Health - 4 February 2007

My best friend of 14 years was diagnosed with herpes a while back and it has humiliated and devestated her. She has a bad habit of sleeping with people and not telling them until after the fact, afraid that they won't want to be with her.The first guy she was with after the diagnosis didn't care b/c he has such low self esteem anyways and just wanted to stay with her forever. She isn't with him anymore though. After that, she moved onto another man (2 yrs later), slept with him, and lied and said she JUST found out she had it. I get onto her about this but she just gets mad at me. She never wants to tell her partners and then I feel guilty when she sleeps with them b/c I knew. Should I tell her partner if she doesn't or should I just stay out of it?

The average wieght for a 15 year old is supposed to be like 130 pounds but not all 15 year olds are 130 pounds even the ones who are skinny arent they are still overwieght so i think that there are more people overwieght because the wieght is too low. who agrees with me?

Are there any ingredients in the San Francisco Bay Certified Organic Rainforest Blend Shade Grown 100% Arabica coffee that could make him, i.e., vomiting, dry heaves, severe headaches, trembling and total exhaustion. We are trying to find the cause of his illness by process of elimination. He is a disabled vet and the Veterans Hospital t is 90 miles from us and he is not able to drive that far. The wait in the emergency room there could be as long as 3 to 5 hrs. Does anyone have any answers or know of anyone who may have this problem? I would appreciate replies and thank you.

I have a massive tooth ache and I am BROKE. I have ibuprofen and that helps me cope with the pain, but I can't take them for the rest of my life. I need the infection to go away. Will Cephalexin work? I don't want to take it if it isn't going to work, it will work for something later I am sure. Man if it will work I need to know. Please tell me.

I've had a friend for almost 16 years now, but I guess we took different roads and aren't as close as we used to be. She started taking some amphetamine-based drugs which supposedly are weight-control pills (although she is very fit!), and the side-effects of these drugs include paranoia.

She started acting paranoid, up to the point of thinking that the creators of google are out to 'get her', she thinks that her phone was wired and that there are cameras set up everywhere she goes.

Her mother hasn't been a part of her life since early childhood, and her father lives with his present wife. She is very independent and doesn't accept criticism or help. I would like to help her before it's too late, but I perfectly realize that I won't be able to get her to a re-hab, heck, I wouldn't even be able to make her admit she has a problem.

Maybe some of you faced this problem, and can offer pertinent advice.

Thank you in advance for reading this.

I have been depressed & unable to control my emotions for the past 7 months, due to a bad breakup. I have been in therapy and also have been seeing a psychatrist. He has put me on several anti-depressants, but my body cant handle them, I get sick or feel worst then before.I dont know what to do anymore. I feel a lot of resentment towards him, I get sad and cry alot, then that fuels alot of anger, in which I dont know how to control. I feel helpless and have very low self esteem. There have been times where I feel I just dont want to be anymore. I dont know how to deal with these emotions, they can be very overwhelming. I have tried to be around positive people, I try to go out. But when I have a moment alone to think, it all comes rushing back. I figured time would help, but it hasn't.I feel alone, betrayed, devalued, and really sad about how it all happened, it was not my choice. What should I do?Can someone who can relate please tell me? Never had depression until this happened.

I was wandering what to do about this. My 4 year old daughter has a swollen spot on the left side of her neck under her ear. She says it hurts, but only when something touches it. My mom said it was probably her lymph nodes. What causes this, is it serious, and what should I do?
