Health - 20 March 2007

Two of my family members (my younger brother and my dad) are sick with high temps and uncomfortable stomahcs. My mom and my other brother are not sick and neither am I. I am going somewhere for the weekend, and I really don't want to get sick and have to miss it. I've been looking forward to it for quite a while.

What are some ways I can help to prevent getting sick? I know the obvious- washing hands constantly and using Clorox or other disinfecting wipes on light switches and door handles... But what are other ways to help me stay healthy? I know there's no 100% effective way, but any tips you have I would be VERY grateful for!! Thanks for any help you can give!

Ok this is a serious question, and I seriously need any help I can get so thats why I'm asking. I've been with this girl lately, in kind of a 'friends with benefits' type of situation. Only when I sleep with her I seem to be hurting her, ('down there'). I mean I am quite a bit taller than her, and above average in the size department. But not like ginormous or anything. And I've never had this problem before, and with past women I get good compliments. But she told me that she's been with much smaller guys before me- so I don't know. But this is a problem that doesn't seem to be going away. Even with lube, different positions, etc. Does it sometimes just take a long time for women to, um, 'adjust'? Or could there be something medically wrong with her?

hello everyone i went to my primary care doctor because of pressure and a clogged up ear and he told me I have Middle ear effusion, which in term means i have fluid stuck in my middle ear, anyway I have had this problem for 6 years now, and learned to live with it after getting misdiagnosed over and over again by ENT's... anyway the doc tested my ear with some sort of instrument that printed out the information, and let him know i had middle ear effusion.. he gave me zyrtec he said that should dry the ear? and that should be the end of it, I am not sure if the zyrtec alone can dry out my ear, have any of you had success with zyrtec alone while having middle ear fluid, doc only gave me 20 days worth of treatment will that be enough?

I feel as if I am slowly loosing a grip on reality and sometimes find myself wondering what it really is. I have always been a bit of a daydreamer but slowly, over the last 2 or 3 years it has started to affect my everyday life. I cannot function as easily as i once could and find myself drifting 'in and out' I have also begun to experience anexity attacks and find myself more and more reluctant to leave the house, when out I avoid eye contact and conversations with other people. I have lost quite a few jobs in the past and am struggling to keep one down at the moment. my brain simply no longer seems to function properly and i feel like i am living my entire life in a slightly hazy bubble. Please help me as this is getting serious, I cannot see my GP as I have great difficulty in explaining myself face to face, i just cannot get the words out in and order that makes sense. I would normally consider myself to be a reasonably intelligent person, however I am suffering from some depressio
