My son has an initial infection of herpes simplex virus type 1 (cold sores). He has multiple sores in his mouth - tounge, gums, lips, throat. Our local rural health aides have advised us to scrub all of his sores with either salt water or water with baking soda. They told us to scrub until it bleeds. I was wondering if this was necessary. We also dab his sores with a one-to-one mixture of maalox and infants benadryl for numbing.

I went swimming on 2 occasions in 2 different pools and this same, gross, very strong, fishy odor was there. I had the Nuvaring in both times. I took the Nuvaring out, douched, and the smell went away. I was just wondering if this has happened with anyone else??? It made me feel so gross, so now, I don't swim, I'm afraid it will happen again and someone will smell it, its that strong.

It seems like nothing big has ever been cured, we just keep adding new diseases. Being diabetic, I thought this would be an easy cure because if your pancreas doesn't work islets of langerhorn can be injected into your pancreas and work to produce insulin. Problem is rejection by the body and taking pills to prevent rejection. It's like being right on the doorstep of a cure for one of the most common diseases in this world and sitting there waiting waiting waiting.

Now, I strongly believe that curing something like diabetes would take billions of dollars away from your major drug companies and also prolong the lifes of many millions. I believe that the powers that be would not want this.

My question is, has anything been cured in the past 100 years which is a disease? Does anyone know of any promising diabetic research?

Iam a male, I have very few friends if any, spend my weekends alone and I ponder the past alot. I used to have a group a friends that where like my brothers, some events happened and i pretty much have not talked to them in over 2 years. I graduate from college in a year they graduated this semester. I feel alone and I am wondering why I seem to be so uptight now and never was this way back then. Honestly though it cant be healthy to have no friends. I think im in that boat. Any advice!!! Sometimes I shy away from trying to meet new people, thinking that im screwed up and noone would want to be my friend... help

Its hard for me, I cant blame it over stress but sometimes all it takes is just a stupid insignifficant comment and I will be set off. I am not saying in a crazy way. But I will begin to say hurtfull things to that person. Who ever it may be. Freinds and Family. Its funny how we are good at solving other peoples problems but when it comes to our own we are kinda lost.

Had the illness for 10years and am only 36, it has changed my life dramatically! Unable to work, socialize, pursue a relationship amongst other things! Tried every health product, read lots of books, tried so many different things to get well! I do know alot about cfs and attend a support group monthly. I am at the stage again where I am fed up! Changed diet & exercise, nothing is working, pace myself. Know heaps about the condition but I seem to be deterioating and if worse comes to worse will have to enter a nursing home and give up my independance which is the last thing I want. Hopefully someone out there can help me somehow as Ive tried doctors, alternative medicines, vitamins, yoga, diet, lifestyle! You name it, lve tried it and am sick to death of wasting my time when there is no improvement. Counselling is good for some but as soon as the london scientist come up with a blood test to diaganose it and medication to treat it - I just have to hang in there, like everyone else!!T.C

I am about 25 pounds overweight which probably contributes to my sweating. However, I have had this probem all of my life. Everyone around me is calm and cool and I'm hot and sweaty. It has been very embarrasing most of the time. I've had to leave a church service because I could not stop sweating. Is there a cure for this problem? Please give me some answers to rectify the problem.

It comes and goes. When it's there my stomach is hard from just below my breasts down. It's not a gassy feeling, and I'm not nauseated. I have been regular. It just hurts and is uncomfortable. Could it be a virus?

I bike about 5~10 miles everyday (Minimum 5 miles) and it takes me about an hour. The track includes about half hills and half flat-way. Is this enough cardio to burn fat?

I remember all about where I thought of a really good idea, what I was doing at the time when I came up with the good idea, and saying that good idea to myself over and over again so that I wouldn't forget it, reassuring myself that I wouldn't forget because it is such an easy concept that I'll remember it anyway... but in the end, I always forget.

It makes me want to flip over tables or something, and slap my head off its neck.

I always forget important stuff that I come up with while I am driving my car.

Shoulda wrote it down!

But what can I do to remember it now?

I'm really scared of bugs, every time I see one, no matter how tiny it is, I'll just freak out. Especially when they occasionally appear in the kitchen, I'll totally freak out and fear to go into the kitchen anymore. How do I over come this?
