I'm getting a blood test just to make sure my soar throat and swolen glands is just a sinus infection. I got a finger prick yesterday and it kinda hurt. They said it was to early to decide if I had mono even though the results were negative. Is the one I'm getting today hurt more. If it does hurt what can I do to make it hurt less. Im really nervous.

I Heard that eggs were actually really good for you, but then i looked at the nutritional facts and they have alot of fat.

Me and partner had anal sex since im menstruating, we did not use a condom (i know bad choice) even though im not on the pill at the moment, but anyways he finished inside me, and then i quickly turned over on my backside so that it wouldnt leak into my vagina and then i went to the restroom and wiped thoroughly, do you still think there could be chance of pregnancy if i dont know if sperm came into contact with my vagina or not?

My colds are usually really bad: sore throat, barely able to speak, really scratchy voice for like a week afterwards with a runny nose and coughing after the worst part has gone away(the sore throat).
They usually only last 2 days or so, but this cold that I have right now, has been here for 4 days now. I really need to get rid of this! What can I do to help get rid of it? Yes, I know, halls... but halls literaly make me ill and I don't know why. There is only one kind I can stand and after it's gone, everything just comes back.
Also, if you know a good way of getting rid of a scratchy voice afterwards, that would help too!

Thanks!

I have been doing bench presses for my chest excercises and now I'm interested in starting to use dumbbells for presses. I don't know what the dumbbell equivalent to a bench press is. On the bench press, I usually do 12 reps at 95 lbs., 10 reps at 115 lbs. then 8 reps at 135 lbs. What weight dumbells should I use to get an equal workout? Thanks.

head. We took him in to see his pediatrian who stated he had Tinea (ringworm) and gave us a presciption for 2 creams Hydrocotrizone and mystatin. We use it for 2 weeks and it cleared. a couple of days after we found little spots all over his head so we took him back and they gave him Fugero which is a prescribed ointment and what we have noticed now its dry up and on the spot it comes back again. now i have taken him 6 times in a month to see his pediatrician and tried explaining that he does not look like a round circle which is the appearance of ringworm and he keeps prescribing a different ointment every time. Last week, i noticed they now look like sores with pus inside now. I have not bursted any due to his scalp is so tender and they dry up to look like a wound. can anyone advise due to i feel very much for my son. Itches it a couple of times a day. Am tired of shaving his head but this is the only way one can see this sores. do i tell the doctor to recommend a specialist.

My period has been already late for 8 days...it was suppose to arrive at Nov 10 but still no luck...Could it be stress or something else??(I've never had sex by the way so I doubt I'm pregnant)
Although I think I may have "yeasts" because of how whenever it reaches days near Nov 10 I keep finding "slimmy white stuff" from down-under...(Personally I think I'm just under stress lately and is experiencing paranoia but I can't help to be safe)...what do you think? Is it normal to experience all of this? Is it stress? Do I have yeasts?

The chemotherapy did not work as I suspected. I never heard of anyone surviving chemotherapy induced leukemia. My mom's blast is 70% at the time now. She is now taking chemotherapy pills. I dont know why they giving her those after telling her that they cant cure her. And if those did not work she has only up to january or february to live. Best gift idea for her maybe last christmas.
