My ex girlfriend of 3 months found out about 3 weeks ago that she has Herpes Type2. I went down just the other day & got tested & I have type1.
If I tell her, I am afraid that she will blame herself for giving it to me. That is the way she is. Then too, will she wonder if she got it from me. We no longer go together, but we are friends.
Question number two---Should I contact my last ex that I was with for 3 years & tell her to go get tested. I have only been with these two women in 12 years. The previous one that I was with for 3 years had several people that were in to drugs & drinking who she had been in a relationship with for a few years. I am wondering if I contacted it from her. This recent relationship was with a very decent girl who just got out of a 12 years relationship & was only with 3 people in her life time. Those two questions I need answers to. I was told by my doctors nurse that a person with Type one can give it to a person that will have type two.

I recently turned 50 and went to the doctor for a routine physical. I'm a very healthy vegetarian. In fact, my last doctor visit was when I had a routine physical when I turned 45. I had not been to any doctor for anything for the past 5 years. I never get sick and don't take any pills (other than vitamins). I'm told I need a colonoscopy, but I'm skeptical of our medical establishment. I have health insurance, but I still don't think it's necessary for "everyone". I think doctors recommend them for everyone for two reasons: for the money, and so they don't get sued by the lawyers that chase doctors. I don't want to have it, so can anyone give me a good reason not to?

I just had a blood test. The blood test show low WBC (3.7), RBC (3.87) and high Lymph (50.2%). Meanwhile I got a urine test. The urine test show high WBC (73) and high leukocyte esterase 3+. What the results tell me? My doctor left me a phone message said that my test result is normal. But it is not normal from my point of view. I appreciate if anyone could tell me what the possible reason may be for this and what I should do about it. I had taken radiation contrast when I went through a CT scan several years ago. I am worried this is cancer related symptom.

With thanks in advance.

I'm type 2 diabetic, taking insulin. I asked my doctor to switch me off Metformin; because I was having severe intestinal gas.
He switched me to Actos, which has stopped the gas problem.
My blood glucose readings have improved markedly; but I have gained weight rapidly in the elapsed month.
My feeling is that this is due to increased water retention.
Have others experienced similar side-effects?
What did you do about it?

I know I have diabetes, but I haven't experienced the full blast of it. I'm at work now and just a minute ago, I got the shakes, my heart was pounding and I got hot really quick. Is that normal for High or Low sugar? No headaches, blurred vision or anything. I know the last time my sugar got low, it was counted at 40 on the tester, and I had a headache, I was tired and shaking, but I'm sitting here with chinese food and a VAULT Soda. Could it be high blood sugar??

My doctor said I have a problem with low blood sugar. I don't eat a lot of sweets or fruit. Soda may be my weakness. But he gave me insulin anyway, just incase my sugar get's high. And I think I've taken maybe 4 shots for the past couple of months because when I did it on a daily basis like it was prescribed to me, I constantly had low blood sugar levels.

I just need your input. Thanks in Advance.

Is it possible to get one from eating 'dirty' food? Like fruits/veggies that haven't been washed? If not, how else could you get one?

Just curious, thanks. =)
