My dog stayed in my room night before last and this last night I woke up with a couple of bites on my stomach. I got kinda paranoid thinking it was bed bugs and stripped by bed, started washing all my clothes, etc. They are very tiny, ichy, reddish colored, and raised a little bit. Which do you think it is? Either way I'm cleaning/spraying but if it's bed bugs we'd probably need to get an exterminator. What do you think?

If you have a cut or scrap, or some sort of injury that you usually but alcohol or hydroperoxide on..dont! Yes it will kiss the germs, but it will also kiss your things that fight off infection! So my doctor said don't put anything ,on those type of wounds, that you wouldn't put in your eye, so i recoment contact solution = ]

I'm 42yo, both of my paternal grandparents had Diabetes Type 2, my father is borderline and holding steady with diet, I have Native America blood, I've been obese for 14 years, don't exercise or eat especially well. My dr. regularly checks my fasting blood sugar yearly - last time was about May or June '07 and it was 100 on the dot. He wasn't concerned. My mother, a former diabetes nurse educator WAS concerned.

For the last two years I've taken lithium, which tended to dehydrate me. I've been off lithium for a month and am now on Effexor, Risperdal, and Vistaril.

I'm still immensely thirsty and have to go to the bathroom a lot. I feel dehydrated a lot and have problems with constipation all the time. I'm hungry all the time. I recently GAINED 10 pounds due to overeating during an extended depressive episode.

Should I make an appointment and insist on another fasting glucose and an A1C?

Thoughts, comments?

Molly, my out of control cat bit me several times as I was trying to stop her from chewing up my books. It's red. It has like welt spots, sort of like ant bites surrounding the actual bites. And there are scratches. I cleaned it up, and put neosporin on it because I have no hydrogen peroxide. But it's still bleeding a little. I also have no bandages. I guess you can say, I have no first aid kit! My question is how do I treat the cuts? And also, I have no car so I am unable to get tenanus shot over the next two days until someone can take me.

My brother is 54 yrs old and was just diagnosed with prostate cancer with a Gleason score of 5. His PSA was 4.25. The biopsy showed that he only had traces of cancer on the right side of his prostate and it was limited to that area. He is in excellent health and very active, and has not shown any signs of any urinary problems.

He is considering the treatment option of "watchful waiting". What are your thoughts on this vs possibly robotic surgery? Some doctors prefer surgery when the patient is this young. Thanks for your inputs on this.

Well here is the problem. An hr before he got dizzy he ate a sandwhich and some pop. Then he got dizzy. i dont understand. Its like his sugar was low. He dont have diabetes either. Why would he get dizzy and lightheaded if he ate a sandwhich ealier and pop earlier it dont make no sense to me. Well any ways after he got dizzy and lightheaded he ate some peanut butter and jelly sandwhiches then he was fine after he ate that i dont understand. When he was dizzy and before he ate i did take his blood to see how high or low his sugar was just to see what it was. it was around like 142. Now i know that is not to detect his condition but i still wanted to check. But we are very stumped by this. We dont know what it could be. Help thanks much.

ok, i started weight watchers in January 2007 and by april i had lost like 40 pounds so i decided to start walking and jogging I would walk for about forty five minutes and then jog for like 15.on June 29th i was sitting at home and my heart started to beat faster like racing and then slowed down. After that happened my left arm started to get numb and i started to freak out which probably did not help the situation. I went to the doctor and they did and ekg exam and they said that i was ok and that i probably had a panic attack. Well now it Dec and to date i have lost 85 pounds. I constantly worry that im going to have a heart attack and sometimes my chest starts hurting and i'd like to think thats it's all in my head but sometimes i think that it could be something really serious. I have stopped walking and jogging because im scared that i will have a heart attack and drop dead. I am constantly worrying about it and people tell me that it's all in my head and not to think about it.

not that I have to worry about it or anything, because I don't do that, but I'm just wondering. I read that there's a small chance you can get herpes, is that true? Name more if there are.

It's a dangerous chemical that is used in pesticides, but now is being used in foods. Nearly all of the Earth's oceans and resevoirs contain this deadly chemical. Thousands of people die every year from an overdose of di-hydrogen monoxide and millions suffer from it's other effects(exesive urination and sweating, and occasionally vomiting). This chemical is also found in nearly all carbonated beverages and juices. Something needs to be done about this deadly chemical.
