I find it hard to believe that all of a sudden these 'superbugs' MRSA and all the others are real.

I think it is all a invention.

In the 1950s & 1960s, Doctors used to do ward rounds with cigarettes hanging out there mouths. How come we did not hear about superbugs then?

It is all a load of codswallop if you ask me.

When she speaks about her past sex-life, it's vulgar and over-the-top. The details are just FAR too much. Her first boyfriend forced her to engage in oral, and once tried to throw something at her. A member of her extended family once slapper her when she was a young child, he was an alcoholic. She described her first time to me and said the guy was "amazing" and he was "like a porn star." Once I couldn't get it up and she suggested seeing a doctor or getting counseling. What's up with all the sex being so extreme? Are there underlying issues here? This all just seems very strange...

I know that one answer is that people who don't have chronic pain can never fully understand, but I'd still like to know if there is some way to explain it to others, some way to make people understand why those of us in chronic pain can't be expected to function "normally." Anybody have any suggestions, or is there a web site with tips on how to explain to significant others, loved ones, family members, chronic pain and its effects, and how to deal with people in chronic pain ?

I have been throwing up a lot for the last 7 months periodically. I would feel great and healthy and will eat everything and then when I least expect the moment I am at my best emotionally I would throw up. Or the moment I am at my wost emotionally it would happen. Then I completely lose apetite and can't hold any food at all without throwing it up. And then I would gradually start eating soups, mustard and MC Donald's (the only foods I can take) and I would get better and start eating normally....untill the next time of period (about a month) and things would repeat. I've only had sex once. I'm 21. This problem started immediately after my first sexual contact.I'm obviously not pregnant. i'vebeen tested. My blood is all good the doctors said. WHAT COULD be going ON?

Last week I noticed I was getting some bumps in my groin area, and went to the doc right away. He said I had Molluscum Contagiosum and put liquid nitrogen on them to treat them. My girlfriend and I had sex the day before I went to the doctor... and she has no symptoms yet. I read that men are more affected than women? My girlfriend and I are not going to touch eachother for quite a while until this goes away... is it possible she won't get them??? (i hope so for her sake)
