Because of my sleeping problem, I missed todays doctors apt for the 2nd or 3rd time,I fear when I call them later today they won't take me,the alarm didn't go off,and I shut down my pc before retiring ,but it isn't acting right and stayed on ,so people were calling me to get me awake,but couldn't get through. Can some one in the know tell me the best thing to say, to be seen? I have possibly serious halth problems.

I've been allergy tested to death and react to nothing except the control allergen. My doc says that 90% of the time they never find a cause for the hives, but 90% of the time, they go away on their own within 5 years.

He gave me a topical cream to use, but geez, sometimes I'm covered from head to toe! And of course the more I scratch, the more the hives spread.

Anybody have any natural or herbal remedies to ease the itching of hives?

One of my friends overtime became a drug addict. When shooting heroin one time he said he borrowed the needle from a drug dealer, who meant to give him another one. The one he used was used before by someone who had hepatitis b and aids. he is afraid to go see a doctor because he hasn't told his parents yet. Is there any chance he may not have aids? I am really scared about this and am not joking. It has been two weeks since this happened. If he doesn't tell his parents soon, should I tell them?

I have eleven little, red, itchy bumps on my right leg, and I'm afriad it could be a sign of MRSA. However, I am at my boyfriend's house a lot and he has dogs, and he was talking about how he needs to buy flea powder, and his dogs have been scratching themselves a lot, so I'm trying to tell myself it's flea bites.
What should I do?
Do I go to a doctor just to be sure?

My mom is dieing in front of my eyes and I can't just sit by and watch. Please help anyone. Her medical condition is getting out of hand.

She has immense chest pains every other day and often holds her chest even when walking when she is considered "well." She went to the hospital in an ambulance last week, and now I wonder if she is gonna make it.

Today.. she told me she thinks she is gonna die. I can't deal with being a teenager without a mom.

Anyone idea on what the disease, cancer, or etc... is will be greatly appreciated. The doctors still don't know what it is.

Also any ideas on how to alleviate the pain? Maybe aspirin?

Lets say that you have HPV right?? And along with the virus you have an outbreak of Genital Warts. So you get the warts frozen off by your doctor. Even if all the warts are completely gone, if you have unprotected sex with your partner will they still get the virus? Or can they only get the virus during the time of your outbreak?

Proper nutrition and other more natural treatments can be used to treat a lot of problems rather than just using drugs so often. There is a lot of research showing that cancer thrives in an acidic body, and cannot survive in a normal, more alkaline state. I've heard of too many doctors that refuse to admit that natural cures really work. I can't understand why they would refuse something that works, something that really helps. Is there a way to improve our health system?
