Health - 10 June 2007

I've just found out that my best friend has died, apparently of cirrhosis of the liver. He was only 39. I hadn't talked to him for a few months, as we live halfway across the world from each other, but the last time I talked to him he sounded alright and did not mention anything to me about being ill. I know that he had been drinking quite excessively, but I had NO idea he was drinking as much as apparently he had. From what his sister has said, he called 911 on a Monday, vomiting blood and having breathing trouble, by Monday night he was considered brain dead and by Tuesday he had died. Could he have known how ill he was? He hated doctors, so I don't know if he'd seen one prior or not. How could he have died so suddenly? Surely, if he were so ill he were about to die, he would have been ill enough to have been hospitalised before it got so bad he called 911...? I'm left with too many unanswered questions, but I was just wondering if any of you out there know anything, thanks.

during sex my boyfriend always ejaculates after about a minute sometimes even less. we tried using condoms but he still came just about immediately. i dont have a big problem with it as i love him so much! but i just want sex to be more fun for him and me aswell. he said he doesnt have a problem or anything and once said that i shouldnt worry about it and that if he comes that quickly i should take it as compliment because i turn him on so much! but i know he has enjoyed it much more the few times he took longer to come. what can i do about this? have any of you guys on here has this problem? what have you done about it? thanks heaps

Do they not put enough flouride into the Water over there? Is there a shortage of dentists, and orthodonists? Is it poor diet? Can anyone explain this phenomenon?

I have been in great pain this month. It is either my tailbone or something that is hurt. It hurts to even lay down or sit for so long, this pain just came out of nowhere, and I do not want to get the doctor to check it because I hate the feeling of that he had to touch and look. I am not prenant, it hurts when I like "squeeze my bum cheeks"together. can anyone help me out?

this "growth" is neither sensitive nor painful, just becoming annoying. It started growing from one of the "bumps" on the areola (the area around the nipple).

I lost 70 pounds as a teen, and although my boobs aren't that saggy, I lost some volume there (from a full 38C to a small 34C), and I'm planning to 're-fill' the lost volume with implants soon (I'm now 22) up to a fuller 34C or a D...and the doc said in my case they will look really natural since I have enough skin tissue to hold them...there have been others who have done this and they don't look like they've had implants (my mom did it too 30 years ago, and until now my dad never found out!)...but I'm afraid that once i have sex with my fiance after we're married he'd be able to 'feel' them when he's fondling me?

Hello. I have a lot of pain in both my hips. It's particularly noticeable when I stand up after sitting for a while or getting out of bed. After a few minutes walking it eases up but doesn;t disappear.

I'm an otherwise healthy, athletic 27-year-old man who plays sport. This started about 3 weeks ago and shows no sign of letting up.

When I drive for distances greater than an hour, I tend to get a nasty pain in my right buttock. This has happened now with my past 3 cars, and have no idea how to alleviate it. If I move the seats or shift around in the seat, it's virtually no help. So does anyone have a suggestion on how to alleviate it? Is there some sort of pillow I should buy? Something I should do differently when I sit? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

I have been playing lots of computer games lately and often strain my right armpit.

And I found this small lump near it today. Is it something serious?

... if you go to the bathroom and wipe than it's brown... ? OK now I haven't been on my period yet but when I wipe it's brown... it's been the 5 days now and the brownness is going away a bit when I wipe... does this mean that i'll have a period in a few days or it'll start to come out normal? or what?

thanks! :)

I had unprotected sex a few times this weekend after a few drinks (I have a partner been together 4 years for all those who are ready to sl*g me off i've not been putting it about).
I was just wondering is there a good chance I would be pregnant or does it take a while for the pill's hormones to clear out of your body? (I've been taking it for 3 years)
