My cat was bit by a snake and the cat scratched my daughter. I live in Southern NJ and we have copperheads and black snakes. I took my daughter to the er and they said i have nothing to worry about but I am still concerned. Is there any reason to be worried? What should I look out for?

Does anyone else get head zaps, they're like an electric shock that goes through your head.
I get mine at the point I am falling asleep at night.
Sometimes my head can jump off the pillow & sometimes they are accompaneyd by a loud crashing sound inside my head.
My Doctor does not seem concerned, all this started about a year ago & seems to be worse when I'm stressed.

I got braces 2 days ago and have been warned by friends to only eat soft foods for about a week. It seems that whatever I eat makes my teeth hurt, and I'm worried I'll break the braces :(
What can I eat after? (I've had the leaflet on foods you CANNOT eat, I'm wondering if there is actually any food I can eat without damaging them in some way)

I am visiting a dermatologist for the first time next week, I want to ask him/her if I could go on accutane... do they only prescribe it if they think your acne is bad enough for it? I've tried several cremes and they havn't worked, ive had ongoing acne since I was 11 and I'm 19 now... am I going to have to convince the dermatologist that I want to go on it? I know all the side effects and what I would be getting myself into... I just hope he/she will prescribe me it when I go.

It is somewhat inflamed, and feels hard and tender to the touch. It is a little red and shiny, but won't burst like a regular zit-type blemish. Is there anything I can do to make it go away, maybe in the next few hours? Any paste or household remedies...please it hurts and is rather unsightly.

I am living in the United States and am wondering if it would be worth it for me to take a trip there in about 2 weeks (august 4th) I have heard conflicting ideas from different sources. I know as of now there are no preventitive measures or cures available. Is it still contagious? How high are my risks of catching various diseases if I do go? What are the effects of the disease? short term, and long term. Any information you can provide is helpful. Thanks!

I was in vegas the past week and on the last day i got my period and for some reason it's soooooo heavy!! It has never been like this. When i slept last night i put on a new pad and when i woke up this morning I had leaked all the wasy through my new jammy's and onto the bed. I feel horrible. I woke up this morning and drank 1000 mg of ibuprofen. Is that too much? Ughhhh this is going to be a sucky day!! Wish me luck.

It seems that all men masturbate. I'm just 15, and I don't know why.

Is it something a guy just has to do? Like we can't live without it? Does it make us healthy or something? I don't get it.

Is it fun? It is like recreation? Does it hurt? How long do you do it? How often is it done?

Do you have any tips for me? I guess if all guys do it, I might as well learn too.

I know it's a stupid question, but anything you have to tell about masturbation, just tell me please. Thanks.
