My husband has recently been suffering from these awful, debilitating headaches that last for weeks. He can't take any over the counter pain meds because they really upset his stomach, and perscriptions like T3 are even worse...plus they don't help. He's had a CT scan and everything is normal, he's tried getting a lot of sleep, drinking caffine and using Head On, antihistamines, decongestants and steroid nasal spray but nothing really seems to help.

The pain seems like it could be sinus, and it doesn't always stay in the same place. It can be on one side of his forehead, or both, the top of his head, behind his eyes etc.

Any suggestions anyone?

Thanks for the info regarding this issue (Husband has lo pulse genetically and is on atenolol which makes him out of breath and lower pulse, e.g. 40)
My husband has taken acetazolamide (which I requested from doc) due to a small study that found it helped some with severe sleep apnea. But after the 2 stents were placed in Dec. 06, doc gave him cozaar, which is contraindicated w/ postassium, but when take acetazolamide, need to take potassium supplement. I understand that blood tests could monitor this interaction; and the acet. does help with the sleep apnea (a bit, he has complex apnea and is getting the new vpap machine in about a month). Cardiologist is on vacation now, I have called twice about this question and tried to ask him last visit, but he only has about 15 minutes per patient (he spent more like 45 minutes w/us), yet I still didn't get through my list of questions.

I am a virgin and have never had cold sores on my mouth or anything like that.
But recently I've started having one or two [at most, at one time] blood-filled blisters on the outer genital area.
I can't figure out for the life of me what is going on. I have never had sex, never had oral herpes, etc...
can someone help me?

My friend and I were debating on whether or not if a man has passed a kidney stone or more that it will make him better in bed. I say no, she says yes. The only relation I see is that the stone comes out through their penis & they use their penis during sex. She says if a man has passed a stone, he can get an erection faster & stay harder longer. She said she'd rather conceive a baby with a man that has passed a kidney stone, I say it wont make a difference. My bf had a stone & he said it was the worst pain he's ever had. He described his ordeal by saying that he had to stand over the pot & aim his dick at a strainer and piss out a sharp, hard rock! Any women out there have a preference when it comes to conceiving? I highly doubt it.

My brother in-law has been in a relationship with a girl for about 4 months, she has Herpes.
My brother in-law sometimes shares his drinks with the kids, I think he believes he can only catch it if there is an outbreak. But my question is, IF he had it could he spread it to my kids?! I am talking about the STD herpes, not the mouth herpes.
He gave my children the drink before I even knew it.

They itch terribly and is red and kind of rashy. There is a little hole where it bit and/or entered and a little line (track) as if it burrowed under my skin. When I squeezed it, clear liquid came out of it. The whole little swollen and red area is about an inch and a half approximately. What on earth is it and how do I get rid of it and avoid it in the future!? Thanks so much!

ive been having oral sex with my boyfriend a lot lately, without condoms. we never have used one. he's the only one ive been with, and im the only one he's been with as well. however, sometimes the day after i give him a ********, i get a very sore throat. it only stays for about a day, but it is painful. i havent noticed any bumps or anything, on me or him, but im wondering if i could have an std. is it just a coincidence? i dont think ive gotten a fever accompanying the sore throat...

My best friend is HIV positive. The biggest problem is that I want to help him in every way I can but he doesnt know Im aware of it!! He's been taking these set of 5 different pills every day and I got kinda of concerned, but every time I asked him what they were for he'd say "Oh they're vitamins" but to me it seemed too weird to take so many vitamins every day so I wrote down the name of two of them one day he was taking them and when I did my research online..OMG I found out that those pills were for people treating the disesase of HIV. Although theres no cure for it as of today, the pills are supposed to help him fight any possible illness he may catch since hes more vulnerable to any!
Now i feel so awful and I just want to tell him that Im there for him and that I love him more than ever, I can just imagine how he feels, but I dont know what to say or how to say it because I dont want him to feel that I invaded his privacy by investigating on my own?
What should I do?

this is sooo embarressing but i need to know what this is...for the last year i have had a large bump coming out of my butthole. i figured it was a himroid; i tried every cream/powder out there. it would only cause it to decrease, not go away. But the last 2 weeks orange fluid [the color of cheetoes] has come out as i used the restroom. and now it's starting just to "leak" out onto my pants at anytime, i have no idea wat this is...once the fluid comes out its gone, but then it comes back the next day. it is a large sphere comeing OUT of my butt, it does not itch or irratate, i don't even notice that its there, besides the fact that its disgusting! help me please, im worried!

A girlfriend of mine, who has oral herpes, may be infecting unsuspecting others. I know of her, her herpes, and the irresponsibility with which she has contact with males, who don't know her personal medical history.

I mean, can't herpes cause damage?
