Okay try to make this quick, got sick about 1.5 months ago VERY ill, severe headache, nausea, could keep NOTHING down, even wretching w/out vomitting, pain in lower back, basically REALLY sick. Went to Dr. told me was the flu, gave me antibiotics possible blader infection, got antibiotics & anti-nausea/vomitting pill & shot. About 2-2.5 weeks later STILL cloudy strong smelling urine still not feeling very good. Back to Dr, gave me another antibiotic over the phone as I couldnt get in to see him. About 3-4 days later flu symptoms coming back BAD, same thing headache vomitting etc etc......this time went in to see Dr. (still hv very cloudy strong smellin gurine too) did urinalisis(sp) found that I have a urinary tract infection containing the ecoli virus!!! so the question is this....is it okay to have sex when you have a urinary tract infection AND is ecoli contagious this way?? Im currentlyonmy 8th day w an antibiotic that is effective against ecoli.

I've read a lot about Bird Flu and the need to prepare. I've also read that people are taking precautions. I don't believe it, I haven't seen any or heard from anyone who has.. So, here's the question ... have you?

This is really strange! I have had the most unusual illness. I have been having a tingling in the left arm, weak and having heart palpitations weak legs and muscles and strange neurological sensations. So is my 11 year old son! He has had this off and on after a bad fever and strep but doc says no about rheumatic fever since he had been treated! (diagnosed it as acid reflux) Now my 4year old daughter told me today that her hand was "itchy" and her legs too. She has been so weak and tired. We have continually been sick -like every two - three weeks. They have had strep farengitis sinusitus and such. Have had rashes high fevers and even boils in recent months. I am looking for a better doctor. I have no faith in the one we have seen for the past two years here. He does not seem concerned and says that "I am reading to much into this !!!!"
We all have dark circles under our eyes. Also felt dizzy and stomache aches diareah. Any one know of this? What can I do?

2007-03-07 14:32:29 · 2 answers · asked by Baby Julie due 5/12 3

My 13 month old has the beginning of pink eye. His doctor prescribed him eye drops but its not easy getting them in his eyes and he cries and cries so all the drops get cryed out. I don't like putting them in his eyes anyway... his doctors also said something about warm water rinse, how do I do that? Any tips on how to get him to keep his eyes open?

Hey guys, have a questions for you. If you got someone else's fresh blood in your hair, how to do you wash it out and clean your hair after. What if that blood was HIV or Hep C positive? Is it possible to get anything from blood in your hair? Will a normal shower with hot water and regular shampoo do the trick, or does someting more drastic need be used? Should I cut off the part of hair that came into contact with the blood? Please help I am freaking out.
Thanks

Just look at a couple of answers from there. You always get the conspiracy theorists with most popular subjects today, and here we have it folks, people who don't believe there is HIV. Rather than give links to poorly managed and researched websites, can people give their reasons for not believing their is HIV?

Here's my proof there is:

Hello, have a friend who uses a cloth handkerchief....anyway, tonight he went to shake my hand, and i shook his. Never really thought about it until after. he regularly uses a handkerchief.....if I sanitized my hands once out of vision form him do you think I could get sick? I've also washed my hand pretty good since then, and sanitized them again...

I've had diarrhea, or however you spell it, for about 5 days now, and I haven't really been eating or drinking much of anything, so how do I know if I'm dehydrated or not? I need to know what to drink and eat to help me get over it, but I've tried almost everything.

It came on very suddenly two days ago. I woke up with a severe sore throat which soon turned into my nose running, tons of sneezing, a massive headache, and a massive earache. Last night I could barely sleep and felt like crap. I could barely function today and my nose is so stuffed up I cannot breathe. I'm freezing and think I might have a fever. Cold or flu? What should I take? I took Drixoral, which I used to love, but it didn't do crap. That's why I'm guessing it's flu. Any ideas?

i don't want to throw it away b/c it's a family heirloom and irreplacable, but i also can't clean it 'cause it's electric... what should i do?
also, i did this about one or two months ago and haven't touched it until today, which is what prompted me to ask the question. is it even still dangerous as far as e.coli/trichinosis/etc. go today after a month or two?
thanks for your input!
