I'm an elementary school teacher.
But everyone in my family who's gotten the shot has felt tired and achey the next day. I haven't gotten the flu in years, and I'm wondering if it's worth paying $25 and feeling bad if there's only a small chance of getting the flu anyway.

not just hispanic people or gay males that are inflicted with h.i.v., aids, but not to many people know this, because it's not ever hardly mentioned. why is this? do you really think it's the irresponsability of having unprotected sex or partners who've shared dirty needles, or a country who ignores the fact that 68% of black americans have this fatal sickness, i am white and i am wondering, now, what do you think, do we all really need to rush over to africa, including black artist, so they can say, they've done their part, when it's right here, in front of us???

I am interested in this man and a good friend let me know that he is HIV positive, the odd thing is it hasn't changed how I feel about him. It's really strange actually, I would just like to learn more about it.

My daughter started to complain that she was itchy on her chest about a week and a hlaf ago. Hives were noticed 3 days ago when I was helping her put calamine lotion on to help with the itch. Hives went on her chest, back, neck and stomach. We started benedryl and have been taking it on a regular basis. After the 3rd day, the hives do not seem to be getting better, but just a little worse. How long should I wait for the benedryl to take effect?

Extended course for HCV from 48 weeks to 72 increase a sustained viral response going by the latest study. Overall SVR between genotype A's and B's is about 60%.

Dont give up if you did not respond well in the first 6 months! As long as you have a viral drop load, keep going and demand the doctor to read updates from the CDC!

Which is better and why? I seem to be allergic to cows milk. I dont think Goats Milk has Lactose in it, I think I am Lactose intolerant but I also get Eczma which I believe is related to milk. Does this mean I am allergic to all milk or just cow's milk?
Any help would be appreciated

thanks
