my 17 year old son came home from school today & told me about his friends "mother" who's boss went out to lunch with employees from my son's friends mother's work (did that make sense?) In a nut shell,the food took forever to come to the table (longer than 25 minutes) & after eating just a bit of it,they all had it boxed up to take back to the office(then home I imagine)with them.SUPPOSEDLY the next day,all of them woke up with blisters around their lips.2 of the afflicted went to the doctor to be told that it was herpes.The remaining afflicted soon followed. They too were told the same thing. Herpes.Now, my son also claims that there was "7 different semen" in the food (they had it tested, again SUPPOSEDLY).
K, I'm 44 & I like to think I'm fairly hip with things,but with his friends mother claiming it happened, maybe I really don't know much about anything.I am under the impression that contracting herpes this way is NEAR impossible.And if it is, would it show up so quickly?

I used to think this same thing until i did some math in my head. First things first..theres only a certain percent of people with AIDS and lets just say its 15 percent of Americans.they only make money off them. Now, if they came up with a "cure" in the form of a vaccinne or shot u have to take once a year (like the flu shot)that would mean mostly like all Americans.100 percent would pay money to take this shot every year. Thats WAY more money. People will pay up the *** for a cure for a deadly disease like that. Also, if they know the cure as people think.why wouldn't they just make HIV treatable for the rest of a persons life.wouldn't they make more money off a person who has to pay for pills for the rest of their life instead of someone with a shortened lifespan? hmm..how would they profit off death? hmm.also why would Bill Gates donated billions of dollars into something theres a cure for.wouldn't u think Bill Gates knows whatsup if there is one already and not waste his money?

For the last few weeks, i've noticed that I have been urinating around 10-12 times a day. I do drink glasses of water every other hour or so. When I go, I usually urinate alot at a time. I know I had a physical and chemical examination about 5 months ago and nothing showed up wrong. I do not have any other symptoms of anything other than urinating alot. What could be the problem? Should I get it checked out?

My doctor said that I have a cyst, but she didn't elaborate. She didn't suggest an ultrasound or mamogram, or any treatment. She just said to avoid caffiene, because that could make the cysts hurt. Should I do something about this? Should mydoctor have done something else? I am in my late 20s, but breast cancer runs in my family.

I have been really worried and i am going to have bld tests. My problem is I havent had a period in 3 months and my lower pelvic region aswell as back is just aching severly. I am only 26 yrs old and the doctor is running tests for all types of things. I am curious if anyone on here knows first hand on symptoms of early ovarian cancer. I keep hearing that you cant get it unless your over 40...is it possible to get cancer at a young age? I know I will find out sooner or later what is wrong but I just feel like talking about it with ppl who may have some insight.

I know this teenages (18) who lives in korea and i have been talking to him for a while..He mentioned to me that he has a illness ( or an illness that effects him mentally). He said that the illness causes him to pay attantion to things we usually wouldn’t pay any attantion too...for example when we breathe...we breathe without thinking about it...but he cant do that...he said that he needs to recognize when to take a breathe and when to release it...he said he is having a problem with his every action in a mental way. He also said that the condition effects his whole nervous system.
He has seen many doctors in Korea and none seem to know what the problem is exactly.
If anyone can help this would be greatly appreciatd as i want to help him very much...if you have any ideas or any way to help please give me some information or tell me what you know or think the problem may be...
Thankyou very much

About 19 years ago I was taken to surgery to have it removed and they gave me the large incision that you use to have before the laparoscopic surgery was in use. But, when they went in they found that it was my appendix causing the trouble and left my gall bladder in. Since the last 10 years I have had trouble with stones and attacks. A doctor told me that I couldn't have it done laparoscopic because of the scar tissue and another one told me I could. I haven't seen the surgeon yet. Does anyone out there know if I can or can't have it done laparoscopically or not.

I have already tried various different soaps and skin products and nothing helps. I installed a water filter in my shower which proved to be a waste of money.
Could I be allergic to something in the water? Should I see my doctor?
