This startred after i went shopping. When i came back i felt shiverly and my bones ached.. I felt a tingling sensation on the left side of my neck.Also i found it hard to eat as i had a mouth ulcer.
I took Paracedmol and rested.
The next day i felt better, and resumed my day, getting ready for work the next day, i still had this tingling sensation and this time i could see small lumps on the left side of my face, but i ignored it.
The next morning i had a fever and could not go to work and i visited the out-patients ward, and i have Chicken Pox

My son has just developed mild flu symptoms. He is taking an flu antiviral so he should be non contagious by Friday. The Doc won't give the antiviral to the other 2 kids. "They have to show symptoms" The problem is we are going to visit grandfather in Michigan on Sat. for a week. Grandfather is 82 and in good health. He did get the flu vacine this fall. Should we still go? One other thing is that Santa delivered all the kids gifts to Grandfathers house. So if we stay home the kids won't get any Santa gifts. Of course if anyone else gets sick after Friday we won't go at all, but if my son is the only one and he will be noncontagious by Friday should we still go? We could go on Sunday to give it an extra day. Any advice would be great.

I think it is possible that I have a tapeworm infection from undercooked meat. What medication would I use to treat that? Fortunately enough in Mexico I don't need a script for getting medications so I can just go get it from the store without first seeing a doctor.

A friend of mine was diagnoed with Lyme Disease in November after his vision began deteriorating, memory loss, fatigue, mood swings, and other symmtoms similar to those associated with Lyme Disease began to worsen. After several weeks of treatment for Lyme Disease the Doctors have noticed little or no improvement and have ordered him to discontinue treatment as they do not know what illness he has.

What should he do?
What other diseases/ illnesses might it be?

Thanks

There are plenty of anti-virals on the market, and plenty of strains of cold viruses. We use anti-virals for lots of other viral infections, but not the common cold. Is it that we risk the development of resistance?
