After having the testicle removed (thats all they told me), shouldn't normal ejaculation return? I do not recall them saying other wise, it was stage one. And that ability has not returned. And the sex drive has really gone down, (no desire for it or solo sex).
Is this normal?

What am i allergic to? Sometimes a wake up and i'm ruined for the day, i sneeze and "itch" inside the nose and i feel weak the entire day, it never goes away during the day, i always have these allergy symptoms for the entire day. When this happens i can pretty much tell from the first moments when i wake up, if i'm going to be like this during the day. If i wake up and i feel good, then most probably nothing will happen. What can this be? P.s. There is no pet in the house.

I've just been diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. I'm told the prognosis is excellent, everything on my side, but I'm going to need 6 rounds of chemo, every 3 weeks for 15 weeks, each lasting about 6 hours. I'll be in as a day patient for them so no overnight stays hopefully, and I'm wondering where I stand with work.

I've spoken to some people who've done the R-CHOP treatment and they've all said I may well be able to work through it if my job was light and I reacted okay, but that the side-effects and fatigue got worse with each cycle so I'd have to see how it goes.

Where do I stand legally on this? Do I have to provide my employer with a certificate, and if so is it from my GP or my oncologist? Even if I do need time off it'll be a few days here and then, not a prolonged period. I should have asked the doctor at the hospital but it didn't occur to me at the time.

Thanks
Dreamer

I tried to get SSI and lost mostly because I am 44 years old. They said I can do these 4 jobs and I found one of them. I go to work just feeling horrible and by the time I get off I am worst. My legs get all swollen and my back is in some pain. The job is a sit down job and has no standing. Which I do stand up to just get feeling in my legs. My L-5- spondylolysis which is broke and I have degenerated disc disease in 3 lumbar joints. I wish that I can just be able to not work.

i had noticed these lil tiny red/flesh colored bumps at the edge of my lips a few weeks ago and since then they have gotten bigger and i used hot compresses (and i mean boiling hot) and one of them, (theres two) sorta popped up like a pimple but the white head on it was rock hard. well i figured... Stupidly that i would pop it and put hydrogen peroxide in there. well i sterilized the tweezers and very painfully popped that one. and put peroxide which bubbled ALOT and i left it alone. i asked my mom (she's a nurse) an she said i should have left them alone. well i knew i shouldnt have messed with it but i did anyways. i DO have Herpes type 1 (the fever blister one) and these arent normal fever blisters and the type i usually get are INSIDE the mouth. any ideas as to what they are?

But my cardiologist put me on blood thinner - metoprolol - and when I went for my 3month check up my blood pressure was 90/50. I thought that was low but was told it just meant my heart didn't have to work as hard. I also take xanax for my panic disorder and xanax also lowers my heart rate. So - I don't want to take the metoprolol and need something for my heart which won't make my blood pressure so low. Would really appreciate some suggestions. Thanks so much.

I want to get a cute kitten for my 1 yr. old and my 4.5 yr old. Not to mention I want one too..lol!! Is there a pill or something I could take for the mild hives,sneezing, itchy-watery eyes, itchy throat that I get from cats?? There's got to be something! But I don't want crazy side effects either. Do I have to go to a doctor? Does the medicine relieve the allergies completely?
