Health - 25 January 2007

Well, it looks like I'm not the only one seeking reassurance on this...
Here's the deal:
I'm usually on birth control, because my period comes twice a month if I'm not. After one cycle, I forgot to take the pills, and by the time I remembered, it would have been stepping on the next cycle, so I decided to just let it come. I knew it would, because it usually happens TWICE a month. How could I suspect that it wouldn't come at ALL this month?? But the problem is, I don't know exactly when my last one was. All I know is, it's been more than a month, and every day I hope that every little stomach pain is cramps. But it never is. Of course I'm a little paranoid, because my boyfriend and I, who had been seperated for months, have just started being sexually active again.... BUT we DEFINITELY haven't done THAT. Mostly because I've been so paranoid. We didn't do the pull-out method, or anything stupid like that. So basically I just want confirmation... I can't be pregnant, right??

ppl make me think my libido is just too high.. everyone i meet tells me that they've never ever met a person as horny as i am.. i can't seem to get enough and when i do, i just start all over again in no time.. sometimes i feel that i'm too horny that i might collapse! (Literally!!)..
currently it is not troubling me much, but i had to break up with my guy cuz i couldn't commit.. and i like this guy that i know in advance i won't commit to!!
i don't want to become a person ppl don't respect.. how can i control my libido without losing it???

I'm so fed up with life..I'm in my mid twenties, and ever since I've turned 20 life has been an uphill battle.. I graduated from college, hated my career, got in serious credit card debt, father passed away unexpectantly, and now living with my Mom while working on another degree.. I have very few friends, and the ones I do are an hour away or more.. I feel like I missed the boat, while everyone is having a house a family, and career. I'm just stuck. Ihave no one to talk to. My mom breaks down and cries everytime I say I'm sad... she's like why I don't have a good life either. I went thru the depression bit, was on meds for two years and then gained 60 ibs.. i feel i don't have a good support network, and I'm afraid it won't get better.. i feel like i'm destined to be unhappy the rest of my life.. what if I don't like the next career, I just want to be happy..it's like I can't get off this merry go round

My hair is falling out due to stress, I have been to the docs and had blood tests etc and he basically said it was down to stress!

Will my hair grow back? Or will I go completely bold?

Hi, I'm a healthy 25 yr old male, I eat a healthy diet and drink more than 2 litres of water per day. I use a good antibacterial face wash and moisturise every morning and night. I take a multi vitamin, including cod liver oil to help my skin. I also do a lot of exercise - cardio and weigh training on a daily basis

Not that my skin is noticabley bad - i just seem to have a prob with whiteheads on my nose and sometimes the occasional spot on my face.

I wash with hot water and cloth and pat my face, then gently apply face wash, then pat it off with warm water, then towel pat dry, then moisturise with st-ives.

Should I let my nose go dry by not moisturizing it? Or does that make it worse? When I get a spot, should I avoid moisturising that part of my face?

Any tips would be great

Best answer chosen as always thanks

lets sum up what we know:

1) it is not a communicable disease, that is its not air borne or water etc... (this includes mosquito)

2) it can infect through an infected syringe, that means its in the blood

NOW:

if it is in the blood, why doesn't a mosquito bite transfer the disease (like malaria),

That means some chemical in a mosquito kills the virus rite?

I was just patting my new cat and started feeling a little ichy on my hands/arms and chest. After I put her down I washed my hands and realised I have patches on my arms and chest that are red with lumps. (And my nose running as well.) I have a feeling I am allergic to our beautiful cat.
Does anyone know if there is some thing I can take to help so as I can keep cuddling my new cat???
I REALLY do not want to get rid of her!

Hey guys, have a quick question for you. I went to open a door recently and, after touching the knob, I realized there was dry or semi-dry blood on it. Not really thinking, I bent down to get a cloer look, for fear I just came in contact with semi-wet blood. I forgot I was wearing my hair kinda spiky that day, and when I bent my head down over the door knob some of my hair came into contact with the blood (I know this becasue I felt something brush up against my hair). I am worried now that my hair may have become contaminated with blood, especially HIV or Hep C. Will taking a simple shower in hot water, using shampoo, rinse away any blood and make my hair clean again, or do I need to use something stronger say antibacterial soap? Is it possible for the blood, or HIV to soak into my hair, staying there perminatley? Should I cut off the part of my hair that came into contact with the blood? Please help.
Thanks
