Okay, so here is the deal. About six months to a year ago, me and a few of my friends were intoxicated on ecatsy... I know... stupid and I realized it afterwards and now, never again, but anyways I made out with this chick and supposedly everyone who has ever kissed her needs to get tested for Hepatitis A because she could have it. (she was my friend, don't think I made out with some random girl) and due to katrina I have like.. zero money. PLEASE HELP! PLEASE I AM ON MY KNEES PLEASE HELP!

I can find no info that Hep A is spread by kissing. The first site I have listed can give you info about all forms of Hepatitis, however, including symptoms and how each is spread. The second link will take you to a page that will ask for details on your location. When you complete that, it should take you to info on the nearest clinic.

Flip the script on her...tell her you are going to kill yourself. Or like everyone else is saying she needs to go to the hospital. On a personal note...I tried to kill myself almost a year a ago. If I was not drunk I probably wouldn't have hurt myself so deeply but I cut my wrist and cut nerves, arteries, etc. I had to have surgery. The medical bills alone is enough to realize ok that was dumb. I almost lost my hand and I only have partial use of my pinky because I cut the Ulnar nerve. What I realized through all of this is I didn't want to die, I just wanted things to get better and they do I promise! I seeked help, got on medication (which I was initially against) but it helped. People love you and you will only leave them in complete and utter pain if you took your own life. (This is to relay to your friend) You only have one life that you know about...so just make the best of it because your time will come. We don't come with a re-do button but we have a chance to make our lives better. Just think if you hit rock bottom the only way to go is up. I wish you all the luck, and love! Take Care.

in the USMC some people would get bored and especially the crew members for our helo's.... well they would have gross out contests one would do something disgusting and the other guy would have to best him....well the worst is when one guy went into the crew's shower poped the cap to the drain and scooped a spoonfull of muck from inside the drain and ate it... one guy even threw up that was watching him do it.  Just the thought of all that buildup of pubes and dirt and greese... :X  I was 20 when i saw it.  I don't do gross really i do alcohol lol i'm the only one to take two tall shots of everclear (190 proof grain liquor that has a warning on it to only use to mix drinks with lol)in a row in all my parties.  I threw up like the exorsist though lol i was 21... ahh memories.

Hah....oook. You're screwed. Take him to the hospital and drop him off there. Call the ER from a pay phone after you drop him off telling them what happened to your friend, except for what you did.\n\nThis is one of the many reasons why I don't drink.\n\nP.S. The funniest part is that you managed to spell everything correctly, while other people take their time typing and still can't spell anything right.

Alicia listen to me. You have to go to the hospital right now. You are not thinking straight at the minute, I know because I've been there myself. \n\nPLEASE, go to the hospital. You need some treatment so that the paracetamol doesn't damage your liver, and then they will get someone to talk to you and arrange some help for you to get through this. You CAN get through this depression, I promise, even though it seems impossible. I'll help you. You've got my e-mail address. Please just go to the hospital now.

there is no rule that says you are not allowed to drink in the military. Why did you have one anyway, knowing you would have a blood test????? :(, yeah it stays in your system until your liver breaks it down and flushes it out. drink heaps of water, should be gone by then . Good luck silly billy.

True Story:   I stayed at home in New Orleans for Hurricane Katrina, had plenty of supplies, food, water, cat food, etc.  There were 6 other people in my apartment building who also stayed.  3 of them were just as prepared as I, the other 3 had decided at the last minute to ride out the storm and thus had very little supplies.  When the flooding began, and we realized we were going to be stuck for a while, the 3 with no supplies immediately ate and drank all they had.  The other 3 kept to themselves and didn't share anything.  I took a hard look at what I had and decided it would be in my best interest to at least appear social, in case things got nasty later (these people were drug addicts with no drugs and becoming irate) so I gave them some of what I had and I pretended it was ALL I had.  I saw how they had been so wasteful with their own stuff.  I hoarded most of my food and water and never let them know just how much I did have.  Two days into the flood, they looted a bed and breakfast down the street, and they looted a pharmacy for drugs.  They shared the food from the B&B with me, because they thought I had shared my last with them.   After a week, I was forcibly evacuated onto a bus.  I carried with me the food I thought would be portable, crackers and tuna fish.  The other people on the bus had been removed from a hospital and hadn't eaten in three days.  I gave them everything I had, walked up and down the bus aisle in the dark, handing out crackers and holding out cans of tuna for people to dip into.  I'll never forget that trip.  So, to answer your question, the idea of charging money never entered my head.  My only concern was how long my supply would last.

you can only try so much before you gotta say to yourself this is her problem(s).  it is hard to see a friend get involved with that kind of shtuff.  it's hard to watch a friend open herself up to even greater potential problems especially under the influence of pot or booze.  gotta pay for it somehow.  it does affect the way you make decisions.  and guys dont really think straight when there is a drunk/high chick passed out somewhere.  try to get her straight before some bad shIt can happen.

