Health - 9 October 2007

I got bifocal contacts and have been wearing them for about 10 days now. After I have them in for a while, my right eye keeps getting a "film" over it and I have to keep blinking to make it go away so I can focus. My left eye does it here and there also, but nearly as much as my right eye. I know there is an "adjustment period" for new contact wearers, so I was just wondering if this was part of the breaking in, or if it doesn't sound right. Thanks in advance for your help/opinions!

when my boyfriend and I are making love he often is quite excited but finds it difficult to ejaculate. I've asked him if I'm doing something wrong or if there is something else I can do and he says that's just how he is. Is this normal?

Hi,

Four days after my DPT (diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus) vaccination, I have a very painful swollen lymph node sitting just above my R) clavicle.

I'm pretty sure it's from the vaccine, because I haven't been sick.

It's about an inch in length and quite noticeable (maybe I'm just being paranoid).

The swollen lymph is not red or itchy..its just VERY sore & tender. Its really annoying..erghh..it's making me really irritable (then again could be PMS haha). Its 'move-able' when I press it.

I've done some research on-line & apparently swollen lymph nodes could be one of many side effects from the vaccine. And all of a sudden when typing this, I feel quite feverish. I've just taken some paracetamol.

I'm a nursing student so it was compulsory for me to have this vaccination before I go out out on 'practicums'.

Just want to know whether anyone else has had experience something like this? and what happened etc..

The vaccination was called 'boostrix'.

Hundred of commercials for breast cancer, uterus cancer, polycystic fibrosis, and even more for birth control. Charities for women who have cancer and heart disease..but where is the support for the women who can't have kids ever and are permanently infertile? where is the celebrity championing these women? Where is the United support nationally for these women who often hide in shame and are humiliated or embarrassed by their infertility? Why do they not have a day or a ribbon honoring them for the bravery of dealing with IVF. thanks -

Me and my girl have been together for five years. She just found out she has herpes from an outbreak with all the signs, swollen glands and sores and feeling ill. And then another outbreak about two weeks later. From everything I've been reading those mostly happen after you've just become infected 4 to 6 weeks after you have goten it.
Is this correct ?
Can you first outbreak happen after years of having it?
Can you have signs like this after many years or should I suspect she's been fooling around on me ?
I've read people can have it and not know, if so, do outbreaks get worse all of a sudden.
ANY help would be wonderfull I've been to many of the sites reading my butt off and it's a lot to handel
My doctors appt. is next week, if the tests can come back with false negitives when no signs are presant,, might everybody have it and not just know it..
I've never even had a cold sore or fever blister
Can hsv 1 be gotton from shareing drink, I have an eight year old son ??

I don't know if this makes any sense......

I was reading information on HPV and now I'm extremley nervous thinking "what If" either me or my boyfriend have it. Even though I have no reason to be thinking that. (Even though I know there are NO symptoms). What are some reasons why/how people get HPV (males & females). I can go for a Pap to my doctor but my boyfriend doesn't have insurance! What can he do? I'm 18 and he's 19.

(Balloon Dilation ) in the year 2000, in Ruby Hall Pune. She is quite good with daily medicines. She has high blood pressure too. The pain in the thigh is qute difficult to express as its unbearable. We started with nutrilite vitamins and one of them being bone health with IPRIFLAVONE. The relief is to a larger extent excepting the pain is returning in a fortnight in place of everyday. When I massage her left leg, I feel a cartilage or muscle( not sure) just above the left knee moves. That movement, when massaged, brings relief when pressed hard or hardest she can bare. We had been around delhi and Pune but in vain. She is totally dependent on painkillers ( mobizox, combiflam etc.) but even painkillers are not bringing any relief.
Please advise and help her from this unbearable pain.

I don't know what to do. We aren't having sex, just oral/ digital sex. But he just doesn't like it. I keep myself clean and odor free, nicely shaven, how he says he likes it. But whenever we get sexual uses hardly any clitoral stimulation. I have tried to explain to him, but he says it is hard for him to do "the other stuff" not only that but he rarely if ever performs oral sex on me. However everytime we do get sexual, I always give him oral, and he doesn't properly take care of himself "down there" which can make it very unpleasant, but I still do it, because I know how much he enjoys it.
Anyways this is really getting to me and it is making me really insecure about my "girl parts".

Please don't even bother to respond to this if you are going to be a jerk, because this is a real question, and I know it really is an easy target.

Someone please help me.

I sincerely hope this isn't obscene, it is a real question.

Oh and digital means fingers, incase anyone didn't know.

I am about 4 ft 11 in and I weigh 163 lbs.

I've checked my body mass index on several health websites online & found that I'm about 76 lbs. over-weight.

I want to change that and reach a healthy weight & life style.

I've tried several times in the past, but have had great difficulty with changing, although this time I think I've found a plan.

Here are my main problems:
1. I have a sedentary life style

- I need ideas for physical activities that I can do indoors, mainly due to where I live.

-Also, I have an extremely hectic schedule, so it's difficult to fit in time for exercise.

-The most I could fit is maybe 30 minutes a day on weekdays, and about 1 - 2 hours on weekends if I'm lucky.

2. My meal portions are much too large

- I have no idea how big each portion is supposed to be.

- I don't know how to count/keep track of my calorie intake.

3. Once I reach my healthy weight (87 lbs) what should my daily calorie intake be (sedentary life-style)?
