I don't have a sense of smell or taste.
1.Are smell and taste related?
2.Are there anyway you can get your taste and smell senses back?
3.Does anyone else here have a loss of smell and taste?

this is a skin related question. what is something that pops up like chicken pox but its not, it has a crusty thin white scab. when you scrap the top off it is red underneath? ointment is not helping.

I have a mild fever (99.9 degrees), and I just feel this constant urge to "pee", but when I go, it's not much,it hurts and it burns when I pass the urine...
If this is a bladder infection, are there any home remedies to stop the pain, until I can go see the doctor?

Thank you so much!

a doctor's visit is expensive. if the doctor does prescribe penicillin or one of its relatives, he will write a prescription for tablets or capsules, which you will have to take for 7-10 days.
when i was a kid (40+ years ago) the doctor would give you one shot in the butt. a few days later you were cured.
i realize that various bacterium require certain antibiotics to kill them, but few doctors actually swab your throat and grow and identify the particular bacteria that is infecting you. they just take a guess as to which is infecting you.
why can't i take the guess, buy the penicillin at the local feed store and save some money?
i don't think the oral meds work as well as the injectable ones, but most health insurance plans won't pay for a shot.
any comments?

some people claim that using rain water makes tea tasting a lot much better,
of course these people aren't bothered by pollution, germs, bacteria, and even viruses if you know what I mean.

One should just see how they catch rain water coming off their roof and funneled down into a filty mosquito infested conatiner.

In one incident I saw a large fish inside, They referred to it as their pet fish. Doesn't it ever poop in the water? hahaha.

and I don't get why we have to wear a mask, gloves and gown when we go to visit him in the Hospital. Every website that I have read on says that you can be a carrier and it is not harmful to healthy people. So is all this for his protection or ours??
Please help me make sense of this

I need the spelling for these...they will be phonetic as they are off a tape. These are antibiotics to treat staph. It sounds like Gapomycin, Sittersin, and intravenous backdrop. Thank you.
