I have had "Herpes I" in the form of cold sores on my mouth.
My partner contracted "Herpes I" gentially when receiving oral sex from someone with a cold sore.
My question is, can I recontract Herpes I from my partner genitally, or am I already immune in that I already have the virus orally.
Please respond only if you have medical experience.

I know angina is caused by a lack of oxygen getting to the heart muscle. what i want to know is how it can be the coronary artery causing this given that i have always learnt that arteries carry blood away from the heart so this should mean that the coronary artery should carry the de-oygenated blood used by the heart muscle to the lungs to be oxygentated then shouldn't the oxygentaed blood be broughht back to a the heart muscle by the coronary vein? (p.s i know how blood circulates through the heart via lungs then to body...i am asking specifically about cornanary circulation that supplies blood to the heart muscle)

We've been only with each other -- no one else. We are clean from our annual visit to the Dr.'s office.

Ever since I can remember I have hated milk. I don't like chocolate, ice cream, puddings or yogurts. I do like cheese but don't often eat a lot of cheese. I know that most give me a mild stomach ache but I'm wondering if subconsiously I avoid them because I know they give me stomach aches. Would you think the stomach ache would indicate I'm lactose intolerant.
Also my baby when she drinks formula it seems to make her upset I try and breast feed her when I can but she may have a bottle once a day, could she be lactose intolerant

Right now its 1:30 am and I'm still up cause I'm having a tough time breathing through my nose. My nose has been stuffed up on and off all day, and now that I'm trying to get to sleep its completely stuffed up.

I bought some cough drops that claim to help clear the nasal passages but they're not working. I also bought a nasal spray, but I can't breathe well enough through my nose to breathe it in.

What else can I try to help me breathe better so I can get to sleep?

My father, the heart patient, suffered from a minor heart attack a month ago. Lately he was prescribed ibuprofen for pain relief. After 3 days of medication (precribed dosage) he suffered from nausea, and blood vomiting. He is in intensive care unit right now. They have cleansed his system via laxatives. Not sure about the extent of damage though. What is the best way of recovery?

A molecule of water is in your Renal Artery. Please trace its path from the artery, though the urinary tract and out via urine. What structures will it pass through? What internal factors determine if and when the water leaves?

I've been experiencing lightheadedness and what appears to be a drop in my heart rate after drinking any type of alcohol. Over the past few weeks I want to go to sleep even after having a bottle of beer. I'm a 25-year-old male that has never had a low tolerance of alcohol and now I'm scared to drink because I think something is wrong and the alcohol is bringing it out. What is the alcohol doing? I haven't added anything to my diet or taken anything away. The only thing I've been taking that is new is a once a day multi vitamin.

My sister has been diagnosed with this and I have heard it progresses very rapidly. She has lost a lot of her word find abilities and now she sometimes doesnt understand the words spoken to her.
I am assuming within a couple years she will be very demented and maybe not able to understand anything and probably totally dependent for all of her needs.
What would you do if you were in my position? I am 16 yrs younger than her. She lives in Virginia and I live in Illinois and we arent really that close, but I wouldnt wish this on anyone.

As you know it's spring, and the weather is getting warmer and yes I WILL need to wear short sleeves again. But, damn it I got a wart on my arm that is NOTICEABLE! Yes, I am working at it to get rid of it by taping this stupid pad or something that the doctor told me to use but, there is STILL a MONTH left until it will be gone. So how should I cover it up? Got any clever ideas? And please don't say BAND-AID because ppl are gonna be asking "y r u wearing a band-aid for a MONTH now?" PLEASE! Any creative ideas?

Or if you DON'T know then maybe a MIRACLE will happen and SOMEONE out there will know a way to get rid of a wart in a couple of days or something.

Help. I'm doomed.
:(

Has anyone heard if potassium will help RLS? I've recently read online that RLS could be from a depletion of potassium, magnesium or iron. Any thoughts?
