I tested positive for tuberculosis when I was 12. I took medicine for one month which doctor prescribed and was cured. I am 32. Can I still get the tuberculosis if I go next to an infected person? Should I get tested again?

I'm in middle school, and the main lunch choices are pizza, salad, sub sandwich, baked potato, Campbell's soups, or Arby's beef sandwich. Obviously, the pizza (served with a side of fries, usually!) is NOT a healthy choice, and I guess I've decided that a baked potato is a good main dish. However, I was wondering how healthy a baked potato actually is. Is it alright for me to get this basically everytime I buy my lunch - about 3 times a week as I said above - or should I just go for bringing my lunch every day?

Note: The sub sandwiches have soggy bread and aren't appetizing what-so-ever, and their salads don't fuel me enough for the rest of the day.

I'm pretty sure I'm depressed.
I've been to my doctor who said I was too young to take drugs for it, and to try counselling, which didnt work at all.
Does anyone know if there is a clinic in London that specialises in depression? Or do I have to just find a new doctor somewhere?
Also, what does it feel like to be on anti-depressants? Do you know that theyre changing your thoughts? And do you seem like the same person to other people?
Sorry if these seem like stupid questions.
Thanks for any help.

For a couple of weeks now, I have been having constant headaches and eye pain on my right side. I've ignored it as something temporary but the pain keeps on coming and even when I take pain medicine (Aspirine, Motrin, Tylenol) it doesn't go away. It helps a lot when I put ice or a very cold towel on my eye and temple. I also see black dots. Could this be because of eye problems?

Thanks in Advance,

I'm on hour 35 right now (yes, I know that's not a lot) and I'm not tired in the least. This is actually the best I've felt in a long time. I think I shall sleep after about 60 hours.

Oh, and why does it feel so good to be without sleep? It's strange... you'd think I'd be really tired, but my friends say it's almost like I'm high.

Does anyone suffer from chronic constipation and if so, what do you do to get relief other than laxatives? I am truly tired of this problem and have suffered with it for most of my adult life.

Everytime I gain weight, why does it instantaneously go to my face? My cheeks become enormous its not even funny. I was taking some pictures this morning and well yeah thats how I noticed, but then what do you do when you get depressed? You eat! I went right for the cookies lol. I ran on the treadmill for 50 minutes, so hopefully I burnt all those calories, and now I'm scared of eating anything else. Please help me, my stats are 5'8 and 133 lbs. =[

I have a friend who says he has to have surgery for a hernia, and he says he's been told he'll have to be off his feet for a month or more, and no sex for two months! Can that be right? I thought most surgeries like that were easy to recover from. He's only 18 and in good health otherwise, shouldn't he have a fast healing process? My doctor once had a double hernia repair and he was doing surgery himself the next day (against professional advice, but still...).

I have sudden pain in my fingers only. It's not in my hand, wrist, or thumb! I have had no injuries. The pain is in my right fingers, sometimes radiating up to my elbow. I can straighten & bend all of my fingers, but aching pain to do so. Should I contact my doctor? Any ideas on what this could be? How long should I wait before I call the doctor? Please help!!

I know these bumps aren't cold sores because they go up to my nose and down to my chin, they aren't on the lips. My tongue is also swollen and very tender. Does anyone have this happen after eating a food you are allergic to? I've been tested for foods years ago and nothing was that bad. So I'm not quite sure how a mild food allergy may affect a person. Any insight would be great. Thanks!