Hey there!!\n\nI am a kidney dialysis patient waiting to get on the transplant list. I can hear the desperation in your "voice."  \n\nIn a way she is right, the doctors don't tell us we can't have alcohol.  They don't tell us not to jump off tall buildings, either!!  Most of us know the effects of alcohol and try to avoid it so we can take care of ourselves.  Dialysis clinics preform monthly labs on all of their patients, so odds are the doctors probably knew something about her alcohol use.  Also, I have seen patients that drink so much alcohol that their artificial kidney (in the machine) actually turns yellow.\n\nIt sounds like to me that she's incredibly depressed about something and is using the alcohol for pain control-either physical or mental pain.  Is she hurting physically from the transplant or other physical problem? Now that she has the transplant, is she working?  Does she feel like she has purpose in life beyond the drinking?  Kidney patients can also be alcoholics.\n\nI know it's hard for you to see her like this.  I hope that you will continue to believe in her and stick with her through whatever this is that she's going through.\n\nI am a member of two very good dialysis support groups on YAHOO both of which welcome friends and family members of dialysis patients for questions.  The first one has around 1,000 members.  The second one has about 25 members and has more of a family atmosphere.\nhttp://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/dialysis_support/\nhttp://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/A_dialysis_and_support_group/\n\nPlease feel free to join the groups and ask questins there.  We as a group can give you more information than I as a single person can.  Tell them that CosmicKelly sent ya.\n\nDon't give up,\n\nCosmicKelly :)

Pegasys (Roche Laboratories) will help you, if you do not have any insurance. Go to Pegasys.com and ask. If you ask, you will receive help!! There is no reason to just lay down and die!! Hepatitis C is an awful virus: I have it myself. It also sounds as if you might be depressed; see any health professional.

You obviously have more than a few issues…..Are you that desperate for attention?  You seem pretty young, so here is some advice for you:  No, you should not sleep with your best friend’s boyfriend.  She’s your BEST friend right?  I doubt the guy is your soul mate or anything; he’s just a guy who is paying you some attention.  That may make you feel good now, maybe even good enough to make you do it, but afterwards, you will (or should) feel dirty, and he will most likely treat you like you’re dirty too.  He will never respect you.  Do you really want to be involved with a guy who you have to share?  He won’t be your boyfriend. (You will be alone on Valentine’s Day, Christmas, your birthday, etc.)  You will only have him when your friend is too busy for him. Your friend may or may not find out, but you will know what you did, and that will always weigh on you.  The guy is obviously a cheater, and has probably been around the block a few times.  What if he gives you a disease, like Herpes?  You will have it for THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.   If you think that you like sex now, wait a few years.  It gets a whole lot better.  You don’t want something dumb that you do right now ruining it for you for the rest of your life.  Have some respect for yourself.  Save sex for someone that you love and trust, someone who is concerned with your best interests. I promise you that you will never regret in the long run.  However, if you choose to sleep with him you will regret it, at some point.  Be a good person, stay away from the guy, and tell your friend that she is with a loser, before she gets hurt or catches something from him that ruins her life.  Since you don’t seen to have a whole lot of confidence, you should just concentrate on you for a while.  Stay in school; find out what makes you happy (not what you think makes other people like you), and just try to be a good person.  If you do, you will eventually be truly confident, comfortable, and happy with the person that you are.  You won’t want a loser like this guy anywhere near you, and you will most likely be pursued by some really great guys, because confidence is the most attractive quality that a person can have.

Yes it happened to me. Last year on my birthday I went out with my friends to the usual bar. Immediately upon walking in the door, I was greeted by the owner with a shot in his hand. He tells me Happy Birthday, hands me the shot, I drink it and immediately run out the front door (closer than the bathroom) Everyone came out to see me puking on the sidewalk. I don't even know what the shot was, all I know is it was some kind of tequila. I don't trust him anymore. lol

Do not fear my friend.  There is always a record on the hard drive, but too detailed to explain here.\nTwo suggestions:  1)  Get drunk again, maybe the answer will come to you\n2) call Geek Squad www.geeksquad.com , they will easily assist you\n\nGood luck!

Hep C is not transmitted by drinking from someone's cup, or through bodily fluids.It is rarely transmitted from mother to child (<8%). (I know you didn't ask that; I just had to clarify the misinformation from the last answerer). \nGo to hepatitisneighborhood.com , they have a chat every Tuesday night with a doctor or PA.  You might want to check with a local support group. It was the best thing I ever did. I learned so much about the disease; learned how to advocate for myself and others, and have met many wonderful people. Best wishes to you; you are definitely not alone.

First off don't be discouraged at all of the hateful responses you'll see posted. They just haven't see God's love yet. Pray for them.\n\nAs for me, to make it brief because it's kind of long, I was instantly healed physically from the damage that alcohol abuse done to me. I was never interested in God or the whole "religious" thing until one day I went to my cousins church and they prayed for me and I was delivered in an instant! It was truly a miracle. Ever since then (June 9th, 2002) I haven't had a sip of alcohol and have completely devoted my entire life to serving Him. I cannot fully express the joy I have experienced in these almost four years of walking with Jesus. But I know I still have a lot of work to do for Him.  God Bless You amanda2008 God be with you.

first of all keep your head up.  ive been through homelessness on and off for four years and im finally self-supporting and pretty happy.  i dont know if your situation is drug or alcohol related (as mine was) but the best thing you can do is stay sober, stay positive, and find someone to talk who has been through the same.  i promise you if you make the effort (hard as it may be) you WILL get through this.  tell yourself that when you get low.  keep praying and think about what steps you can take to get back on your feet.  take care of yourself, you will be in my prayers.
