Ok..Over the weekend I was with a guy and one thing led to another. We didnt have sex but I gave him head. Well before I did I asked him if he had anything and he was like No I got tested and I dont have anything and if I didnt I wouldn't let you do this. Well it was my first time giving head so it didnt last long..prolly not even a minute...but Im worried that I might have gotten something. A few days after it happened I noticed that I had a small cut in my mouth..I sometimes chew on the side of my mouth when I sleep or it could have came from the chips that I ate eariler...He didn't get off but can I still get an STD????Keep in mind that it lasted less then a minute and he didnt get off.

What is going on here? I've posted before that I have extremely high blood pressure. I'm only 24 and weigh 130 lbs and I have had a reading of over 210. I was hospitalized and put on 150 mg atenelol and I got even worse. ALl test came back negative, heart, brain, cancer, adrenal.... I was then put on HCZ and diovan and got even worse! It was not lowering my blood pressure and I felt like crap and always anxious! My mom and grandma came to help me and they have improved my diet to an extreme. I have been eating lots of fruits, veggies, whole grains, and calcium tablets. They demanded to the doctors that they take me off of atenelol- the doctors dissagreed. But I got weened off, and now I'm only on Diovan (80 mg) and HCZ 1 pill (25 mg), and still eating all my vitamins, exercise small, and trying to eat more food. NOw my blood pressure is 80/40, and I feel dizzy now. what the hell is going on? Is this medication making me worse. THis blood pressure stuff is making life hell

I think about suicide a lot. I don't actually want to kill myself, but I always think about what it would be like, and that maybe it's the best thing for me to do. But I swear I would never actually go through with it. I've tried talking to a psychologist very recently, but she told me last week that I was fine.

I also suffer from severe anxiety and depression.

i am talking about when women go to a public place and a public restroom, where do they dispose their used tampons and pads? do they just stand in front of the mirror and sink, pull down their pants and change it? or do they go into the toilet stalls then take it out and throw it in the trash? and who cleans up these trash cans? what if many women are having aids, with all that blood. wouldnt it be a health hazard for the janitors? i am obviously a guy so i wouldnt know.

Everyone is so hard on smoking, because they say it causes cancer, but there isn't a single document that can prove a causation. It is not cause and effect, it is an increase in likely hood. I am not say8ing that smoking is good for you, because I am not a complete idiot, but if bans can be put on tobacco, a crop that helped found this nation, can caffine (another addictive substance) or cheeseburgers ( killing us slowly) going to be next on the list of disgusting habits? I am just tired of feeling like I have leaprcy standing out side in a samll roped of area having everyone who walks by tell me how I am going to die. Where are my rights? I think people should be more worried about how much cancer inducing polutants pour out of industrial areas and affecting people around the world, instead of my one tiny cigarrete that only affects the people within fifteen feet of me. I don't know. What do you all think?

I go to sleep everynight on my back, but when I wake in the morning, I'm on my side with my hand under my eye. When I wake up my face is red and I've created a deep crease in my forhead. The crease won't go away and the redness stays for about 4 hours. Worst of all I pull my eye open while I'm sleeping and now my vision is becoming imparied in that eye.

We have a very good quality bed that I find very comfortable. This started about 6 months ago.

How do I train my body not to sleep this way?

I have a rash on my toes (not between, mostly just on the tops and bottoms at the ends before the nail) that is red and very dry. it scales and peels, and it itches like all out. I have excema too, but this isn't like any excema I've ever had before. I have tried lotrimin ultra, but it hasn't really helped very much. Any tips? or should i just go to a dermatologist?
