Visiting a rainforest in Africa for the 1st time,that borders a river w/ plenty of mosqutoes& flies, tommy discovers weird plants and animals such as the "Mona" monkey which locals believe to be bad luck along with his visitor carl who is visiting africa for the 2nd time.The next day carl becomes sick & has a high fever, serious headache, face + tounge are bright red, and chills.Day 2 carl is laid out flat ont he bed barely able to move from terrible back pain, with bleeding gums, and vomiting blood. No "petechia" on legs and chest.Day 3 carl is better and moving about.Day 4 carl becomes ill and bumping into things and chanting lyrics to Beatles songs, skin funny yellow color& local nurse claims carl is going into shock. The whole time tommy remains healthy and doesn't get sick!

hello there! just looking for some advice. i want to lose
10-15 lbs- i'm not overweight, but different roles in my life require me to be a certain weight, and right now i'm curvy. i think i eat very healthy (breakfast= fruit and a healthy cereal, sometimes yogurt; lunch= a small sandwich, whole wheat and white meat, tomatoes and grapes, and dinner is usually more diverse, like homemade pizza or pasta, but my portions are much less than everyone else around me). i drink lots of water. am pretty active, run every day (though not that far) and dance once a week, as well as pilates once a week. i don't understand why i am not losing this weight... so irritating! any tips or advice or anything? thank you so much ;)

example: in parts of africa they put fire(as a source of heat) near a swolllen part and massage it. in terms of your answers, It doesnt matter whether the treatments work or not. just as long as they're used and practised. they dont even have to be practised often. please provide what the purpose is, like what is it meant to heal. im sur you can even find out from parents. THANKS

My doctor says I have Fibromyalgia, and gave me Elavil. 2nd opinion doc says Rhumatoid arthritis, and to see a Rhumatoligist. My research showa Elavil is an antidepressant, will mess with my birth control, and the side effects are some of my original symptoms. I cant take aleve (sent my bp soaring) and tylenol/motrin messes with my stomach. I'd love to hear from anyone about this. Thanks

between 95 and 110 BPM for the last 10 years, now lately it has gone up to a 125 average, during a resting state, her husband is freaking out saying it's too high, is it so high we should all be concerned for her? Is she at risk for a heart attack or other problems? If so what can we do to lower it naturally, as in no drugs?

I get really REALLY anxious when I'm in crowds. I get cotton mouth, lose my hearing, get tunnel vision, and my body temp fluctuates uncontrollably. I know that this is a panic attack. Are there any ways to help me relax around crowds? I like to go to clubs with my fiance, and I like to go to concerts. I'm also a musician, so I perform a lot, yet can never be in a crowd. What can I do ahead of time to prepare or relax me? Is there anything I can take to help handle it?

A person 'pretends' or imagines they're are sick when they are surrounded by genuine ill people even when they are perfectly healthy themselves.
ie friend A has serious health problem. Friend B pretends they have problems too when they have nothing.
