I have a huge water cravings. Off an on throughout the week. I usually chug a big amount of what ever I'm drinking. 1 drink to me is like 3 to someone else. I do drink pop, but I also drink a good amount of water, and juice(juicy juice, sunny d ect.) I have been on a no fat diet, also, but the cravings started before then. I have been previously been tested for sugar and I dont have it. That was about 6 months ago, but I had the craving then too. I also have GERD.

My skin is very sensitive and extremely prone to acne and black heads especially on my back neck and shoulders. I go through stages where I'm clear on my face but then break out after a week or two...and the cycle continues. The acne on my back is constant. I'm extremely embarrassed by it. I'm 22 years old and I have to avoid wearing tank tops, backless dresses and bathing suits, but I'm too embarrassed to show anyone (ie. doctor) What should I do?

My girlfriend gave me oral sex last night, and today she has a cold sore on her mouth.

she claims that it was because of me that she has it. i know that cold sores are herpes, but i don't think that i have genital herpes or anything like that.
Does this mean that I have herpes and gave it to her?

is she never going to want to touch that area or me again? i'm afraid she's going to break up with me because i have herpes and she doesn't want to get it again.

My hands and feet are getting extremely tingly and itchy after I am out in the sun. I'm someone who is outdoors and at the pool a lot and never had a problem. I thought maybe my hands and feet were getting burned although they don't look red. I put spf 30 on them and its still happening. Its so bad at night it wakes me up in my sleep hurting. Does anyone know what this might be or what I could do ? I can't avoid being outdoors and unsure what to do

i heard that sunscreen prevents us from wrinkles and skin cancer and everybody needs it. and i also heard that no sunscreen actually works. they dont completely block the sun rays but they kind of let it seep in your skin slower than usual. and people only say its necessary because these advertising companies only want to make some profit out of it. i dont know whats true and whats not.

p.s. please dont recommend me sunscreen products as i already know what works for me just incase i need it. i'm just trying to cut down on unnecessary products.

Obviously, they see many many more cases of cancer than the average person. Hundreds or thousands more. Do they become numb to it and accept their inevitable fate? Do they repress a growing and overwhelming fear? Are they optimistic that they are helping to eradicate cancer once and for all - and that is where they put heir energy instead of fear?

i have mitral valve prolapse and i have had it since i was born so i am familiar with it and get yearly checkups at the heart doctor for it but i am just now starting to accually research it. this may sound weird but the best way for me to describe it is that my heart and chest area feel heavy and i start to feel really drained and tired. also sometimes when i have been laying down watching tv or reading for awhile and i stand up i start to get dizzy and everything that i see gets darker but it only lasts a couple of seconds. and i just want to confirm that when u have mvp you tend to have alot of anxiety and shortening of breath all of a sudden and a quiken of your heart beat right? also every once in a while when im breathing my chest starts to hurt (specifically around the bottom left part of my rib cage) and i have to take alot of small short breaths for them to stop.
can you tell me everything u know about mvp thx

My husband of 9 years was diagnosed by his doctor/ sister five months ago as type 2 diabetic. My husband took great pride in his health. Ever since, he has changed. His blood sugar is under control with medicine but it's taken it's toll on him mentally. His sister and I have been sworn to secrecy about this and I am at my wit's end on what to do. For ex: he was off yesterday but had diarreah all day so he more or less laid around and slept all evening until we went to bed. This disease has changed our way of life so tremendously and I have tried to talk to him and support him no matter what but I can't get through to him. He seems to stay depressed but no way will he see a doctor other than his sister, nor will he take any more medicine except for diabetes. He won't open up and talk. He is only 41 but his feet hurt all the time. He did open up once and said Do you know what it's like talking about ED with your sister? What can I do to get him out of his funk before it kills my marriage
