I took my 13 month old to the Emergency room today after she broke out in what seemed to me and Allergic Reaction, HEr doctor told me it was a Viral Rash, and You have to wait and let it run its coarse... But seeing that he was an Emergency room Doctor, and not her normal Doctor (being that it was Sunday) He was in and out before I could even ask or think of any questions... I am 39 weeks Pregnant... Could this "Viral Rash" (which i never heard of before) HArm me or the baby? Is it contagious? Can any one find me information on this condition... so i may know a little more than i found out... Thanks

I've been diagnosed with mono and have an extremely sore throat--sometimes, it's difficult to swallow my own saliva. When can I expect this to disappear?

I recently got a Rapid HIV test and it was negative. I tested because I was worried that I could have gotten it from french kissing a HIV infected person. I have been told you cannot. Why am I still not convinced even after a neg test? Do other people suffer from this? It is driving me crazy and I can't get it out of my head!

Since turning 40 I'm alarmed at how much weight I've put on and it's really hard to lose any. I've also developed high blood pressure so I'm wondering whether one has caused - or contributes to - the other.

My Mom had Cancer and is recovering from a Bone Marrow Transplant. I have some ideas that I want to express on the subject and I wanted to know what others think of visually when they think of cancer.
Such as a pink ribbon for Breast Cancer... but this is not breast cancer so what image in general do you have in your mind when you think of cancer.....

I have a friend who was 55 years old. She died of lung cancer a year ago. During her last days her children did not feed her or give her any fluids. She asked (she was drugged) for something to drink and her daughter brought her ice chips. She wanted something to drink. This always struck me as weird. Hospice was there on and off during those days. They did not feed her... is this normal? To me, I would give anything to a person I cared about... what ever it was.

Vasle vagel reaction? vassle-vulgar????
I know it has a name and idk how to spell it to find help for it.
Here is what happens:
Generaly I am relaxed/laying down, then I try to get up quckly. My head hurts really bad and then everyting keeps getting dark. Normally this darkness is dark brown or black, and it comes in from the sides so that all i can see is in the middle of my vision.
Then I feel like I am going to faint. When I sit down or lay down it goes away quickly, so I can deal with it normally.

my problem today is that I feel like that all of the time and I have a very weird headache. What should I do? what is happening?

HELP???

I am writing a paper and want to know what the public thinks. Could educating people about HIV/AIDS make a difference in the amount of people infected per year? And how many of you if educated about this disease would be more willing to get involved and donate time and money to help spreading education and finding a cure?
