When i pee it hurts a little once im done. But the worst part is afta i wipe. When i look at the toliet paper theres a lil bit of residue thats like a light pink n a little bit of brown. What does that mean? Im not sexually active and never have been so I know its not a std. But what else could it be. Certain people say its a bladder infection but what does that mean that i pee too often?? I know its not my period because my period is always on time and always last the same amount of time. N its been week and a half since my last period. So can you guys help me out. Tell me what you think it could be and how i could have got it. And what i should do. Please dont tell me to go to the docters. Im very afraid of hospitals. But if its that serious let me know the consequences if I dont go. Thank You!

For years, my right eye has gone through phases where it waters uncontrollably. This leads to redness and dryness, even if I just blot the tears away. It is especially bad in the wind. This also happens if use certain types of mascara. I can not pinpoint exactly what I am allergic to so I don't know what to avoid. Any comments or suggestions about this? Second, I have bed bugs. I have seen these bugs for years but did not know what they were. I've even found them in my car (obviously transported by me). The place I am living now is where I grew up. I lived there off and on over the years. I know this place has had bugs for at least 15 years - even if maybe they went away and came back? I don't know. I doubt the bugs are confined to just my room - I know the other members of the house won't want to 'exterminate' the issue because of the inconvenience and money. What do I do about this? I frequently sleep at my friend's house - do you think I brought the bugs to his house?

After a camping trip I started having weird symptoms, I weathered them for a while before finally seeing a doctor. The doctor did no tests and said I was really over anxious, so I went off again for a few more months but more symptoms came and the others never went away. Its been about 6-7 months now and I still have these symptoms which sound a lot like Lyme Disease, I'm seeing a doctor Tuesday. So will it be too late for any effective treatment or what? I'm 18 years old.

I have a test on Epilepsy tomorrow for my health class however I missed a class and I need to know what a persons blood pressure would be after the seizure, also heart rate, pulse. oxygen level and how long would these stay "abnormal" before returning to normal. I know all the other symptoms such as convulsions, dizziness and ect... but i don't know what the "internal symptoms" would be. And would it be possible for everything to return to normal before paramedics arrive?

Thanks

I was dignosed with a Pituitary Tumor about 3.8cm, larger than a golfball, a little over a week ago. I have likely had this for many years, I have always had problems with headaches, emotions, mestrual problems, eye problems. all of the symptoms, a tumor causes, I have had for years, but never once did my doctor tell me its possible that I could have a tumor. Now that it is dangerously large and my vision is becoming really screwed up among other things, noises in my ear is what finally made my doctor send me for an MRI, which of course located the tumor. I have been to a neurosurgeon and ear, throat, eye specialist, who both will be doing my surgery. They will go up through the nose and lance the tumor to drain it, then use medication to break up whatever is left behind. I have been having double vision and problems being clumbsy (more than usual), problems thinking, remembering, and having normal conversations. Its scary, but I feel blessed that its not anywhere else in the brain

I've had and MRI and nerve conduction studies because I had severe sciatica type pain that radiated down my right arm and could not turn my head in either direction. Unfortunately, it affects a few discs but I can't recall the "C" numbers.

Please help us - my preacher is in his mid 30's. He was perfectly well until just recently. He can't do anything without getting fatigued - just preached a message wears him out. He also has pain all over. He has been to his family doctor and to a tropical disease doctor (he went to the Phillipines over the summer) and all of his blood work and scans have came back normal. He feels so helpless. He is going to preach on Sunday but is going to sit down in front of the congregation to preach. I suggested a homeopathic doctor, one to work with herbs, etc. I also know a lot about fibromyalgia and that may be his problem. He is only 39 and has been in great shape. Any answers? He is a precious jewel to us. Please help.

My doctor is out of town and I have an appointment schedulled for tuesday but i´m kind of worried that´s why I´m asking this here.
I had some urine tests and although everything seems normal there are 5 mg/dl of cetonic bodies in it, I know this happens to diabetics but I´m not, there´s no sugar in my urine and the level of sugar in my blood is normal (88). I had other tests 3 weeks ago and the cetonic bodies were zero. What it this and what does it mean.
