Health - 15 October 2007

My husband is a very tough man and this is a very sensitive issue for him. He hasn't have a solid stool for about a month. I do not know what caused it, we eat the same food.
He tries to hide it from everyone, but he suffers a lot. It gets to the point that he has to go to the bathroom about 8 times a day. He needs to seek professional help. When I try to talk to him, he does not want to hear about it. How to approach it? What are the home remedies for this problem if any?

I have simplex herpes. I only get cold sore breakouts every few months. I heard that if you have herpes you need to have a c-section because in a vaginal birth, you can pass the herpes to the child? Is this only when you have genital herpes? Also, can you pass simplex herpes to your partner sexually even if you only have cold sores?

but more so just a lot of anger and being very short with people. Then I feel guilty and am more depressed and short with people. I have used B12 which works to a degree but I don't want to take more than 2 of them a day. I still get "cranky" and need something before my husband "kills me". LOL

I have a bad ankle, I've hurt it a few times, but have never bothored to have it looked at.
Anyway...Today I was walking down stairs, and my ankle rolled. I stepped down on it and put all of my weight on it.I heard a pop.

Like I said I have had this sort of thing happen a few times, but never has it popped like that.
Right now it is a little swollen around my ankle. A little bruised...but not bad. It hurts to put too much weight on it. I can limp around though. It hurts from my ankle up to about mid calf.

What did I do exactly, and should I see a Dr.?

My 10 year old son had a stomach infection, and was treated with antibiotics. Now that he's better, my young 4 years old daughter is having stomach pain just like his. It gets better, and then few minutes later she's having pain again. I was just wondering, does she need antibiotics to get better? Or can she get better without antibiotics, and take time to rest?

i do?
im really bad with my illness right now, isolation, high panic anxiety, bad depressions each day...im 30, made no real friends in life due to my disorder and the trauma, bullying ive endured.
im trying to get the right help right now for my problems, which are dibilitating.....ive isolated myself in my apartment....the few friends ive made via the net have really helped me cope believe it or not....both 2 are in the u.s......now i dont hear from them for weeks, and i feel rejected, abandoned, like theyve been told to stop contact or not get involved with me anymore..

i have bad paranoia to that certain people want to ruin my life and prevent me doing things and prevent me doing what i want to do, making friends etc..
so im thinking, those persecutors have told these few friends, who i felt built up a rapor with, to stay away from me..

i sit in my apartment everynight, dreaming, fantasizing about the goals i have of emigration from the uk, to build a new life elsewhere

I got the injection about a week ago and my neck feels pretty good but I have had a pain in my left shoulder blade since the injection. Is this normal or has anyone else had this issue? The injection was in my lower neck not my shoulder.

My 16 year old daughter plays High School Basketball.
She is 6ft 3, 250pds & plays center post. She is very good in it, and has been in the newspaper many times. She scores an average of 20 plus a game, and her highest was 33 points.
The problem is my daughter is not the most fastest player on the team in her running ability, and she took after me in having fallen arches on her feet, and like me her ankles get sore after too much activity. There have been colleges that are interested in my daughter. Her Coaches often tell my daughter to shed at least 20 pounds to make her run better.
I took her to a foot specialist, and she was doing physical therapy to help build muscle in her ankle, but her coach is very
hard on her saying she needs to run faster.
I need some advice from people active in sports, and or sports medicine of what can I do for her, and the proper exercise training, nutrition or something to boost her energy that don't deal with steroids. Please give me some advice

My anatomy teacher told us, that with the workings of the Endocrine system, if you relax and don't worry about you can control weather you get pregnant or not, and that women can control their menstrual cycle for up to 3 months.

Is this true?
because I have a feeling he is full of crap.
