i just got checked for std's and everything came back normal/negative. but arent there some std's that you can only get tested for by having your blood tested? i read online that siphilis can only show up in blood screening so im curious.

What is tonan poisoning. I'm a nurse & never heard of it. Is it slang for something or an acronym. I've heard it a few times this week & the only thing I can google is cyanide poisoning. Is it that?

Does anyone who gets tonsil stones know how to keep them from coming back? Or a possible easy way to get them out. I get them quite frequently and I usually have to dig them out with a toothpick, but it always gags me.... its getting old. Can anyone help?

She's had no induction and no-one she works with seems to know what the company procedure is so she went to her GP who has told her she needs to go through the occupational health service. How do you get in contact with them? Have her employers broken any laws or rules by not having a procedure or at least not telling the staff what to do if they get bitten?

Hello,

For the past 2 months I have been having on and off again severe bouts of teeth pain. After 2 months I just couldnt take it anymore and went to the dentist. He told me my wisdom teeth are rotting and that i have an infection in 2 other teeth. I am going on antibiotic tomorrow, however, did I wait too long? Could the infection have already spread to my bloodstream, heart, eyes, brain? For the past 2 days now my right eye (side of the bad tooth) is swollen and I have problems closing the eyelid.

What if the infection spread? Will the antibiotic get wherever it spread? I am panicking over this as I keep reading on the internet that a tooth infection can lead to death. Am i over-reacting or over-paranoid about this?

Should I go to the ER right now? Am I dying?

Thanks,
Adam

Antibiotics are anti-bacterial, not anti-viral and doctors know that full well so why do they keep giving people antibiotics for no reason when they know that they will do more harm than good? Haven't they pledged to do "no harm"?

I feel like ever since I contracted the virus I will never be able to have sex again, or even meet anyone that would want to be with me, people just dont understand herpes and even though we can educate them, they would rather just move on to the next guy. Im a really good looking guy, educated, very intelligent with a lot of talents and goals but I doubt that any of this will help me. Before I got the virus, I already had trouble finding girls because I am extremely shy, now that I am dirty in the eyes of society I find it impossible. I would hate to pass on this virus to anybody else, because I know how much it sucks, so I would like to meet a girl with the virus. I know there are sites out there for this stuff, but they can be pretty expensive, are there any other ways, maybe a free site, anything will help.
