Today I stayed home from school. My nose is runny and my throat hurts. My throat started hurting like a week ago and I kept gargling mouth wash and then it would go away. But 2 days ago it came back over night and had progressed to far to be cured by mouthwash. Usually when I have a cold I get a sore throat 1-2 days before the cold and then it goes away when the cold symptoms come. This time the cold symptoms are mild (3rd day) but my throat still hurts. It doesn't hurt much today but yesterday it hurt rlly bad. And i have a lot of mucus build up/post nasal drainage going on in my throat. I've had strep once before but that was a long time ago

My partner had a kidney stone in Germany 12 years ago, they treated it successfully and no further problems. This morning at 4am he woke up in excrutiating pain, I made him a hot water bottle, no temperature or anything like that - then he was very sick with lots of bile - we think this may have dislodged it because it is not painful anymore - will it return do you think? He is taking a urine sample to the Docs later today. What is the treatment?

My grandma was diagnosed with lung cancer two years ago. I am going to college near her and spend weekends with her. She is my second mother. I have seen her before she had this and now have slowly watched her decline in health. She became in remission last year and started to feel like her old self again. Now this semester her cancer has come back and she is not seeing an end to chemo in sight. I am with her every weekend and see how bad she is doing. I care for her and cook for her and it's very hard for me to do emotionally. I end up crying when I come back to campus and have lost a lot of motivation for going to classes. Is this a valid excuse for "personal issues" for missing classes and asking my professor to allow me to make up a few assignments? I am now failing this class.

If someone is Bipolar (untreated and unmedicated)
If they are just in normal state of Bipolar or a "Manic" state of Bipolar and they were hanging around the wrong kind of people can that make them act 'nastier' to someone they supposedly cared about or loved?

Even though they 'think' the friends/people they are around are healthy and good for them (even though reality they are horrible)....can a person with Bipolar cloud their judgement on that?

Also, is it a symptom of Bipolar....to hear things or see things over a course of a couple years....that they didn't agree with or was against their morals/values and act just the opposite when they go off the deep end or they roleplay it out?? Or could/is that some kind of other disorder?

I know people like Danny Bonaduce who only eat one meal a day. Let me tell you, he is in shape. He's said on the Adam Carolla Show that he generally just drinks water until dinner. Obviously it's better to eat several small meals and snacks throughout the day and I know about the body going into starvation mode when you don't eat enough, but can you eat one well-balanced meal a day and lose weight?

I prefer them to tissues as they're softer but I know some people don't like them. Is it odd for a youngish (33) guy to use one? Does anyone else prefer them?

Ok, If I am old, and in pain and I have lived a fulfilling life and I no longer want to live, what is the whole issue in helping this person get their wish. Why should you be forced to stay in a world you no longer want to live in? Spare the whole b.s. about suicide is a sin, if you are not religious and do not believe this, why not let the person have it?

you see people with big, wide grins....living their lives, getting their needs met, indulging in fullfilling relationships...careers....nice homes...loving partners a good jobs.....a healthy sex life etc.

and on the flip side theres me who:

has borderline personality disorder, is 30 years old....has endured a life time of trauma....suffered bullying, victimization.....has never been employed....never gained qualifications....never had a steady relationship....are stigmatized and labelled because of my disorder.....like certain people wont touch me....live alone in a one bedroomed flat....at huge disadvantages in life....have noone to turn to except my mum...have no direction....a mental record and a petty criminal one..
so because of that ill be outcasted, and my hopes and dreams of a better life, with a good job & my own home, living by the coast will remain fantasies forever.....because in my situation, itll be impossible to achieve

It seems reasonable that one can get too much sleep, but it's also reasonable that excessive sleep may be influenced by anemia, depression, or other conditions. Does the saying have its roots in science, or is it primarily a way to try to get someone out of bed by making the person sound lazy?

I need to go and see a doctor very shortly and dont like my current doctor - she is always rude and extremely abrupt. Last time I had to have a pap test she grabbed my stomach and shook my tummy and said 'you REALLY need to lose some weight' YES thanks for that - I especially enjoy comments like that while I am nude and already feeling humilated - didnt really think it was necessary to rub my face in the dirt at the same time. So yes obviously I need a new doctor and as most of my friends dont live in my area I need a recommendation - if anyone has a nice doctor (preferably female) that is relaxed and doesnt shove you out the door in a few minutes I would really appreciate the details thanks!

I'm trying to understand the extent of the differences between the races in regard to the frequency of sexually transmitted disease. At this moment, I am not concerned with the social significance of those differences. I am asking only about their existence and, if they exist, about their magnitude.

It might be helpful to know the per capita rate ratios (Black to White) for infections with HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea and herpes. Does anyone with ready access to such data have these ratios at their fingertips? I'd like to familiarize myself with that information.

Also, it would be interesting to discover whether the per capita infection rate ratios observed in the United States are typical of similar ratios worldwide.
