I have this bump on my side that looks like a spider bite(I get them frequently from camping so much) but because of the MRSA scare I think that it might be MRSA.

It doesn't hurt,itch, sting, or cause me pain at all but it did have dry crusty skin over it though. It looks like it has 2 entrance points but I can't tell. All it is is red and raised a lottle bit like a spider bite! PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Is it possible to get one from eating 'dirty' food? Like fruits/veggies that haven't been washed? If not, how else could you get one?

Just curious, thanks. =)

My stomach is too lazy at digesting the foods. Everyday I at least go to toilet several times and just little amount is disposed.
what kind of foods do you offer? Which ones should I avoid?
by the way, I'm male, 19.

I was wondering if anyone knew how long it takes alcohol to leave your system for a urine test? I went to a wedding on Saturday night and drank from 7:00pm until around 2:00am. I was told I had to take a drug/alcohol urine test on Monday for a job that I was offered. I took the test on Monday around 11:30pm. Would there still be alcohol in my system after 33 hours have past? It would help if people that actually went through this answered.

I have had a weak, bad, unstable stomach since i was a kid...
i hardly went to doctors because they were so random.
Recently i went to a doctor who told me i had irritable bowel syndrome, so i already know what it is. I know im not supposed to eat sour, spicy hot stuff, and also coffee, tea. I had medication which was of no use. In the past, i also had a tube go down to my stomach to examine but also nothing was found.
I recently banned myself from drinking milk and eating milk-related stuff such as chocolate and cheese because i find its safer not to eat them, and also oily food/snacks.
I've also banned myself from all kinds of drinks except water, milo and occasionally apple juice.

Nothing seems to work. The pain is still unbearable, unexpectable. its going to drive me crazy after almost a life of dealing with stomach pain almost every week. No particular food triggers the pain.

I wish someone could tell me what to do, because im so stressed out, and i have a hemorrhoid as well

I have had a dull ache in my side for a week, then thursday and Friday last week I suffered what my doctor called Renal Colic and was screaming in agony! I had an injection and some tablets. the spasms have subsided but still 3 days later I feel sick and still ache like crazy. It still feels like someone is stabbing me when I move. Is this normal, have I passed the stone? Thanks x

I posted recently about my 13 year old daughter who suffers constant headaches all day, every day. For months now.
A CT scan showed no infection in her sinuses...although most of the pain appears to be above her eyes, under her eyes and near her temples.
The headaches cause painful earaches (although her ears are okay) daily.
Tonight she complained of sore eyes. She said they felt puffy and her eyes stung!
I have been taken her to a doctor who does not know what's causing it... he ran a blood test yesterday although I'm unsure what that will show??
Poor thing is suffering EVERY day...
The 'eye thing' is a new symptom though.
Any ideas what could be causing all this??

It is not stress, overtiredness, hunger etc...we have ruled all those out.

I have been sick on and off for a few weeks suffering from sulfur burps, and stomach pain. I went to the Dr. who gave me Prevacid but this makes it worse as it is lowering my acid and preventing digestion. I get a bitter taste in my mouth. If I burp I vomit.

Please give me some cures for this. I cant live like this. I have a 15 month old to care for. I'm pleading for some advice.

I had done the endoscope the other way round but nothing was found, only some minor ulcers in the rectum but this thing is still there. Now i am thinking of taking another endoscope through the mouth to the stomach. I also want to ask like if the problem is the stomach, what symptoms can i experience? i don't vommit and this problem has been there for a year now and had tried so many tests like sonars and took many medications but nothing changing it. Please help cos i have ran out of ideas now and even quited school.

My nephews mother likes to "exaggerate" EVERYTHING. now she is saying that her son has MRSA. in her words " he only has it a little bit and is not contagus. they gave him a cream to put on it. came up on his back friday morning and went away friday night, then came back saturday morning on his face and moved to his stomach on saturday night. but he is fine and is still allowed to go to daycare." i'm confused because the she said the dr. did not do a culture or anything basically just looked at his red spot and said it was MRSA and gave him cream, no antibiotics just the cream. does this make since to anybody? they are supose to come over for thanks giving but i dont want my son to catch MRSA and she lies so much i dont know what to do or beleive.

My friend has Recurrent Tonsillitis that occurs at least 3 times a year.

When it happens she gets Acute tonsillitis: characterized by a sudden sore throat, difficult or painful swallowing, tender lymph nodes in the jaw and neck, and, occasional airway obstruction.

Her doctor suggested tonsillectomy but she is apprehensive about it and would like to find out more about alternative permanent cures (if there are any)..

Many thanks in advance for your advice! ^,^)/

hi, I'm in my early 20's and have a hearing impairment.
I'm having a test in a couple of weeks to see if I need hearing aids.

My hearing is bad enough that if I'm not concentrating or looking at the person who is speaking I either don't hear them speak at all or I hear their voice but not the words.
I have to have the subtitles on when I watch the T.V and I have terrible trouble hearing people on the phone.

The strange thing is I speak quite softly and quitely and I can hear myself speak no problem, which makes people think I don't have a hearing problem, but am just being rude and that I only hear when I wish to. Neither of these things are true but that is what people think.

My question is, from what I've said above do you think I will be offered hearing aids?

Also, how much hearing loss must you have to have hearing aids?
