There is a friend to a friend of mine. When he was borned, there was some kind of difficulties or something ( i'm not sure) that made the doctors to leave some part of the baby's umbilical cord. Now he is 12 years old and having a normal life as other normal kids. The umbilical cord can be felt at the navel and it looks like a red-jelly-like ( fortunately it is not getting bigger or worse). After i found out about this, i was wondering maybe now he lives a normal life but what about in the future?

My sister hasn't been acting at all like herself ... for a while. I know that her boyfriend has been arrested for possession of crack, even though she swears she's never done it. Are there any signs to look for that she's using this particular drug?

Huffing is getting high by drinking bottles of cough syrup, or by sniffing model airplane glue, gasoline, butane, or paint. It is basically using household products to get high or get a rush. Can a person that does this stop at any time or do they need a 12 step program or rehab? How widespread is this problem in the United States?

my boyfriend boyfriend quit smoking only a few days ago, and he has horrible gas. this is not his first attempt and everytime the same problem, so we can be pretty positive that the not smoking is the cause of the problem. please let me know if this is normal, as i've never heard of such and effect. also, what can we do about it? he smells just awful. thanks

I took a spinning class and was on the bike for one solid hour.. I really had to push myself to finish it. Well that day my legs felt alittle like rubber, the next day they felt alittle sore, the next day they were reeeeally sore, and today I can't bend my leg without feeling terrible pressure/pain/almost burning. What the hell did I do?!? did I damage muscle? is this normal?

I have a friend who was 19 or 20 and she recently died in her sleep from a blood clot that was too close to her heart. This now has me worried as to what caused it because i don't know what causes blood clots. She was overweight, but i don't know if that would have to do with it. Now that has me worried because of course i don't want that happening to me or anyone else i know so can anyone tell me what causes a blood clot like that this young, and how can you prevent that. She basically had a heart attack from what i was told.

When my wife was younger she lost her virginity when she was raped. Due to our dual deployments to iraq we havent been able to be intament in over a year, so we have both declared ourselfs born again virgins. We will soon have the chance to see each other again and she sees this as a chance to erase her past and re-write her "first time". Any advise for me, as this is a subject that I know very little about. I'm afraid that this may trigger past memories and emotionsfor her.

An anurism deep in the brain that was not known about until it burst. Doctors said that even if they had cought it beforehand, it was too far in the brain to fix. I would like to know if they would still be able to know what was going on around them right after it happened. And/or if they would still be able to function right after it burst.

I know you should report it right away. I thought my back was just sore(I put away freight all night). The next night I couldn't stand long enough to make dinner, and called off. The following night I went to work, thinking it was getting better. Within a few hours I just wanted to cry. I was getting sharp shooting pains and my thigh started going numb. Then my calf started cramping as I was walking. Now my hand feels tingly(same side as numb thigh). I want to go to the doctor tomorrow, but I can not afford it. I am somewhat worried. This all started on Sunday night. My company ( a tempory agency) is self insured. Is it to late to get them to pay for the doctor? Thanks for the help!

I've been told if i just take my piercing out and let the hole close up that it will become an infected cyst or something. When it ripped through my pierced hole, it made my hole as big as the flower i had in it.

There is someone very close to me suffering from deep depression. This person is very attached to me and from the looks of it, it is the primary cause of her depressive state. My question is, am I going to be held responsible if ever she dies?
