Health - 13 August 2007

A mom cat brought kittens to our porch at 14 weeks of age. They appear to be part snowshoe cats, which has been said to be a hypo-allergenic cat. My husband is allergic to cats, but we have been doing a good job cleaning the cats and the house. Our two little girls 4 and 8,who have very long hair, love to hold them. It's easy to wash up the girls before their dad gets home from work, but not so easy when we are together all day on the weekends. Sometimes when he gets close to our girls, he sneezes or gets dander or a hair in his eye and has an allergic reaction. If he gets an allergic reaction in his eye it creates a chain reaction and he gets a runny nose. And then proceeds to use his inhaler. He has asthma. Any suggestions? We are all really attached to these kittens that we want to adopt.

I've been drinking a lot of water recently.
I pretty much always have a bottle with me all day.
Can that have a negative effect at all?
&What are the benefits?

Ok so about 2 months ago I was 5'5 and 110lbs my friend told me that I was too skinny and need to gain weight, so I gained about 5 lbs. Now I'm around 115lbs and another friend of mine told me I look fat and should lose a few pounds. I'm wondering if it is bad for me to keep losing and gaining weight? Oh and please don't tell me not to listen to what my friends say because they are always honest with me and I trust their opinion.

I need to understand what form your moods take. I have been diagnosesd as fast cycling and I'm all over the shop.

I originally would have two weeks of happy, two weeks of depressed/suicical and two weeks of sort a cross over. I'm also doing things which are getting me in to trouble and I don't always recocgnise that what I'm doing is wrong. I know I'm getting worst and I am very worried about this thing totally messing me and my life up, well even more than it alreday has. To make it worst I have no support at all.

I'm not trying to be flagged or anything, but: OK, I know it's hard enough for a guy to enjoy sex with a woman if she isn't properly lubricated. Why in the world would somebody force themselves on a woman for sex, wouldn't that hurt the guy just as much as it hurts the lady? Just curious? I just don't see why dudes would do such a thing.

Two days ago some of them became swollen, itchy and painful. One on the back of my leg seems to be spreading out and is hot and inflamed. I got cortisone cream and antihistamine tablets from the pharmacist today, and am hoping that these will do the trick. Has anyone any other advice or wonder remedies....please? I'm pretty desperate.
Thanks.

I am 30 years old and single. I have never really been involved in a serious relationship and am not comfortable dating and meeting men. I have always battled with being overweight and recently have lost about 40 lbs. I thought that if I lost the weight that I would feel more self confident and would be able to handle attention from men. I still don't feel comfortable. I'm constantly letting other friends take the spot light and I hide behind them. In the meantime, all of my friends are getting married, moving away and I'm feeling alone and in a rut. Would a therapist be a good step for me?

ok, my mother has 5 children and 4 step children. Currently she has 5 of them currently living full time with her (2 step and 4 of hers). I can almost guarantee you that she bi-polar b/c she goes into the expisodes that i recognize from my bipolar friend. yes there is a chance she has a deppression problem as I do, but she's a little bit more extreme then I am. Anyways i am married and no longer live at home but when she has the episodes I usually get called either by her or my siblings in tears and i have to pull the family together. I grew up with this and it caused me to resent my mother for many years. I'm there for her, b/c she's always been there for me during my deppression times, but it's really starting to ware on me. my younger siblings (all under 13) get really emotional about this and start blaming themselves no matter how many times I tell them it's not them. Is there ANYTHING I can do to MAKE her get help? she doesn't beleie in drugs to help her problems but

About a week ago i was playing soccer and landed on my shoulder. It only hurt when i would put pressure on it, like if i sleep and lay on my shoulder i would feel some pain in the back side of my shoulder. And also when i was lifting weights, on my lat pulls and bench press. So my question is does this sound like something that has happened to you and should i go to the doctor or would it heal with time by putting ice or stretching?
