  • Stomach Flu or Food Poisoning?

    I can't figure it out!

    On Sunday night, my girlfriend went over to her father's house and ate a couple slices of Papa Murphy's pizza that had been sitting out since about noon. It was around 11:00 pm when she ate them. The next morning at around 9:30 am she texted me, complaining of chills, aches, nausea and a headache. To me, it sounded like a bug, but came on in the appropriate time that food poisoning would occur. I also know that some people can experience fever and aches with food poisoning. So, I went over to her house to care for her, wearing a mouth mask most of the time (I can be a little neurotic) and washed and sanitized my hands almost every thirty minutes or more. I also didn't kiss or hug her. However, I did take my mask off a few times while we were in the same room. I sanitized all of her surfaces, bathrooms, railings and places she had been with medical wipes. She had a small bout of vomiting, with diarrhea throughout that day and today is feeling better. I can't tell if it was a bug or food illness. It's important to me, seeing as I am very...emetophobic...very...and am freaking out wondering if I'll get it or not. I saw her Saturday, but not Sunday, half the day on Monday while I cared for her, and not today. I'm hoping with all of my effort, if she was contagious, I won't get it. But, I was wondering to any of you, what you all think it was, and what my chances are that I will get sick. Thanks so much.

  • Yahoo Mail not working?

    I haven't ever had problems before, but just a few hours ago, it stopped working. By "stopped working" I mean, I can log in and check emails but when I go to write one, it opens up and as soon as I hit "send" the button doesn't click and nothing happens. It doesn't even show that it's loading...If I try to move the email to drafts, it wont let me do that either...anyone know what's up and or how to fix it?

  • Resume For New Models?

    Hi. I am a new model and I need a resume, obviously. I have very little experience but so far I have done.

    One photoshoot with- Unimportant-reputable

    Audition for IMTA- made cut

    Countless volunteer work

    Acting in church plays when younger

    Musician, writer of both novels and lyrics. Been in a band for 10 years.

    Given this information, how should I format my resume to make it look as good and professional as possible?

    Should I add my height, weight, eye color?

    Talk about my strength in leadership, as well as working well under pressure?

    What I am asking is, how should it be formatted and what other things should be listed to fill out my resume, given my lack of experience?

    Thank you so much! I've looked everywhere online but I'm not getting the answers I'm looking for.

  • One Year Anniversary?

    Okay, so I feel slightly bad for asking strangers this question, but I assure you, it isn't because I don't know my girlfriend. I know her very well and I know what she likes but I'm torn and was wondering what the opinion of others was.

    One year is not a lot of time to be with someone, this I know. But, I love this woman more than I can describe and I want to get her a gift that comes close to showing her that. Usually, we always make our gifts for one another. We prefer that of a hand made gift rather than a purchased one but for this occasion I want to do something different. I have been wanting to get her a piece of jewelry for a long time but really, I only know alternative pieces rather than what she owns (all of which have been bought from Tiffany and Co.) and God knows I don't have that kind of budget....unfortunately...I know my lady will not care what I get her or if I get her anything at all, so this isn't a matter of the flashiest gift, but rather the most meaningful.

    I have been thinking about a ring for a long time but am so afraid she would think I was proposing and freak out, good or bad. It isn't that I wouldn't want to ask her that....just not now. We have tons more time before that event. So, then I started leaning more toward a bracelet, a charm bracelet but that just seems too cliche. I guess maybe if anyone has other ideas, things they've done or thought about doing? I just want to give her something that tells her that I am hers for as long as she'll have me. Sappy stuff like that (I mean that sappy stuff, but that doesn't mean it isn't sappy) Thank you in advance!

  • Where can I find oak galls?

    I've looked online and can't find anything. I'd like to know where to purchase oak galls, either from a store or online it doesn't matter. It's for a Christmas gift. I'm getting them so my friend and I can make real, old school ink. The cool thing about oak gall ink, is that it darkens over time; instead of fading from the paper. Thanks a bundle!

  • How can I avoid Post Nasal Drip?

    I am experiencing a minor a cold at the moment and although am not in terrible condition, still find my symptoms to be annoying. My left nostril is stuffed and has been on and off since yesterday evening. I was wondering if for Post Nasal, you had to have both nostrils stuffed, or can it develop in the state I am in now? The reason for my question is simply that Post Nasal is awful and would love tips of ways I can avoid it. For instance, if I sleep elevated? Thanks so much.

