Yesterday, my partner and I had sex. I then took a shower. For the last two days, my pee has been burning. This morning I woke up to pee, and my vagina started itching. This has never happened to be. I've had UTI, and yeast infections, but never both symptoms at once. I did a search, and saw that these could be symptoms of Chlamydia and gonorrhea. I'm scared to death it may be that. He said he's clean, but then again, hes used a condom with all of his other sexual partners. If I'd have gotten it from someone else, I believe I would have had symptoms much earlier than this. Could I have an STI like this, or do you think I'm just overreacting and it's just a UTI or yeast infection? I'm going to the doctors today, but if I can get answers before 9AM, it might ease my mind.

I have a friend who is bulimic and who restricts a lot. She is not emaciated or even very thin – she is average weight – but she is ALWAYS cold, even in hot weather.

What causes this, if she has enough body fat to keep her warm?

I stopped drinking a bottle of wine a night (5 nights a week) and also started drinking water. I always ate normally and very healthy but just drank a lot, too. Work out in the gym 4 days a week (weights and cardio). Stopped drinking 5 days ago.

So why am I GAINING weight now? I'm not eating any more than before. I thought not drinking alcohol causes weight loss! Water causes bloating, but that should have been done by now, too!!

Trying to be more healthy by making these changes, but now i'm just getting fat! Help!

Because of a lower back injury I'm not going to be able to workout for 2 weeks and actually be layed up in bed as much as possible.
So what can I do to:
A. Keep the fat off?
B. Keep from losing the muscle?

And as a side question, should I continue to take my whey protein shakes?

On the 4th of July I was lighting and throwing firecrackers when one of the exploded too early as I was throwing it and blew up about 1ft from my left ear. ( I know it was a stupid thing to do). It was very painful, and now a month and 1/2 later I still have ringing in my ear from it. Will the ringing ever stop.

The reason I ask is because I am planning on walking with my co-workers in honor of one of their mothers, but I am overweight and wonder if there are other "larger" people walking. Now, I have two jobs (40-45 hours a week) where I stand on my feet, walk around a lot and carry heavy things, so I am pretty confidant that I can do the walk, I just worry about standing out and being the last person in, slowing down my co-workers and stuff. It's only 3.1 miles right?

He has always been overweight, but after 8 years of marrige and his recent 30th birthdday, he is at least 50 pounds heavier than when we married, maybe more. I htink he weighs at least 310 pounds and is 5'11'' he gets tired all the time now, when he comes home from work he just crashes. the only things he does anymore with enthusiasm is cook and play video games. He seems like he is just fading away.
Now I can't explain this: on his elbow he keeps developing these little bumps of skin, size of a pencil eraser or slightly larger, they are raised and open sores that bleed, he picks at them as though they itch, they have left scars that look like chicken pox in the past, but I know the one he has now has been there at least a month. Not only are they kinda gross, but I am afraid it is a sign of diabetes. His mom is non insulin dependant diabetic, as well as his oldest bro: 45 and now his dad recently diagnosed. He does not care for his body and I do not want to lose him! he neverseesdocs

My daughter has various food allergies and is under the care of an allergist, but this past weekend she reacted (hives) to what we think was ranch dressing. She's not allergic to eggs or dairy. Anyone else have a reaction to something this specific?

I've seen that a lot of foods and even whole restaurant chains are switching to no longer have trans fats, but many of those foods now seem to have more sugar in them--both are bad for you, but are trans fats significantly worse, and if so, why?

I work as a waitress a couple days a week to make some extra cash, and usually when I work I'm on my feet for about 10 hours at a time. When I come home, my calves are swollen to at least 2x their normal size. I can also actually feel how they are swollen and they ache and throb. Also, I notice that just on a daily basis when I wake up in the morning my calves are normal, but by the evening they are larger. Does anyone have any ideas as to what may be causing this and how I can make it better? I'm an extremely busy person and scheduling a drs appt is a major pain for me, so going in for a consult is really a last resort! Thanks so much!

I've been told "There will be more "friction". (with a circumcised) The entire length of the circumcised penis will move across your genitals whereas the uncircumcised penis will "glide" in an out under the foreskin." Is this true and which feels better?
