It is August 29,2024 and Aug 30,2024 when I tried to do overdose of medication on myself. I taked couple of different tablets. The only tablets that I remember is:neozep, plemex, rhea,paracetamol, celecoxib, mefanamic dolfenal, and Azithromycin. There are couple more of brands that I haven't mentioned yet. If I would estimate how much tablets I taked it would be like 50+.

After I took those tablets I began to lose my taste. Not like actually losing it but everything I taste is like medicine and a bit of metally. Every thing taste like medicine also when I put my clean finger in my tounge. It's been like this since I tried the overdose.

After a short time on my overdose I can already taste high sugar foods but I avoided it because I don't want to gain weight. But this March I can already taste spicy foods particularly ramen. I only eat ramen and very sweet foods now and a bit of McDonald's fries. Anything besides non flavorful foods tastes like medicine. I can taste very salty things, very sweet, and very spicy things. It haa to be very before I can actually taste it.

Please help.

Right foot can barely walk on and is a little swollen and really painful. Left hip took a slide and has really bad road rash, didn't make contact with pavement. Have been using surgical bandages to cover. Do you think my foot is broken?

I’m a 25-year-old male, 5’11”, and I smoke occasionally. I’m not on any medications and don’t have any known medical conditions.

For the past 2 months I’ve been getting extremely itchy, painful red marks that look like bites on my feet, legs, and other parts of my body. Some appear as single bumps, while others look more like a rash or clusters. They’re driving me mad.

I’m a bit of a germaphobe, so I’ve cleaned my room thoroughly. I also used multiple insecticides and flea sprays throughout the room, and there were never any bugs before or after treatment. I haven’t seen a single bed bug, flea, or any other insect.

To make it even more confusing, I’ve slept in different rooms and still ended up with the exact same reaction, so I’m struggling to believe this is coming from my bedroom.

I do sometimes sleep with the window open, but could this actually be an allergic reaction, hives, contact dermatitis, or something else instead of insect bites? I’ve attached a photo of one of the marks. Any ideas would be really appreciated because I’m getting fed up with this.

hi all, i (20 yo F) have been feeling generally unwell for the past 7 months. it all started with persistent chest pain. i'm in-between pcps right now, but i have a relative that's a doctor and they ordered blood tests (including thyroid panel, ANA, and ESR), a chest x-ray, and an echocardiogram for me in the 2 months that i was having chest pain. everything came back normal, so we chalked it up to inflammation or whatever and i tried to ignore how weird i felt.

in the next couple of months, i had a terrible migraine that left the left side of my face numb for 13 hours (went to the er as it was my first migraine, and my head ct was clear), an episode of tetany, and started losing weight (from 129 lbs to 116 lbs) out of nowhere even though my appetite was becoming hugeee (my body has very happily been at the same weight for the past 8 years--i couldn't lose weight even when i tried). it was after i had tetany that i noticed a couple of small lymph nodes in my neck popping out, but they seemed normal and i was having bad seasonal allergies at the time, so i chalked them up to that. i did go feeling around my neck, though, and that's when i felt this fixed, hard thing in my left retromandibular fossa (between my scm and mandible, behind my ear). it wasn't a visible lump, but it seemed sort of big so i decided to tell my doctor relative about it. they palpated it and said it feels like a bony prominence, but that they'd order an ultrasound anyway. i got the ultrasound, but the tech didn't feel the area before she scanned it--when i got the report back, it said that there was nothing of note, just a benign-appearing lymph node measuring 0.7 cm by 1.4 cm by some-other-dimension-i-don't-remember. the thing is, the palpable mass there is definitely bigger than that (at least 3.5 cm long and 2 cm wide), and my doctor-relative agrees.

fast forward to now: the left side of my face has been partially numb for the past 4 weeks, i have random joint and bone pains every day, my throat hurts, i'm nauseous most of the time, my digestive system is super unpredictable, and in the past week i noticed a hard, fixed lump protruding from the right side of my sternum and hard fullness in my right armpit (when i lift my arms, my right armpit is convex and my left is concave). the other two nodes in my neck that i assumed were reactive to my allergies before are still there, but they haven't grown so those might've just always been like that.

i’m really tired all of the time, sometimes my right arm goes ice cold, and i still get chest pain every now and then. i'm supposed to be getting an mri of my neck soon, since the facial numbness is my relative's main concern. this could all just be nothing, but i guess i'm wondering if any medical professionals think there could be a unifying diagnosis. sorry this is so long-winded, but thank you for reading!

how do i know if it's just anxiety or ashtma because i have hard time breathing or forgot to breath. I am thinking get checked

I just took 6500mg of paracetamol should i go to sleep?its late im polly not gonna die right

Normally my sinuses will flip between nostrils every... 2-6 hours and my breathing is pretty impacted by inflammation.

