I'm 20 years old. When I was 16 I lost my virginity and got HPV. I havn't had a breakout for 2 years now, and now i think I have one. I just started talking to this new guy who I like alot. I just assumed that my hpv was gone (your immune system can sometimes fight it off)...but now its back. He told me this one girl had herpes and she told him before they were going to do anything, and he bascially cut her off. The way he is, I know he would treat HPV like I have AIDS. I had this one guy in the past who I told and he treated me like I had AIDS. I tried to tell him that 80% of young people have it, they just don't all break out, and its like he didn't understand. All he could think of was : she has a disease. I really like this guy, so I would feel bad not telling him. But more than likely he has it to. My dr. told me its so common that i dont need to tell anyone because they wont understand, and will treat me like i have AIDS..any advice? thanks

He recently brought a cordless shaver from braun and it felt like it would put on his facial hair instead of shaving, the worst part is that it didn't shave like he wanted to. Plus I need something that won't give him a rash, since he has sensitive skin. I guess something like with the three little heads would be better like Norelco products, I just don't know which one.

Pseudoephedrine gives me bad heart palpitations and extreme anxiety, leads to chest pains. I've tried taking Zyrtec, which has Psuedo and the side effects made me feel so bad, I stopped taking the med.

I've asked the allergiest to change my medication, he gave me Allergra D, same thing bad side effects, mostly bad heart racing/anxiety, that last the entire time I was taking the med, once I stopped a few days later, side effects go away.

Is there any allergy medication, that doesn't contain Pseudo or similar ingredient, I can take to help with allergies ?? Or any allergy med that doesn't cause harsh side effects. Thanks for any help.

I have a family and Staph infection has been spread from my husband to myself and son. Doctor just gave us an antibiotic ointment for the boils, but heres the thing: My husband had MRSA since 2005 and was treated but still has reoccurences of boils sometimes. He gave it to me and now I have these small boils on me, now my son. I had them a long time ago (2005) too but i didnt know what they were until now. Now my son has them. I am scared to death of getting the infecction inside our bloodstream to the rest of our body.

So how does the Staph enter the bloodstream?

Are there any ways besides a cut or wound that it will enter the bloodstream?

Since my husband and I have had it since 2005, can the infection go through the skin into our bodies since we have had it for so long?

My son is only 9 months old, will it make him real sick?

My lips have always been dry and chapped since I was a baby, I am now an adult. My lips get dry skin and splits that bleed and I can't get rid of it, even if I can for a week or two it just comes back. I've tried almost every product and chapstick out there. What can I do, it's really starting to get to me. any help would be great, thank you.

Im going to make this as brief as possible...I have lost 22 pounds in 2 weeks, the doctor says i am severly dehydrated, though i drink more than i normally do (80-100oz a day), i had a level of 80 for ketones in my urine, but she says don't worry about it. I am not dieting, i am not starving, and no one has ever tested me for diabetes so i dont know if i have that. She said she is going to run a culture on my urine, and call her back in 72 hours and see what happens from there. Im concerned...should i see another doctor? Is this something that can cause problems quickly? or will waiting however long to see her again be ok? I also have a heart condition (cardiomyopathy). What should i do?

My sisters fiance has high liver enzymes. Apparently he has bacteria in his stomach causing some condition but the doctor said that is not the cause of his high liver enzymes. He does not drink much, quit smoking and is not overweight at all. What could it be????

ok so on sunday night i realized my upper left eyelid was a little itchy and was slightly (not even noticably) red. i put a hot washcloth over it for about 5-10 minutes and went to sleep. when i woke up the next morning, it seemed a little more noticable, and it seemed my left eyelid was swollen/pink in the corner & it appears that one eye is smaller than the other because of the swelling. after researching, i figured out it might be a stye, so i used some a home remedys to try & cure it. (i used a hot tea bag for 10 minutes then a freezing tea bag for 10 minutes).. i woke up today and it looked exactly the same..

the actual eye itself looks perfectly fine & white, it's just the eyelid that's irritated.. maybe it's an ingrown eyelash? i really can't figure this outt, i'm not doctor at all ;] helpp ?

I have a 3 year old grandson. Who diagnosed with allergies and asthma when he was 1 yr. old. It is very hard to decide if he has a bad cold or his allergies. But there is a lot of heavy yellow mucus and some bleeding from nose. Hard to breath. When he has a bad spell there can be upset stomach and vomiting. When there is vomiting there is a lot of heavy flem from the stomach. So I had a son that had this problem when he was young then he grew out of it at 2. So what do you think. My grandson has been on zytec also.

I had a screening done at work, and my T4 levels were high. Does this mean I need to worry about Hyperthyroid, or do all the other levels need to be high as well? All the other tests were in the normal range.

I know I need to talk to my doctor (I'm actually waiting for a call back from him), but was wondering what those out there thought.

Also, All the websites say the normal range is this.. and if yours is high, it's possible you have it. But how high does it need to be?
