HIV :: Through Food - Ulcers In Mouth - Non-sexual Way
About 7 weeks ago I had been to a roadside food stall. The guy preparing the food wasn't wearing any gloves while preparing the food. Within a minute of preparing the food, I consumed it. I didn't notice any cuts, or bruises on the guy's palms but I couldn't get a close look. Also, I had a very very small ulcer in my mouth (Otherwise my mouth is in good shape) .
I'd like to know if this was a low risk situation and I need to get tested for this?
What's worrying is that I had a very small ulcer then and the food wasn't heated to kill the possible HIV if at all present.
Also, have you ever heard of, even outside your organisation, of any HIV infection through food or through any other non-sexual way?

My son was diagnosed with OLP when he was 8..... But his mouth ulcers started when he was 3! He's 10 now. He has good weeks and he has Horrible weeks. No one has been able to help us relieve his pain. We do have some meds prescribed but none are miracle drugs (I know that doesn't exist. . I just wish it did). The medicine prescribed to him is Methotrexate 2.5 mg tablet - 6 at a time once a week. Also he's to take folic acid with this med. He's not started this yet because he must have blood work done routinely since there is a chance this med will effect his liver .... And he's terrified of needles. He uses Chloraseptic mouth spray very often for the pain. He misses school very often. He sometimes has "mystery fevers" and feels just awful inside. He gets bad headaches. I read on one thread that someone mentioned an OTC med for thrush and an enzyme for candida. I think I might try that for him. Does anyone have any other suggestions for me? My sweet boy is in pain and has been for so long and I'm worried that his childhood is being negatively impacted by all these mouth ulcers.

I have a little leg hair, stomach hair below bellybutton, armpit hair and penis hair, but my voice is not only high but ridiculously high. As I say I am 15 and starting college next year and without a doubt I will be with the 5% of other people like me, if even 5%. I am scared to talk to new people and over the phone because people think i'm gay or a girl.
It's seriously bothering me and getting in the way of my life.
When will my voice break, and also when is the latest it will break?
Thyroid :: Nodule Affecting Voice?
Hi, everyone. I have Graves disease (in and out of remission on PTU) and lots of nodules, which I've had biopsied. One of them hurts when I swallow, and I can also feel a twanging or snapping sensation in the area when I swallow. Recently, my voice has changed. I'm not hoarse, but I can't sing the high notes. I don't mean I sound bad or squeak--I mean I can't get any sound out at all above an A (the one above middle C--not a very high note). I sing do-re-mi-fa-sol-la...but when I try to sing "ti," I either get nothing at all, or "la" comes out.
I am waiting on the results of a new biopsy--the first one was 12 years ago--but I'm wondering if a benign nodule could do that to my voice, or if it's something unrelated. If the biopsy is negative, as I expect it will be, what then?
Reflux Oesophagitis :: Throat Clearing And Hoarse Voice After Eating?
For the past while I have been experiencing issues after eating. After eating it feels like something is stuck in my throat and I constantly have to clear my throat. This lasts about 20 minutes and it slowly goes away. However, in addition to this I also experience my voice going hoarse while it is occurring. This only happens after eating, not during. I have no issues during meals, but about 5 minutes after I get the sensation in my throat and my voice will go in and out. It bothers me and causes me to avoid going out to eat because I feel rude constantly clearing my throat. It is quite irritating, but I am unsure if it is something I should bother my doctor about. For the record, I am 25 and I have been experiencing this for 1-1.5 years.
View 2 RepliesPuberty Early - Teen With 7-8 Inches Penis And Thick Voice?
I'm a teen with a penis that measures (when erect, obviously) between 7 1/2 and 8 inches in length, depending on the environment or how excited I am. I hit puberty very early, and I can already grow a thick beard (not a long one though!!). I'm a little over 5'8, too. I have a pretty deep voice.
My main concern is that I'll stop developing early. Will how early I hit puberty effect when both my body and my penis stop growing, and will my voice stay this deep or only get a tiny bit deeper? I'd really like to know, and I think the size of my member right now is a GOOD size, but I'll be honest and say that I'm rather ambitious. I would also like to be able to reach at least six feet tall by adulthood.
That being said, is there any way I'll be able to grow taller than I would if I continued as normal? I've heard that certain types of food give you the correct vitamins or minerals to help you grow. If any alteration is possible, I'd be happy to go through with it and get a few extra inches on my current height.
BTW, my last question is concerning my strength. I'm a football player, but when games aren't in season I don't do much but sit on my computer at home. Even given the circumstances, I somehow have one of the strongest arms (strong throw, whatever muscles you use during arm-wrestling) in my school, and in the school I went to last year. I'm also one of the fastest people in my school. I'd like to know why this is. Is it because of genetics, or maybe because of what I eat

