My son and I both have viral pinkeye, does anyone know how long it's contagious for?
We both woke up with it on Saturday and called the doctor, he called in an antibiotic, which will obviously not work for viral pinkeye, but we weren't sure what kind it was. Now I have to wait until tommorow to get in touch with the doctor and I need to know if I can go to work (I work in a preschool) and if he can go to school. We both have to be there before the doctor is in.

If anyone could let me know, I would aprectiate it!
Thanks!

I feel like I am losing my mind! I don't know how to put this, I am 30 years old and have suffered from depression, been put on an antidepressant... so you think things would be good right? There not! I think there are other things wrong! I mean I can't concentrate or even think straight, When I miss taking my medicine I feel very weird and become hostile... I never use to be this way! I have asked for someone to take me to a hospital for help, and they refuse to take me. I cry alot, I am just not liking this "new me" I am beginning to hate myself. Am I having a life crisis?? please help me!

If a girl wants to go on birthcontrol can she go to a health clinic or Planned Parenthood to see a doctor and get birth control if she is under the age of 18? My friend is seriously going crazy over the manner and am not positive on what to say or think. Her parents will definitely not allow her to have sex before marriage, but she insists.

Her and I are talking over msn and please help quick.

It was about just what I've been saying....too many kids are being diagnosed with bipolar..when they're not...And..too many are being given too much medicine. The little girl on there died from being prescribed too much clonodine. JUST BE CAREFUL!!! Just because a dr. says something ...doesn't mean it's true. You have to use your common sense too and RESEARCH, RESEARCH , RESEARCH !!! What do you think about this "bipolar fad"??

4 or 5 days ago I went for my first 7 mile walk and about 2 days after that I went to sleep and woke up and had severe pain in the back my right side, like above the lovehandle(i dunno what its called) when I got up, took my pain medication and it went away. then the same thing happened the day after and it went away with medicine. Now it feels less painful but it's in the front and back now. What is wrong?

my step daugher has had head lice for the 2nd time this month. we've spent hours treating her and the house both times. now she has little red bite looking things on her arms and ears and neck.

now my question . i've never had body lice or seen it. Are you able to see it? can you see the bugs crawling around? do they stay in your body or in your clothes? how do you get rid of them? can she give them to us as easy as head lice ? and finally i have a newborn 2 month year old...should i be REALLY concerned about her getting it? will it hurt her? THANKS
ANY INFORMATION ABOUT BODY LICE WILL HELP THANKS!!!

I am looking to talk to a lot of people who have gone through the treatment. Please give me advise and maybe a place to go to talk to people. I have looked into support groups in the area and they are all at times i cant make it. How do I tell people that are close to me? friends? family? I am afriad of the way they will act. Is this a normal fear? also who has had to take antidepressents with the treatment? can i make it with out? i am not a depressed person but my husband worries that if the treament doesnt work i might become depressed. shoud i still take antidepressents before i start treatment? I took them for a couple of days and i was really sick on them. i am more scared of the antidepressents than the treatment. is that a normal feeling? i could use a lot of people to talk to. wil people look at me differently if i tell them i have hcv? only respond if you have a serious answer please.

I went to my OB/GYN on Thursday because I've been having a feeling of pressure on right side of my lower abdomen. An ultrasound revealed a solid mass inside my right ovary. It's about1/3 the size of the ovary. The doctor took blood to screen for ovarian cancer, but said he didn't think that's what it was. He said he wasn't sure what it was, but wanted to keep an eye on it for 2 months.

Has anyone else had something similar happen to them? I've had fluid filled cysts before outside the ovary, but never anything IN it.

Well, I'm trying to loose some weight. I've been eating healthier for about the last 1-2 months, and I've been doing pushups periodically for the last year, and my chest had grown quite some bit, and I haven't really lost any weight. I've stayed at the same weight

I do around 3-4 sets of 30-60 pushups every day/every other day. Is this actually helping me loose weight, and I just don't notice it? Am I loosing body fat and gaining muscle, am I doing enough pushups or am I just not doing anything? If pushups aren't a good way to reduce body fat, whats a good way to loose weight in the comfort of your own home?
