I am a high powered attorney that is well respected and used to speaking for a living and holding folks confidence and trust. Here's the question that I need some simple advive on:
I have gotten cold sores for many years and know that its root cause is herpes and that I can take medication, which I do, but what do you recommend telling folks and your felow collegues when you go from great looks and position to the next day showing up with an embarassing cold sore?

ok, I went to the zoo on Thursday, and I noticed that there was poison ivy around everywhere! Afterwards, I went home, and showered, and washed my clothing. Today, I wake up to very irritated eyes, with what looks like puss pockets close to the iris of both of my eyes, and definite poison ivy on both arms. I also have itching in throat and down in my ear. Is what is in my eye, throat and ear poison ivy? It is itching and very irritated. Any body have any home remedies that might work?
thanks!

The clinic sent results to my obgyn but I have not heard from them. Looking on the internet none of the reasons for having ketones seem to be my problem. However have not been tested for diabetes. I will have health insurance in about 3 months so I would like to wait. I am afraid that if i do have diabetes the new insurance will not cover a preexisting condition. Do you know any other reason one might have ketones.?

I moved to Spokane, WA about a month ago. Ever since then the front of my neck has been itching. Nothing else, just my neck. Anybody from the area know of any allergens that I wouldn't have been exposed to in Oregon?

There has been rumors that the AIDS is not true. It is a made up disease, the vaccine given to the "victims" are not vaccines, and only makes the infection worse. To the HIV (claimed to be AIDS positive already) victims who have stayed and didnt take their "medications" lives and doesn't die.

Back in the 1980s, I worked for Eckler's Corvettes, Titusville, FL. I had to quit because the fumes from the resin burnt out my sinuses and the fiberglass irratated my skin and the combination effected my lungs. I need to know the ingredients used to see what happened.

I have been using anusol for about a week and it does not seem to be helping much. Can anyone suggest anything better that can be bought without a prescription. I don't really want to go to the doctor unless I have to - I don't like the idea of getting my bottom examined ! Any advice would be much appreciated. I am in the UK.

What is the mortality rate for a 21 year old with a staph infection in the bloodstream. (Contracted initially 3 years ago in the arm from a very large {illegal} tatoo.) She's already been having problems with bronchial cough off and on for a year. She keeps her skin clean, and when there is a small "flare up" of infection on the skin, she's pretty aggressive about keeping it clean with rubbing alcohol.

I didn't know this was so serious. Please help with any info.
Graciousness.

I pierced my ears about 4 months ago. i never had an infection and I always wore gold earring studs, until yesterday when my right earlobe really hurt when my earring moved. I took out the earring and washed it with ear care antiseptic stuff. But when I press down on my right earlobe, it's different from my left one; the right one is hard inside around the piercing and it really hurts when i press it. I can't put an earring in because it REALLY hurts. It's not red or discharging anything, so I was wondering what this could be?
