They told her that her blood counts in her liver were elevated and said that one of the causes of this was either alcoholism or hepatitis, well unfortunately for my mom she doesnt drink alcohol so I was just curious if anybody knew what to expect if you have hepatitis, what are the symptoms and is it curable?

My ex fiance and I had unprotected sex about 18 months ago. We broke up and I ended up getting engaged to another woman. My ex fiance did not have chlamydia but my current fiance found out she has chlamydia and says she has not had sex in over 2 years. Can I give it to one and not the other?

My gf just found out she had chlymidia and we've been together for about 1 year. Neither one of us has been with a person sexually for about 2 years prior to us being together. Can she still contact this from me and would I still have this to transmit?

I have had boughts of chronic sinusitus for many years. I have tried just about everything including turbinate reduction with limited success. I have found that the best medicine is an extremely clean, healthy lifestyle, good diet and good sleep. But I dont always live perfectly. Regardless of what I do I usually still am able to cough small amounts of green or yellow mucous in the morning. My question is two parts.

1) Is it normal to be able to suck small amounts of green mucous out of my sinusus in the morning. (pretty gorss I know)

2) I found when I use a combination of saline spray and topical bacitracin in the morning and night it seems to somewhat stave off any falre ups. Does bacitracin kill or contain sinus infections? can I use it on going without building a tolerance to it like oral antibiotics?

He was in the hospital in May of 2005 and told me that he was positive on my daughters prom day, from then on I was getting tested, and always came up negative. I had tests done every 3 months 4 a year and finally 1 yr. later the test came back positive on 6/5/06. I was devastated!!!! When I approached him with the results he laughed in my face! Of course I had to tell my children, who hated him from day 1 & didn't want us together from jump, but I didn't listen to them, I really loved him with all of my heart & was even willing to do anything 2 b with him, & he turned out 2 b the worst thing that ever happened to me. So far I am healthy enough that I don't have 2 take any medicine 4 it. & then after a while I found out that a lot of people knew that he had it and no one else warned me. Now he is going around screwing other women in the Projects where we live even a woman that has full blown AIDS who is a crackhead whore of the hood who he was with when I first took notice of him.

Vets say that if a dog bit someone (and you're not sure if the dog has rabies or not), it should be quarantined and observed for 10 days. If it becomes sick or ill, then it could be rabid.

My question is: Why would a dog with rabies become ill within days after biting someone? What's happening to it?
