I think I have cystitis as a result of some vigorous loving last night. I have been deperate for toilet all day and when I go it feels like I am passing blades. I noticed that very pale blood has been on the tissue when I have wiped and last time I went I had a tiny clot on the tissue. Does anyone think this is cystitis? I am drinking Cystitis relief sachets that taste vile but if it does the trick, I'm all for it. Help please.

I got a bump on the side of my right ear, its not on the left one, and i tried popping it, so it's not an acne either. Its been there for about 1-2 weeks now and its still the same size ( -- ) About the size of the 2 "--" .

Is that a lymph node and a sign of cancer, or?

I have a good friend whose mom was turned over into Hospice care yesterday. She's in the last stages of pancreatic cancer & was told it can be anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks. Being a mom & a Nana I know how to sit & talk to the little ones on this matter. But does anyone know of a good book designed for kids explaining death? This little boy is only 5yrs. old.

What is cerebral stroke? My father died recently due to cerebral stroke. He was hospitalised for high bp. He was ok for first two days. After that he went unconscious. There was no recovery since then, he died on the fourth day. Reason given by doctors was cerebral stroke. I have seen the info in wikipedia. I want to know from experiences of the people. I knew only heart problems and heart attacks. I never knew that blood clot in the brain would kill the person.

Hi, my co-worker has a problem. He wakes in the middle of the night, and he's paralyzed, and has trouble breathing, and has to make him self go back to sleep in order to wake up. During these times, he can move his eyes, but cannot speak.

Has anyone heard of anything like this, or know the name of it, or know a good resource to find the answer??

from today one may not purchase cigarettes unless one is 18 or over. Surely this should also apply to vegetables, as they are actually KNOWN to contain CARCINOGENS,whereas tobacco smoke has never been shown to contain any known carcinogen?

Smokers pay extra taxes to fund any extra treatment they might require on the NHS.
Surely vegetarians should be treated in the same manner?

I have never had street drugs by needles, unprotected sex, and cannot figure out how I got Hep C. I did have a number of operations from 1983-present. I had active hep C in the 90's right after an operation. Never been so sick! I tried to call a hospital that I had been in , in the 80's to find out if I received blood but they had no record. How could I really find out how I got this. Does it always stay in the blood or does it go away. Thanks for your help.

I've tried "banding" and that proved to be very painful and not too successful. The doctor offered a couple of surgical procedures, but both sounded painful and not something I'm anxious to try. The infrared coagulation therapy looked promising to me, but the doctor said it's not too effective. I want to make sure that he was speaking truth, and not just wanting to promote the surgical alternative.

2 months ago I had an operation on an arthritic joint at base of my thumb.. Since then my hand - fingers & wrist have been very stiff, swollen & painful. I have hand therapy each week, but the swelling doesn't seem to go down,
Several times each day I massage the hand, use alternative hot / cold water dips, use wax therapy, exercise all finger joints & wrist. Use a soft squeezy ball. I use finger splints several times a day. I also wear a pressure glove which I gather is supposed to help reduce swelling. I can now move my fingers into a partial fist, but the whole hand is still very painful, swollen & not able to carry anything. Any further advice appreciated for relief of this condition.
