someone sent me a email about shaken baby syndrome and this sounds incorrect to me-i have a disabled baby who has had open heart surgery and this just dont add up.--"When we first arrived at the hospital they put a pressure gage into his head to moniter the Intercranial Pressure (The pressure that the brain is under due to swelling and Bleeding). He wasn't doing too well all day yesterday, his pressure in his head was ranging between 29-40 and the normal pressure is between 5-20. So doctors decided that the best thing to do was to put a tube into his brain to drain spinal fluid from his ventricle. This procedure was a sucess and brought the pressure down."

is there spinal fluid in your brain,and do we have ventricles up in our head?thats what i would like to know--thanks!

It's a controversial cure because they take the brain cells from an aborted baby and use it to treat the disease. That what my science teacher told me that the government won't allow it because there would be a lot of controvery. You know there will be people protesting against that and that' probably why to just avoid all of this.....the government won't allow it. I know abortion is wrong, however, a woman isn't going to have an abortion just to cure Alzheimer's. For whatever reason they are getting it is their choice and not mines and if they are going to do it they might as well give the baby's brain cells and help cure a disease. I'm not saying they should just kill a baby just to add an extra few years to an older person's life, however, woman get abortions so they don't have to deal with taking care of a child. If they going to do it anyways......might as well. What do you all think?

So last week I had a pretty bad cold sore and then it went away and there was just a small scab and that got better. Then last night I gave my husband 'oral' and woke up this morning and I have an even worse cold sore. Is there a chance (if so like how small/big) that I could have transmitted this to my husbands penis, if so what do we do, how would we find out, is there anyway to find out? Maybe im being paraniod but I feel I should be. Thanks for any advice/help

Why does my boyfriend have itchy feet? It's not contagious, 'cause I don't have it. But it drives him nuts! Moisturizing creams don't help.

The doctors don't know why...I feel like they are just trying to medicate her for nausea and not find the cause of all of this - she is on dialysis now and does really well with it - she isn't sick during the dialysis...What things should I ask them to test for? She is afraid to eat, that it will make her more sick and I am afraid she is going to want to stop dialysis because of this...what could be the cause of all of her nausea and dry heaves? She has had them almost everyday for 3 weeks....

thanks for the help...
