My mother was complaining of chest pain, loss of energy and breathlessness for several months before she died. How can you tell the difference between allergy problems, ingestion and the general ageing process and a heart attack warning? She was being more and more inhalers for breathlessness, while I believe, congestive heart failure was not being investigated throughly enough. Any thoughts on this?

Medicaid will not help me because I am not pregnant nor do I have a minor child. I have no idea how to pay these bills, no insurance company will cover me because of my pre-existing condition. Someone please help me these bills just keep piling up.

I have recently become concerned about a mole on the underside of my arm. I think it may have always been there but I don’t have any specific memories of it before the start of this year. It is pinkish, round, raised, smooth and a little shiny. I suspect it’s always been there but I can’t be completely sure. I’m currently living in South Korea and I don’t speak the language so going to the doctor will be difficult but not impossible. Do you think it is something to be concerned about?

I have genital herpes. My girlfriend gets cold sores. I've been researching this with varied results. I know that HSV2 can be spread with or without an outbreak present. How else is it transmitted besides open sores? I've been reading that HSV2 can be spread to the mouth, is that in the form of HSV1? What do the sores look like, HSV1 or HSV2? With all that I've read, I haven't found anything about people with cold sores on their genitals or herpes outbreaks on their faces. Is oral sex safe for us? All information is much appreciated.

So my hubby gave me HPV. I know it was him because I have only had 2 partners in the last 6-7 years and I am tested regularly. I have already had 2 laparoscopic surgeries and us having kids isn't looking very good. I feel dirty and embarassed. I feel like a failure now because I can't give him the children that he has always wanted. I feel inadequate and like less of a woman. I have tried to be intimate with him but I can't bring myself to it. I'm not sure why or how to fix it.
