    Coughing judgment at the gym (or any public space)

    first of all, i have to say i think you handled the situation very well, erock!! i would have been intimidated and very upset by such a rude and confrontational person. he definitely was out of line to comment that he didn't feel better after your explanation. he easily could have removed...

    Sinus surgery?

    i had a sinus surgery when i was first diagnosed, and no follow-up was done so a scar formed, blocking the airway of my left nostril. being a kid i thought it was polyps that must have grown back. alas, it was a scar, and i had to have a second surgery several years later to remove the scar...

    Best birth control?

    i would say condoms, right off the bat. however i've also tried the ring, and i found it especially convenient. i dunno what kind of insurance coverage you've got, so look into that. definitely do your research and talk with your doctors so you can get an educated opinion, particularly...

    Feel Like He's Killing Himself- Please Please Help

    i imagine he's probably at least a little depressed. he obviously has got a lot on his plate, and that can be overwhelming for anyone. you mention his family makes comments that he'll die if he doesn't take better care of himself, which is so far from helpful. i'm sure he's well aware of living...
