Answers
1)   if she had one, she,s in deep sh.t. she needs a doctor asap. they can kill. - David

2)   Um, they hurt like hell. It's horrible. And every time you go to the washroom it burns like crazy too. She's definitely not overreacting. Seriously I had one like 10 years ago and I still remember how bad it was. - Essie

3)   I got a kidney infection when I was pregnant because I wasn't drinking enough water...and it was beyond excruciating. If your friend truly has a kidney infection, she really is miserable. That was up there with the top pains I've ever had. - HelpIzOnTWay

Question 2
why does my shitsu itch so much?...  He is so cute, but is miserable due to itching all night. He digs at himself all the time. I bath him with oatmeal shampoo, but have not tried conditioner. The vet gives him a shot, but that makes him sick also.

Answers
1)   allergies - ladystang

2)   My dog has the same issue (he's a chihuahua) it's probably allergies. My dog gets a steriod shot too for them but it really seems to help him. He also was on pretezone pills so you could ask your vet about that too. My dogs itching was so bad he actually started to rip his fur out and his skin started to scab, so if your dog is losing fur it could be a thyroid problem. - A

3)   Allergies, fleas or maybe he just has dry skin. If you bath him, try using a moisturizing conditioner after the shampoo. Dogs have skin just like we do. If you wash your skin too much, but never moisturize, your skin would itch a lot too! - Ryan Braden

Question 3
What are the risks of heart disease age 18?...  Im a hyperchondiac/anxiety sufferer and have been getting chest pains for weeks, the doctors have listened to my heart on 3 occasions and said it is fine and i'm healthy but for some reason i have doubts as i wouldn't be getting these chest pains for no reason would i?? I'm also gettin palpitations.

What are the chances of getting heart disease at my age or a heart attack?
- blood pressure is fine
- not overweight
- do no exercise

Answers
1)   same as any age
probably panic attacks
as long as your doctor says fine, either listen to him or see another one. - ladystang

2)   This is anxiety. Anxiety causes chest pains and palpitations, I've had it on and off for years and I'm 33 and still here! - Ellie

3)   Calm down... the chances are so slim it's not worth worrying about. You said you suffer anxiety issues... It is more likely that you are having an anxiety or panic attack.

Do you have an anxiety disorder?

Are you constantly tense, worried, or on edge?
Does your anxiety interfere with your work, school, or family responsibilities?
Are you plagued by fears that you know are irrational, but can’t shake?
Do you believe that something bad will happen if certain things aren’t done a certain way?
Do you avoid everyday situations or activities because they make you anxious?
Do you experience sudden, unexpected attacks of heart-pounding panic?
Do you feel like danger and catastrophe are around every corner?

If you identify with several of the above signs and symptoms, and they just won’t go away, you may be suffering from an anxiety disorder.

Physical symptoms:
Pounding heart
Sweating
Stomach upset or dizziness
Frequent urination or diarrhea
Shortness of breath
Tremors and twitches
Muscle tension
Headaches
Fatigue
Insomnia

You likely aren't feeling your heart palpating... I'd bet it's your chest muscles trembling or twitching...

Symptoms of anxiety attack:

Surge of overwhelming panic
Feeling of losing control or going crazy
Heart palpitations or chest pain
Feeling like you’re going to pass out
Trouble breathing or choking sensation
Hyperventilation
Hot flashes or chills
Trembling or shaking
Nausea or stomach cramps
Feeling detached or unreal

Anxiety attacks usually peak within ten minutes, and they rarely last more than a half hour. But during that short time, the terror can be so severe that you feel as if you’re about to die or totally lose control. The physical symptoms are themselves so frightening that many people believe they’re having a heart attack. After an anxiety attack is over, you may be worried about having another one, particularly in a public place where help isn’t available or you can’t easily escape.

If your stress levels are through the roof, think about how you can bring your life back into balance. There may be responsibilities you can give up, turn down, or delegate to others. If you’re feeling isolated or unsupported, find someone you trust to confide in. Just talking about your worries can make them seem less frightening.

Options for treatment:

Behavioral therapy
Medication
Excercise
Relaxation
Biofeedback
Hypnosis

Practice calming yourself down and thinking positively. You are fine. See a doctor for treatment if the symptoms are interfering with your life. (Sorry, long post.) - Veronica

3)   its nothing to be ashamed of if you are.
even your question is out of order.

see your counselor at school and schedule parent counselor conference about what you can do about it.
They will send you to a specialist to make things easier for you and give you accomodations like extended time and preferential seating in school. - miamilove

Question 5
Vaccine question how..?...  do they work and you actually get the disease?

Answers
1)   No you do not get the disease.
They work by introducing foreign substances (sometimes dead disease cells) into the blood that mimic the way the real diseases appear to your body. This causes the body to have an antibody response when it later encounters the actual disease killing it off before it can get a hold on you. - just me

2)   No. Immunization can be induced, either actively or passively. The aim is to produce antibodies without actually becoming infected with the disease.

Active immunity is induced by injection of an antigen in the form of an inactivated or attenuated (weakened) live organisms or their products. Vaccines trigger the immune system to produce antibodies and a population of primed cells, which can expand rapidly on renewed contact with the antigen and inactivate the invading organism or its' toxin. This would at best give prevention or at least minimization of the disease. You can't treat an established disease like this.

Live attenuated vaccines such as poliomyelitis, measles, mumps and rubella, BCG and yellow fever vaccines, etc contain strains of attenuated live organisms which although non pathogenic, are still capable of producing specific antibodies.

Inactivated vaccines such as peertussis, typhoid and inactivated poliomyelitis vaccines contain heat killed or chemically inactivated organisms.

In passive immunization the appropriate antibody or antitoxin against the invading organism or toxin is injected. - Rhianna

3)   they work by tricking the immune system to attack by "thinking" it is a live virus - many vaccines are made from attenuated or sterilized virus - so you dont get the disease - the nasal flu vaccine and some other vaccines do contain safe tiny amounts of live virus - william
