I have been experiencing swelling in both my legs and feet for quite some time, which worsened after I was hospitalized for pancreatitis due to alcohol abuse. I have since quit drinking but continue to have swelling issues, numbness in my feet, and pain. My primary care physician has not been helpful, suggesting only to reduce salt intake. What could be causing this swelling and what steps can I take to address it?

I am a school nurse, and this summer, the classrooms in my elementary school switched to whiteboards using dry erase markers. Recently, I've had students and one teacher complain of headaches and allergy-like symptoms when using these markers. Are you aware of anyone and/or schools experiencing similar symptoms? Currently, we are using EXPO dry erase markers. Is there anything you could suggest besides these particular markers that can be used on whiteboards?

A person I care for was drugged and raped, resulting in herpes infection. She has had only two outbreaks on her perineum. I am concerned about catching the virus from her. What are the best preventive measures, including the use of condoms, antiviral medications, and other methods, to avoid transmission, especially considering her asymptomatic state and potential for asymptomatic shedding?
