What causes leg and ankle swelling?

Dear Dr. Donohue: My legs, ankles and feet get really swollen, and I mean really. During the day, if I slip my shoes off, I can't get them back on. What can I do to take down the swelling? I'm not on any medicine, and my health is good. I haven't seen a doctor in quite a while.

Weight no deterrent in search for love

Dear Abby: I'm 32 and a "large girl." I am also intelligent, witty and fun to be around. I make friends wherever I go. The problem is my mother - who is also big - keeps telling me that heavy women are not desirable and we must "settle" when it comes to choosing a mate.

'Prolapse' means an organ has fallen

Dear Dr. Donohue: I recently developed a prolapsed bladder. While I know it is not life-threatening, I want to take care of it ASAP. I am 74 and very active. My gynecologist wants me to do Kegel exercises and be fitted with a pessary. He doesn't want to do surgery. I would like the surger…

Bronchiectasis is a cough that won't stop

Dear Dr. Donohue: For two years, I had a cough that was constant. I didn't feel all that sick, and I saw a number of doctors without getting an answer. I also tried numerous medicines, without any relief. I just changed doctors, and the new doctor started from square one with a chest X-ra…

Dear Suzy: In a column on apple cider vinegar, you stated that "heartburn and reflux can sometimes be related to insufficient levels of stomach acid, not high levels as many of you who take acid blockers assume." Really? I've been on Omeprazole for years for heartburn. My doctor says you'…

Art of letter-writing suffers neglect in age of the Internet

Dear Abby: Please don't think I'm stupid for asking this, but I need some help. The practice of letter-writing appears to be a dying form because of e-mail and texting - which I'm good at. But when I receive a nice gift, I know the proper way to acknowledge it is to write a thank-you letter.

Herpes diagnosis doesn't mean life is over

Dear Dr. Donohue: I am a 32-year-old woman who just learned that she has genital herpes. As I understand it, this means I should not have sex and cannot have children. I also understand that there is no treatment and that I'll have it for life. Can you paint a brighter picture for me?
