Avatar m tn The medical community is only now starting to realize the role that bacteria plays in this disease. And yes, an imbalance of fecal bacteria in the colon can cause UC. I took antibiotics for some 20+ years for skin inflammations. After many years of having IBS symptoms as a result, IBS symptoms that just kept getting worse and worse, I had a serious flare and was diagnosed with UC. I then did fecal transplantation and went into remission immediately. This was some four years ago.

147426 tn?1317265632 Recently I have run into several posts here and on other forums that state that the Disease Modifying Drugs used in MS are dangerous. People have characterized them as immune-suppressants or poisons, and have stated that they may well be worse than any disease for which they might be taken.
Avatar n tn what is the role of progesterone in invitro fertilization? I just had a transfer done 3 days ago. I have read that progesterone is not supposed to be given while pregnant or while trying to get pregnant, yet, my doctor has me injecting myself with 1 ml per day, plus vaginal inserts of endometrin four times per day. Is this normal procedure?

Avatar f tn [their name for it] to her friend (5 yr old girl) where they take turns to sit on top of each other fully clothed and rub their groins together. They have also been kissing. I have explained to her that this is not an appropriate game for them to be playing but they have been caught again (for the second time) today. Her friends mother and I have agreed that they will not be left alone to play together again until we get to the bottom of this but I am not sure how to address it.
Avatar n tn Antibiotics are only effective against bacterial infections, and many types of bacteria are extremely resistant to treatment. The infection could also be non-bacterial in origin (for example yeast). You should request your physician take a culture to determine the nature of the infection.
Avatar f tn I was induced at 39+5 at 7pm with my first. Very slow progression. Started hard labor next day at noon. Took some narcotic pain killer to keep my body from wanting to push (I was only at 7cm, and pushing was going to get me an emergency C). When that wore off, I was at 9cm. Took till 830pm, but he showed up eventually. The pain was some of the worst in my life, but once you're through, the memory of it fades. (Perspective: I'm an amputee. I'm missing some fingers on my right hand.
Avatar f tn but then I got pregnant and I guess it threw me out of whack. Most of my pains came after my son was born in Aug. 06. That's when they found out I developed a hiatal hernia and I developed GERD during the pregnancy also. They tried to put me back on those meds after but I refused. I tried Zoloft again but I didn't like the way it made me feel so I stopped after 1 month. Good luck and if you need to talk I'll be around.
Avatar f tn Having diverticulitis and being allergic to most antibiotics put you in a bit of a predicament for treatment. Are you avoiding all the foods you should to prevent any flare ups from your diverticulitis? I agree with CalGal that this is important enough to thoroughly discuss your options with your GI doc. One attack doesn't warrant more surgery, and this is where diet plays an important role.
Avatar f tn Scientists discovered that a subset of exhausted CD8+ T cells expressing the chemokine receptor CXCR5 plays a critical role in the control of viral replication in mice that were chronically infected with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus. Scientists called the subset as CXCR5+ CD8+ T cells that were preferentially localized in B-cell follicles, expressed lower levels of inhibitory receptors and exhibited more potent cytotoxicity.
Avatar m tn that's the very nature of the buggers. They come and go. I've not been able to correlate it to anything.
Avatar m tn hominis) is a microscopic parasite sometimes found in the stools of healthy people as well as in the stools of those who have diarrhea, abdominal pain or other gastrointestinal problems. Infection with B. hominis is called blastocystosis. Researchers don't yet fully understand the role that B. hominis plays in causing an infection. Certain subtypes of this parasite may be more likely to cause infection, or may pose a risk only when combined with other types of infection.
461781 tn?1285609481 I remember when I used bcp's that Dr's would always say that when you were taking antibiotics to use condoms or other barrier methods because antibiotics would make the pill uneffective during the time you had to take them. Well I'm trying to ttc and I'm currently taking antibiotics, how would that affect my O? I'm in my O days and I'm hoping that antibiotics would not hurt ttc? I don't know, does anyone know how antibiotics affect your cycle?
Avatar f tn Ggreg, the problem in my mind is with the increase in cases of C. diff with the use of antibiotics these days, it's just not worth the risk of and the loss of few dollars that are spent trying to keep the 'decent' flora up in the GI tract. Even in a 'normal' individual (is there such a thing?) antibiotics should be used sparingly and they're typically not. Far too many antibiotics are handed out much too easily. In my mind it's better to be safe than sorry. C.
Avatar f tn Also wear loose-fitting cotton clothing and use an antibacterial soap or mild soap like dove. Avoid any kind of cosmetics. Topical antibiotics such as mupirocin or neomycin containing ointment and oral antihistaminics like Benadryl or Zyrtec are also useful if there is any itching. In case the symptoms persist then oral antibiotics may be needed. Please consult a dermatologist in that case.
Avatar n tn No other illnesses, no family or personal history of skin disorders, in good shape, excellent diet. Due to the nature of my symptoms, the SD has a very negative impact on my life. I beg you, help me!!
Avatar f tn Nothing to worry about its called a lymph node. I'm suffering with 2 on both sides of my inner thighs. As the old folks would say"its from an infection" U can pop it on ur own or u can let nature play its role. I'm goin with nature bcuz with the other way u can squeeze until u make an scab n it develops a head then u can squeeze until the seed comes out.
Avatar f tn That was 2 years ago and since then I have had a lot of stress and upset in my life. I have recently started with stabbing pains in my right breast again and for a few months now my joints, especially my lower back have been so painful. I have a new Dr who has read up on my condition tho and has said that there is a link between IGM and joint pain! However, he also thinks I have started early menopause too, so I'm now thinking that my IGM may flare up?
Avatar n tn Urine analysis may not present with any bacteria in cases wherein prior antibiotics have been taken. Results of urine culture may also be affected when antibiotics have been administered. There are cases though wherein an infection may not be present. The pain may be inflammatory in nature. This may be due to mild irritation brought about by external irritants as well chemicals found in urine. I would suggest for a prostate examination also.
Avatar m tn If you feel fatigue / low energy then you shouldn't wonder why you have little or no libido. The fastest way to refill yourself with life energy is to spend time in nature. The best effect will be from regular walks, which are at least 1-2 hours long.
Avatar f tn If you are really concerned that you contracted a std from this partner, you should abstain from sexual activity with your regular partner. you can get orally tested for gonorrhea and chlamydia after 1 week post encounter. We don't have commercially available hpv testing to cover that base. Genital herpes testing would be 3 months post encounter if you really want to cover that base too.
