The meds I have been taking for years has not changed and I went through a surgical menopause years ago. I have had a previous positive TB test but have never developed any symptoms. I'm just not finding anything to read on regarding this other than menopause. I'm at my wit's end. It's not as profuse as 'classic' nightsweats and it occurs at all hours, round the clock. Sweat for about five minutes then I am fine a couple times an hour. Anyone have a clue????

It was a patient of Dr.House. It was a teenage girl that can't feel anything; pain, touch, warmth. But yea.. if you remember that, does anyone know the medical/scientific word for that condition.

Ok, there is this weird insect looking bite that has appeared on 3 different places of my body, and different times. I want to know what this could possibly be. The bite hurts when i push on it. It is a bump, that has a redish color and at times it looks like a dark/purple/brown color too, along with the red. And in the center is a dot looking circle filled with puss. And when i pop it, puss comes out and then it bleeds.

I'm not trying to be gross, but i does sound disgusting.
Sorry.

I would like pictures and/or information...if you know what i'm talking about.

Web pages and links would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a ton.

PS: Serious answers only....PLEASE :D

eg. Friend's Granny - nitrazepam stopped. Spent 2 years on anti-hypertensive drugs (4 different) feeling dreadful. Now sleeping badly, but scared to visit GP as not willing to take more BP drugs. Just hopes if she has a heart attack or stroke it's a big one!
eg. Tramadol,given for severe headaches following neurosurgery years ago - quantity now reduced. Also refusing anti-hypertensives. Just had mastectomy. Scared of inadequate pain relief.
Neither is suicidal. Both drugs ? addictive, but for someone over 70 & under medical supervision does it matter?
Neighbour just died - massive stroke. Last few years miserable - anti-hypertensives again. Was it worth it?
It's like medicines by rote. don't these people count as individuals?

I had my moustach waxed at a salon and for some reason this guy decided to do my chin and under my lips... needless to say he burned me and the doctor said it was only 1st degree.. he gave me antibiotics though for infection. My question is that it scabbed the next day, then the scab fell off on day 3... it was pinkish and now I have these hard scaly bumps.. what is this?? Do I have to be concened with scarring or a mark. It looks like a raised jagged line about an inch long right at the corner of my mouth till about my chin. I just do now want any marks and I do not understand what these little pimple looking things are!

I had a TSH blood test in OCtober and just now found out the results. My endocrhinologist told me to start takign the sample medicine she sent with me. She gave me this BEFORE she got the results of the TSC, and told me she'd let me know if I should take it. She gave it to me becasue she thought It likely I had hypothyroidism.

Anyway, I've started taking it, but I'm concerned... I found out it is almost the lowest dose this company manufactures.. only 75 mcg (synthroid). I don't have another appointment with her until January.. Shouldn't we try to find out if this dose is high enough??.. I have struggled with my weight for years, and I am hoping that I have found an answer (and some help with weight control)..

Should I reccomend a re-test in a few weeks to see how it's affecting my thyroid levels?? Because.. maybe this dose wont be high enough.. I really wouldn't want to wait till Feb (my appoitment is Jan 30) to find out that I need a stronger dose!!
