For about 8 or 9 weeks now i've been having constant kidney pains in my loin area. now i am also getting flank pains. my urine is cloudy, i've been on 4 different types of antibiotics and none of them have seemed to work. i have also done 4 urine tests - the first 2 showed i had a kidney infection, and the last 2 showed i haven't got a kidney infection. i have little appetite, i'm tired, always cold and i always feel nautious. i am stressing out a lot more, so i don't know whether this has anything to do with the pains? the flank pains feel as if i've pulled a muscle and are only a bit tender at the moment, so i'm not sure whether this has anything to do with my kidneys? the pain is from the bottom of my ribs to just above my hip (at the sides of the kidneys obviously). but it is just giving me really bad lower backache and it doesn't hurt when i wee. if the tests have shown that there is no infection there, could these pains just be because i'm just getting over a kidney infection?

I have small blisters in between the toes of just one of my feet. Why have i got them? I get the impression that I have spread them due to olaying with them. I tend to feel uncomfortable when my feet are too hot could it have anything to do with that?
How can I get rid of them?

Dad could not get his 9th chemo treatment this week..cuz of low platelets in his blood.. the number is 71,000.00...(something like that).. we are hoping next week..he will be able to. Has anyone had this situation?.. What is the right number, that makes an oncologist feel comfortable..giving a patient chemo?.. Dad has stage 3 colon cancer..and is on Folfox program.. suppose to do 12 treatments in all..

Any feedback...would be appreciated.. Thanks, Christine

I got tested 13 weeks after exposure, after wainting a week, I got my results back which were negative. I am still waiting on Hep C and cyphillus ( but they can tell me that over the phone)

How likely is it that I'm actually positive? The doctor looked at me and said that I could come back in at the 6 months mark just for my own peace of mind, but not necessary.

What should I do?

Hi everyone, hope you're having a good day.
As most of my friends on here know I had a servere allergic reaction, not the type where your throat closes up & you can't breath. I had blisters everywhere, my throat looked as if it had been slashed, & I had servere aptopic ezema. I was almost hospitalized to keep the blisters under control because they were becoming infected & making me ill. Anyway it was horrible, I had an allergy test 4 weeks ago & I got the results back this morning, it turns out I'm am allergic to Cats, dogs & housemites I have grown up with cats & dogs so I'm not convinced my two cats are the problem as this is the first time this has happened, housemites on the other hand maybe, I'm a very clean person but what else can I do to keep housemites minimal or non exsistance? I'm also thinking of asking to be tested for food allergies which I think the Dermotologist will deny me as he thinks the allergic reaction was airborn not food intolorance.

I'm 18 years old and I'm in grade 12. This is my last year of high school.

My CP doesn't affect me enormously, I live an active life style. I'm doing well in school, I'm not a straight A student however my marks are good.

Do you think the army would accept a male with a mild case of CP ? I'm not overweight and I do not have any muscle spasms. I'm well built and healthy.

My mom is terminal with kidney cancer and was recently told that she is no longer treatable. We were told 2 weeks to 2 months as her time line. That was a month or so ago. I was talking on the phone with her last night and she started saying she was tired and she just had a feeling that it was coming soon. So I am wondering if you believe that the dying patient knows when they are going to die??
