Kidney :: VUR In Adults? Need A Transplant?
I had my right kidney removed 3 year ago. It was atrophic and only functioning at 19%. They could never explain what happened to it. Right after my daughter was diagnosed with VUR and had to have it repaired. Recently after a stay in the hospital for an infection in my only kidney, they said they found VUR in my kidney. I have not had anymore test yet due to waiting on my insurance. My questions are. Can they fix it? If not will I need a transplant? Am I a good candidate for a transplant Because I also have AIH?

View 12 RepliesCauses Of Throat Clearing Habit In Adults?
My mother of 60 y/o has recently developed a problem whereby she clears her throat very often, sometimes up to every 10-20 seconds, and literally all day.
I think it is more habitual rather than necessity, and because of that I feel a bit awkward about bringing it up. She has no other symptoms and is generally in good health. Her sister has always had a mild form of Tourettes, she has certain small tics, but my mother has never shown any signs before.
I have searched the internet, but the only info regarding this seems to be about infants.

View 1 RepliesDiagnosed With Herpes Type 2 - Will I Ever Have Sex / Children Again?
My biggest fear in life has just been confirmed... Something I have been trying to protect myself my whole life.. I just feel so disgusting and worthless. My boyfriend of 6 months is not handling the news well... He just went in yesterday to get blood tests done because he himself has never had any symptoms. But I did hear it's easier for men to pass along to women because we have more soft tissue/more sensitive genital area from men..
I'm so worried that I will somehow have this and my boyfriend won't.. I'm so worried he's going to dump me over this because he can't handle any intense news well... I feel like I will never be able to live my life normally again.. How can I go a day without thinking about this? How will I ever have sex again?
I feel kind of lucky because it's just on the pubic hair region.. But I'm wondering if it can spread to the actual vagina? I'm so upset and I feel like I'll never be able to have children.. I don't know if anyone will reply to this but it just feels good to rant
Ovarian Cysts :: Affect My Opportunity To Have Children
I am 28 unmarried but would like children someday. I recently found out that I have an 8cm dermoid cyst on my right ovary. I have an appointment with a surgical physician in about a week and a half. They found it during an ultrasound as I have been having pain in my lower right pelvic area. The ultrasound tech told me they generally remove them with surgery but that is about all the information I received. The call after the ultrasound was just to schedule this f/u appointment with a surgical physician. Am I right to assume surgery? I would like to be a little prepared before i walk in there.
I would appreciate anyone who has had a similar situation to tell me the likelihood of surgery, how the procedure went, recovery time, etc. I understand everyone is different but I am having a hard time finding concreting information. And am working myself up worrying about it. Especially if its going to effect my opportunity to have children.
Uterine Fibroids :: Esmya Treatment And Wish To Have Children
I'm 29 years old and I have a few relatively small fibroids. The biggest one is 4 cm and the other 6 fibroids are about 2 or 1 cm.
I actually didn't have any idea of what was growing in my belly. I only had bad pains during my period but no other symptoms. So last year in October, I did the yearly examination and it was then when the doctor discovered them.
My husband and I want to have children an the fibroids might be getting in the way. So I started with the Esmya treatment, in hopes that the fibroids will get smaller, so I can get pregnant soon.
Does anyone here is in a similar situation? What is the treatment that your doctor gave you?
OraQuick At Home Test Being Accurate On Children?
Does anyone have knowledge of the OraQuick at home test being accurate on children? I know the manufacturer states that the test is not for anyone under the age of 17. However, aren't antibodies in children the same as in adults? If antibodies for hiv were present in a child, wouldn't the test pick it up?
View 1 RepliesAdderall :: Blackout With Weed
I'm not a heavy smoker, i'll smoke like a few times a week. The first time I tried salvia, I hit a bowl of it with some weed sprinkled on top and right after I took it in. I lost control of my body and I fell face first on my table and my nose started bleeding. I thought this was because I also took an adderall earlier in the morning and I smoked before. Something similar happened to me the other day except I was only hitting a regular bowl with batch. Right after I took it I lost control of my body and felt like I blacked out for a second and fell to the ground. Next thing i realize I'm on the ground and my friends said I was shaking. I smoked weed earlier that day to but nothing like this has ever happened before while smoking week normally.

