Me and my boyfriend are each others first for everything. We've been together for 2 years. Yesterday he found this itty bitty red bump on the head of his penis and hes worried its syphillis. I know for a fact that i dont have that or any std. I don't have any sores nor have been with any other person. We don't have sex but i do give him oral sex. In a way i am a little offended, but i understand that he is worried. Hes going to get it checked out in a few days. I personally think its an irriation but he is really worried about it. What do you think it could be?



He also doesnt want oral sex anymore so we're just sticking to hand jobs.

My girlfriend had what looked like the start of a cold sore, that was 8 days ago and nothing has come up. So we called it a false alarm and kissed anyway. I'm willing to accept that i might have them.

My question it, If you kiss someone who has one, are you always gonna get it that very second, or is it possible that you can get lucky and not contract it?

Does anyone know what might cause muscle enzymes to be elevated?

For sometime (a couple of months), I have been feeling a discomfort on the left side of my upper abdomen. Sometimes, it also seems like my left ribs just by the diaphrahm protrude a little bit more than the right, just the section of ribs at the top of my left abdomen, and just with two ribs.

I have done tests on my spleen, abdomen, kidney, liver and heart and they are all normal. However, my muscle enzymes were slightly elevated. My doctor advised that I stop working out for a while (as this increases muscle enzymes) and test again, but they are still elevated. Does anyone know any other causes for elevated muscle enzymes?

I'm 5'1" and 120 lbs my heart rate is 92/57 and pulse is 63. I've been recently running 2.5 mi/5 days a week for 3 months now could that have something to do with it? I feel healthy, sometimes tired, but I think that is related to my blood sugar at that moment.

What would you do for a mother-in-law who is dying of cancer and lives in another state? My mother-in-law has stage 4 cancer (I think) that's spread throughout her body. She's no longer in remission, and the prognosis does not sound encouraging. What would you do for her (other than pray for her), if you knew she might only have a few more months to live? We have never lived near her, and I do not have what I would call a close relationship with her. We did invite her to stay with us over Thanksgiving last year when her cancer was in remission, which went really well. Now she's back on chemo, so I don't think she'll be up to traveling.

They checked my thyroid, I have trouble breathing and swallowing, usually happens at night. One thing I noticed is my heart rate is really high - usually about 90/min. My blood pressure on the other hand is super low - when I was having a really tough time breathing it was 50/95...... The doctors never noted either of those things though. This started when I was about 4 months pregnant and happens 1-2xs/month (son is 18 months old now... ANY IDEAS/theories. They did a pressure test and when it was bad it was 200 when 400 is good or something and a few days later is was 360.... they did chest xrays and a further breathing test - test the pressure and then with a steroid and there was no change... Now i was referred to a ear, nose and throat doctor! ANY THEORIES?!?!?

I'm really worried for my bestfriend. She told me she thought she had an STD. She explained to me that she noticed a bump on her vagina that caused pain and eventually turned into a white head or something. Then she said it busted and a whitish substance came out and then it bled a little. And just the other day she told me that the same thing happened again except it was close to the corner of her mouth. Im really scared for her. I told her it may be herpes or something but I dont know. She's going to go get tested but I dont know when. I just need something to tell her so that she will see how serious this is.
