Does anyone have this or could give me some info on this(?) I keep getting this rash right where the waistband of underwear usually is. I used to think I was allergic to metals (buttons, belt buckles etc) but now I think it could be this. Thanks for your help. Also looking for info on tomato allergies.

I have chronic sinus disease and no medical insurance. This year has been the worse for me. I went to the doctor back in sept. for an infection but ever since then I have had dizziness, I finally went back and she said I had fluid in my ears and put me on an antibotic, vermist spray, and a steriroid to reduce inflamation. I do feel tons better but the dizziness bothers me and just hinders me in everyday activities. I am hoping a freeze comes soon! Is there anything I can do to reduce or stop the dizziness? I take meclazine but it doesn't help much.
Oh, I also take singular and claritin. I don't do well with decongestints. Any suggestions?

I have been recently diagnosed with a peanut allergy and have been having problems at the grocery store trying to find products to eat. Any suggestions so that I can just grag-and-go and not have to read every label.

My wife and I are going through rough times. We are separated. I had an affair about a month ago, for the first time. We were already having tensions, but this actually served as a catalyst for me to move out. The guilt. The other thing is, I had unprotected sex. So not wanting to take chances, I moved out because if I had actually contracted something, I don't want to give it to her. Now I am noticing that something did happen. I found some pale discoloration on my foreskin. It doesn't sound like Candida. It looks like ringworm. There is an oval ring shaped spot on the bottom of my penis, with slightly raised edges, barely noticable. And a couple of other smaller spots on top. Nothing on the head. I have been putting Lotrimin on it for a week. No results yet. Does it sound like something serious?

It seems whenever I get sick it lasts for a month! No one else appears to have colds that long! It feels like I'm sick all the time since they last so long. Cough, sore throat, runny nose. I do work at a elementary school, but it's my second year, shouldn't I start to be immune?
I take vitamins and I'm pretty healthy, don't smoke.

My girlfriend started getting genital warts around 7 months ago. The first few months we thought that they were just razor bumps. We have continued having unprotected sex during this time. We have been together in a monogomus relationship for 3 years too. I developed plater warts on my feet around the same time she started noticeing the bumps. Then she got diagnosed with the warts when she went to the docter because the bumps started looking like warts. I dont have any signs of the warts. I am concerned that we can pass them too me. I heard even if you use a condom it doesnt gaurentee that you wont get it because you are exposed still in the areas where your not wearing the condom. Since we have been having sex 3 times a week for years is it ok that we just continue to have sex as usual with no condoms or what?

I live in the top level of a three story apartment building. I have been dead tired and unable to sleep, this is also the case with my girlfriend and roommate. Is it possible that someone below or beside me is doing something illegal in their unit. Does anyone have any experience with this type of thing. If so please give suggestions or the name of an organization that could help me find out. Thank You.
