could the infection have already spread to my bloodstream, heart, eyes, brain? For the past 2 days now my right eye (side of the bad tooth) is swollen and I have problems closing the eyelid.

What if the infection spread? Will the antibiotic get wherever it spread? I am panicking over this as I keep reading on the internet that a tooth infection can lead to death. Am i over-reacting or over-paranoid about this?

Should I go to the ER right now? Am I dying?

Thanks,
Adam

I first developed these symptons when I joined the military. I felt that my feet is often being rubbed against friction everytime I put on my heavy combat boots and went for combat training which last from day to night for 2 years until I dropped out from the army. I think is may be the possible reason I developed severe cracked feet!
I apply moisturizing cream for my feet for 24/7! I even wrap my feet in heavy medical dressing and put on 2 pair of socks when I go to work to alleviate the friction rubbed against my feet so my skin won't flake off so easily! It helped to reduce the damage but my feet will still turn out worse than before I stepped out of my home to work! I even resorted to spending hours peeling off the dead skin after returning from work each day to avoid the ugly and embarassing sight of my cracked feet!
This annoying condition has stayed with me for a year now and I'm desperately seeking cure for this disease!
Any help or suggestions?

I read survival rates and they say things like " 1 year survival rate 93 % , 10 year survival rate 64% ( those are for hodgkins lymphoma). Does that mean that after one year 93% of ppl are still alive, and after 15 years only 64% of ppl are still alive ? Or does it mean that if it hasnt been cured after 15years, theres only a 64% chance of cure ?

I've missed one day, school started on September 4th so far. You can see my symptoms here or what I think I have: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=An9qYRvTF9DeDmH2bVpatRvsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20070923184133AAWtJxZ.
Here are my symptoms:

Random fits of coughing
Periodic Dehydration
Raw throat
Hard to breathe
Heat/Coldness fluctuations, however, not extreme
Around 100F fever (My norm is 97.6)
Drowsiness
Mild Headache

I tried the chicken noodle soup, resting, and warm salt water, all helped to a degree but I still feel quite awful, I feel worse however in the beginning of the day/morning so right before bed like now I feel my best, I shudder to think what I'll be like tomorrow morning... my mom thinks on the financial side of things and not my health, even saying that I won't miss school until December or January no matter how sick I am. Please help a teen out!

Thanks!

Yours Truly

I have had a severe cough for three weeks. At first I started out with common cold symptoms. Two weeks later the symptom now is my cough and the broken capilaries in my face from coughing so hard. I am coughing up mocus, its white/ clear. I have tried expecterants, they thin the mocus to the point I can't cough it up. I started taking Nyquil last night, I actually got some sleep! But regreted it in the morning. I have never had anything like this before.

A couple years ago, I found out I had HPV and had to get a laserlization on my cervix. The dysplasia was removed but I was told that I wasn't cured from HPV. My then boyfriend and I broke up and now I am with my new boyfriend who (as far as we can know) does not have HPV. We've been together for a while actually and he wants to have sex without a condom (because I am also on the pill). I've told him about my sexual history, but he still insists that he wants to do it.

Is it possible that he will get HPV and pass it on if we were to break up? I'd feel horrible having sex with him, breaking up, and then his next partner contracting my STD.

I do plan on asking my GYN next week when I get my annual, I was just wondering what you all think :)

I am 32 years old and have taken adderall before while in school but I have not takin it for this long of a period of time without a break so I am not sure if this is a side effect.
I have been taking it everyday since August 10th. I take a 20mgs a day. Sometimes i got a day without it.
For about a week and half now I have had EXTREME skin itching especially in scalp. I thought it was my soap so I stopped that. At times it gets so bad that I take a bath 3 times a day. Tonight I am so frustrated and have itched my head so bad that my roots hurt.
I last took 10mg of Adderall yesterday and none today
has anyone else experienced this?
I have stopped everything-switched out laundry det., switch bath soap-not used soap, everything you can think of...
i am pulling straws now thing it might be the adderall.

I'm not an easily rattled person but lately I've been having headaches and blurry vision, plus a few nosebleeds and I'm terrified that it could be a brain tumour.
I've booked in for a doctor later this week but am really panicky and can't help thinking the worst- that I'm going to die.
I'm not even sure if this is connected, but I've sort of 'forgotten' how to walk up stairs and have to look at them when I'm walking up them- could this be classed as memory loss.
Please advise me. Should I be so worried?
