As summarized in FDA's 1998 rule and in the updated professional labeling for aspirin, the 100-plus-year-old drug has been shown to reduce the risk of the following medical problems:

stroke in those who have had a previous stroke or who have had a warning sign called a transient ischemic attack (mini-stroke)
heart attack in those who have had a previous heart attack or experience angina (chest pain)
death or complications from a heart attack if the drug is taken at the first signs of a heart attack
recurrent blockage for those who have had heart bypass surgery or other procedures to clear blocked arteries, such as balloon angioplasty or carotid endarterectomy.

Are you one of the many who take one asprin a day along side the common multi-vitamin?

What is your opinion on asprin and its affects on the heart?

For the last two weeks I feel like I have had pressure on my heart. Sometimes the pain goes to my left shoulder, then down to the hand. My arm aches a lot of the time. The doctor has checked my heart with a stethescope and said it's not beating irregularly. Has anyone else experienced this, if so, what was it? Thank you

my mate has dermatisitis on her head and she often drags a nit comb through her hair to get the loose skin out of it,only thing is,she eats the dry flakes off the nit comb.when i tell her i saw her do it she said she wasnt eating the skin,she was licking the comb to wet it so that it grips the skin.i never see her shake or wipe the comb and its thick in flakes when she licks it.is she ill? what would you do?why does she do this?has anyone ever heard of this before?
i dont think there are nits just lots of dry flakes and some are as big as cornflakes so i would see them drop off the comb but she licks them off!!

So I met this guy I really like, and he recently confided that he has herpes. He controls it pretty well with Valtrex, but condoms are necessary, etc etc etc...

My question is this: Does anyone know how likely herpes transmition is if we use condoms every time, and he takes Valtrex every day (and obviously, no sex if he has an outbreak until it's over)? I have read that Valtrex reduces the transmition rate.

Has anyone had sex with an infected partner and not gotten the disease?

Serious answers only, please.

Is there anybody out there who has ovarian cancer or knows someone who's had it? I am really worried that I may have it and am waiting for an ultrasound. I've done lots of reading about it, but it's mostly textbook type stuff. I'm not looking for a list of symptoms really, but am wondering if anybody can tell me their own story about how they were diagnosed etc. I have been having a lot of severe pelvic pain along with bleeding and I know that I have what might be cysts in my ovaries, but I'm scared that they might be cancerous. Please somebody, if you can share with me I would be most grateful, thank you!!

last year I had heard about melatonin and cleared it with my doctor, she said I could take 3-6 mg daily to help with sleep. it helped tremendously. then about a month ago another physician who saw on my records that I was taking the melatonin said that the melatonin keeps you from making your own if you take it every day. so I stopped it, but I'm back to having trouble sleeping but I'm getting daily sleep - just not enough. I want to figure out as much as I can before I talk to my doctor again about it. any thoughts will be appreciated.

i'm not sure if its some psychic thing that occurs. i get dizzy when i stand up and the only thing that helps is if i fall straight to the ground and recompose myself. I feel like i'm fainting but i'm not. i just have to lay there and then the dizziness goes away and i can stand up. it feels really weird. i don't know why that happens. can anyone explain?

My girlfriend recently told me she has herpes(don't know which one, just herpes)...She's on Valtrex & I'm really ready to take the relationship 2 the next level(and so is she lol) but since she told me that i've had 2 rethink how and if i should go there with her...She told me she has herpes in the genital area but i don't know about the mouth...People have told me if i do it with her, 2 wrap it up of course...But i was wondering even with a condom can she still pass it 2 me lets say in one position more than another...For example if she's on top and she's really "lubricating" as oppose to standard missionary where her fluids wouldn't stream down to my genital area...And what about her breasts...She recently gave birth early this year and had been breastfeeding. Is it possible 2 pass herpes through the nipples? They tell me that it can come through the tiniest breaks in the skin and i figured the nipples...yeah...I'm so confused about this stuff...Jus wanna stay clean but love my girl

For you who have genital herpes for a long time (>7 years), does it get mild, and how less (if any) contagious is it compared to when you just had it?

My stepdad is going through a really hard time. His son has been battling cancer for the past couple years. He can only eat liquid food through feeding tubes and has recently had most of his tongue surgically removed. Yesterday we just learned that the cancer has spread to his liver and lungs and will not be curable. The doctors are saying he has just one year to live. This is devastating news for us all.
How now can I help my stepdad through this? Is there anything I can do? How can I show him my support ?
