Intervention or no?

My mom is addicted to painkillers, and it's getting so bad that she is skipping work and sometimes just spends all day in bed. I want to have an intervention for her, but what if that just makes the situation worse? What if she never speaks to me again?

Seizure surgery?

I have suffered from seizures for years now. I have tried three different seizure drugs with varying degrees of success. My dr. says I fit the criteria of people who may benefit from epilepsy surgery. I guess I just really want some support. I'm really scared of undergoing this surgery (Temporal lobe surgery) because the risks are problems with language and memory. I know my chances are good, but I worry about the results afterwards.

Facial

I have some kind of irritation on the left side of my face and irritation on my cheeks which appear after I work out or after I take a shower, they dont seem to be there after a couple of days if I do not do either. If anyone has some information on this it would be helpful.

Looking for Help with Psorasis

Hi there. I was diagnosed six months ago with psoriasis. So far, the disease is just on my legs and I can hide it most of the time. The patches aren't that big, but very annoying and itchy. I'm sick of having it. My doctor has given me a couple different creams to try, but nothing is working. Both are cortisone creams. I also put on lotion and make sure I moisturize all the time, but no luck. Nothing is helping. I'm so frustrated. I am thinking of seeing a specialist and may a natural medicine doctor or something. I can't live like this.

blisters on hands and feet

I have no idea what is going on with me! For 3 weeks I have been getting blisters on the palms of my hands, fingers and on the soles of my feet. Also, vaginal pain and what feels like either blisters or some kind of vaginal sores. Does anyone have any idea what could possibly be going on here? I also have been having lower abdominal pain. I have had a complete hysterectomy. Also, all this time my eyes have been uniformly red. Not like allergy redness. Again, I have no idea what is wrong. I have not changed soaps, lotions or anything like that. Can anyone help?

Been depressed for a long time

I've been depressed in some form or fashion for a long time now. Never really tried to get help for it, just let it be since I was always just a mellow person. Right now though, my depression is at it's all time high. I am going through a messy divorce. Wife and I grew apart a long time ago but I never thought the woman I married would have turned around and cheated on me. It hurts so much, mainly because we have a beautiful daughter together, but still, she scarred me badly. I shut myelf down to her last year and after a while she did the same to me.

Alzheimer's nursing care

Hi, My mother has Alzheimer's Disease. She is 82 and it has gotten very severe. She has been living with my brother and sister-in-law, who is a nurse by trade, but it's getting to be too much for her. I'm interested in hearing people's experiences regarding home care versus a nursing home. My sister-in-law and brother have a large home and money is not the problem - we could have someone be with her. However, I'm wondering if maybe a nursing home would be better, or more stressful for her? Any advice would be great. Thank you.

In need of advice

So I was with this guy for 5 years and this last april found out he cheated on me when my pap came back abnormal and I had contracted HPV.  As devistating as that was I'm now dealing with a whole new level of confusion.  I think I have herpes.  I have these open sores around my vigina that are oozing and bleeding a little bit and extreamly painful.  I have an appointment with a doctor tomorrow to get tested but I'm terrified.  I have recently entered a new relationship and he knows about the HPV but I'm scared the herpes or what ever I have will scare him off. 

Herpes medication

Hi there: I was diagnosed with genital herpes about 14 months ago. My doctor prescribed Valtrex. I've only ever had one outbreak - the initial one. My prescription ran out 2 months ago and I haven't bothered to get it refilled. I haven't had an outbreak yet. I am thinking I am not going to bother to refill it, because I'm tired of pumping my body full of prescription drugs. I don't want to have another outbreak though. I am trying to eat well, get enough sleep and manage my stress. has anyone else out there gone off the drugs? was it successful?

skin blisters extremely itchy

Our family has been suffering some sort of skin rash for well over a month, with the exception of our oldest boy. We all seem to be getting some kind of blisters, that when scratched release clear fluid and then dry up but remain itchy for days...even weeks! They are not bites...there is no center indicating a sting. They are like heat blisters but extremely itchy like flea bites. They resemble impentego (excuse the spelling) but they do not form yellow crusts and are not on anybody's face except mine. They are effecting all parts of the body in varying degree's.
