My boyfriend woke me up in the middle of the night. He swore he was freezing cold. We took his temperature and it came to 100.3 degrees. He's been shivering (even lying next to me and under four blankets). He is also complaining of mild chest pain when he takes a deep breath. And he has a sore throat.
We don't have insurance and he's adment about not going in to the medical center. Do you think this is just a common flu? Or something more serious?

I'm going to try and convince him to go in.....he's worrying me.

Thanks.

Okay about 6 1/2 years ago I was in an accident with my horse. Well I don't remember anything before waking up in the hospital, not my name, family, anything. Well my family is around cuz they were there when the accident happened, so I'm not just wondering around without family. But my doctor said my memory might come back in time, But it hasn't and I feel like I'm living someone elses life. My family is always telling me stories, showing me pics, or video's of this girl I apparently was. But it freaks me out that I don't remember my own life. I'm 17 now. But one good thing is I didn't forget stuff I had learned prior to the accident. Like I know I'm a good swimmer, I speak some french. (which I found out by accident)So I guess I should be thankful for that but...yea idk what to do.

My husband has been smoking for atleast half of his life (he is 31!!!! only). It's so annoying seeing him smoking. His breath, his almost black lips and obviously his health. I tried so may times to talk about this problem, but he say he wants to but he can't. He wouldn't want to go to the Dr, and he not really trying to quit. Is there any "emotional blackmail" or anything what can use to make him quit?

over the past 2 months I have had "heavy feelings" in my chest, shoulders, and arms, and upper back. Doctors did blood tests and ekg and stress test and nothing heart related. They call it muscular skeletal but no further explanation. yesterday shoulders were very heavy and sore, later int hte evening it went away. After that I was int he kitchen and stepped back and almost stepped on my baby! I i was able to step over her and everything was fine. But I got an immediate rush of those sore feelings to my shoulders, chest and arms. After I calmed down it went away - any thoughts? Is this stress? I dont feel stressed!.

If someone sleeps more, or feels dizzy or tired for the whole day, is it anyway related to stress or depression?

stop asking guys, seriously, the mens health section is FULL of questions about "omg will my penis ever grow, its only 15 inches big"

the fact is simple: the average penis size of an adult is 5-6 inches, with a 4-5 inch girth (for those of the you who dont know, thats the distance around it ^^)

if your bigger, lucky you, if your smaller, it really doesn't matter. A women (or a man) will love you for who you are, not your penis size, and when they are having sex with you, they are having sex with YOU, rather than your penis.

End of story.

I want to know if I am still a virgin or not . I sometimes watch porn and get wet but I don't bleed . I musterbate but only externally I don't put anything inside me and I have never had sex .Does slight musterbation and getting wet affect the hymen I just touch myself gently from the outside. Also does watching porn and musterbating that way affect the monthly period ?I want to stop all that anyway since I TRULY think it's becoming an addiction especially porn :S:S:S.

So, I told my dr I wanted to get preg in feb. He said that's fine, then said I'm a great canidate for Gardasil (the HPV vaccine), I agreed, got it (OUCH!!) and then he said "now, when you're ready to get preg, just come on in & we'll take out your IUD"

So, I'm sitting at home that same night & a commercial came on TV saying "Gardasil is not intended for pregnant women or women who intend on becoming pregnant"

ok, so what the hell? Should I believe the doctor, or the tv? lol

And, so I called my doc and left a message asking him, and he hasn't returned my call. You think he realized he FUBARd? (Fkd Up Beyond All Recognition).. ?

Thank you!! Answers and situational stories appreciated!

I have been given the run around by doctors and the Gyno that I am seeing at the moment but find that the other ones have long waiting lists and are too expencive as I am an at home mum at the moment and not working. I just want to find a decent one so that I can get this problem fixed once and for all.

Ok I was just wondering... and theres a lot of factors involved here so please read carefully, if I could be pregnant (which I don't really think I am but would like your opinion just the same). I have been on birth control (yaz) for a year now and my doctor has me take it continually so that I don't have a period. Well I ran out 3 weeks ago and I didn't start taking it again until this last Friday, also because I had stopped taking BC I had a period that started the day after I ran out and ended last Friday as well. Now I know that the general rule of thumb is that you ovulate about 14 days after you period but does that rule apply with a fluke period that only happened cause you suddenly stopped continuous BC? And did my BC cover me 4 days after I started taking it again?

Also I'd appreciate serious answers only and no lectures I know all about safe sex I'm an adult. I also wouldn't be unhappy in the slightest if I were in fact pregnant.

Thank you so much for your answers.
