Ok i know someones boyfriend that cheated on his girlfriend and he claims he was drunk and the girl dragged him into the next room and had sex with him. He says she might as well raped him. What a joke i think.
Also if you are drunk (to you men) how can your penis even get up?
Please explain this to me..Thanks

Occasionally, I have problems sleeping. Is this triggered off by food, drink, stress?

I believe I have IBS. I was just wondering, do you know what the symptoms are? Can I go to my regular doctor to get tested? How do they test for IBS?

He gets pain in the stomach on and off. It is very severe pains as well (screaming and crying). It started with diarrhea and gas which has the worst, most distinct smell I've ever smelt. We just found blood in his feces. It has been going on for about 3 days now getting worst every day.
Any ideas on what it could be and if we should take him to the ER tonight?

In Canada in the summer I burn and peel easy. But in Thailand where it's sunny and hot everday I don't?

It's like the rays are more powerfull in Canada....however Thailand is closer to the equator...

Why is that?

Whats the difference?
Who do I go to with failed relationship grief and who do I go to thinking that the reason for my failed relationships may be due to my upbringing/childhood. I don't want to walk into someones office and come out believing I was molested as a kid (which I wasn't)
I do have self esteem issues, disguised from the public, mostly. I'm the 'Dear Abby' among friends. 'The strong one'. 'Fifibee will set you right". I'm a thinker, a worrier, a non-judgemental, humorous, wise, stupid, dreamer, an advocate of right , rights for everyone, insecure, sensitive and lately a recluse, physically and mentally.
I know some of my issues will probably be proved to be early years related (big family), but I feel I got over that. I want to be cured for the here and now, without delving into the past that I'm now comfortable with. Whom do I see?
Thank you.

Are you, or someone you love, addicted to prescription drugs? Do you feel that Dr.'s are prescribing narcotics to people who don't really need them?

How do we handle a war on drugs when these drugs are legal?

I cannot believe how much toilet paper women use just to wipe a drop of pee away. Took me forever to break my wife of this now my mother in law lives with me. She uses more in a week than I use in 2 months. Can anyone explain this?

I am having an attack right now. I want to let go and give in but I always fight it, even though I KNOW nothing bad is going to happen. It always gets me. Always. Sometimes I drink and self-medicate. It's very depressing and makes me suicidal sometimes. Not that I'd ever do anything like that, but it's just so much needless pain. I wonder if anyone's going through the same thing right now...

I have tried a lot of things but I just can't get over my shyness. I used to not be shy but then all of a sudden I became real shy and now I feel most comfortable when I am alone and uncomfortable when put in social settings.

My kids came home from my inlaws where they stayed the night. About an hour later I put her in the tub and she started calling me because there were fleas in the water. Some were up the side like they were trying to run. My mother in law has had fleas for a long time. They don't really care to get rid of them though. I have even bought her flea drops for her dog and my kids say she throws it away. She doesn't have carpet, so they must be bad. I have never seen such a thing. Now I worry that they are in my daughters hair (shes only six yrs old) or may have got in my house, carpet, etc. Also, when my mother in law visits she may carry them in herself. If my kids had them from 24 hours of visiting then she obviously does. How can I make sure they aren't in my house or on my daughter? I tried the lamp and water trick any other serious suggestions would be appreciated.

OK, Friday afternoon I went out to eat at Hooters (Oooh, yes, HOOTERS) and had a hamburger cooked rare. Before I went to bed that night, I started to throw up. Could it have been the burger? Or is it something else, like the flu? I haven't thrown up all day...and I'm starving. Is it OK to eat something big, like a meal, or should I give it a couple of days and just continue on eating crackers? Thanks!

I am 17 years old, and I have seborrheic dermatitis on my face. I've had it for about 4 years. I've tried hydrocortisone cream, aloe vera, and washing my face with dandruff shampoos. Nothing works. I just use moisturizer to smooth down the scales. I feel disgusting. I am sick of going out with flakes on my face. I am sick of putting on enormous amounts of makeup to draw attention away from my flaking skin. I'm so embarrassed. Nothing works, and I just want the flakes to go away. If anyone has any treatments I might have overlooked, please let me know.

I've taken several different types of antidepressants and I just don't feel like I'm me when I'm taking them. My cardiologist is going to say no, so I'm not going to let him know until I've been zoloft-free for several weeks. Any suggestions about dealing with the side-effects... an anxious buzz, dizziness, stomach problems and I can't seem to breathe very deeply. I've been off of them for about two weeks now.

I was wondering if there was any way to relieve severe back and neck pain without the use of drugs (including asprin NSAIDS and other OTC meds). Is the best way massage or something of the like? My last resort is surgery. Please help! Best answer gets 10 points!

Sometimes when I'm sleeping my leg will randomly twitch and wake me up. Does anyone know what causes the twitch? I've heard that it's quite common. Is there anything I can do about it or do I just deal with it?

My daughter had a reaction to penicillin and was given "anti-hive" Claritin for it. She still has the rash/hives. How long should I wait to see results and for the hives to go away before I contact the doctor again? THANKS!
