What is MRSA? My school is warning us about MRSA what should I do? What are the symptoms?
Is there a website that I can see pictures, read, and get more informed about MRSA? Is there a treatment?

Ive had a swollen lymph node in my left neck for about 4 weeks now. It sometimes becomes painfull and sometimes it is not. It is rubbery, free to move and about 2cm in diameter. It has not grown since i initially discovered it and the doctor i visited was not at all concerned. He scheduled several blood tests which he claimed would rule out Leukimia and lymphoma.They came back normal and i am now just waiting for my antibodies test to come back.
Anyone else had this problem?

how long does it take to pass one? Also- could it take up to a month- and would they do xrays for this?? Or just cat scans and mris???

if you have a bladder infection would it make any sense to have an xray? My best friend says that she has to do this, but i think its just an excuse to get out of work!!

Is staph infection spreading rapidly anywhere else? I keep hearing about it in New York. Four people are infected in one school in my area. Five in another, i have no idea about my school, but im sure some people have it there to. And this is an extremly contagious infection. it could kill you. Does anybody have some information on this bug? Do you know anybody who has it?

I woke up yesterday with this swelling. I could not breathe through my mouth although I could still breathe through my nose. I immediately went to the emergency room. They suspected an allergic reaction. Treatment rendered was epinephrine spray and this reduced the size about 2/3. I was also given a steriod shot (medrol). I just did blood work for a full series of possible allergens...any thoughts???

I've been dating my boyfriend for almost a year now and he has mild cerebral palsy. He gets these 'cold chills'. That's what he calls them, but he doesn't know what causes them. He gets them frequently. When he's woken up, when he is driving, and when he is not 'cold'. Just at random times. He won't go to a doctor to ask about them and told me that he's had them for a long time. I just want to know if maybe these could be small seizures? It's scary because if he gets them while he is driving he could lose control of the car, and I just don't want to see him get hurt. Is it normal for someone with CP?

I have a slight cough and I can see that my tonsils are slightly red. Also there is pleghm stuck in my throat and when I cough it has a strange odor. Also it feels as if I have a lump in my throat(there isn't really one). I'm taking cough sryup, halls, etc. but they are making m drowsy and sleep a lot. What can I do and if it might be a infection, what can I do w/o having to go to the doctor?
