My 2 year old was playing with her 8 month old cousin yesterday pretty much all day. Her cousin was acting fussy, loss of appetite, and had an on and off again fever. Well, the parents took her into her pediatrician who said that she had strep throat. I'm wondering how likey it is that my 2 year old will get it? They play with the same toys and the 8 month old is at the drooly stage...so I'm thinking pretty likey huh? Anything I can do to try to prevent it, or is it too late?

On my lower right leg is a 3" radius patchy red area that keeps itching, I've applied aloe for 3 weeks and its not healed yet. also It appears like new skin is trying to come in or it may be pealing off. I just want that area to be normal again, any suggestions on what to do? I bought Cortizone OTC, however it didn't help. I applied 66^ aloe creame made by Miracle Hand Repair, same issue. I'm willing to try anything now.

Hello, my husband who is 27 years old was recently just diagnosed with cancer. He is feeling very lost and alone from this news.

I came across the website CaringBridge, and I thought that a website like that might do him wonders for his moral. The problem is, we don't know anyone else with cancer who has a site for him to view.

Eventually I would like him to create one for himself, but I was wondering if anyone had one that they wouldn't mind my hubby taking a peak at?

If you don't have a CaringBridge website but have another website, that would be ok too.

I thank you all in advance.

Alright - I've used almost everything you could think of for acne from Proactive to Clean & Clear, from Acnefree to Clearasil, and nothing has worked. I've been to the dermatologist a few times and I am currently on Brevoxyl Creamy Wash and Differen Cream....Wow, it is alot better on my forehead but now I am getting them on my chin and in various places...
How can I become clear? Acne is literally RUNNiNG MY LiFE!
Also I've been on this stuff for three weeks I guess...Is that enough time for my skin to heal?
I really wanna be clear before school starts in about three weeks!
Thanks guys!

Ive tried Vicks vapor rub too greasy and you have to use it every day that rolls for the rest of your life. I need something that will get rid of it. Without having to go to doctor.

I recently found out i have diabetes, but the results did not come in yet to tell which type i am. Right now the doctor makes me get on insulin, which i have been doing for 4 days already, and my blood sugar is reallly good, about 80. I heard the doctors in canada injected some kind of substance in mice who had diabetes and the next day the diabetes were gone. Will this ever be avialable for humans? Also are there any natural medicines that help lower blood sugar instead of insulin, and start to make the pancreas work again?

i used to have asthma as a child, until age 6. never had an asthmatic attack. right now i feel totally normal in my daily life.

playing competitive sports, exercise and such are unaffected by asthma during the day. there is no inability to exercise.

but at nighttime, usually before i sleep around 12am, i will suddenly feel asthmatic. it becomes very hard to breath ( shortness of breath).

i would like to know what causes this, and how do i prevent it?
