So, if you have HSV-1 but there is no symptoms present at the time and you share a drink with someone, can that person get it?

I am in a wheelchair and I got a note in the mail saying because I had not been to the doctor in awhile that I am being referred to AARP. Am I being dropped from medicare? Can they do tha because I have not been to the doctor in awhile? If they can I don't think that is right. If your not sick why should a person go to the doctor.

I hadn't had a stomach flu or food poisoning in years, but this year I've had it five times, and this last time my neck hurt through the whole thing, and it lasted a week instead of the couple days it had before. That was a few weeks ago and now I can feel the symptoms coming on again (including the neck pain), and I've already been throwing up for three days. What's wrong with me?

I know the neck pain is indicative of viral meningitis, but it seems unlikely I could be getting it twice. Am I the unluckiest person I know or is there something seriously wrong with me?

I need advice on how to stop smoking cigerettes because I worry every day that the cigerette I am smoking will be the one that causes lung cancer or some other horrible diease. I am a relatively healthy person but I can not seem to stop smoking. I tried going cold turkey and did really well for about two months. I then got a new job where almost every single one of the employees smoke. I am not concerned about weight gain or any of the side effects of stopping if I can find an effective way to stop. Please help me!

I read all the rabies questions on yahoo answers already but i'm still worried about recieving rabies because I saw the cat lick it's paw and I figured that the claws would get soaked in it's salvia, which carried the virus. It doesn't have foam in the mouth and wasn't vicious ( it clawed me because i tried to take back the food i gave it) I'm constantly feeding it so it would stay so I can observe it for rabies symptoms
My health care insurance expired the day I recieved the scratch also
Does anyone know how much a rabies shot is?

READ ALL OF THIS INFORMATION!!!!

I have been smoking for two days now. Tomorrow will be my third day. I'm a light smoker. Four or five cigarettes a day. I don't even fnish them off. When I inhale, I don't go past my mouth. Today, I had moderate to severe chest pain and the pain was still going and a got a little dizzy and I had a hot flash and I felt funny inside. My heart rhythm is funky, too. My heart will be pounding a little fast, and then I hear a small pop and my heart beat gets kind of slow almost like it's struggling to beat. My mom was born with a birth defect of the aorta. They checked me for it and they said I didn't have it. I'm pretty sure my heart isn't struggling to beat. I have frequent chest pain not chronic but a lot and I don't worry about it because I'm too young for these problems. Is this a heart murmur or something else? Throw out your opinion.

Today I discovered 3 small sores on my inner labia. They are white and painful to the touch. I've never had any sores there before. I know that this is a symptom of herpes, but is there anything else that it could also possibly be?? Like something that is NOT a sexually transmitted disease???

Okay, so I have like a tight feeling in my chest and my breathing like... wheezes. My chest kinda feels like it needs to "pop?" and when I run sometimes I lose my breath really bad. But when I am breathing it makes a faint wheezing sound, but I could just be sitting around and it will get the tight chest and wheezy breathing...
Any doctors in the house?
I'm not even joking... I thought I was gonna die last night.

I have a chronic cough .I have been to the Doctor 3 times ,The emergency room once because my chest hurt so bad and the Dr said it was acute bronchitus.Meanwhile I have already gone through 3 rounds of antibiotics because each time I go thats what they give me. I have to work a full time job and I missed all of last week because I kept coughing and I was very exhausted. I really have 3 questions #1 Tomorrow at work Im scheduled for a flu shot is this ok? #2 Do any professionals out there know anything about this Bronchitus hanging on and on like this? lastly Does anyone know of anything that may help ?I will even consider natural cures as antibiotics dont seem to help that much. I do seem to get a little better for a while but I never stop coughing and feeling tired.The chest pain has subsided mostly. I guess Im desperate.Maybe somebody knows something. Thankyou all

A staff infection people are referring to as mercer is spreading rapidly around the area in which I live. A school in another city has been shut down after 2 children died from this virus. I work in a pharmacy and have had parents comming in after leaving from days at the hospital with their small children to pick up prescription...and its really scaring me!!! What can I do, besides the obvious, to prevent getting this and bringing it home to me 1 year old?

Any suggestions I may not be thinking of?

My son started out with one spot on his face that kept getting bigger and bigger and then he got another spot a month later.. now he has two or three more spots.. but they're only on his face. We got referred to a dermatologist and she swabbed it but it was mostly just blood that she got out, no pus or anything, but they checked for an infection and said there was none and that his skin would just grow over it. Well, its NOT going away and his skin is NOT growing over it, its getting WORSE! So we went back to the pediatrician and he gave us more bactracin cream but that was it. He said it should be gone by December or else we're going to have to talk surgery to remove all of them and my son will have scars all over his face. I do NOT want him to have surgery... what should I do??? Also, he took an antibiotic for about 3 months and it did absolutely nothing. Thank you for all of your help and please pray for my son, I think it hurts his little face!
