I have developed skin tags (wobblers)around my pubic area and have had a white discharge from the head of my penis which seems to have abated now but the rough skin and wobblers in my affected area are often very itchy.

Common feeling amongst many - "I feel all alone because nobody around me understands"

Well, I'm just kicking back watching the Tampa Bay/Dallas Wildcard Game

I work with two different Diabetes mentoring programs – a “regular one” and a “Bootcamp”

For any that have Served and had the pleasure of Basic Training they would recognize our Bootcamp technique – it’s fashioned the same way – you are told what to think and what to do to try and teach you what you need to know

To do what is expected… read more

I might accept it if they said that my condition *might* be progressive. Can you imagine how some/many diabetics feel when told their condition was progressive? Many may have thought what’s the point and not bother to manage their condition because quite simply the professionals held out no hope.
