i have a friend who went to Ecuador and she is really sick now.
she gets spells where she is fine and then all of a sudden she is feeling fine. she thought she had good poisoning but i told her that food poisoning doesn't last for 4 or 5 days. currently she is in montanita, ecuador and she went to a doctor and paid .50 and they gave her 2 shots. my question is what is likely her problem specific to problems in Ecudor? could it be a virus or a disease?

My husband's uncle has this nasty flu that's going around… (late 50's early 60's, but terribly overweight. This is a guy that SERIOUSLY doesn't take care of himself well at all.)

This flu actually shut down 4 wards of a major hospital today because 30 patients and 25 employees all came down with it... (everyone I know is getting the darn thing!!)

Because he's gotten so dehydrated today he's been admitted to the hospital.

He went pretty much straight to ICU, delirious and suffering kidney failure. (They are setting up dialysis for him asap.) His prognosis is apparently not great.

Has anyone ever heard of this? Kidney failure from the flu? Seriously? If you've heard of it do you think his kidneys will recover once the flu is over? He won't need dialysis forever will he?

Thanks for your experience.

This is from the recent article on Yahoo! news. It said that sharing body jewelry can transfer Hep C, and I assume that body jewelry includes ear piercings. Are cases of Hep C being transferred by jewelry common, specifically involving earrings? I don't have my ears pierced; I'm just worried for the welfare of my cousin. :)

The article is here:

Has anyone tried using Cetaphil for lice? http://nuvoforheadlice.com/

Did it work? All I can find on the web is about the ethics of the doctor who did the study.
