My back has occasionally had pain but that is from sitting down a lot, mostly without support on my back. I'm not sick, coughing up blood, my lymph nodes (whatever those are) are not acting up and I'm not fatigued, aside from eye strain.

Hi Facepunch. Before I start, a little back-story. When I was 12-13 years old, I thought that I had a tapeworm infection and went a little crazy because of it. I turned out okay (didn't have a tapeworm [i think. i never really got tested]), but I got diagnosed with OCD. Now I'm 16, and I'm starting to think I might be panicking again, hopefully for no reason. Lately, my parents have been fishing and bringing home the fish they caught to cook it. For the past few days, my appetite has been less than usual, and I've been constipated. I've also seemed to have lost a small amount of weight. Am I having an OCD fit, or could I possibly have some kind of worm infection?
Do tapeworms even live in fish?

I got a pilonidal cyst removed at the start of summer, pretty much ruined all the exercise I planned doing. I'm still having the packing on it changed daily, should it be completely healed by the end of next month?
My chest stopped hurting. I wonder what that was all about.

Because if all of those tick off you could have an Amoebae parasite, as I was recently diagnosed with Blastocystosis Homonosis which is one of those Amoebae parasite you can get it from all sorts of things, such as wild game fish or game animals/farm animals.

Also keep your back/neck in line with your body. swimming could help also.

Dear Doctor Facepunch, My eyes are weird. Have been ever since I can remember. There is a constant background noise to my vision; it's the equivalent of someone holding a florescent light up to a piece of paper which has shifting, oil-like patterns on it up in front of my eyes. Only not quite as oily, more like static... Anyway, it'd most noticeable when looking at flat surfaces, or when everything is dark, or on bright surfaces.... like I said, it's pretty much everywhere, flashing constantly. Moving objects sometimes leave trails, or if I look from one object to another that will also leave trails, sort of like the negative image you get when you look at something bright, but it fades a lot faster. Anyone got any ideas?
I've got blisters on my heels and every time I walk outside with shoes over time they return.
Just want to confirm that this is what it is: [img]http://www.ageless.co.za/SMgel/stretch-marks-striae-rapid-growth.jpg[/img] I've had this for 3 months (I've grown 2 and a half inches during the summer) and I just want to confirm that it's stretch marks from rapid growth. It's not from being fat because I'm a twig. It's on my rib cage, btw.

I'm starting to think it's probably just constipation. The only thing giving me doubts is my loss of weight. Usually, when I weigh myself, I see 160, but in the past two days, it was 153. Yesterday, I weighed myself twice and got both 153 and 157, though. So I don't know.

What's a sure-fire way to know if you're schizophrenic without going to a doctor and getting officially diagnosed and not labeled by everyone you know as 'handicapped' or 'mentally ill'? I'd really prefer to avoid that bullshit. I've gotten this far in my life with what I think is some sort of Schizophrenia, possibly paranoid and I'd like everyone to keep viewing me in the same manner, but does anyone have a way to confirm it?

The thing about it is that you believe the hallucinations are real so you have to rely on other people to know if they aren't.
I've been socialising every other day for the last six weeks. [i]Socialising[/i] in Norway generally means "binge-drinking" and "regretful drunken sex with women you don't really like" when you're a student (or a high schooler [or a twelve-year-old]). Six weeks of drinking and I now have cold sweats, the shakes and a cough that makes people cringe. My question is, is my liver dead yet or can my body endure this and survive for another couple of weeks?
If you have to ask "Will this kill me?" then you're stupidly over the line...
[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;31984080]If you have to ask "Will this kill me?" then you're stupidly over the line...[/QUOTE] I asked that jokingly of course. My real question is whether or not a month and a half of moderately heavy drinking will bring long-term damage, or would you need to drink for far longer periods of time?
[QUOTE=Anonim;31984112]I asked that jokingly of course. My real question is whether or not a month and a half of moderately heavy drinking will bring long-term damage, or would you need to drink for far longer periods of time?[/QUOTE] I'd imagine that this is quite a silly question. if you're worried that you'll get damaged enough to ask, then just stop drinking. At this rate, you're bound to run into problems eventually. I'm not a doctor or anything, just a healthy application of common sense. Stop drinking, or your liver will take damage. Simple as that.
here's a lovely problem i think my body produces a shit ton more nasal mucus than it should , I get horrible bad breath from it ( not even a few hours after brushing it starts to reek ) and I regularly have to swallow a bunch If I ever grog it out I notice it to be a dark reddish colour. Facepunch , have I had a nasal infection for about 2 years or am I menstruating from my nose despite being a man.

Are you sure it's mucus and not just heavily congealed blood?
