General Health Care - January 2007

I had a tattoo removed 8 weeks ago, and while I was feeding her my 9 month old baby pulled the scab off and ate it. Since then a scab healed back over it, but I kept touching it and picking at it and in the end it started oozing green puss.

I had to go to my GP and was given strong antibiotics which have been making me feel sick and lethargic, and it's still leaking clear puss now.

Have you ever had anything similarly gross? Can you out-gross this?

I need milestones to look forward to, rather then looking back at how long its been. I've had difficulty breathing for a couple of days and thats passed, what next? and then?

No other symptons of illness.

And yes the doctor is aware, but have to wait a month before the test is repeated, any ideas?

I was excited to read his book, expecting a whole lot. I am ready to quit smoking and I thought this book would help me tremendously. I didn't get anything out of the book. Anyone else have any suggestions to help me? Anyone else not "get" the book? Didn't he say in it that he was hypnotized and that's what worked for him???

I need to know how to get rid of these. Is there any safe cheap way to do it? I have heard of laser removal, any advise on that. I just want them gone and not come back.

I really have trouble staying awake. And I mean, ALL THROUGHOUT the day. I get enough sleep (8-9 hrs), but somehow I'm always tired and sleepy.

I don't drink soda (no Mountain Dew or Red Bull) for health reasons, and my mom is against my drinking coffee too much. Are there any other ways to stay awake?

For about 4 years I've been having a problem mostly with my hands and feet. In the winter my hands turn a deep reddish purple. I dont have to be outside for it to happen, it occurs when im inside too. My feet do the same thing. When I was in about 7th grade, I was watching tv one day and noticed that my foot felt funny. I rubbed it, but that didnt help. It was a numbing sensation and when I took my sock off my toes were pale white. Its happened a few other times but only when the weather is cold. I thought I might have raynaud's syndrome because all of my symptoms are exactly the same ( cold limbs, purple limbs, sesitive.. etc.) but my fingers didn't turn white so that cant be it. I also notice that not only do they turn pruple in the cold, but bright red in the heat. In the shower i have bright red feet and hands and my knees as well. Also, on my legs appear bright red lines. They look like maybe they are veins. When i am cold it is the same but purple lines. Please help

I've been having intense head pains above and to the back of my left ear for about a week now. It's more of a hard compressing pain than a sharp pin-point one. They are slowly getting worse but come in and out randomly. Are they headaches or something more?

I've been drinking insane amounts of water every day, am peeing constantly (because of all the water I'm drinking, probably), and have been using so much lotion on my hands its almost disgusting (think applications every two hours or so--and it could easily be put on more). Is it possible I'm not getting enough salt? I wouldn't think so... Not feeling tired or sick, although yesterday I went and got a flu shot. I'm actually feeling more perky and awake than normal at school (although that might be due to actually getting 7-8 hours of sleep every night during the week). Any ideas?

I am going to quit smoking on Monday...that is my day. I am going to use the patch, but I was wondering if there is a difference in how they work, Walgreens (generic) and the Nicoderm, or is there just difference in the price?

Thanks!
