Ok, so I keep seeing all these herpes medication commercials all over the TV. No big deal, whatever. The commercials say that 70% of people with herpes got it from their partner when they had symptoms of an outbreak. However, how do you keep your partner from getting it then? Cause the girl on the commercial doesn't have it but her partner does. Anyone have any ideas? Just wondering cause I really have no idea about it.

dear all,

my mother have consumed hypertension medication for ten years, but recently her blood pressure is still quite high.. there are times it reached to 170/100.

Currently she consumes "Tensifax", which contained Amlodipine 5mg. And yesterday, her dr suggest her to increase the dosage to 10mg.

What do you think of this increase? Is there any side effect? By then, it's impossible to decrease it again?

Fyi, she is diagnosed with arythmia before although last checking by cardiologist, it seems normal.

Thanks a lot for all your answers.

I basically eat the same thing for breakfast all week & and the same things for lunch, Monday - Friday. I usually eat something different for dinner every day. Will this have a negative impact on trying to lose weight. The things I eat are all healthy and fall within my calorie range.

I got my body fat percentage taken for softball, and they used a caliper. After they were done, they came up with a number...48. I know that my body fat percentage isn't 48% because that would be completely ridiculous, and I only weigh 120 pounds. Do they convert 48 into a percentage? If so, what would my body fat percentage be? They wouldn't tell me! haha.

My boyfriend John and I started dating 1 yr ago when he was 4 mths sober. In Aug. he stop going to meetings and in Jan. he suffered from server panic attacks and he had relapse with alcohol. Since Jan. John has been seeing a psych., psychiatrist, and going to AA. John's new sponsor is advising him to focus on his studies and in return we have been spending less time together and on the phone. He now asks his sponsor for advice before coming to me and sometimes not coming to me at all. I feel so left out of his life because he choices to speak to his sponsor instead of speaking to me.
His mom was just diagnosed with thyroid cancer today. He told his sponsor before telling me. His sponsor suggested for him to focus on his studies because he can't do anything about the cancer tonight. So my phone call with my boyfriend was 5 mins. with him telling me that he already spoke about how he felt. Am I wrong to want him to speak to me? Is this a phase? Will he ever ask me for advice?

In about a week, my husband and I are going to be completley certified to be a Family Home Care provider for a developmentally disabled adult. I am very excited to meet our new family member, but am also nervous about the adjustment. I am positive that it is the right decision, and I work in the field of disabilities, so I am aware of what to expect. Does anyone have this kind of home set up, and are there any suggestions? positive stories? bad moves?

I think that I'd rather see a female doctor, but my mother thinks "that's just weird" and insists on seeing a male ob/gyn(I think she's afraid that having a female doctor poke around down there might give her "the gay"). What do you think-male or female ob/gyn?

I am 17 years old and I have been having severe headaches and feeling really weak for the past month or so. I keep forgetting words when I am speaking and it is aggravating. I went to the hospital when it all started (was only headaches at first) and they said I had a sinus infection (without running any blood, urine or x-ray tests.) even after taking all the prescribed medicine it continues. I had a c-section in august and other then that no serious surgeries or illnesses. Need help--- and please don’t tell me to ask a doctor...
