I found out I have herpes about 6 months ago and I read that headaches are very common with this disease, but what if I get them almost every day?

They say that at 50, 50% of that age group has it. Why does no one admit it if it's so prevalent?

not go away. the skin feels numb and hard. when i bend or walk it gets worse. just wondering if anyone might know what this could be. I've been thinking about going to the emergency room but i've been told by a doctor that i have ulcers about 2 years ago and i was thinking maybe that's what it is. I've had no fever or chills or vomiting the only thing is the pain that won't go away.

Please help kate

Is it possable that the revenue made from medication and treatment is far greater than the need to cure. An american drug has just been denied in Canada because it is to expensive. Our health care is universal and for all intents and purposes free.

Aids mutates millions of times in a body everday, and evertime it mutates it is not an exact copie of itself, it losses a little of it self time after time, all new med, like protease inhibitors, block the virus from completing its function to make a copy of it self, so with medication we have the ability to get a person to an undetectabe stage but not all the way knocked out. we have what is called sleeper cells in our body where the virus hides, every antibody in your body at one time or another has fought off any infection like measles, the mumps, sore throat, what ever and there allways persent when there not needed sleeping waiting for say the measles, then they wake up and fight it, the aids virus hides here if we find away to wake these cells we possible can find a cure, but reaserch is tryin to wake these cells in diffrent studys maybe one day well have a cure, buts thats way off..

My mum has been unwell for a while now, she has lost her voice and has a very sore throat. She has had blood tests which show she has inflamation in her blood and she has just had a biopsy on her throat for which she is to go for the results on wednesday. Do you think it might be cancer or can you think of some other explanation. She is a non- smoker. Please give me honest answers as i am writing this through tears.

It really itches, when they bite me. Sometimes I scratch so hard and I take out blood. But it's funny because I don't feel anything when they bite me. But I'll get over it.

Recently I've noticed my anus is itchy especially during the night, when i wake up due to it. I have sudden urges to go to the toilet for a poo and when I pass a stool I have seen quite a few times a thin, long, white thread type thing just under the surface of the stool. I have not seen anything wriggling about in the toilet. I am not sure if I am describing threadworms or pinworms or whether I am mistaking the sighting for digested food????

How would I know?? (apart from going to my Gp?) Help!!!

Thanks.

A few days back I posted a question about the difference between coughing at a smoker, and gagging at an obese person. Yes both are impolite, people have feelings, blah, blah, blah.

My question was more of a comment on political correctness. Both are rude, and we live in a country were you can say and do whatever you want, as long as it doesn't impede on the rights of others. If you want to smoke, you should be able to smoke, if you want to eat yourself to death, you have that right too. But lets not pretend that one is better then the other. Really, do you think that the number of people who suffer from these "conditions" that cause obesety is all that significant? Instead of making excuses, more people should own up to there faults. I am overweight, I admit it. And, I used to smoke. I am not blaming anyone. It's funny, though. When I told people that I quit smoking, they congratulated me. When I started my diet, They all told me that I wasn't overweight, or not to "take it too far". I am 5'8, 195lbs. Anorexia isn't even an issue. No one even thought of the health risks that attributed my being overweight, but everyone thought of the potential of me starving myself to death. We can point at people like Lindsey Lohen and comment on how unhealthy she is, but not at Wynona Judd. Why all of this empathy towards obesity?

Again, this is not a jab at anyone, this is a social commentary. Why is our society so fat-sensitive?
