Other - Diseases - December 2006

And, any info on time it will take for the ravages of Hep-C to make it unbearable to live with it any more. I'm a stage 1, with minimal (level 2) inflamation & I already am disabled (literally) with exhaustion & muscle pain/spasms. I have a history of depression, diabetes & other stuff which makes me a poor candidate for interferon/riboviron treatment. Also, I'm not sure I want to take the risk of blindness,(more likely with diabetics like me) no matter how "uncommon" it is. Notice its not listed as "Rare". nor do I like the idea of facial or ocularmotor palsey--it doesn't say that's temporary or reversable. How long do I have before the discomfort of the disease makes suicide look real good?

When I go to the bathroom to have a bowel movement no matter how much time I spend wiping myself within an hour I feel this painful, itching and burning sensation in my anal area. So I rush back to the bathroom and wipe and it looks like I never wiped myself at all and sometimes there may be a small amount of blood. What can I do to stop this situation from occurring?

I need to know if there are any drugs to strengthen the LES. I am already taking prevacid, to stop the production of acid from the stomach. But this is not enough to keep fluids from going up. I need a drug to strengthen my sphincter muscle. I had such a TERRIBLE and uncaring GI doctor, that is why I am turning to yahoo. maybe someone else out there is a GI, an RN, or has been perscribed a drug by their doctor...

I noticed a small lump behind my right ear today. It's hard and it hurts a little. It hurts like a bruise but its a lump. It's behind my ear lobe but its not on my ear its on my head/neck region, where the skull ends and muscle starts. I don't know if this makes sense. I'm trying to explain it the best I can. I'm a little worried and I am going to make a doctors appointment, but has anyone ever had a lump behind their ear before? Can anyone tell me what medical conditions are related to lumps behind the ear? I've also had bloody noses lately too. Could this be related to the lump? I would appreciate serious answers. Thanks to those who answer this.

I can't seem to figure out why, other than the fact that I was drinking somewhat heavily. That has stopped and I'm trying to drink more water instead, but the puffiness is still there. Any suggestions on how I can address this issue?

To anyone who has this problem. I just had a baby in Oct. And now it is awful to go to the restroom. It feels like a million sharp razor blades cutting through my skin but there is no blood or anything like that. What could this be and how do I fix it?

recently the doctor said he suspected glandular fever & sent him for a blood test.He also gave him a perscription for ciprofloxacin250mg tablets.As he was later told at A&E by another doctor,these drugs were inappropriate for his condition & could have been responsible for additional symptoms he presented when he started taking them ie.difficulty swallowing & breathing,tremors, severe sweating to name a few but what was very noticeable was the smell that accompanied the sweating.The palms of the hands in particular emmited a very distinct aroma of cheese! The doctor at A& E had no idea what would cause it.Anyone got any ideas?!

My sister has been sick for years but no doctor has ever been able to give her a diagnosis. She has had the opportunity to be treated/evaluated at Mayo Clinic, but will be unable to pay for her treatment/testing. They think she may have a condition called Celiac Artery Compression Syndrome.
