for some time now, my legs have been swollen. its usually from the ankle to the knee. My leg feels really tight, but no pain, and im not swollen anywhere else. Someone told me it might be that I eat too much salt, dont drink enough water and they gave me a few other reasons. But im not too sure, and if anyone knows a real good way to get rid of the swelling that would be awesome too!! thanks!

My grandma is in pretty good health for being 78, she had a bi-pass surgery about 6 years ago and is an active woman.

She recently had a lot pain in her leg and went to the doctor, they took a biopsy of her bone marrow and informed her that she has chronic leukemia.

She is taking medications and chemo that is costing $3000 a month. She honestly believes she is not going to make it.

What are the chances she will beat the leukemia at her age?

I knew two people her age with leukemia and both of them died within a year even though they had top of the line doctors. I am feeling pretty hopeless!

We have been together for 4years and I feel like I'm ready now to have kids when I haven't been for 26 years. I've recently had an abnormal pap smear where my doctor found high grade lesions and I had the procedure done to remove them from my cervix. Right now I feel confident that the time is now to have kids, now or never, but I don't know how safe I am from having unprotected sex with my boyfriend who has hpv also. what should i do, should i not try to have kids with him or should I?

Sorry for asking the same question twice. But It was lacking information and I don't know how to edit it.

I just want to learn. Yes which means is not going to happen, just learning to see if it's safe and possible.

Okay, she has HSV-1 but ONLY cold sores in her mouth. However, when the cold sores are gone and after a week we decide to have sex. Let's say, oral sex. Would I get it if we don't use a condom? Remember, she doesn't have cold sores in her mouth at that moment. It has been recovered. Only her mouth, nowhere else, but it's been recovered.

So if I play with her genital area I can get it even though there are no cold sores happening? And if she played with mine?

I'm learning, not doing. Thank you. Please answer as much as possible.

Im takin 40MG accutane and im wonderin is 40 MG weak to kill acne? I havent seen the results i wanted yet but i can tell my face is gettin a little better barely. I want to take a higher dosage like 80MG cause i want to see results ASAP and for the side effects i only got dry lips that it.

MY doctor told me i should take 40 mg ONE TIME A DAY ( it said on box 2 times a day) because its my first time tryin it and she said later on she will increase the dosage.

So people do you think a week and 4 days is to short to judge the effectiveness of Accutane? Should i wait 2 more weeks or more???

and can i use oilve oil on my face overnight???? or vaseline????

My guy keeps his feet very clean, but he wears leather work boots on a daily basis. He hasn't had athletes foot for years until he recently purchased these boots. They were not tried on by someone else prior to his purchase. He has been no where near a place where he could get it from someone or a contaminated surface. How could he have gotten it?

I have read the details of the disease. I guess I am just wondering if it never will happen with the meds or 5 years or what?
