I've actually heard people say you should never kiss someone who has gotten cold sores, since the virus never leaves your body, and even when you're "outbreak-free" you can still spread it. Also, it can be spread to the genitals... But I thought cold sores were Herpes Simplex Virus 1 and genital herpes was a different virus, Herpes Simplex Virus 2? Does it just change into another type of virus? So, are people who've gotten cold sores their whole life not supposed to EVER kiss anyone? Never give BJs? I mean, never?

Someone told me that after coughing, your lungs open up even more and you can actually get a bigger deeper hit. Is that true?

My family doctor said my blood sugar was close to the diabetic level and was alarmed about it. I probably should have told her I heard the same thing about 20 years ago but I forgot. A different doctor looked at my blood sugar and said it was on the high end of normal, but it was ok. What should I do? Should I get a third opinion?

I've been told what I experience is an anxiety attack but I'm not so sure because I don't experience worry/stress or any emotion with it. My heart will suddenly speed up like I've just sprinted a mile, and I'm really out of breath and dizzy. Sometimes it will go as quickly as it comes, other times it will last 15 minutes or so. There is no pattern to it, sometimes I'll go months without it or other times I'll have 4 or 5 in a week...

FYI-I'm in shape and exercise every day....sometimes I think my working out hard causes it, though it doesn't always happen after I work out?!

I have a friend who was diagnosed with stage III colon cancer a few months ago. From what I was told, she started out on chemo and it stopped working so they put her on radiation. She told me a couple of weeks ago that it spread to her lymph nodes behind the ear and her chin and they were putting her on chemo. Things don't seem to be adding up when I do my research and she doesn't want to seem to talk about it. Are there any professionals out there or someone who has been thru this who can shed some light? I thought stage III meant that it had ALREADY spread to the lymph nodes and at this stage, surgery should be done along with chemo treatments afterwards. Please advise and thank you.

Very concerned friend

I understand that the tuberculosis test is a test for TB antibodies, using a small amount of TB antigen. My question is, if you get too many TB tests, will your body eventually make antibodies for the antigen, causing a positive test result?

My strictly indoor cat escaped last night to our patio and basically was roaming all over the area for about 8hrs. She is three legged due to the reaction 5 yrs ago to rabies vaccine-had to amputate her leg. So she is not current on vaccines. She was all covered in weeds-I have a feeling she was rolling in a grass. I gave her bath with anti bacterial soap, followed by cat shampoo and isolated her in a separate room. I have 3 more cats who are also not current on vaccines.
On Monday she is going to vet so that I cat get her Revolution for possible fleas and teaks she got.
Should I be worried about anything else? Like viruses ? I looked over the area to see if there are dead mice-nothing. She does not seem to have any scratches-I am worried she might have been with street cats. What else can I do?

I just moved into an apartment on a school campus. The thing is, I've been getting bite marks that resemble mosquito bites eversince I moved in here. I noticed that I only get new bite marks when I get up from bed in the morning. I examined my bed and saw nothing there! Plus I never see or hear any mosquitos in my apartment so I'm wondering why I'm getting these bites on my arms and legs. They itch like crazy! Can anyone help? Will these bite marks scar me? I also live in a tropical climate too.
