It seems so depressing. I know they say there is viral shedding,My dr says she wont prescribe valtrex cause i only have a few mild outbreaks,not worth the money or side effects.I can only find scary hopeless sites on herpes and dating. Shouldnt it be safe,,if there are no sores present and have little to no outbreaks,even with condems it still seems possible to pass it,Or is the drugs companys trying to scare people into buying their drugs.? So is general basic skin to skin contact ok?

The bump is about 7 inches from the back of my knee on my inner thigh. When I look at it from the side, it appears to be raised as if it was a mosquito bite, but the coloring around the outside of the small dark red center appears to not be all uniformly pink, if that makes sense. It is about a millimeter in diameter. I am unsure if it is one bump with redness around it, or just a cluster of very very tiny bumps.

I had protected sex twice 8 days ago. I have not had any herpes symptoms on my genitals, though I worry that this bump could be the first symptom.

What do you think?

The brand you will indicate should be available for online shopping, as I'm in Europe.

After research on the net and Yahoo questions, and on the basis of the valuable feedback I got from you, the best compromise of price, percentage of elemental calcium, and absorption seems to be calcium citrate (against orotate and ascorbate, too expensive). I read good things about amino acid chelates too. How do you rate these? Are they worth the extra money?

My bone density is terribly low (65% of my age class, I'm a 40 y old male), and I'm already having a small fracture on the "plateau tibial" that's lingering. So I'm tempted by exceeding the recommended dosage (on which, by the way, my doctors don't seem to agree, ranging between 1 to 2 grams a day). Would increasing the dosage speed up the reconstruction and my overall density? What are the risks of taking too much calcium? Or would the extra calcium just be eliminated?

At the moment I take 1g of calcium carbonate in the morning, 1g in the

I recently came down with PVC's (Premature Ventricular Contractions), which means my heart skips beats every now and then. This happens off and on throughout the day and is especially prominent at night. Also, it is accompanyied by an abnormally fast heartbeat (around 90 beats per minute while resting)--this typically lasts all day, even when I wake up in the morning. It feels uncomfortable at times and I wanted to know if this is life threatening. Does anyone else here have this?

BTW...I'm a male and only 21 years old.

I have asthma and i have an undiagnosed chest infection the last couple of weeks i havent been to a doctor because i havent had the time but i am going tommorow. I cant stop coughing and i am very wheezy what could happen if you dont do anything about a chest infection and just leave it?

Okay, I have it set on my mind that I suffer from insomnia because I can't sleep at nighttime, and i've tried almost everything.

But in the mornings, the less sleep I get...the more awake I feel the next day.

And the more sleep I get, the more tired I am when I wake up.

Does anyone know how to explain this?

I am 16 years old and weigh around 118. I eat all the time and don't gain any weight. I passout about once every semester. My heart sometimes races when I am not even doing anything (like going to sleep). I day dream a lot during school and have a hard time concentrating and always procrastinate. I do have anxiety problems and have noticing more and more headaches than before I started passing out. I do eat junk food during snacks and sometimes fruit. For meals I eat pretty healthy (spaghetti, meat, etc...). People always say I am really skinny, but I eat more than them. Do I have low blood sugar and what other symptoms or ways would I know?

my mother underwent a double masectomy and had the lymphnodes on her right side removed. the cemotherapy and radiation burnt her skin badly. when she began treatment for reconstruction they implanted bladders in her chest to slowly streatch the skin and of course it was very umcomfortable even painful. she has had trouble lifting her arms above her head and moving heavier objects around the house. will that problem get better, worse or stay the same after her surgey? I know it is impossible to say for sure, but anything you have to say would be appreciated, hopefully from those of you who have experience with this subject.