  • Why are people skeptical of the flu shot?

    I've always wondered why people seem so hesitant to receive the annual flu shot. I am not sure if I had ever had one and have recently been thinking of getting it but so many people advise me not to. A lot of them say that after they got the vaccination, they ended up getting the flu. Which to me sounds like coincidence because I know that the virus in the vaccination is dead and can in no way cause the actual virus. It's funny because million of people get shots containing various things to prevent them from developing an illness and they never question that they might get it but as soon as flu season comes around, so many refuse to get the flu shot. I ask this because I am one of these people. I've been vaccinated against all the proper things but still, I refuse the flu shot...I am convinced I'll get the flu. Tell me please, your experience after receiving this vaccination.

    Were your after shot symptoms normal? (redness, swelling, slight fever, achy, fatigue) This can last for up to two days I believe.

    Or, did you experience the flu afterward? Do you think it was from the vaccination or perhaps that you had received the vaccination too late?

    Sorry for all these questions, but I'd like a little information on personal experience before I decide to get it. I am asthmatic and feel this would be the best choice, even though for some strange reason I feel like it will only get me sick.

    Thanks so much.

  • What do you do for stress and anxiety?

    I have been to the doctor and she told me to see a therapist for my anxiety and phobias. At the moment, I cannot due to money issues. I have anxiety attacks almost weekly. It makes me nauseous, shaky, and cold and just plain sucks. The next day I feel bad too because it is such a drain on my body. I have this problem due to my emetophobia. I'm so afraid of getting sick that I've been struggling with anorexia for over half my life. I am only 21 now. I am not under weight and eat regularly but I've messed up my stomach because of it and now have a weak tummy. I was wondering what I could do to lower my stress levels, or maybe rid myself of this irrational fear? Even advice on how to ease my stress and anxiety would be great. Thanks so much.

  • Dysmenorrhea? Yahoo is making me make this question too long.....?

    I suffer from dysmenorrhea, throughout the years it has gotten better and I've tried countless things to make the pain bearable (by the way, dysmenorrhea is severe uterine cramping during menstruation) . I've changed my diet, exercised, increased water intake, put on weight, put off weight and what is strange is that nothing really has too much of a difference. Eating better I'd say was the only thing, but I don't eat that bad when I am not eating super healthy. I've gone to my doctor, she really didn't say much. I wanted to know what are things you do to help relieve pain, both naturally or with pharmaceuticals, or even exercises that might help. I'd like to know some things I can change in my life that might effect my periods for the better. I am not on birth control and really don't want to be. I'd rather change my life than swallow yet another pill...that I have no need for.

    Right now I am using Ibuprofen, heating pad, peppermint tea and a couple aroma therapy blends. I usually get relief from Ibuprofen but I want to get my body in a place where it doesn't need pills. All natural things I guess is my goal. Thanks so much.

  • Sorry for TMI. I have diarrhea?

    I do have a sensitive stomach and today my room mate made chili with jalapeños. We all ate it but now I have the shits. I was wondering if this could be the reason. I am about to start my period so it could be that too but I was wondering if the chili is what did it. And now that I read this I feel like it might be obvious, however, I've had his chili before and didn't have any issues. I'm kind of scared, mostly because I have high anxiety about getting sick. I feel pretty much fine, a little panicy but otherwise fine aside from the diarrhea...

  • How long does it generally take for a music video to be released?

    I am waiting for a music video to come out. The filming for it took place over two months ago. I am in it and know it wasn't that complex but it's taking forever to come out. I know it probably varies from song and artist, but generally, how long does it take for a music video to be released after it's been shot?

I have also done the vinegar and salt soak which worked the best. But the itching is driving me nuts!! How log will this last with proper care? Is there anything I can do to relieve the itching? I can't even sleep it's so bad.

  • Can I ask for a prescription change?

    I got diagnosed with an infection and the oral treatment, although cleaner, has some pretty harsh side effects. I am uncomfortable trying them. There a second treatment option and would much rather use it. If I called my doctor, am I able to ask for the second treatment option because I don't feel comfortable with the first option? Will they give me what I feel comfortable taking? I am worried they will be frustrated or will refuse. I do not know why I feel like this. I have had to go in to the doctors twice in the last two days. I feel bad for calling but I really would rather have the second treatment option.
