I am 29 weeks with my second and have been extremely itchy all over my body the last couple of days. Went to the doctor and am being sent for blood work and was given a prescription. Have any other of you ladies been through this?
View 1 RepliesAnyone else having extremely vivid dreams? I have been dreaming every night and they are so vivid and a little odd. Maybe it's something I ate before bed?
View 1 RepliesIs anyone else 7 weeks pregnant? I'm 24 and this is my first pregnancy. I'm concerned because I haven't had any morning sickness. I have been extremely tired and have breast tenderness. I have already gone up a cup size and my lower tummy is already poking out a bit but it's firm not fat. I really don't have anyone to compare notes with :)

View 1 RepliesLong story short I am miserable and ended up in labor and delivery last night at 38 and 4 due to being light headed dizzy nauseous and seeing spots. They checked me and the nurse said my cervix was "extremely posterior" but didn't explain anything about what this could mean. Apparently I am only 1cm dilated and 70% effaced as well. Anyone else been told this or know what it means? Am I not going to be able to go into labor on my own?
View 9 RepliesThis might be Anxiety, but I am wondering if nude body to body massage with the masseuse vagina rubbing on my penis outside (no penetration/intercourse) but defo fluid exchange, no condom and she put her finger in my anus, would that be a risk of HIV?
I have been to the same masseuses and I have done test and they all negative after but the last time I went for the massage is after my last negative test so I am just being very worry?
I am 31 years old and had a vaginal sex with a girl of unknown HIV status using two condoms at a time. It was my first sexual encounter. I ejaculated twice and both times I used double condoms as I changed after first ejaculation. Both times the condoms seemed to be intact and I could see my semen inside the condom. It's almost over 28 days now and since the past couple of days I have developed almost all symptoms like pain in the back (I have a history of L3 compression and pelvic hairline fracture in 2007), cough with something in throat, body ache, night sweats, hot flashes throughout the body, had stiffness and pain in the back of neck, not visible swollen lymph nodes , had two time kind of diarrhea today.
Since the day after this exposure I was panic stricken with stress and anxiety and cannot sleep at all with insomnia like features and wake up at 2 or 3 or 4 am in the morning due to all sorts of weird thoughts.
I know this question may have been asked before but I'm really stressed out and i need some reassurance. Yesterday I had an erotic massage that involved body to body. She applied some oil to her body and mine and sat in my lap with sine grinding for a minute or so. Her vagina touched my lower shaft and scrotum and it only lasted about a minute or so but there was no penetration. She was 35 and seemed healthy without any visible herpes symptoms. I know there is a risk of contracting herpes in this fashion but how high is this risk? I am terrified and not sure what to do.

View 8 RepliesI've been on the Nuvaring for a couple of weeks now, and while originally, I had no issues, it seems now that my body is trying to expel/reject it. Could this be due to possible pregnancy?
(Note: I'm aware that some women's bodies simply reject the Nuvaring. I was inquiring as to whether there's a possible connection, that aside.)
Like many others here, I am in rather deep despair. Although I have a girlfriend, I went to a body-to-body massage parlour. The masseuse rubbed her body over my body, using also her vagina (along my legs, etc.). I fingered her, mostly on the outside, but also briefly on the inside. Although our genitals did not touch (except perhaps incidentally very very briefly), I am very concerned about STDs. What are the risks? How long should I wait before having sex with my girlfriend? There was no oral, no visible sores, often a few seconds of digital penetration, but she certainly touched my penis after having been in contact with my finger that was inside of her (not immediately).
I would be very grateful for any advice/words from experience with this sort of thing. Has anyone here received an STD in this way?
I dont know why but I have all of a sudden got a really saw and itchy swollen vagina im 34 week
View 4 RepliesI'm just 17 weeks now and I find that some days my private becomes super itchy. I'm not sure why, but how can I can I make it stop.
View 4 RepliesI was prescribed a 3 day course of Trimethoprim, for cystitis, which I have suffered from many times before in the past. However, this time the medication made me extremely nauseous. Within about 10 minutes of taking the tablet I began retching violently and about an hour later developed a very itchy red rash on the inside of my lower arms. The rash gradually disappeared over about an hour but every time I took another tablet (two per day) I started to retch violently. I have taken the last tablet this evening but have now woken at 3.30am feeling sick again. I wish I had read your website sooner as I now realise I am far from alone in my reaction to this drug. I find it strange that I have taken it many times in the past without any obvious side effects.

I've started to become extremely thirsty lately. I've also had an issue with having to pee a lot, which has been happening for a much longer time than the thirst. The troubling thing is that I had a fasting blood test about 1-2 months ago, and also did a bunch of self-tests, and they were all normal.
Not sure how exactly I should approach this - My doctor wants another fasting blood test, and that's a whole other issue. It's hard to fast, as I feel extremely bad if I have to go without sugar, especially with the driving/waiting to take the test/etc...But like I said, that's another issue.
I didn't know where to put this, because I don't really know why I have been feeling so thirsty, just that I am and have been. Kind of hard to put a time frame on it, but I think it's been a couple of months, more or less. As far as diabetes, that's an easy answer, but I had blood tests a month ago, and I was normal (had a large range of tests in many areas and was pretty much normal). I also had been checking my sugar manually a month ago just because I wanted to see if I had it.
I notice that if I have a savory meal (i.e. with salt, obviously), I am more thirsty, but I pretty much never eat anything that salty ever, and I also have been eating the same types of food that I've always eaten my entire life, and haven't had this issue.
I already emailed my doctor, and will eventually set up an appointment with her.
Okay so I've been having a extremely sore throat for about 4 days now, and it wasn't that bad at the start but now it's extremely painful! My throat is red but there are white things around my throat as well. It's pretty swollen and there are also small white bumps at the back of my tongue. It's extremely painful when I swallow even when just swallowing my own saliva. Please can someone tell me what this is because I am in a tremendous amount of pain
View 7 RepliesI am 16 and have had mild tinnitus for years, with an unknown cause and I could only hear it whilst trying to fall asleep. But after going to a concert last night, I woke up this morning with an extremely loud ringing in my right ear. It is loud enough that I am hearing it throughout the day, no matter what I am doing.
I am also experiencing mild pain in my right ear, but not experiencing any hearing loss.
I would just like to know what I should do, how I can cope with this, and if it may go away, or subside mildly.
I have nausea,itching,back pain,pain in the upper middle and right side of my stomach,I sometimes have a rash on my neck and chest,bloating and fullness. I was told by two doctors my liver was extremely enlarged my blood work was good and sonogram only showed that it was enlarged. I am 33 I do not drink or do drugs and I do not have any type of disease. I had my gallbladder removed about six years ago it was rotten and was not functioning I had similar symptoms then and they were better until about a year ago. I feel what is going on is not normal there is a reason my liver is getting bigger and the pain is getting worse.
View 1 RepliesFor the past six months I have been experiencing a continual condition of extremely dry, cracked patches at the exact center of the palms of both hands. Prior to the start of this condition six months ago, there had been no problems of this type other than on the outside of the hands during the winter months. I am a 48 year old male in good health and have held the same job and job conditions for the past 25 years so my environment has not changed. I have tried many OTC cream products with no positive effects. I work with my hands and am becoming desperate for help in finding a solution.
