Hi folks, during a trip earlier in the year, my wife got diarrhoea (the runs, may have the spelling wrong). We were in a very small town council caravan park (no after hours staff on site) and everything was closed at night except for a servo, luckily a lovely young UK backpacker working there had s...

Used to feel bad for people with this problem but it will never happen to me right? Now it's uncomfortable to sit, stand and walk. Also the indignity of having to wear a sanitary pad for 2 weeks but the worst of it was the Doc put his finger where the sun don't shine. Don't like this getting old caper someti...

I've had a cough for 10 weeks now, I've heard it called the 3 month cough, but I know of at least one poor lady who has had it 5 months. You can catch it from grandchildren, and Dr's treatment with antibiotics makes no difference. Have met several who say they have coughed for 5 or 6 weeks, but so far hav...

I take after my father as his teeth break all the time, and they look horrible, all jaggered and sharp. He's been to the dentist and they said there fine Now my teeth are brittle and break easily, so I have quite a few fillings, but at least they still look fine. I haven't had a problem with my teeth for a whil...

I saw a US medical show today that said there was a big rise in STD's in Seniors, particularly menopausal women. Apparently the lack of fear of becoming pregnant is making some senior women take more risks, but not taking precautions for STD's. Usually what happens in the US is a mirror of what is happen...
