I've been getting asthma attacks since Friday. I'm afraid to go to sleep because I might not wake up to take my inhaler.

The information out there is confusing....I got tested religously, sometimes twice a year, with pap smears and blood tests for stds. I found out that on Tuesday I have Herpes 2 after breaking out in bumps early that morning. We are still waiting for results...Websites say that the initial breakout happends 2-14 days after contact. My man had no visible sores- NOTHING- But the websites say that you don't have to have sores- AHHHH- in addition, they say the virus can lay dormant??? But wouldn't my STD tests still come back positive??

My boyfriend had surgery yesterday to get a plate and 8 screws removed from his collar bone. When he woke up, we (mother, father, and me) were allowed to see him. He was deathly pale, and looked extremely blotchy. Like all the blood vessels in his face had popped into little dots.

We immediately asked the nurse about this and she said it was a little unusual for him to be doing that but that it could just be from having been put under so late in the day. She then assured us that he would be fine. (it was time for closing, she wanted us out of there).

The next morning (today), none of the blotchy-ness has gone away AND now there are popped blood vessels in both of his eyes. I gave him a benadryl and then we called the doctor. He said the benadryl should been fine and that he was probably allergic to some medicine he was given in the procedure. That we shouldn't worry.
I'm looking at him tonight, he looks not well, but feels fine. His eyes are very swollen and red. Go to ER?

It has been going on for only four days, but I have been living with back pain for years (I am 24) and coping without a doc or generally complaining.
My left side hurts deeply, like nothing else I have ever felt.
I had a full blood panel a few months ago (just an annual checkup, no reason), and the only slightly abnormal things were SLIGHTLY elevated glucose and liver enzymes. Triglycerides were also more than slightly high. Monocytes were VERY high (I have psoriasis, so my doc and I attributed it to this)... I don't think any of this is related, but thought I would add just in case.

A friend of mine has developed a skin disorder that looks kind of like athlete's foot on his fingers. It gets bumpy and starts to pus, and then on his knees, he has these sort of balls that stick out, like a little smaller than golf balls, covered in dry skin. He refuses to go see a doctor. Any idea what this could be or how to treat it? Thank you so much for answering.

my boyfriend was diagnosed with croup. they say it usually happens in young children, he's 27 and its getting worse resulting in blood being coughed up and coming out his nose. the doctor did her examination and were doing all we can at the moment to keep it under control.. ive used the vaporiser cos i heard it helped, and was told that keeping his chest and feet warm would help it so it wouldnt get set off. i've checked out info on the net but want to have opinions of others to know exactly what im dealing with..
any help or information means alot,, thanks heaps :)

I have had this severe shoulder pain for the past 7 years on and off but now more frequently occurring. Lasts about 2-3 months then takes a 2-3 month break and reoccurs. I have no insurance but see a Dr when it gets bad (like now). He did an X-ray and nothing showed and wanted an MRI but to expensive. Cortisone shot but he isnt too certain which part of the shoulder is actually affected. Honestly the pain migrates around my shoulder seeming to affect different spots each time. He had me on pain meds before with an anti inflammatory which I took at night because I couldnt sleep with it either. I am concerned because last time I was there (a few months ago) He seemed like he didnt want to prescribe me them again. I dont know what else to do without a proper diagnosis and so so much pain. I am in an excelerated medical program which I cant even work for insurance...

what do you think my shoulder problem is?
How can I NOT look like I am some narcotic junkie when I need pills?

Could anyone who's been diagnosed with adult scoliosis share your treatment methods that have helped you, please.
I'm researching as best as I can on the net but it's always helpful to hear from people who have actually been through it.
Thanks to all in advance.. :)

I am 26 years of age and I have a knot in my right breast. I have already had my breast examined by a doctor and now I am going to be having a mammagram taken of my breast in the next 2 weeks. My mother told me that having a breast mammagram can give a woman cancer when they are exposed to the radiation. I am terrified now of having this mammagram. Can anyone tell me is this true? Can a person really get cancer once they have a mammagram taken of their breast through the radiation?

I have a small white spot on my iris that seems to have developed quite suddenly; i only noticed it this morning. I'm 16 years old so i doubt it has anything to do with aging. It's not affecting my vision or causing pain. If anyone has any ideas about what it could be I'd appreciate it.