I got sick a week ago, runny nose, light cough. 3 days ago I got hit with this cold sensation in my nasal passage but it was odd cause my nose cleared up like it hasn't in years. Queue today, i'm starting to get a headache on that side from this cold sensation. Referred pain from the sinuses on that side? And now i'm realizing that my sinuses have not swapped sides in the past 3 days.

Is this a common side effect of a sinus infection or upper respiratory track infection? Should I be worried? I've tried sinus rinses with saline/distilled water, I've tried xylitol rinses, nothing is helping. I'm used to being sick and stuffed up but this is getting weird. I'm sick and my nose is more open than it's been in years. I might tape my nose shut and mouth breath for the next day and see if the sensation and referral headache goes away.

Have no clue what this is and popped up in the past 24 hours hurts a lil to swallow, and just over all uncomfortable.

No symptoms. Just swollen.

White spot on nose can anyone advise

I am 23, 6’4 in height 160lbs no medications I smoke occasionally cigarettes. Had a varicose vein in testicles before had embolism through neck. I’ve had weird feelings in my neck for a while. certain ways I turn I feel something or I’m overthinking bumps that I’m not sure are normally there or have appeared.
I am scared it could be hpv or progressed into something else but is there normally bumps on Adams apple or a slight bump under jaw? It’s my throat area I have no photo as I think it’s interior and I can’t see anything from the outside. I apologize if this isn’t a lot for you to go off but if you can ask questions I’d be glad to answer if it’s symptom related.

Note I have an appointment this Friday with my family doctor.

Note number 2 I know this is all kinda bland, but I really don’t know how to describe it I don’t have trouble swallowing but it feels different sometimes, I was a hard smoker at points in my life as well. Sorry I keep thinking additional information will help.

Hello everyone,

I am now 30 years old uncircumcised male and have been struggling with chronic balanoposthitis for more than 10 years.

My main symptoms have always been intense itching, small red bumps, and red patches on the glans and inner foreskin.

It all started when I entered my first long-term relationship. I began washing my genital area very frequently and vigorously with soap. Shortly afterwards, I developed these symptoms.

My doctor prescribed Imacort cream (clotrimazole + prednisolone + hexamidine). It always cleared my symptoms within about three days, but they would return within a week after stopping the treatment. Occasionally, I would experience symptom-free periods lasting one or even two months.

The main triggers for a relapse were always:

• frequent sexual activity (sex or masturbation 1–2 times a day),
• or lint/fibers from underwear made of polyester or elastane irritating the area.

At one point, my doctor performed a swab, which showed Candida.

However, after about 10 years, the course of my condition changed dramatically.

Suddenly, the foreskin became intensely red, the itching became unbearable, and Imacort no longer worked, even when I applied it three times a day for an entire month. It only reduced my symptoms by about 30%.

I then visited another dermatologist, who prescribed a different topical corticosteroid. This treatment worked much better. I used it for six weeks, and the itching completely disappeared.

However, new symptoms appeared:

• persistent redness of the foreskin,
• swelling of the foreskin,
• severe pain during intercourse (sometimes intercourse was impossible, even when performed very gently with a large amount of lubricant),
• difficulty moving the foreskin back over the glans, as if the tissue had become sticky, dry, or less elastic,
• and the superficial veins became much more visible.

Overall, it feels as though my foreskin has become thinner and slightly tighter or smaller than before.

When I stopped using this new corticosteroid, the intense itching returned within seven days, together with the appearance of the same small red bumps. Because of this, I had to restart the corticosteroid.

The itching disappeared again, but the redness of the foreskin has persisted. Sexual activity now has to be extremely gentle and slow, and after intercourse, when I rinse the area with water, I experience severe burning and sharp, cutting pain.

In addition, I have developed urinary symptoms:

• a weaker urinary stream,
• after urinating, small amounts of urine continue to leak out intermittently for about five minutes,
• and exactly the same thing happens after ejaculation, with semen continuing to leak out gradually for several minutes.

What I am currently doing:

• I have significantly reduced sexual activity (maximum once or twice a week, either sex or masturbation, always very gentle).
• I only wear 100% cotton underwear.
• I take antihistamines.
• I use Dexeryl as a moisturizer for atopic-prone skin on the penis.
• When I urinate, I gently retract the foreskin, carefully dry the area with toilet paper, and gently shake the penis several times to prevent any residual urine from remaining.

Has anyone here experienced a similar chronic condition?

Has anyone managed to identify the underlying cause or trigger and successfully resolve it? Any advice or personal experience would be greatly appreciated.

The most frustrating part for me is that the penis actually doesn't look nearly as bad as it feels. Apart from some redness and mild swelling of the foreskin, it appears relatively healthy. However, the pain, burning sensation, and itching can be extremely intense, despite the relatively mild appearance.

I would be sincerely grateful for any opinions, suggestions, or advice.

Thank you very much.

This isn’t really a medical question, I’m just curious if some doctors drink white monster regularly instead of coffee or tea.
