Which way do the two prongs face that you place in your nose for oxygen?

I am on oxygen for COPD. If the head gear is facing you as you are putting it on should the prongs face DOWN or UP??
I am having a difficult time figuring out the correct way to insert it in my nostrils. Please help! It is making me a crazy person.....

Milk Allergy?

Does a milk allergy cause constipation? My son who just turned one has chronic constipation. He eats great (prunes, green veggies) and drinks both juice and water daily. His pediatrition just prescribed him Myrilax (on it for two days hasn't helped yet). I am allergic to milk and am wondering if this could be the cause of his constipation. His doc says he is too young to be tested for allergies and if this medicine doesn't work than he will refer him to a pediactric gastro doctor.

How can i get rid of cysts in the pubic area?

I have been having cysts in my pubic area very frequently. sometimes they will grow up to the size of a nickel, then they bust and grow back. I would like to get rid of them. I am not sexually active but could it still be an STD? I already know that I should go to the doctor...just want your opinion first.

How sad is this?

A person (claiming to be a pre-med student) told another person on the forum that cold sores are NOT the herpes simplex virus. She said she gets them all the time but warned that they were contagious.

Good grief! You would think that if you were going to put your source as "pre-med" you may actually do some research before spouting completely false answers. Right?

My partner and I both have herpes, Can we still have unprotected sex?

I recently tested positive for herpes. My doctor told me that from the looks of my lesion that I could have contracted herpes about a month ago. I've been with my boyfriend for a couple of months and we have been having unprotected sex so I know I've contracted herpes from him. I recently told him and we both decided to stay together through this but he is worried about the sex. He doesn't like the way condoms feel and is really worried that he won't enjoy sex with a condom. My doctor recently prescribed Valtrex for my condition and I have told him to get checked up so that he can start taking medicine also. So my question is since we both have herpes can we still have unprotected sex?

My husband has been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and High Cholesterol. In supporting his "new" Diabetic diet, I have opted to be on a Diabetic Diet with him. Also, my daughter is 10, and she is very thin, I was having her do this diet as well, but allow her to eat "junk" food on occasion. Is it nutritionally safe for my child to do a No Sugar/Low Fat diet as well?

Unexplicable tiredness...Does anyone know what it could be? What can I do for it?

About two months ago, I was diagnosed with mononucleosis, but even then, my doctor told me that I was in the "recovery phase". Omg, this tiredness can not still be from that can it? Shouldn't I be over it? I know I can rule out some things...pregnancy is definately one of them. But I am always tired, and it's taking away from my life. I can't perform in school, at work, with the family, or anything the way I used to. What could possibly be wrong?

If anyone has any information about Mono, and how long it will take me to be okay agian, I would greatly appreciate that too. Thanks so much! God bless!
