I don't know whats wrong? i couldn't even open medicine bottles (childproof caps)

I've always wonered why people gasp if someone has it, sends them home from school or work and demand they dont return until its passed. Its just red sore eyes right? I know people go to work and school with stomach viruses, bad colds and flu, and Id really rather catch sore eyes.

Okay....a few weeks ago...I had a sore throat that hurt when I swallowed ... *really badly* and I went to a doctor and they took a culture on my throat and said I didn't have Strep Throat. I was so relieved. The doctor said that it MIGHT be the beggining of a virus...but It's okay....at least that's what I think he said. MAIN POINT IS: HE DIDN'T GIVE ME ANY MEDICINE OR ANY FORM OF PRESCRIPTION and it will go away. It did. I was fine for a couple of days, and then it hurt a TINY bit...the doctor said that I should just ELEVATE my head....when i sleep. ... it hurts rarely and not bad at all...just a tiny bit....but I'm worried BECAUSE i heard that UNTREATED THINGS LIKE THAT COULD LEAD TO WORSE COMPLICATIONS. WHAT DO I DO !!!!! omgoshness. : ( THEN....I just went to the bathroom and sort of gagged myself cuz I heard it was healthy to gagg urself cuz it gets rid of the MUCUS...but...WRONG....it hurt and i couldnt stop gagging.then i stopped and it hurts a bit. HELP !!!!!!!!!

We have a 4-month-old baby who is due for his pneumococcal immnuziation, but we're out of the country right now, and won't be back anytime soon. Can someone tell me where I can purchase the pneumococcal vaccine, preferrably online, so that I can take the vaccine to a local hospital and have the pediatrics here inject it for us.

Many thanks!

I had a cartilage operation back in 1978 and also had some ligament damage which was never repaired. This leaves my knee weak when doing exercise etc... I would like to find the best knee brace/support (available online or in the USA). I have tried a few inexpensive ones that slide around or stop blood flow or just don't give much support, can anyone suggest one (no matter the cost)that has worked the best for them.
Thanks...

Can someone tell me what happens to your blood when you are dehydrated. Someone told me that the blood becomes thicker and moves through the body more slowly. Is this true?