Herpes :: HSV 1 - Blisters And Ulcers - May Have Contracted It?
I recently had some irritation following sex with a girl who I know gets cold sores on occasion. On the shaft of my penis, near the head there is an abrasion of sorts that is mostly painless and I never saw blisters. It doesn't seem to heal, but I've had similar problems in the past; once that skin tears, it seems to take months to heal.
My question is, should I be the slightest bit concerned that I may have contracted HSV1? I went to my doctor and I find that most doctors really have no clue about STDs; she said it could be herpes, but it wasn't typical. Anyone else have an opinion? Do blisters usually show up and hang around for a while before they begin to look like ulcerated skin? Is the pain from these sores usually obvious?

I am a 22 year old male. Along with my other issues I also suffer from the above. My endoscopy showed (Mild G1 reflux oesophagitis and minor duodenitis. Some bile reflux in stomach). I am currently taking Esomeprazole 40 mg per day which I believe is not helping. Everyone has said how my voice sounds much deeper and different than before, and the top of my throat is always itching. My teeth feel really bad, I know over time Acid can make them really bad. I have had several appointments cancelled by the Gastroenterologist at my local hospital and I am due to see him in September. I have tried all remedies etc but nothing seems to help.

View 1 RepliesUlcers :: Cabbage Juice Cure To Treat Gastritis
Some doctors cured their patients of ulcers in the mid 20th century with cabbage juice. Supposedly they got some relief after 4 days and most of them were cured after 7-10 days.
Here is how to proceed: one has to drink 200 ml of fresh cabbage juice 5 times a day, so every 3 hours. I am going to mix mine with one apple in the morning (if I can take the acidity of the apple), and other vegetables (carrots, spinach, celeri, fennel) the rest of the day to make it more tasty.

View 1 RepliesPolymyalgia Rheumatica :: Prednisone And Stomach Ulcers (Zollinger Ellison Syndrome)
I really need some advice. A few weeks ago I started getting severe pains in arms, shoulders and legs which came on almost overnight. I couldn't move my arms in bed or roll over and getting out in the mornings it was like I had aged 20 years. Well you all know the symptoms. Could hardly get off the loo or downstairs. All the usual symptoms. I saw my physio who I have been seeing on and off and he thought it could be Polymyalgia. My late mother had had it too. After a blood test at doctors he has put me on Prednisolone for a week to see if things improved. Reading the contra indication it seemed like it was a no no for me as I have a rare condition called Zollinger Ellison Syndrome that means I produce excess Gastrin and therefore stomach ulcers. I have already had 2 perforated stomach ulcers and hence have a small stomach due to surgery. I am on 40 mg of Omeprazole for life to safeguard another ulcerI also have osteoporosis although this hasn't caused a problem. Since starting the Prednisolone I have had severe heartburn so emailed my gastrointestinal surgeon and he said I have to choose between more stomach ulcers or a better quality of life i.e being pain free. What a choice is that. I am with a new partner who is 7 years younger than me and suddenly I have gone from a dynamic 63 year to an 89 year old.
Mirtazapine :: Losing Weight When You Come Off It?
I have been on Mirtazapine for 20 months. When I first started at the 15mg dose, in a month I gained a stone. Then dieted and lost it. I have never had a problem losing weight over the years by eating a healthy diet. Usually losing 2 stone in 3 months, Now on 30mg of mirtazapine, was on 45mg but had unusual highs so it got reduced. Since September 2012 I have gone from 10 stone to 14 stone 9 and I have dieted in between with not much luck. I dieted for 4 months and lost 4 pounds and I was eating so healthily and almost suffering. Due to being a victim of crime 6 weeks ago I come off the diet due to stress.I cannot control the hunger and cravings. i binge to the extreme between 10pm and 2am, I even eat in my sleep.
What worries me though is even on a diet I cannot lose the weight. And as I say, in the past I have lost weight when eating healthily no problem.
My doctor wants to start reducing my mirtazapine in January as I am on too much medication. I am worried about coming off it as I have gone through anti depressant withdrawal before, actually paroxetine withdrawal is the reason why I am on mirtazapine, Plus for my height and now weight I am obese so that is the other reason he wants to take me off it.
I just wondered if anyone has had weight gain and if they have lost it when they stopped mirtazapine?
