I have been told by my girlfriend of 2yrs that she had hepatitis B long before we had intercourse. We had used condoms every time we make love so this is not an issue. Is there any medication to totally get rid of her hepatitis B virus?

since having kids my periods are always heavy with cramps, this month, it was a period, but no cramps, not as heavy. My hubby had a vasactomy, so no kids can really happen. I am a very healthy person. What would cause a difference in monthy period flows? I have been on the period for 4 days but it not a really heavy one, it has not stopped so I know its a period. Do women get a light period once in a while?

My boyfriend, whom I love very much is an alcoholic. I am very worried about his health. He has no desire to quit drinking beer. He recently quit liqour because it caused him such severe stomach pain the last time he consumed it that it scared him.
He was introduced to beer at the age of 7 years.
He's been drinking regularly for 21 years, he is 38 years old.
He drinks daily, anywhere from 4 24 oz. beers to a 12 pack, sometimes more.
He gets severe shakes if he attempts not to drink during the day, and will purchase alcohol when the shakes start.
I know a little about alcoholism. I know it's dangerous. I don't drink myself.
I've been with my boyfriend four and one half years, he's experienced severe night time sweating since I met him. It's getting alot worse.
It's hard to get him to go to a doctor for any sickness or injury, but not impossible. I worry about liver disease. On occassion his eyes are yellow, which he attributes to tiredness. Any help. Thank you for your time.

I have trouble with horrendous mood swings. I am a 47 year old female. They had diagnosed me as bipolar, but lithium, depacote, nothing worked, but I gained weight like crazy. I didn't really fit the profile for bipolar other than mood swings (no spending sprees, no promiscuity, etc.). The doctor tried Risperdal and it worked! I felt normal for the first time in years. Then they took a prolactin test, it was 37.7, and normal is 1-20, so he took me off and put me on Seroquel. I am on a therapeutic dose, no relief, still mood swings like crazy and MORE weight gain. Some days I eat nothing at all, and I still gain (and still act crazy). I would like to go back to Risperdal if that number is not completely out of the question. At least if I have to be 30 pounds heavier, I don't have mood swings with the Risperdal. Anyone have any luck with these or other drugs for mood swings, and what did you do about the weight gain? I feel HORRIBLE!

I rang up and asked a nurse at a medical centre and she said u can take it. And i asked a pharmacist and she said u can't take it. So i'm confused. Can anyone help???

My niece just informed me, just before she has to pee a foamy white liquid appears just outside her outer labia. Once she goes it's gone. There's no smell and not pain or itching. What do you think it is?

Yeah, I'm serious. I've heared that eating meat gives you a stronger smell and taste, and avoiding meat will make it different and less harsh. True? Do you know why this is?

Like everyone I have stress in my life. I'm in between high school and college and am I little strapped financially. I've also just bought my first horse and can't keep my mind off of him and questions about him. It is a stressful situation but nothing outrageous. I just can't calm down. I've barely been able to eat and have constant head aches. I try to relax but nothing seems to help. From the moment I wake up until I sleep my heart races with stress and nerves. Any ideas as to how to calm down?

Just resting is taking to long for me to get better. I have things to do!

I've tried those Triaminic Thin Strips that melt away in your mouth but all it did was leave the taste of cough syrup in my mouth.

I got my lip pierced about a month and a half ago, and I know it can take several months to heal, but I'm not sure what's going on is normal.

I've got a bump on the inside of my mouth which hasn't produced puss in weeks, but it is split. It's not incredible painful, but it doesn't seem to be getting better.

My piercer told me about a month ago that I should hold a small cup of "as hot as I can stand" water mixed with the sea salt to it a couple times a day. I do, but does anyone with any experience know of any other suggestions?

Is this an infection, or a keloid scar, or a part of the healing process?

Any advice is appreciated. :-)
