Sorry this is long, bear with me.

Monday evening I started getting a stuffy and runny nose. Tuesday it got a little worse. Wednesday I was really weak so I was taking sudafed and slept most of the day. Thursday it was a little better but I began coughing. By thursday night the cough was getting really bad that I woke myself up numerous times. Even though I was taking Tylenol and cough drops. Thursday night I took some Tylenol cold and flu night time pills and still woke up coughing. It is a horrible sounding cough. Friday morning I was going to do a "walk in" at the doctors but I woke up too late. The cough seems to be getting alot worse, and there's yellowish phlegm. The doctor doesn't have an answering service and won't be open until Tuesday. I have tried all kinds of OTC meds and they aren't working. I don't know what to do. I don't think it's serious enough for a trip to the hospital but I really don't know what to do.

I was just informed the other day that I have shingles on my back. They hurt something terrible and the itch is very bad. I am taking antibiotics. The blisters are starting to dry up and the pain and itch are getting worse. If anyone that has or does have shingles could give me some tips on how to calm the itch down I would appreciate it very much. I know that there probably isn't anything besides my pain pills for the pain. How long do the shingles usually last? After the blisters are gone do you still have the bad pain?

I have asked my doctor all these questions, but I was just wondering if someone on here could share their stories with me. I guess you could say I am looking for a first hand experience.

Thank you to all who take the time to answer all my questions.

I have asperger's syndrome, and I've been taking seroquel for my bipolar. However, I've noticed after I'm taking this medicine (100 in the morning and 150 at night) that I've been going through a side effect called, anterograde amnesia. During class, as soon as a teacher says out loud directions of what we're suppose to do, I'd have to ask again because I wouldn't remember anything that the teacher told me to do. I may have an aid to assist with me, but there's no aid around me to help remember telling my parents about important phone calls (even if I write them down, I'll forget to give the messages to them) or to remember that I need to exercise or take a shower or study. I may talk about a subject that I already discussed with either a teacher, friend, or family member. I called my doctor and he told me that he's never heard of this problem or any complaints. He's cutting me down to 50 miligrams in the morning and 150 at night. So, does seroquel have this memory problem?

Hi, everyone, I am living in Taiwan. I am the gril with SLE(Lupus) which is an unfamiliar disease to the general public. Some of our group feel shamed for having it because the elder people told them that they have SLE due to having done something bad in previous life. So, I am just curious about that will you tell your friends or coworkers if you have SLE? Why yes, or no? Thanks.

my ankels and feet swell really bad and they hurt all the time,if they are massaged the swelling goes down right away, and as soon as the massaging stops and i stand up they swell right away. the bones on my ankels are very sore to the touch, i went to the dr and he said i have imflamatory disease and put me on 800mgs of ibuprophen and it worked for like a day and a half and then stopped working.as long as im laying down they dont swell however as soon as i wake up and hang my legs over the edge of the bed to get up i can feel something like fluid maybe rushing down my legs to my feet, i went to the er and they ruled out my heart, and gave me steroids for 5 days and it worked until the 6th day and then it started all over again.im having blood work done to see if they can find anything reason for this, but im really concerned about this and its hard to wait around, so if anyone has an ideas as to what this may be plz let me know, they also itch when they swell, thansk in advance

It was not too long ago that I lost my friend Helen to AIDS. She was such a wonderful person. She was very kind and caring. Helen never disclosed what she had until the end, because she was too proud. She didn’t want her friends to worry about her condition at the time. She pretended that she had the flu each time we invited her to come over for dinner. She had all the excuses in the world. I love that friend of mine! What bothers me is why did God allow her to contract such abominable disease as AIDS? Isn’t God powerful? Why didn’t God help her? I am still wondering why such a beautiful person as Helen had to die at a very early age of 25.
