If you can find where this test is available, and you test positive, would you seek to abort the fetus? or accept the burden of producing/raising a defective child?

I was watching some kind of documentary last night that was talking about how in the early 1800's it was called consumption and later to be named tuberculosis. They did not mention if a cure for it had been found. I'm just curious because I know that nowadays people are still being tested for it. What happens if they come up positive?

Over 5 years ago I found out I had emphasema and gave up smoking (Pack of 25 a day for over 25 years). I've had depression problems all my life, and my doctor put me on anti-depressants. At the same time I retired. Any resemblence of a libido has disappeared with the drugs. I've since gained about 55 lbs and now he is harping on my loosing weight. Just curious if any one else has had problems with weight while on anti-depressants. Any thoughts on the subject will be appreciated-Thanks-

I get tired really easily. I have no medical problems except really bad allergies which makes it hard for me to breath sometimes, even though I take Claritin. I enjoy yoga but haven't felt like doing it in a while. I like running but I always have some reason not to go. (mostly good reasons, like I won't be home, etc). I eat really healthy, and often organic. I'm a pescatarian. I also have acne that I'm trying to get rid of. I just got on birth control pills which is helping but I still have scars (mostly bright red marks).

I'd like to be healthy and happy and full of energy this year.
I get tired so fast and I don't know why. I also feel awkward a lot of the time when I hang out with people I don't know that well. My life is pretty good though. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Earlier last month I went to the hair salon and I got a haircut, a few days later my head started to itch, upon further inspection I realized I had a fungal infection. The pharmacist gave me a medicine and told me to use it when I used it for two weeks I stop, because the itching stoped but then the itching started back. Should I use the medicine for a month before stoping what should I do.

My boyfriend is a student dentist and found out recently that I haven't seen a dentist in about 8 years. He found out because I was eating a chocolate and had a sudden severe pain in one of my teeth and then he asked when I'd last been to the dentist. He wanted to examine my teeth but I wouldn't let him because I'm too embarrassed. I'm sure my teeth must be in a pretty bad state by now, I mean I brush regularly, but I don't floss and I do eat quite a lot of chocolate and sweets if I'm honest.

Anyway, I was just wondering, I know you can't really tell without seeing my teeth, but how much work am I likely to need done after 8 years of not seeing a dentist? I don't have any really bad toothaches, except that one tooth that hurt when I was eating chocolate, most of my teeth are generally quite sensitive to cold things as well - is that bad? I use sensodyne toothpaste but it doesn't seem to help.

I'm really freaking out here!!! HELP!!!

Hello,

Me and my girl are trying to conceive. But it seems that she got some vaginal infection lately. There is a slight white discharge from her vagina and the doc says that its urine infection and recommended pills for her. (Candid V3 and Fas3kit and Zocon 150).

Its happened 3 times in that last 3 months.

1st time was a sudden one and we don't have any answer why it could have happened.

2nd time, we had gone out on a trip and she held peeing often due to long travelling hours in bus and she also did not have good intake of fluids. Could this be one of the reason why she catch the infection immediately after the tour.

3rd time - Since we are trying to conceive, after I ejaculate inside her, she sleeps with her knees to her chest for 20 mins and then sleeps without washing her private parts in order to conceive quick. She washes only after around 6 -8 hours? Could this be the reason as well?

Thanks and we are really frustrated over the same and I look to hear serious response.

OK here is the scenario. i have had irregular periods since my first one 20 some years ago. Such as having it for weeks at a time then skipping it for 2-3 months then having it a day then skipping 2 weeks & having it a month etc etc etc. i've lived with it because "some women just have irregular cycles." the dr. says. OK. Then my period was regulated when i finally got on bc pills. But now i have been on the pill for about 4 years and it doesn't regulate anymore. i have now had my period for 24 days straight. Heavy flow for at least 1/2 the time with extra ordinarily large clots. (well at least they seem that way to me - about 1/2 the size of a golf ball maybe) And i get horrendous cramps. I asked my RN at planned parenthood & she says that that is normal & women's bodies change & don't worry. i am only 34. i am heavy - not sure if that makes a difference or not. Should i be worried - or do others experience this same kind of irregularity. Serious answers only please.

im 16, weigh 174, and 5'8". the healthy weight for my height is about 150 so thats my first goal. do you think if i jog everyday (like 6+ laps around a soccer field), if i eat small portions of home cooked meals, that i'll lose weight? my mom cooks portuguese meals. some meals are boiled potatoes with cod fish and brocolli rabe with olive oil and vinegar over it, another is rice with carrots and peas with grilled chicken or pork chops, another is potatoes with chicken or pork. my mom also makes brocolli or green beans every week. to me these foods are healthy. do you think they are?
at breakfeast im thinking about eating a fruit like a banana or an orange with maybe a low fat yogurt.
so do you think if i eat these foods and jog everyday that i'll lose weight effectively?
which foods are best to eat? are rice and potatoes okay to eat when trying to lose weight? i'll cut off all breads and drink lots of water.
so is this a good plan or should i change some things? whats best to do?

Im 26 and Im pregnant so I have alot of indigestion and traped gas. But this morning I felt like my heart jumped or stoped beating for a few secs. It scared me so I jumped up really fast and then I felt faint. I screamed for my husband but by the time he got to me it had stoped and I just felt really shakey. My mom said its indigestion or traped gas and my nerves. Has this ever happened to any of you. Every since it happened it feels like its going to happen again and im belching alot! (i know gross but hey).
Im worried its my heart. Anyone have some insight?
