Avatar m tn Cleared of warts for about 3months. Dated again and in a new relationship. Had sex once - unprotected. The next day, I had recurrence of warts in an area that causes so much discomfort. Went again to my gynae - applied the same cream I used before, aldara. My concerns: 1) Have I put my bf at risk of getting hpv as well? Is it good to just discontinue the relationship to protect him? Since he hasn't know my condition yet and I'm so afraid to tell him.

All in all, alcohol was messing up my life, even though I only drank on the weekends, yet I had no clue. Alcoholism didn't cross my mind until my family intervened after this last ticket.

If you have one glass of wine your breast milk will not be 12% alcohol like the wine was. It will be about 0.
Avatar f tn t sleep with him that night, I had a bit of alcohol in me and felt a bit pressured to be have sex because we met on Tinder ( I deleted my tinder the next morning due to personal frustration with myself). Anyway, we were having pretty rough sex and the condom broke. He told me the next morning that he pulled out as soon as it broke and that he didn't *** inside of me. However, I am absolutely TERRIFIED of the possibility of catching HIV from him if he happens to be positive.
10626389 tn?1412006663 Hey guys! I'm a senior in college this year and I seem to be struggling with my weight. Ever since I transfered to a further campus, I've slowly started packing on the pounds. I don't have access to home-cooked meals, just what they serve in the dining hall or take out/frozen foods. I've recently stopped drinking soda and cut down on the coffee. I try to stay active sad eat more fruits and veggies. But I still get munchies for junk food.
Avatar n tn Life and health is just too precious to risk throwing it away for one evening of a buzz. If alcohol is necessary for you in order to have fun, you may want to look closely at whether there is a dependency issue or self-esteem issue that makes it hard for to make a safer decision. In my personal experience, my presence drinking coffee has never stopped my friends (and me) from having fun, and people seem to respect me for making the decision to protect my health.
Avatar n tn I'm not really an alcoholic but I have an alcohol related question. I'm a 23 y/o somewhat overweight college student. I drink only about once or twice every 1-2 weeks, but when I do, I drink pretty heavily(usually at least 7 drinks). I notice that on the next day I have a dull soreness in my upper/right abdomen/rib(liver) area. What could cause this? Is this common? Also, am I doing permanant damage to my liver? P.S.
Avatar m tn s in college. In college, people drink. Admittedly he drank a little TOO much at one point, but these things happen. This is not alcoholism. Alcoholism is when you can't go a day without drinking. Quit railing on him for going to the occasional college party.
Avatar m tn From what I have read and from being an alcoholic NO medications are really safe when taken with alcohol. Please confer with your doctor and let him know you are also drinking alcohol with this--he may prescribe something totally different. Until then I would not mix them both. Doctor will know best, though. Sincerely, CML ....and I sincerely hope you will find something to alleviate your pain. Very sorry to hear of your situation.
Avatar m tn But one really bad night can really mess you up. This can include things like alcohol poisoning. One time in college, I drank a fifth of vodka and I was only 140 lbs. I think I'm lucky I didn't die (and I was not alcohol dependent at that time). Just a good example of where you can go over the line.
Avatar n tn But also, it is hard to remain stable when consuming alcohol. I know in college it is hard to say no, but truly that is what needs to be done. The medications are not going to work properly and it will be harder to stay well. I have been in your shoes, away at college surrounded by binge drinking and drugs. I have found that people really do respect you when you tell them you just do not want to drink. If they persist, tell them for medical reasons, you are unable to drink and leave it at that.
Avatar m tn Well, college is over! I understand the party atmosphere, but I think you are at a pivotal point in your life. If you keep doing this on weekends, you could easily damage yourself or open the door to more drinking during the weekdays. Once you're out of the college scene, being drunk becomes less and less attractive to others anyway. I don't know if it's withdrawal, but your body does have to work hard to rid itself of the toxins. I think you are correct about a detox.
Avatar f tn wash their neck rolls every time they spit up or it gets sore and red and stinky, its a hard area to get into cause your trying to hold their neck straight for them, you can also use baby powder on their neck to stop the skin from rubbing and irritating itself... I would also say that you should expect the unexpected, and not be upset if your baby doesn't want to follow a schedule.
Avatar f tn I have heard of similar responses to various forms of alcohol. When I was in college one of my friends could not drink any form of beer without this pain behind her ear and in her jaw. She could drink most hard liquor but in my state in the seventies we had "keggers" on campus and no one really wanted to miss out on those parties. Being from a state where beer, brats & cheese were once almost sacred she did ask her physician.
Avatar f tn I am a female in college who had unprotected vaginal sex at the end of September. I had unprotected sex with this male three times. I do not know his status. He never ejaculated in me. At the beginning of last week I came down with a bad cold and headache that turned into a sinus infection. Do I have HIV?
Avatar f tn I am not too familiar with blood alcohol, but I would think that maybe you could have been dehydrated and that could have caused the reading. Try drinking more water next time.
Avatar n tn So i have PVCs and palpitations every once in awhile, and i've had it checked out, 30 day monitor everything is fine, but i'm 20 years old and a college student, and when i drink my heart rate automatically goes up and stays that way until the next morning, i've gotten used to it but i was wondering if this is damaging my heart, or if it's one of those things that i just have to accept.
Avatar f tn I don't think anything bad is going to happen to you, but definitely do NOT be drinking while taking this medication anymore. I'll tell you something else, alcohol (especially in excess, to the point of intoxication) will exacerbate anxiety terribly. THAT is probably why you are overly anxious, from the alcohol itself. I was never a really big drinker (except in my early twenties, college partying stuff), but I'll tell you...I've all but given it up completely.
Avatar m tn m about to ask is not something I partake in on any kind of regular basis, we just think we are back in college and proceed to act and drink like fools. This trip is usually 5 days and consists of getting up at noon going to the pool and starting with the beer before we eat (extremely stupid I now realize) and basically drink beer all day and most of the night and pretty much only eating dinner.
Avatar n tn Once you find those facts, then compare your college plan with plans offered in the individual market and see how it stalks against them. Let me know if you have more specific questions.
148588 tn?1465778809 There are so many different studies and opinions on this issue, I don't think it will ever be resolved... We all know that study data can be skewed any way one wants to skew it, in order to come up with the preferred results. By the way, the video in the link I posted is exactly the same as the video in the original post.
Avatar m tn s blood alcohol level and the rate of increase in blood alcohol. Consuming a lot of drinks in a short period of time (binging), particularly on an empty stomach, increases risk. After a blackout, a person has no memory of what happened during the period of time that their brain's record button was blocked. Since a blackout occurs when one is highly intoxicated, it often happens when a person is exhibiting poor judgment and diminished impulse control. A lot can happen during a blackout.
Avatar n tn Keeping tabs on my calories with weighing in daily helps me keep myself in check. I like food way too much to just hope for the best :) Good luck, and I hope this is the only time you have to post on here, LOL!
