Avatar m tn Well I'm another worried idiot that did something he/she regrets. I was in Costa Rica at a big strip club (I'm New to that seen) and I'm worried about HIV. I had a condom break and didn't realize it until a position change (maybe 2-3 min. in) which then killed the moment of course.
Avatar m tn I have been living in Costa Rica for 2 months. My boyfriend and I are in a monogamous relationship and he recently came to see me. My past couple months here, I haven't been doing normal "up keep" on my vaginal area for many reasons. However the day he arrives, I decided to shave as I used to do normally. I didnt use a dull razor, or do anything any different than before. My boyfriend and I had vaginal and oral sex, not really do anything different than normal.
335728 tn?1331414412 However, last month, federal Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq cautioned Canadians against travelling abroad for the treatment in the wake of the death of Mahir Mostic, an Ontario man who underwent the procedure in Costa Rica and died after blood clots subsequently formed around the stent in his neck.
1895261 tn?1321300235 I went to a doctor just outside of San Jose Costa Rica for affordable dental work. This man broke my tooth causing 3 root canals to be preformed while in his care, left me with 10 open margins ( crowns are popped off the teeth ) but, most importantly he screwed up my bite so badly that I now suffer from severe TMJ, constant pain, can't eat or speak properly etc... The legal system in Costa Rica is a joke.
6726276 tn?1421126668 Sounds like volunteering to do something like that might be a great idea to try, then, if it's possible in Costa Rica! Hope things start looking up for you.
Avatar m tn I was in costa rica and i of course purchased a sexworker. we went back to the hotel and she began to give me a ******* without a condom for a long time. i kept getting soft and couldnt not get fully up because my mind was distracted by the fact that she was a sex worker.
Avatar m tn Hello Dr. Well I'm another worried idiot that did something he/she regrets. I was in Costa Rica at a big strip club (I'm New to that seen) and I'm worried about HIV.

605595 tn?1233683332 Many people do not realize that the major fees for cosmetic procedures in places such as High Point North Carolina, Greenville South Carolina, Kearney Nebraska, and even Tulsa Oklahoma, can be 1/2 the fees you see in New York, Los Angeles, Miami, etc. So, you can get a quality surgeon in Costa Rica, but the same applies for the US, and travel, lodging and post-operative care issues are so much simpler.
Avatar m tn Hi, I am 18 years old and I just came back from Costa Rica about 5 days ago when I realized my breasts and back were extremely itchy. I went to take a shower later that day and i noticed small flat bright pink dots COVERING my boobs. Like I said, I just got back from Costa Rica so it was hard to notice the dots on my arms and lower abdomine bc i was so tan but believe me, I could feel them and it bright light I could also see them.
Avatar f tn I'm lined up for plastic surgery in Costa Rica in 2.5 weeks... just looked up info online re metracril. It sounds like it will never be approved in the US, so I'm not going to give it a try. Generally our FDA is pretty good regarding their research on new products. Where did you stay in Costa Rica, and who did your surgery, if you don't mind posting here? Thanks!
Avatar f tn he might have felt a constant underlying anxiety that came to a head after you got settled in Costa Rica. Anything else stressful going on in his life? Any family changes? Moves? Mucinex is a fairly benign medication, with serious side effects being pretty uncommon, although anything is possible. If I were to guess, I would say this is anxiety from another source, and the timing is just suspect for the Mucinex. Here is some info on Pediatric Mucinex.
Avatar m tn Two months ago she told me she missed a periond (one week before I went to Costa Rica) i figured she was trying to stop me from going but this is the rest of the story! She and her son (really good Kid) moved in about a month ago. she has not had a period since I came back from Costa Rica, (missed 3 sofar) I wanted to know if she was pregnant so I got some EPT test, she took 3 of them (between one month and 1 1/2 months after missing her first period but said they were negative).
490426 tn?1286262753 Thanks for your answer and for emphasizing! On the suicide factor, I've been in hospitals for severe depressions and attempting it (a few times). Here in Costa Rica I currently have no doctor, and like I said, I'm very concerned about the psychiatrists here - don't want to end up worse. Still, I am in the process of searching for somebody that can help. My doctors back in Israel (whre I was living before) perscribed 40 mg of Citalopram and 0.
4522800 tn?1470325834 We could have part of the island for the detox part..Since most people can not sleep they can be out side in their sleeping bags..They can throw Coconuts and jump up & down on Bananas during there Anxiety or Depression..The can swim or jog the beach. They can climb the trees and swing with the Monkeys. On the other side we have Recovery. We will need Books and some people that will want to sponsor us one on one.

Avatar n tn I recently developed severe stomach pains with cramps, diarrhea and what feels like acid indigestion that has lasted for almost a week. Everything I swallow with the exception of water, makes me hurt terribly. We were in Costa Rica when it started so my G.P. thinks it's either a parasite or a staff infection. I wondered if it could be from my chemo and radiation treatments.
Avatar n tn Could I have gotten HEP C from a dentist in Costa RIca from a teeth cleaning?
Avatar m tn I started a dose of Doxiciclina (100 mg, 2 times a day for 7 days) in Costa Rica for it. It has been 1 day and I have not seen any change in symptoms, still have pus discharge, no real pain but discomfort, red end of the urinary tract on penis head. How long does it take before I see it subsiding? I don't want to go back to the doctor and complain that the drug is not working.
973741 tn?1342342773 For me it depends on the country. Here in Costa Rica, fresh coconut pudding. My guy harvests the coconuts. Incredible. I sometimes eat it daily. In the states Pizza. I even make my own dough in a bread machine. Home made pizza sauce full of diced vegetables & just a little tomato. Tons of cheese, 4 kinds. Twice baked & end broiled just till cheese is bubbling.
Avatar n tn If I turned out to have an STD anyway from this partner (who was a prostitute in Costa Rica), how long would it take before I had painful urinations or discharges from my penis? If I go to a regular doctor or urgent care facility, what kind of test can they run to see if I got an STD? i.e. can everything be done via blood/urine? I heard once that one of the test can be putting a cotton swab up your penis which doesn't sound pleasant. Thanks!
Avatar m tn thanks teak! I read it takes up to 3 months even if no testing is need it, in Costa Rica Doctor mention up to 6 months, why is that? I don't believe that is a safe practice of witting 6 months for a result.