View 1 RepliesErectile Dysfunction Due To Adderall
Wondering if anyone else has had this issue or has suggestions on how to treat it. (It sounds strange, but it's true and troubling.)
I took Adderall regularly from 2011-2013 and had no ED issues, but delayed ejaculation. Since then, I've switched to a different antidepressant medication, and when I restarted the Adderall, I had ED.
I would watch porn and masturbate for up to 30 minutes before I could get an erection. When I did, I would have some pre-ejaculate (which I never had before). Once I got an erection, because it took so much work, I didn't want to lose it! So I would put on a c*** ring and edge for up to an hour before ejaculating. Even if I only took the Adderall a few days a week, these side effects and the subsequent cycle continued daily. I've stopped the Adderall, but I still have to masturbate a flaccid penis for up to 15 minutes before it gets erect, and like before, there's eventually pre-ejeculate, I get very hard, then can masturbate normally and eventually ejaculate.
I feel like the aggressive type of masturbation I used to produce an erection when I was taking the Adderall has completely altered my penis' reaction to stimulation. Now, 15 minutes of stimulation + porn produces pre-ejaculate and then an erection. Stimulation from a partner does nothing to arouse me. I now have to go through this process to get an erection.
I've never had ED issues before, or any trouble getting an erection when masturbating or with a partner. Now, after all the aggressive masturbation caused by the Adderall-ED issues, my penis' response is so drastically different, I'm worried and don't know what to do?
Will an ED med get me back on track? Do I have to avoid masturbation and porn for an extended period of time and then my arousal cycle will return to normal? I feel like I've literally retrained my penis on how to respond to stimulation, and I need to retrain it back to normal, but not sure what to do.
Has anyone else experienced this or have suggestions?
Hidradenitis Suppurativa :: Disease DOES NOT Occur In Children - Wrong
I spotted a fault in the article about Hidradenitis Suppurativa.
It claims that this disease DOES NOT occur in children -- that it mostly affects from the ages 20-40. This is incredibly completely incorrect. I am 18 years old and mine began to appear at the young age of 7.
I honestly don't even have a question. I just wanted to go ahead and clear that up.
Tubal Ligation :: Unsure To Get Tubes Tied After 3 Children
I am having a bladder sling, and rectocele repair surgery done soon, and a tubal ligation. I'm 26 have a 6,5, and 2 year old |(which is y I need to fix what childbirth did to me) I'm just having a hard time with the thought of tying my tubes, something I told myself growing up I would never do. My husband is all for it, he refuses to get a vasectomy, and I've been having a lot of problems with other bc's. So it makes sense, I have 3 beautiful kids, I didn't think it would be such a hard decision. I look at pregnant women and newborns and feel sad. I know it must be the right thing to do, i'm just scared the second I wake up in the recovery room i'm going to have regret doing it.
Has anyone else felt this way before getting their tubes tied? So unsure?

Adderall :: Weight Gain / Loss
I take adderall for adult add i started taking it approx august 2011 while going to school and took it throughout the fall, spring, and also summer 2012 semester. When i first started taking it i noticed a rapid weight loss which is a side effect of the drug and i wanted to lose a few pounds so it was not only helping me concentrate but also helped me lose weight. I do however work out too as i am a very active person, but after taking the medicine for a few months i noticed that i gained all of the weight i lost back if not more and i'm really upset about it. my starting weight was between 150/155 im a 28 year old female im 5'5 with a medium frame. I stopped taking it this past june after my summer class which ended june 28 2012 due to the expensive price of even the generic brand "ampheta" which is what i take, not to mention to see the psychiatrist every few months for medication follow up its around 200$ a visit because my insurance will not cover it so i stopped taking it to save the money until i start classes back up again this august. i was only taking 1 of the 2 doses of the 20 mg a day that are instructed on my script because my classes were so close together. i spoke to my doctor about it and he said 1 pill a day is ok, im pretty sure im on the 20 mg generic adderall xr. here is the question that i have, as i am active i do have a crappy diet which does not help matters, but i am trying to improve my diet. once i start taking the adderall this upcoming august will i have the same side effect of weight loss or does that normally only happen the first time you take it? when i was a kid i took ritalin and when i started adderall in august 2011 my weight dropped to 139.5 which is the lowest i had been since high school. a comfortable weight for me would be between 135 and 145 but i don't want to look sickly thin as i am 5'5, 28 years old 29 in december and medium frame/average build. will the weight come back off once i start taking the med again? please help! i do exercise and im trying to change my appetite but im so upset that i gained it all back.
View 1 RepliesAdderall Problems :: So Angry And Slamming Doors
My 5 year-old son has been taking adderall for four months now and I can’t stand to watch him suffer this much. We haven’t noticed any changes in his problem but I noticed some really bad behavioral problems that occurred when he started taking this drug. He would just get angry suddenly with no reason at all, he would go around the house slamming doors and this is just not the way a five year old should behave or suffer. I don’t know what to do? Look for another treatment or….? Is there anybody who could relate to this problem?
