Health - 13 July 2006

My boss is 23 today... on Monday, he went to the ER because he kicked a board... and the right side of his body became numb... he also lost his speach. Later that evening he got released... they told him that he had dehydration... Today, I got a call from his dad saying that he was going to the ER again. I asked why... he said that the same thing was happening, just on the opposite side. I am not too sure, but it sounds like a series of strokes to me... I have never heard of severe dehydration doing that to someone... and I have been to the hospital for dehydration myself.

I guess my question is what are the symptoms of a stroke... and is it possible for dehydration no matter how sever it is to do this to a person?

We figure there HAS to be a genetic tendency for this to run in familes. Three of my four children and my husband have all had ACL ruptures and surgeries ... and that doesn't count the additional meniscus surgeries! But, we'd love to know if there is any documented proof or medical studies that have been done regarding this.

Soon i will be going to south africa and i have been told i will soon have to start taking malaria pills to prevent getting malaria. Ive heard though that there are some side effects and wanted to know what they are eg, making you sick. If this is the case is it just at the start of you taking the pills or through the whole treatment? I will have to be away for a month so it would suck to be sick that long. Ive also heard some types give you nightmares. I wouldnt mind that so what are those called.

Has anyone else noticed that in the Viagra commercials they recommend contacting a doctor if the erection lasts more than 4 hours? Why would you do this instead of calling all the women you know? Unless maybe the doctor is a female? Wouldn't most women be thankful this has happened?

For the record - No, I'm not using it, I just find the commercials kind of funny.

I always think i could not possibly be hypnotized.. but i see alot of magicians hypnotizing people easily. Yesterday, Criss Angel mind freak was about this. and Criss hypnotized a bunch of people in the street simply by giving them flyiers with special messages written on them.. All the people would fall to the ground asleep seconds after they looked at the flyers... So people are so weak and cannot avoid being hypnotized??? this is freaky, .. think about it.. bad criminals or rapist or whatver, hypnotizing a bunch of innocent people....

To all store clerks: When a Customer only asks for Marlboro, why do you have to ask whether its menthol, medium, 100's, lights or ultra lights. Marlboro is Marlboro, pure and simple.

For those people that ask for Marlboro and really want a variation of it, they should be told that us store clerks are not mind readers.
Be specific of what you ask for.

Why do the rest of us have to suffer for other peoples mistakes?

I had sex with this women, about a month ago, and after that my testicle have started to itch. Can this be STD? If its not STD what is it? It doesn't itch that bad, but it still does.

Is it true that sex offenders cannot be cured and are likely to continue their unacceptable behavior for the rest of their lives?
