I had chicken pox before, but not a full blown case as it was arrested with medicine. That was 11 years ago. Will I get chicken pox or shingles from her?

um the real question is why the 1918 flu only lasted a year? hell europe was devastated by war, famine, political instability, debt, and other diseases, why didnt it continue a couple of more years? I can understand the quarantines, other measures but it just disappeared so quickly. did it suddenly disappear bcuz it was a short-bang type diseases?

I just dont understand that there is so many other illness that there is not a cure for example. I am not sure how to spell it but it is like rumartory arthritias. sorry not perfect with spelling. And there is not a cure what so ever for that and they dont go all out of help with that and that is not something people can help if they get. But for those that contact aids there making a big deal about. That just is not fair. I just dont understand.

I have had nasal congestion since Christmas. every day & every night. Its so ANNOYING! Constantly running. I cant smell things half the time. I have taken DayQuil and all other cold meds. Not coughing or sneezing. Dont have health insurance because of the cost. I know I should probably go to the doctors so please refrain from suggesting it. No headache, pressure but no pain. Pressure in ears too. Should I purchase AMOXICILLIN online? If so, how much should I take?

I've heard that you're only contagious when you first come down with the flu. Is that true? I don't want to spread the nasty bug I've been dealing with.
