Cold sore is FLASHING and PULSING
Posted Saturday June 16 2012, 7:41 pm
Okay, so I've had quite a few cold sores and lip infections.
Today I woke up with a cold sore, and I made sure to start drinking a lot of water, eating super healthy to aid those white blood cells in fighting them off, and popping in l-lysine tablets.
Anyway, so I looked in the mirror and it's pulsating. Not only can I feel it pulsing, but in the mirror it actually looks to be flashing white and red constantly.
I checked this morning and it's continually happening. It's SERIOUSLY like a siren.
Anyway, I just wanted to know if that means the virus is continually growing/spreading or if it's starting to dye down because of the white blood cells.

Does accutane have bad effects on you if you have hydrocephalus & a shunt?
Posted Thursday June 7 2012, 2:56 pm
Does accutane have bad effects on you if you have hydrocephalus and a shunt in your head?
I have a shunt in the back of my head. It hasn't been checked for like 12 years, I had surgery when I was in the first grade. The doctors said I'm a normal person and I don't have any problems even though I still have a shunt in my head they said they weren't going to check on it unless I became sick. I went to the dermatologist today and my dermatologist said that he was going to give me accutane, but I read that it has a lot of side effects, similar to hydrocephalus and swelling of the brain, etc. I have to wait a month to get the accutane. Could that happen to me if I get accutane?

The little girl I babysit might have an eating disorder
Posted Monday June 4 2012, 6:56 pm
Hello Advicenators! It's been an extremely long time since I've been on this website, I'm so glad it's still running. You guys are awesome.
I came here because I was unsure who to talk to about this. Before I moved away to college, I babysat for this little girl, we'll call her Lauren, for a year. I would drive her to her dance classes and take her home, cook her dinner, and just hang around with her. Right before I was suppose to leave for college, something happened with her family. Her parents got a divorce, and then a couple weeks later, her father went to jail. The mother told me not to mention it to Lauren so it wouldn't upset her. The father got out on bail. And then, I went off to college.

PrePaid Burial Arrangements
Posted Sunday June 3 2012, 7:36 pm
I hate to bring you all down but I need help figuring out what to do. I don't have a long time to live and nobody in my family knows yet. I want to make all the arrangements before telling anyone so that the burden will be less after the shock hits them. I am at a complete loss to figure out what I should do or who I contact to make arrangements for this and pre-pay everything.
Can you just tell me who I call? Will my insurance cover this? Do I call them first and see?
Thank you for anyone that has time to help me.

Hello!
I have to do a VCUG test, and I don't want to. I've done it twice and we have to do it again to see if my procedure(I think it's called Urinary Reflux) worked.
I don't want to! Is there some sort of way to make it not hurt as much? I'm a young girl and I think it'll hurt more because of my Reflux thing. Please help asap!!

High white blood cell count
Posted Friday April 13 2012, 11:44 pm
17-F
I had blood work done a few weeks ago and the results came back that I had a high white blood cell count. So now I need to get a bunch of tests done to figure out what's wrong. I have two questions.
1) What kind of tests will be done?
2) I read that high white blood cells could be causes by a bunch of different types of leukemia. I've always been terrified of getting cancer. But I also read it comes from smoking. I don't personally smoke but both my parents have for years so I've been breaking it in the day I was born. I also frequently burn candles in my room. Is it a much greater chance that those could be the reasons?
I'm also over weight, if that helps determine anything.
I...

Anorexia
Posted Thursday April 5 2012, 11:55 pm
I am female and 15 years old. I am a very serious dancer and am also a little upset about my body. I know dancers are supposed to be really skinny and i am not. I weigh 119 pounds and want to be 100 or less. I want to kind of become anorexic because it will help me loose weight and i think i will be much happier. I know that becoming anorexic can be dangerous but this is for my career. Do you think that this is a really bad idea?

I feel nauseous and dizzy. What is going on?
Posted Tuesday April 3 2012, 9:25 pm
I woke up from a rough sleepless night, very dizzy, nauseous, and I could barely keep myself upright. In the shower, I was falling over and feeling so lightheaded. Just the thought of food made me sick.I thought it was just a minor headache, so I took a Tylenol,had a tall glass of water, and got ready for school normally. I felt a little better after breakfast. My boyfriend picked me up to go to school. Later I ate lunch without any problem.
Later on the bus, my tendency to get car sick made my nauseousness return. I opened the window and laid back and hoped for the best. The walk home was okay, but when I got home, I broke out in sweat and had the dizzy, lightheaded, nauseous feeling again. I read on the internet that vitam...

Do I need to go to the doctor's or the hospital?
Posted Tuesday March 13 2012, 12:53 pm
15, female
Last Thursday, I was hit in the head with a lacrosse ball. On Friday (the day after), the school nurse confirmed that I have a mild concussion. Taking her advice, I did not watch TV or read, and only went on the computer for up to 30 minutes each day.
Then, Saturday night, I got a fever and could not sleep. The next day, Sunday, I proceeded to vomit (I know, gross, sorry!) at 8:30 am, 8:45 pm, and 10 pm. All of Monday, I had a fever but did not throw up again. By the end of the day, my stomach barely hurt and I was back to eating solids. Also, I slept most of Sunday and Monday, though for 2 hours at most. I have had a headache since Thursday. I get headaches fairly often, but never one for four days ...
