In May or April, my boyfriend, who is 19 years old, had a skin biopsy on the back of his headto remove a mole that was not cancerous. I am not sure if he's had pain before then, but SINCE that biopsy has happened he said the throbbing has increased around that spot. Is that normal? Or should we be concerned that it is something else? He said it is only in one area, not around the whole head, and that it feels like it is coming from the inside.

He doesn't have any insurance right now and we would like to know what to do.

Time is too short today, and indeed I don't feel the time is right, but I am close.
How close, indeed is an open question, as it could be hours, days or just a few months away, but I feel as if I'm a dead man walking.
The writing is on the wall, though I typed it in cyberspace in a world that doesn't effing care anymore.
I was good for something once, and now am left bleeding in an uncaring world, but hey, who cares?
Yes I could pick myself up, but I don't see the point.
Where do I go from here and how can I help myself from myself?

"GARDASIL is the only vaccine that may help guard against diseases that are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) Types 6, 11, 16, and 18"

Highlight the words above "may help".

OK, so say you have slept with more than one partner already, and currently you are in a monogamous relationship. Gardasil "protects" you from forms of HPV that you haven't come into contact with.

So if you are in a monogamous relationship and definitely know that no one is cheating in the relationship then what is the point in the vaccine? Chances are if you have come into contact with HPV from your current partner or previous partners then you already have it, hence the vaccine won't protect you.

Seriously it doesn't make sense to me. Sure it may protect if you have any partners from now on but if you are with "the one" (say for the rest of your life, or a very long time) then can't see how it matters.

Your opinion?

Last night my wife woke up around 2 a.m. She had a really bad headache right above her right eye. When she pushed on that spot, she said it hurt. She kept trying to go back to sleep, but couldn't.

So I got her some Tylenol from the bathroom. When I came back in the room, she tried to get up and walk to me to take the meds, but she got really dizzy and almost fell.

After she took the meds, she said she felt nauceous and laid down on the floor. She fell asleep there after 20 - 30 minutes. I put her back in bed.

What in the world happened?

ppl say that muscle weighs more than fat....however what they mean is that muscle is denser than fat,just like comparing a large amount of cotton and a small peice of lead....
so if you lose 1 pound of fat do you also gain 1pound of muscle?
and if i do so,will i gain weight or still remain the same weight?
and if you injured ur muscles,will you gain weight after they repair themselves?

He trolls the Alt Med section of Yahoo to put down sick people who have faithfully gone from doctor to doctor and are looking for answers from legitamate sources.

He trolls in a secton he is not qualified to be in because he is a math person who is great at giving engineering advice and he has this vendetta against healing. Why does he want to hurt innocent people?

Here are examples of what I'm talking about, just click on any link and read his nasty answers. So, is this a guy who has anything to do with healing or even qualified to be trolling around in the alternative section?

Hi, I've noticed lately that my memory seems to be getting worse.
I go to tell someone something and I get told that I have allready told them, or I'm convinced that I told them something and I haven't!
Yesterday I got asked for a recipy for a cake I'd made, I couldn't even remember making the cake!
The worst bit is I completely forgot all about an appointment I was surposed to go to!

I eat healthily and I exercise.
Sleep hasn't been that great lately though and I do have periods of stress....... I'm not sure, but could that be part of the problem?

How can I help myself?

Don't mistake me for a weed addict, ive done it once in my life and just a taste so i wasn't even high.

I just wondered why it was made illegal however, for it does not have any worse long term effects than alcohol does. Sure it MIGHT create schizophrenia but that is only after huge prolonged use over decades. Alcohol is much more likely to kill and yet it is fine for sale.

Even some countries like holland have i legalized. So what's the deal?

It's not even a real drug, ecstasy for example i am glad is illegal.

I don't understand what is going on I will be going to the gynocologist. I have only had oral sex and I've been tested for STDs which I have had none. I have not been tested for HIV not saying thats its a factor but when you see that warning sign on the back of the monistat that DOES NOT WORK.. it makes u second guess. Anyone have any ideas as to why I have a yeast infection that does not go away and I've had BV 4 times this year and recently I have gotten a UTI. This is depressing the hell out of me. I may also add that my partner of 2 years was tested hiv negative but i've had sex with other ppl since then and when i started getting BV/yeast infection it was the day after the sex encounter and it's never gone away
