Mono Help
Posted Monday March 31 2008, 10:55 am
I just found out I got diagnosed with mono today. It was almost obvious I had it but I'm just wondering if you guys have any advice for me. See I've taken more than 15 advil in 24 hours and I know that is really dangerous but it's the only thing that stops the pain for a little while. My throat hurts so much I rather be dead then face the pain. Is there any remedies I could use to help my throat feel better ? I already gargled with the salt water and used cough drops. It seems the advil is the only thing really helping. Is there maybe any stronger painkiller out there so I don't need to take one every 4 hours?
Also does anyone have any experiences with this? I want to know what to expect and just ways to make myself feel a little better.
Thanks<3

Always tired
Posted Sunday March 30 2008, 10:36 pm
17/f
I am always tired. I mean, ALWAYS. I can sleep for 9 hours and wake up tired, but I can also sleep for up to 12 hours and still be tired. No matter how long I sleep I'm always exhausted. It's really causing problems because I can't concentrate. This has been going on for a few months now. I thought I was just tired, but it hasn't gone away. I was just wondering if anyone knew any reasons why this might be. Any possible explinations would be appreciated.
Thanks.

skin infection? disease? hives? chicken pox???
Posted Saturday March 22 2008, 9:39 pm
my grandma, in her 70s, who recently has not been feeling very well, have been getting itchy lumps appearing on her body, mostly on her arms and legs. they're itchy like chicken pox, but they disappear after a while and some back again sometime later after a meal. could this condition be caused by a food she may be eating? we're a chinese family so we eat lots of rice and chinese food in general. i understand that many there may not be many doctors out here, but anyone who has any suggestions or things like that, please share, because we cant get professional help until tuesday because of the easter holiday. thank you in advance:)

14/f
Latly ive been suffering from alot of body issues. The first thing you will probably tell me is to tell my parents, well I live with my mom and she doesnt care at all, she will just call me a hypocondriac and tell me im faking it. Trust me I would fake a illness that was severly hurting me.Ive never missed a day of school and I always go to school when im sick. Even when everything is plugged up and you cant here people talking to you.
So latly the issue is whenever I sit down or get up from relaxing, the minute I get up I have the worst headache and I want to pass out. My rib cage has been hurting like other. My knee always snaps not crack, snaps and its hurts so bad I dont want to move my knee. Right now...

Yeast infection?
Posted Tuesday March 11 2008, 4:23 pm
I'm thinking that I have one, but I'm not certain. There's an uncomfortable slight burning, mainly just unfomfortable feeling in my vajj. It's itchy sometimes, and burns when I piss.
I am sexually active, I was thinking it might be an allergic reaction to latex, but I'm not sure.
Go on, advicenators, do what you do.

The Right Side of My Throat Hurts!
Posted Sunday March 2 2008, 3:42 pm
Hi, my name's Manda, I'm 17 and female. Here's my question: For the last three days now, only the right side of my throat has been hurting, it feels like my tonsil area but I'm really not sure. I was just wondering what it could be considering the fact that my throat hurts only on one side. It's not an excruciating pain or anything but everytime I swallow (saliva, not food), I just get this little hurting sensation. All advice is welcome, thank you!
