Diseases & Conditions - 6 August 2006

I get cold sores. (only 2 so far in my life) this means that I have herpes simplex 1 (of the mouth). My girlfriend recently discovered that she has herpes simplex 1 (on her genitals, but not her mouth). I may or may not have given it to her via oral sex (We have both had different sexual partners both before and after different periods of dating). Can she spread simplex 1 to MY genitals via genital contact?

Now before you give me an answer, I suggest that you re-read the details of this question. She has had a medical professional tell her that it CANNOT be spread to me via genital contact. Before we have genital contact again, we would like to research this to be sure I am not putting myself at risk by having genital contact with her. This is her second outbreak and I obviously wouldn't have genital contact with her during an outbreak. If it cannot be spread, are the outbreaks relevant to genital contact?

My cousin's doctor is away on vacation. Her earache happened as a by product of a cold which developed into bronchitis. She told me that she went to the emergency room and that they gave her some antibiotic eardrops but the pain is ten times worse since she started the drops. She has an appointment with her regular doctor next Wednesday. Is there anything she can do in the meantime to help alleviate her earache? Any medical advice would be greatly appreciated. I am also open to suggestions of valid alternative medicine including homeopathy and herbs although my cousin is more comfortable with allopathic medicine.

Don't tell me to go to the doctor. I am going to go soon. I just want an idea of what it could possibly be. I often get a sharp pain for my fingers to the middle of my forearm. This happens to both of my arms. My hands always hurt. My mother, 38, and her mother, 64, have "Carpal Tunnel". My dad, 40, and his mom, 78, have "Rheumatoid Arthritis". I am only fourte
en though. Right now my right arm is throbbing. My arms and hands are shaky. I don't beleive it could be what my family has since I am only 14 and female. If you have any questions just ask.

The only way for it not to hurt is to shake my hand for about twenty seconds but then it starts to hurt again in a couple minutes. I want to know if there is anything to stop the hurt.

I have stopped riding my bike, shooting, and writing for the most part. The grip hurts alot.

It is more often from my elbow to 3 inches down into the fore arm.

The pain is sort of like when some people (including me)get growing pains in the legs

I'm confused, depressed, angry, and I feel violated. Although I know it doesn't matter, I've only had 2 sexual partners at the age of 22. Do any of you have any advice or could share experiences with me to help me get over the shock of all of this???

Thanks
