My Mom has Lupus and it was VERY hard for me and my sister growing up. She got addicted to her pain pills and sleeping pills, she tried to kill her self and she is very depressed. Im not real sure what kind of Lupus she has but she has weird blackouts, bone detection, grandma seizures, headaches, she got like EVERYTHING taken out of her stomach... The list goes on. I was just wondering how others deal with it? My Mom didnt take it so well... :(

Becasue it has taken me a long time to find out what type of caner I am dealing with here.

I'm trying this question again because most people misunderstood what I was asking.

I had a vasectomy 4 1/2 weeks ago. The scar - on my scrotum - hasn't fully healed. It's almost like it's scabby. No blood or anything, just like the skin over it hasn't fully healed back to normal.

I had a 1-night stand last night.

I had SAFE SEX WITH A CONDOM.

However, if any of her fluids got on the scar area, am I in any danger?

thanks.

Hi
I have a really nasty cold at the moment and last night, noticed a lump under my arm that is also quite painful. I'm assuming it's just a swollen gland due to the cold but you know how the imagination runs away when you're awake at 3am surrounded by tissues!!!
Do I need to see my doc about this lump or is it just because of my cold?

Thanks

So my drains kept backing up in the bathroom and I got online to do some research for home remedies before paying buco bucks to have a plumber come out. Results were dishsoap + bleach + hot water = ferocious flush and no burping in the shower and sink. No one said anything about a sore throat, cough, and nausia. I laid in bed most of the day thinking I had a fever, and after having the windows open for a while, I started feeling better. I'm drinking lots of liquids, but I don't know if I should be scared of any lingering gases. I still don't feel well and I don't know if that's the problem.

On Wed. I took my son & I to the doctor because I had a sore throat (quite bad) & he'd had a fever the night before & in the morning. They took swabs of my son & my throat & it turned out negative for an infection. Anyways, the fever went away but my son has been sick since..not eating etc. On Sat. we took my 2 year old son to emergency b/c he had swollen gums with white spots on them & white spot on his tongue. His mouth looked infected. He was diagnosed with herpangina (common virus among children, foot & mouth one I believe). I was also diagnosed with it (I had a white spot on my tonsil area but it was mild). Anyways, today my son's mouth seemed to not have improved so we took him to a walk-in-clinic to get a second opinion. The doctor wasn't sure if he's got an infection or a virus in his mouth so he prescribed an antibiotic. I want to start giving it to him tommorrow morning but I'm wondering if it's safe if he doesn't have an infection & it's a virus. HELP!!!

Does your body go numb and you can't feel a thing and does your heart stop pumping? Or is there more to it than that?

I have developed this small lump on the TOP of my left hand directly in between my pointer and my middle fingers. It is small like i said, smaller than a pea i suppose. It is very tender! Feels like a bruise, like maybe i injured my hand but i do not remember doing anything to it. It looks swollen only on that spot. slightly discolored like a bruise. The first thing i asked my sister was "can people get a blood clot in their hand?" that is what i wondered immediately. What do you think?

I brought the TCA solution on the Web and diluted it to 50%. I placed it no my tattoo and surrounding skin and left it there for 5-6 minutes. It's been 2 months already and the area is still pinkish red and prone to tearing. I've never had this kind of slow healing time before from anything done to my skin and that includes laser. I don't know what to do about this. I think my skin has been permanently damaged. The surrounding area is a variation of pickish red with some darker brown spots and other spots are lightened qiuite a bit. I really don't know what to do at this point. If anybody has any serious advice on the effects of TCA acid, please answer this question.

I've dealt with anxiety for almost half a year now and its really bothering me. I thought I was going to have a heart attack one day because my chest hurt, but it turned out to be the cause of costo chondritis. However, the doctor also said I had anxiety. Since that day, I've started to pay really close attention to my heart beat, and always find it hard to breathe only when i do pay attention to my breathing? How can I stop this anxiety problem? Also, my costo chondritis never healed, can that be causing the hard to breathe problem? I'm 16 btw. ty.
