my body toled me,if you have a food allergy and your partner has eaten large quantities of the food that you are sensitive to,you might develop an allergy reaction after love-making. the allergy can be present in semen , is this true?

Hi All,

This is a conclusion of what I am experiencing :

- blood in my urine ONLY once in the morning when i go to toilet after I woke up

- throughout the day the urine is clear

- Also I have a little ache on my lower back

- I've notice some foul smell on my discharge recently

- I've gone to see the doctor and now I'm on antibiotics for 5 days

- She did a urine test and said I have presence of white blood cells in my urine (which should not be presence at all).

- When I urine, I DO NOT feel any pain at all meaning I can pass urine smoothly.

- I often have to pass urine frequently especially at night (I woke up few times to pass urine) and I like to hold my urine.

- Many years ago, I used to pass urine with pain but the problem was settled after I drank cranberry juice.


My case is different to those mention. I only see blood in my urine in the morning after I woke up. I have frequent urge to urinate everyday. what is the problem?

i get gouty attacks an have become use to them an know how to treat 'em. back home (usa) everytime i got an attack my dr would give me "allopurinol" and some other med and sen me on my way. when i got my first attack in hina my gf went to the pharmacy and told them i had "the gout". she came back with an "otc" called "colchicine tablets". perhaps these are the same medss that my dr back home prescribed but each tab is 10mg. the tabs of the "other stuff" my dr presribed were 50mg. but being these ones (here) are an otc they probably had to make 'em 10mg each.

this last attack was pretty bad. i was popping the colchicine tabs like pez but it seemed to have no affect. and i was drinkin water like a horse and that seemed to worsen the attack. i went to the er and the dr gave me an IV of glucose and an otc called "saridon". which of course were both new treatments to me. he said in severe cases this treatment is needed.

It's a tightness/heaviness in my chest, but I don't think it's got anything to do with my lungs. I feel like I have to remind myself to breathe, otherwise I just don't, and I get light-headed, and it takes a great effort to take another breath. My doctor says it's stress, but that isn't exactly saying "take this and it will go away." Is it really stress?

Are there any sort of statistics on how many people who have a TIA, or transient ischemic attack, end up having a stroke afterwards? My boyfriend just had a TIA yesterday and has to go back up to the hospital tomorrow for a bunch of more tests at the Stroke Assessment Clinic, but in the meantime I am very worried. He is only 47 years old but has already had two open hearts surgeries, and a stroke in between those two surgeries. If anyone has any info about this I sure would be appreciative. Thanks!

(well since I've been sexually active) My son is 18months and I just recently got checked back in July for Chlamydia, AIDS, Gonnorreahea, Herpes, Syphilis, and HPV. They all came back negative. The discharge doesn't smell and it's mostly white....what's wrong w/ me??! Everyday my undies are soiled w/ the secretions. Lot's of it! NO smell, just wet panties...lol. Is there a prob?
