I'm getting a little ticked here. I have been reading some of the answers to STD questions and some of the responses disturb me. Let me tell you this. JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE HAS AN STD---DOES NOT MEAN THAT THEY DIDN'T USE A CONDOM WHEN IT HAPPENED. It seems that some people are thinking "well dumb a** why didn't you use a condom " For the last time condoms only help a little they are NOT 100% SAFE.

I have heard this term used to make fun of the president . He abused alcohol and claimed to have found god at the age of 40 and stopped .
Some who disagree with him call him a Dry Drunk a pergorative used in AA to describe a person who does not use alcohol but is not a AA member.
Reading this site set up to look as a offical medical site
http://www.minnesotarecovery.info/literature/drydrunk.htm



I wonder if Dry Drunk does not fit closer to Anti social personality disorder.
http://www.mentalhealth.com/dis1/p21-pe04.html

Why does one have to attend AA to stop drinking or moderate when 95 % of those who go to AA leave in a year and most heavy drinkers stop or moderate on thier own How can Not going to AA be used s a diagnostic criteria or a disorder?
AA is but one of many ways to stop or moderate .

3 fedral courts have found AA to be religion the Supream court let stand a ruling it is . .
So why is not going to a relgious service a disorder ?

Has anyone else ever heard of a Dr telling a cancer survivor this? he told her she might trigger the cancer cells to start up again. Does this sound like something a Dr should be telling a patient, especially one whose diet is poor and is underweight but wasn't at the time he told her this.

Creating a fictional character who had frequent contact with sick children, American west, 1925ish to 1935ish. Assuing she does not age, what diseases would such a woman be able to carry and transmit? I've ruled out anything bacterial as being subsequently cured by antibiotics.

I was tested positive for herpes almost a year ago and since then have never experienced any type of symptom. Is it possible that there was a misdiagnosis or am I just still living in denial?
