I had posted an earlier question about numbness after wisdom tooth extraction. I forgot to add the most important detail. It has been 1 month since, and I still have numbness in my lower lip area. It appears I have some nerve damage. The questions are how long should I expect this feeling to last? and Should I contact another dentist or oral surgeon? Is this permanent?

What does one person need to be concerned with when he or she who has herpes begins to have sex with a partner who also has herpes? Can both of you get a double dose of the herpes or what? Any answers will be nice.

I had a total hysterectomy 6 months ago. I have not had sex in the last 12 weeks. I am bleeding enough to have to wear a pad & my abdomen hurts. I can't get any information on the web. I went to my university's women's clinic and they obviously didn't have a clue. I was told "well, we might be able to get you in tomorrow." I made an appointment for tomorrow morning. But, should I go to the emergency room instead? It hurts, I feel weak and bit light headed, and I'm bleeding. I don't have a uterus OR ovaries, so how can I be bleeding? I haven't had any sexual interaction at all, so that can't be it either. Help!

two days ago i was wearing my contacts. a little after i put them in, my left eye started to get a little red. as this often happens when i am tired, i paid no attention to it, but i checked it a bit later and the bottom half of my iris was outlined in red, and there were red lines running to my eyelid. my eye was also itching. when i woke up the next day it was still red, but a little less red. it is still itching and the red is still around my iris. is this an infection? what should i do about my contacts? should i wear them or throw them away?

I have done a lot of research & I believe that a Vegan diet is the way to go. I have been vegan for 2 or three months now, strictly. My only problem is when I go places like friends & relatives, they eat according to the food pyramid or far worse, and as the bible instructs us, I have always ate what they offered without complaining. This happened 4 times total that I can think of.
Many people (my dad, my sister, my brother in law, my mom), have been telling me that I am really hurting myself by being vegan & I need protein. Well, last night, I had a lot of protein (lasagna), as well as a large salad (fiber). As it is said, the fiber, helps detox the junk in the non organic lasagna. WELL, I was SICK and still am now. So, without something like, "you need protein" please tell me if a vegan diet is healthy or not. Tell me why I got sick from the meat and dairy yesterday & what type of supplements I should take. Many people say it causes health problems but do not say what problems. WHAT

Since leaving my pediatrician about 3 years ago, I've just gone to doctors provided on my college campus. I have scheduled an appointment with a new GP for next week. I've had quite a few health problems in the past and have been to a few specialists (ear/nose/throat, uralogist, cardiologist etc.) for quite a good period of time. Would it be best to bring those old records or just make a list of every 'problem' I've had in the past?

Thanks :)

i hardly eat anything in the day

i eat around 8 crackers every 2 hours and alot of water, the biggest thing i would eat would be a salad, and sometimes a toast with peanut butter in the morning.

I also rollerblade 10-15 minutes every night.
How long do you think this would take to make me look skinner?

thanks

Did you know that there is a new type of breast cancer that is called Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC)?? This is a type of breast cancer that's found without a lump, but the most classic symptoms are: rapid increase in breast size, reddness, skin hot to the touch, persistant itching, and thickening of breast tissue. If you have any of these symptoms PLEASE visit your doctor immediately! Most physicians have never had a patient with this type of cancer, but I was just e-mailed a video clip about 5 women who had it and were told that it was probably a mosquito bite. One girl was 16 and had it and she died. She was too embarrassed to tell her mom that her breast looked "funny". If any of you would like to see that clip, please let me know and I will e-mail it to you. Women everywhere need to be alerted to this info.

Anyone know anything else about this cancer?

most of my friends have had theirs, and they're surprised when I tell them I haven't. Is the height thing a misconception, like people assume taller girls have had their period because they look older? also, i've heard that moms and daughters start their periods around the same time. my mom had hers when she was 12 and I've still had nothing, not even a little spotting. my doc said i'd have it months ago. (I know she's not god or anything but still!) so what gives?

I've been on the shot for about 6 months now. My last injection was May 18, 2007 and I was supposed to go back for my 3rd injection on August 10, 2007 but never went since my husband and I are trying to conceive :) I've bled the whole 6 months I was on the shot, whether it was bleeding or spotting, with the exception of maybe a week or two (after the first shot) without any bleeding at all. A couple days ago, the bleeding stopped completely and yesterday I noticed I started bleeding again. Could that be my regular period or just the shot wearing off? Also, for those of you who was on the shot for UNDER a year, how long did it take your to get pregnant, if you did? I heard/read horror stories about women not being able to conceive or miscarriages but most of them were on the shot for 5+ years. Could that happen to me too? Thanks!
