My brother needs to sleep with oxygen at night, and we need a name for a provider of a portable oxygen converter for our Sept. vacation visit to Seattle. This provider needs to be one who accepts Medicare.

I was recently diagnosed with Chronic Mono, which is chronic Epstein Barr Virus. One doc told me I would have this all my life. Another said no. One said I had to sleep it off, another said take follic acid and exercise a few times a week. I have tried both and all I know is I am usually always bone tired and can sleep 24 hours a day and still not feel rested. This is no way to live. Does anyone have any ideas? Please?!!?!?!!

I live in Arizona and have severe allergies (just had them for the first time this season). My allergies were really bad in May and June, fine in July, but today for some reason they really flared up. All day today, my nose has been either totally stuffed up or running like water, I've been sneezing a lot, and coughing a bit. Will the Zyrtec (which I have left over from a prescription) work if I take it today, or should I take something else?

I'm only 13 years old and fairly healthy. But about a year ago this big white spot appeared on my right arm. and now it's getting bigger and littler ones are coming up. It's very dry but doesn't itch or anything. My mom said its because I scrub to hard in the shower but I dont. And My friend said it might be because I'm not getting enough calcium. which could be true because I NEVER drink milk. What Do You Think I Should Do!? Please Help!!

Gayness and lesbianism stems from the blood they carry. It can turn a straight person gay once the blood gets into the mainstream and begins to take over the straight blood. I heard this might be true, is it?

When I was 15 months old I was diagnosed with spinal meningitis and I was in a coma for 2 weeks. I was just wondering if there are any long term effects from it and what if any are they? I can't concentrate sometimes or comprehend things and it effects the jobs that I really want because I know in the long run I will be good at them but when I first start, it takes me a while to get the hang of it and no one wants to be bothered with the extra time it takes for me. I get dizzy and sometimes feel nausious. I get sinus headaches alot too but I don't think they are related. Can someone please fill me in a little because I am searching for answers and keep finding dead ends? Thanks!

I have advanced Emphysema and I'm wondering how others keep their spirits up when the "Bad" days roll around. I've been feeling crummy, I'm really grumpy & I don't like me much when I'm like this. (I'm sure no one else does either!) Please treat this question with respect...no jokers OK?

We thought my brother got bit by a brown recluse on his lip and between his fingers a few months ago. Its back now but, between his toes and on his hands along with the original areas. The skin blisters and peels. It is very painful and seems to kill the flesh and spread. The day before he had a horrible migraine and woke up the next morning with the skin red and irritated. It itched so, he scratced and the skin peeled off. He is very worried because the doctors told him they don't know what it is and to take pictures as it worsens. Any ideas of what this could be?

I think the guy I'm dating has an std. I'm not sure though. He doesn't have any open wounds but I was giving him head today and I saw about (4) give or take a few on his penis. Not his head though. They weren't open sores or anything but they were red dots. Do you know anything about this or I dunno what to do. I don't feel comfortable asking just yet or how to put it out there. Help?!

Dating someone with an infectious disease... herpes, hiv, aids, syphyllis, etc. How would this affect your relationship? Would it matter what the disease was... curable or uncurable? Should they disclose early on in the relationship? All feedback welcomed!
