If so, why doesn't every male have it, instead of only some?

I can't breathe out of my left nostril and it has been this way for year. I forget about it, because my right nostril works so well, but I do remember about it time and again and worry. Is this normal, sinuses, even though it is all year round? Is there an easy fix for this?

My boyfriend and I have been together for a little over a month, and sex is probably going to happen in the near future. I want him to get tested before we have sex. It's not that I don't trust him but in his last relationship the girl cheated on him 3 times. I was just tested 3 months ago and I am clean. How do I talk to him about getting tested without offending him or upsetting him?

My hubby has really bad allergic reactions to cats. For the most part we are able to avoid contact with kitties, however, most of our friends own them unfortunately. We'd like to be able to go to our friend's houses more, but when we break down and do this, it ends up getting my husband really sick. He tries taking things like Alavert and Benedryll, but they leaved him doped up and don't seem to help all that much ultimately.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to control/beat the allergy symptoms? (We would prefer a natural or holisitc method as opposed to Rx meds). We hate to continue turning invitations down to people's houses, but at the same time, I can't stand to see my hubby suffer. Help!

I remember hearing something like this, that smokers feel colder than non-smokers, something about that "it thins your blood" or something, I'm not 100% sure.

Does anyone know? Anyone have any scientific details to go along with that? Blood getting thinner sounds a bit strange to me anyhow, would more water add to the blood or something? Sounds silly.

Or is this whole thing just a "wive's tale"?

Im going swimming but ive got eczema. If i put epiderm on before i go swimming, have a quick shower when i get out of pool and go home which will take 5 mins to have a proper shower. Will that affect my skin with leaving it 5 mins to put my other creams on to lock the moisture in the skin.

Thanks. I know this is a bit of a long question but would like any info on swimming with eczema or any other skin conditions.

Any answers from swimmers with eczema would be great.

Thanks again.

It's been like 4 hours since my Ingrown Toenail Surgery, and, stupid me, I removed my bandage, however I put a new one on in under 5 minutes. My mum has gone extactic, saying it has gotten infected and will infect the bone.

Is it really that seriouse, or is there a chance I've gotten away with my stupidity?

of any kind..... im worried that because i feel depressed its putting stress on my body and making it weak.
and i dont look after myself - eat/sleep and all that.
im worried because my close family member died of cancer 2 years ago and im scared it will happen to me and not the others because ill think myself into it, or im not healthy.
but it goes round and round in circles.
can i brake the cycle? do you know how?
anyway what are the chances. no links i cant read it it will make me paranoid.
