I've been taking one 500 mg pill of levaquin a day since Tuesday. how much longer will I need to urinate frequently and have leaking? I hve to take the medicine for 3 weeks.

Levaquin is a serious antibiotic for bacterial infection. you must take it to completion, but you will see significant changes in 7 days, typically.

I'm not exactly sure if thats what i have on my head, but i have all of the symptoms of psoriasis, so how serious is it, i read joint pains or arthritis can be caused from it, is that possible?! could my knee pay be involved with the scabs on my head? and how serious is all of this? should i tell my dad or can i just my the meds on my own? are there any home remedies for it?

It can become a serious problem if it is not treated. As I am sure you know already, it can be itchy, scaly and uncomfortable. I have several people in my family who have it and different medications work differently for each of them. I would recommend telling your Dad so you can get a good medication for it. the unfortunate part is it can spread to knees and elbows and other parts of your body. Take care of it now to avoid any further problems. best of luck

It is a good idea to confirm the diagnosis at doctor's office. it might lead to larger problems if left untreated. I found herbal remedies from serenaskin.com that are very effective for my psoriasis. Cream and spray cleared my skin and now i just take anti-psoriasis extract to prevent future flare-ups. it works very well for me.
Best wishes.

I have had it all my life. when you younger it sucks. cause sometimes it can get worse. I don't think your dad would make a big deal about it. my advice for you would to get a GOOD dermatologist. They can help in a lot of ways. BE CAREFULL it's hard to find a good dermatologist. took me 3 to get an amazing one. I had it on my legs head part of my chest and belly. I have tried all the creams and such. Now I'm on Embrell and it has worked wonders for me. Also see if you have good health insurance that helps big time.

I think I may have strep throat and I was wondering if anyone could help me out with describing how it feels and some at home remedies to ease the pain? PLEASE HELP!

if you have strep, it is highly contagious, and you need meds. don't fool around with strep.

Untreated strep throat can cause complications. it is very important to start strep throat treatment in time. We will say something more about this condition, its treatment and complications it can cause if left untreated.

Strep throat infection is caused by bacteria known as streptococcus. this infection usually lasts for several days, and it is treated with antibiotics and home remedies that can be very helpful in shortening the contagious phase. however, if untreated, this infection can result in further complications. Strep throat symptoms can worsen if you do not start your treatment in time or if you do not take your therapy.

What are the Complications of Untreated Strep Throat?

Untreated strep throat can lead to problems like swallowing difficulties, very high fever, severe skin rash, nausea, vomiting, appetite loss, lymph nodes swelling and white patches inside the throat.

These symptoms can be very severe. however, there can be even more serious problems like scarlet fever than can still be treated without major problems, and rheumatic fever, which is a serious condition and can sometimes lead to serious heart issues and pain in joints.

Throat infection can easily spread onto other parts of the body, like ears, which can further result in another infection – ear infection.

Immunity problems are also possible. Bacteria spreading can often result in weak immune system.

Another important thing is that your contagious phase will last much longer if you do not treat this infection in time.

Retention of fluid can also occur as one of the strep throat complications. this happens because of the lymph nodes problems. Fluid retention is manifested through legs or hands swelling, but can occur in other parts of the body, too.

Problems with tonsils can also occur, so as sinusitis, caused by excessive mucus stored inside the sacs of one’s sinuses.

Those were some of the symptoms of untreated strep throat infection. you can experience just one or two symptoms, or you can experience more of them. however, you should react in time and visit your doctor. Leaving strep throat untreated can result in serious health problems. it is not only dangerous to your own health, but to others around you as well. Remember that improper treatment can make you extremely contagious to others.

Flax Capsules May Reduce Psoriasis Symptoms – Aimee Larsen StoddardFlaxseed oil supplements, which are high in omega 3 fatty acids and have anti-inflammatory properties, have shown some benefits for treatment of psoriasis.

Psoriasis sufferers may benefit from the use of flaxseed, which contains omega 3 fatty acids, as a supplement. Psoriasis, an autoimmune skin disease marked by red and inflamed skin covered with scaly patches, is difficult to treat. Currently, no cure for the skin condition exists. Many people who have the disease find some relief from using alternative home remedies.

Flaxseed Properties and Medicinal Uses

Flaxseed comes from the flax plant, which is an annual herb. according to the University of Maryland Medical Center, the flax plant probably originated in Egypt, and Egyptians used the seeds of the plant as medicine.

Flaxseed is made up of four basic components – fiber, oil, protein, and lignans. Flaxseed is high in soluble fiber and a gummy substance called mucilage. It is also rich in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an essential fatty acid, and lignans, which are antioxidants.

Flaxseed is thought to be good for a variety of ailments and diseases. the University of Maryland Medical Center says that the oil in flaxseed “appears to be beneficial for heart disease, inflammatory bowel disease, arthritis, and a variety of other health problems.”

The National Institutes of Health’s National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine notes that flaxseed might be effective as a laxative, may lower cholesterol, may reduce cancer risk, and might reduce hot flashes in post-menopausal women. However, there has not been enough research to conclusively confirm or deny these benefits.

The essential fatty acids in flaxseed has also shown promise in improving skin health and helping with skin conditions like acne, eczema, and psoriasis.

Flaxseed for Psoriasis

Psoriasis can be treated with prescription medications and home remedies. Many of the prescription drugs, including steroids and other topical medications, used to treat psoriasis have negative side effects, so some psoriasis sufferers look for alternative natural remedies.

The omega 3 fatty acids in flaxseed appear to reduce inflammation associated with psoriasis. Flaxseed also “can act as an emollient, helping to seal moisture into the skin,” according to OrganizedWisdom.com. Psoriasis plaques are frequently dry and itchy, especially in the cold and dry winter months, so extra moisture is helpful.

Flaxseed’s use as a treatment of psoriasis has not been extensively studied, though it does show promise. Currently the most compelling evidence for its effectiveness at lessening the symptoms of the disease comes from people who have psoriasis.

There is a section on the National Psoriasis Foundation’s website that is devoted to tips from psoriasis sufferers themselves. several members of the website describe how flaxseed has helped them manage their condition.

One member of the site writes, “I tried everything from creams and lotions, to salt baths and everything in between. I read about a mother who gave her 11-year-old daughter flaxseed oil – within two months the girl was completely clear. I have been taking the flax oil for a month and approximately half of my body is clear now with the other half not producing plaques. I wish I had been told of this years ago.”

Flaxseed Oil and Psoriasis

Unfortunately, there is still no cure for psoriasis, so people who suffer from the skin condition must do what they can to manage their dry, scaly, itchy, and inflamed patches of skin.

Flaxseed has shown some benefits for psoriasis sufferers. the omega 3 fatty acids in flax seem to help reduce inflammation and dryness associated with the skin disease. more research is needed to confirm the benefits of flaxseed for psoriasis.

People who choose to use a flaxseed oil supplement should let their doctor know because the supplement can interfere with the absorption of some medications.
