Kind of a stupid way of putting it. Im not sure how to ask. My brother had testicular cancer. Spread I believe. He's receiving chemo treatments now. He had the procedure done.. but I dont know what to expect.. What is the most likely scenario.. Will he die.. eventually can this kill him?.. I obviously dont want that to happen.. but I need to know..

I'm just wondering if I'm allergic to coffee or not. I've read places that people say it could be the caffeine which is affecting you (I don't know how true that is, as I'm very used to consuming large amounts of caffeine) and I've also read that it could be a lactose intolerance problem. As I know I already have the latter, and how I feel when I'm having those problems, it seems very unlikely. I just drank about 5 mouthfuls of coffee. I felt fine for a minute or so, but then I started feeling quite sick. It's been about half an hour now (I tipped the rest of the coffee out) and I'm getting slight stomach cramps, I'm feeling nauseated, and like I'm going to throw up. The first few times I ever drank coffee was when I was about 8 years old, and I felt fine at first, and then sick, much like now. I'm feeling pretty weak and dizzy right now, and just want to lie down. How is it possible to be allergic to coffee? How can you be?

I'm a 17 year old girl. I've never had sex before, but I suffer alot from UTI's. I have been getting UTI's since I was 7. I have a urinary tract infection right now. They gave me Azo (which turns my urine orange-y) and they gave me antibiotics called "cephalexin". The doctors aren't sure which antibiotics to give me because when ever I take one, I feel super sick. I pass out, and throw up, and feel plain icky. They tend to switch several antibiotics because they all make me feel bad. I started that antibiotic today and I already feel sick. Why is that? Is that normal? Should I be concerned? Is it normal to have reoccuring infections?
