I have genital herpes and have had for 10 plus years and have only had like 2 real outbreaks since being diagnosed. All of a sudden I have had back to back outbreaks in the last month and have no idea why. My diet, exercise, etc has not changed. I don't have insurance so I can't get to a doctor

I have a Horizon T-101 treadmill. I do interval training and my base speed is 4. I run fast, then set it to go to 4mph, but it won't stay. It will increase on its own to a higher speed. Any ideas how to fix this?

My Chihuahua and Yorkie are both eating Wellness grain free. It helps with ear infections and itchy skin. However, their breath is TERRIBLE on this food!! I am going to switch, but I have no idea what brand. I want a higher quality food still.

My 5 month old has been sleeping from 9:15 pm - 8:30 am in the carseat in her crib at night. Swaddled. She is moving more so I am not comfortable with the carseat anymore. I put her in the crib, wedged between 2 towels, swaddled, and she slept fine the first 2 nights that way but is now waking every hour at night! This is extremely frustrating. I find her desperately trying to get her hands out of the swaddler, but she won't sleep unless swaddled. Help!

My 4 month old all of a sudden is having a hard time napping without a pacifier. SHe used to just suck on it a few minutes, and that was it and she would get into a good sleep. Now she wakes up several times during a nap wanting the pacifier to put her back to sleep. If I leave it in her mouth, it can stay in for the whole nap, and I don't want her becoming dependent on it. Is it normal for the binky to stay in their mouths for the whole nap?

We started potty training just a few days ago and she was doing great! Going pee and poop and getting little marshmallows as a prize. Then she refused to go poop yesterday and held it until she couldn't hold it any longer and pooped in her undies. Now this morning she refuses to use the potty at all when she was using it before. She sits on it for like 2 seconds then says "I'm done". She knows not to go in her undies, and is just holding it, refusing to go on the potty. I am trying not to get frustrated with her because I know too much pressure hurts, but why did she all of a sudden stop? help!

I have treated my dog with Frontline Spray for years and have never found a tick on her. Tonight I found one that was attached. I thought he frontline was supposed to keep ticks from biting?

I cannot find it anywhere, even online

My almost 2 year old daughter is overcoming a cold with bad chest congestion. I noticed last night that her ears had an unusual amount of wax and then tonight they have brown crusty earwax coming out. Is this a symptom of an ear infection? I have read that brown earwax is normal, but it seems like in 24 hrs her ears produced a massive amount of was and now it is brown

My lease came up the end of June 2011, and have been on a month to month. We have moved out of the house, I gave a 30 day notice certified mail so all is good there. However, I cannot get in contact with my landlord to see about paying rent for the remaining 30 days and to do a walk-through to try to get my deposit back. The only address I have for her is at her ex-husbands place of employment, not her residence, and her phone is disconnected. What will happen if I cannot contact her to pay the rent for the remaining 30 days? If there is no lease, am I obligated?

I have a tattoo on my ankle I got about 8 years ago. It is about an inch thick and all black. I have to cover it up with medical tape at work, which is really annoying. I researched laser tattoo removal, way too expensive for me right now! What do you use, like makeup, to cover up your tattoo?

At our home that we are renting, our lease ended 6/30/11. Our landlord offered at the beginning of June to sign a new year lease. We needed to think about it, and have decided to sign another year lease. We have been trying to contact our landlord for the past 2 weeks, with no answer. She finally calls today, on the 1st asking if she can come and get the check. I told her that I needed to see the lease first. She got upset saying that the rent is due on the first, I still told her that I need to see the lease. She is very unstable and you never really know what you are going to get from her. From a legal standpoint, what are my options? Do I have to pay her? Or should I wait for the lease?

I just found some sores on each side of my cats mouth that have black specks all over them. I don't think it is fleas because she isn't scratching, is indoor, and I also treat her monthly with frontline. I am going to take her to the vet, but any ideas what this might be?

I want to take my 15 month old swimming with me in a big pool so that I can get in with her (instead of just her kiddie pool). What is the best thing to help keep her safe? I have heard about swimsuits/wetsuits with flotation devices in them, and toddler lifejackets, but those start at around 2 years old. I will be holding he the whole time, but would like to feel a little more secure with her being in the water with me. Any advice?

My daughter will be 1 in 1.5 weeks. I want to start giving her cow's milk, to help her transition from formula, and from the bottle. Is it ok to start now? What has the transition been like for other mothers? I am already trying to get her to use/like the cup, and she is doing ok.

My daughter is almost 9 months and just recently started throwing tantrums. Tonight she cried all night, unless someone was holding her. I don't want her to learn that crying will get her what she wants so I tried to let her cry it out, but it was unbearable. She isn't teething, and is perfectly healthy, so I think this may be some kind of new tantrum stage. I am a first time mom, so I don't really know when tantrums start. Also, she goes to daycare during the day as I work full time and I wonder if she gets worried that I am going to leave her at night when I put her down. Have any other mom's experienced anything like this?

My baby has been eating rice cereal for about a month now, and within the last few days does not want it now. Any ideas of why she is doing this? She is almost 6 months, is she ready for stage 2 foods?

My 6 month old daughter has been grunting and straining, and crying, acting like she is in pain of some kind. She is not constipated, she has had normal bowel movements. She does not have a fever. Any ideas of what this could be? Has anyone experienced this?

I started my daughter on Rice Cereal a few weeks ago. She is 5.5 months old She eats it twice a day and has been doing great with it. One of her feedings she just has some cereal a couple of hours before bed, and her last bottle for the day. I have been mixing it with about 1.5-2 ounces of formula. Is that enough?

I am typing a resume on Word 2007 and would like it to be single spaced. I have gone into the paragraph formatting and selected Single, but there is still a lot of space between the lines, looks like double to me. I cannot get the lines to be closer together, I have tried the formatting styles as well. Help!
