I visited the while porcelain god at least 25 times in 4 hours and experienced stomach pains worse than being in labor. I didn't think the human body had that much fluid in it. Can that be a normal stomach flu? I still have the abdominal cramps but have not puked in 12 hours. What could it have been?

Recently I was helping my family clean out the guest room that my uncle was living in and in one of the drawers we found 4 small bottles/vials labeled mycobacterium tuberculosis 6x. When we asked him about them he didn't really give an answer but we know he got them from some natural homeopathic doctor he goes to. Does anyone know if this is a normal natural method of healing? We are kind of concerned as to why a person would have something like bottles of TB but we are still unsure if this is actually the disease or just some alternative medicine.

My entire family has gotten the flu in the past week. I have not, but my throat is starting to get sore, which may indicate that I, too am infected and that the symptoms will increase in the next few days.

What can I do in the next few days to prevent the virus from lasting so long (in me)? What can I do to prevent the symptoms from getting so severe? (My mom was vomitting almost every 10 minutes yesterday night!)
Is there something I can eat that might reduce the length/severity of the virus? Should I stop breathing around my family (LOL)? Should I drink more water? Etc. etc. etc...

Even if it only will do little help please post it! I dont want to get so sick!!!

Thanks!!!

A friend of mine recently donated blood to the Red Cross, and received a letter following her donation, asking her to no longer donate. They explained she tested positive for Hep C, but upon running additional tests, she came back negative.

She wasn't too concerned, since the only exposure she could have had was if the needle used to donate was contaminated. She hasn't exposed herself to the other risk factors for Hep C.

Well, she is about 6-7 weeks pregnant now, and the doctor just called her to come back in for additional testing, because she tested positive on their initial tests. She had explained the situation about the Red Cross results during her first prenatal appt, which is why they ran the tests.

I've found a couple sites with FAQs on conflicting results online, but nothing is incredibly detailed when it comes to this. Obviously, she's very concerned for her baby and herself, not to mention confused.

Can anyone shed some light on this? What's going on?

I had a few watery blisters (very small) on the side of my penis. They only lasted a couple of days. My son and daughter have it on their hands.

its been 60 days now and i tested negative on the standard hiv antibody test. i also took the western blot test and came out negative on that too. Are there any chances that i might still be hiv positive after theses tests. They did say i had a serious Genito urinary Infection. i have been having headaches and my lymph nodes have been swollen for about a month now. i have wet coughs occasional back and nipple pains my tounge has white coating on it. i have been on antibiotics for about a month now. could all these be symptoms of the GU infection or should i still be worried about Hiv . How long would seroconversion take place. the probable exposure date was august 19th

I've been offered the flu jab at work and am in two minds whether to accept or not. What's in it exactly? How does it stop the flu? I'm only in my 20's so do I really need it?

pretty much I have the white spots on the back of my throat every so often (sometimes you can see them sometimes you can't). And my throat is swollen making my voice sound rough. My throat doesn't hurt anymore though. Also does my stuffy/runny nose play into this any?
