In addition, I become out of breath each time the headache intensifies. I nearly threw up twice today. I don't have medical insurance at the moment. I'm a minor. My family is in a struggle right now. help.

I have never been with another woman before, but am interested in being, but I'm concerned about what could be contracted between women.

My unlce, which is 39 and has two wonderful kids, and a loving wife, has just be diagnosed with stomach cancer. He went into his operation just yesterday in the morning , in hope of being relieved of this. The doctors couldn't stop it cause it has been spread out too much, they give him 2-3months to live, and apparently he had this for 6 years now, but no one has ever known neither has he and neither has his fmaily doctor.

When my uncle woke up for the operation, he thought everything was fine. We're still undecided if we should tell him or not about the news. he seems to be eatting perfectly, but thats because he can't feel anything right now from the head below. anyways i was wondering if there was any way... like any other way this cancer could be cured, or just for him to live alittle bit more longer. His kids are 8 and 3yrsold. and you know with children they don't remeber the first 4 years of their lives.

we just need a miracle i guess...

My skin has been itching for about two weeks. Everywhere. It is not soo bad, but it irritates. It started at the same time as I got a cat, but there are no flees (anylonger) and I ave also had a treatment against scabies and washed all my clothes etc.
Can it be an allergy towards the cat? Or can it be allergy to the cheap bodylotion that I use everyday?

I am extremely grateful to each one of you for the support you have given me.I went to the Doctor this morning peering down my throat he found a growth and got me to get a MRI. As it turns out, the cancer has returned.The biggest problem is that during the course of my treatment, I received a massive dose of radiation( double of what a person can withstand in his whole life). My MRI was a must but under normal circumstances even an x-ray could prove fatal. Chemo is going to be of no help and there is no question of surgery. My treating doctor is very fond of me as it seems I liven up the hospital and is very frank with me. Now as it stands I have cancer, a time period to live, no voice, no food passage and still have the responsibilty to look after my mother, wife and two teenaged sons. I accepted the verdict very normally as I know there is nothing I or anyone can do. I have lived an extraordinary life and have no regrets. I have ensured that noone in the family will lack anything.

I actually have a couple questions. I have type 1 genital herpes. When will I ever be able to have sex without a condom and not run the risk of spreading it? Is it only transferred through skin to skin contact? And is using a condom a sure fire way of not passing it on?

About 10 years ago when I was 23, I suddenly went blind in one eye. I was in the hospital for three days on solumedrol, then prednisone when I came home. My sight only partially returned. The doc said I was a prime candidate for MS. Since then, my MRIs have shown several spots on the brain. But the docs say they're nothing. I have tremors sometimes, and have difficulty walking down steps. My arm seized up at work once, but the doc said it wasn't MS.

I know MS is difficult to diagnose. Right now I have no insurance. I hate to ask, but does anyone out there who has it give me some enlightenment on what to watch for?

Thanks all.

My best friend of two years has always had horrible migraines and has been on some sort of medicine. Recently, (about two months ago) her mom took her off her medicine. She also has a father who has bipolar disorder.
Yesterday, she was laughing hysterically (over something not that funny) and was doubled over laughing and I went to grab her and she flipped up and around right as i put my hand down and I guess my nail must have scratched her (I didnt feel a thing) but she started FREAKING out at me, cussing me out and calling me a ***** and things in the middle of our English class. I clearly had no clue what was going on and as she was insulting me I got mad and we had a fight.
Later I tried to make amends and she insisted on freaking out AGAIN, cussing me out again and actually slammed a locker on my hand.
My BEST friend of almost two years, and we have never fought like that before. She just suddenly snapped. I want to know if it could be bipolar disorder. This behavior scares me.
