health question

My nose is curved, i.e. the partition between the nostrils is curved on one side. Is this rare? Any treatment?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.279-07:00

It causes breathing problems. I have to sleep only on one side to
allow respiration.
It is very common. You can go here to learn more:

That's what called a "deviated septum", and it's not at all that uncommon. Only treatment for that that I'm aware of is surgery, sometimes referred to as "a nose job".

Two cyst's? or a bump under nipples (both on either side)?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.278-07:00

ok i had a ultrasound a month ago and got one checked out (before the other one came) and saw the doctor and all and he said its a hormonell thing and that its fine but then i saw a specilist and he said the same thing so i left it alone but about 2 days ago i got another small one under the other nipple im 13 and are very healthy and i dont think it could be cancer but im a bit concerned please help best answer will be chosen promptly im also a guy so dont go saying its like breasts lol any help appreciated!

Actually, my brother had this exact same thing and the doctor told him it was nothing to worry about also. He was about your age when he found them and they eventually went away. I believe the doctor told him it was hormonal as well. You have already seen two doctors who said it was nothing to worry about. If you are still concerned you could always get another opinion. Honestly though, if it was me (and I worry about EVERYTHING!), I would relax.
Thank you very much for the best answer :) Report It
You shouldn't worry much as the specialist's has physically examined u okayed the scan. With some medication the cysts would subside, if its some hormonal problem. U need to be more observant if there are more cysts developing in one area, next to each other. An enlarged cyst = Tumour, if non malignant, if malignant = Cancer. Take care!
yer thats normal mate... when i was 14 i had the same thing n thought i had cancer lol but doctor sed it was completely normal for boys to have that... all it is, is breast tissue forming due to hormones getting confused and will not get any larger just recied with age. im16 now and i have nothing their anymore....so stop worrying its fine

Medical opinion required please ?

I am 41 year old female, and have always been an early riser. After about two hours of being awake and on my feet, my legs begin to ache and they feel like lead weights. Also my ankles swell up too. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.
There is a condition called venous stasis. This is basically where the little valves in the veins in your legs stop working properly and the blood begins to kind of pool in your lower extremities. It causes pain and swelling. It is usually relieved when you sit down for a while. If you do have this condition, which needs to be confirmed by a physician, there are several treatment options - from wearing a special kind of hosiery all the way to having the veins in your legs replaced with your own properly working veins from some other place in your body. It could also be caused from fluid retention but you need to have this confirmed by a doctor too. There are special medications that can alleviate this fluid retention. I hope you get some help soon because it sounds like you are in considerable pain.
It sounds like you have varicose veins, which aren't always visible. Ankle swelling is usually a sign of fluid retention. Try a mild diuretic like Aquaban, and when you're sitting at home try and put your feet up - if it is fluid retention you should notice that your feet are much less swolen first thing on a morning. You don't say how old you are, but it might be an idea to have a chat with your doctor about it anyway.

H, was wondering if anyone knew a genital wart cream that you dont have to go to the doctors for? I dont know?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.276-07:00

maybee you can get one in superdrugs or boots or something?! I just dont fancy the embarrasment of goin to the doctors and whipping it out if you catch my drift!!!

Thanks
if 6-8 warts, where out of condom coverage, u may used Wartec for ten days and they will all gone. Wartec around USD 63, a substitute for surgery or frozen... Since wartec fight directly to the warts, it clear warts faster, but painful, so so painful,even difficult to walk after the fourth day applying wartec. One more advice, use Aldara to the area where already recovered from Wartec. Aldara is using your own immune system to fight the virus, to kill the virus thoroughly, keep them from comming back. ( if u use Aldara in the first place, more warts would pop out, since the immune system has been trigger, which may scare the hell out of u ). As u know this HPV virus will keep comming back for the rest of your life, fighting the virus with your own immune system would reduce the chance of the warts comming back. Off course nothing guarantee, if ur skin in touch with someone HPV infected, the warts come back to u again.Besides, if u r female, u need to have cervical check every six months, as HPV may change into cervix cancer. hope it's helpful. I 've been surfing around for this information, and this is the essence so far i can provide. one last remainder, bring along your girl friend/wife to the doctor, cause she may have infected without any symptom. To avoid ping pong effect, i mean, if she is not treated, she would pass to u after u recover from warts, which mean ur warts never gone !! Have her to see doctor too and smear check for cervix cancer. The HPV infected person may also have no sign at all, they got infected but no sign the rest of their life. In average the wart showing in genital area 2-8months after the sexual contact.
Sorry, something forget to tell : 1.Wartec is appliable to the warts around the genital area. Aldara is applicable to the whole genital area, so that the warts b killed before it pop out !.2. Condom won't protect u from HPV virus, don't believe in the ad. Report It
What do you expect this cream to do for you? You have to go to the doctor to have genital warts removed, or burned off. They don't go away with cream, and they are not curable.

I have woken this morning to find my right, upper eyelid twitching uncontrollably. Why?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.275-07:00

It stops and starts. Not constant but happening often enough for it to be VERY annoying! so, what has caused this sudden eye twitching on my right side? It has not happened before. Cheers and Have Fun :0)
This REALLY is getting sooooooooo annoying...not a nice sensation!!!
WELL I WAS OUT with you last night having a meal and a couple of romantic drinks, and i did notice you winking at me, now i feel really bad after reading these answers , i guess you dont fancy me then eh ? haha

you will be fine have a cuppa and a hot bath
I get that too. I think it's a combination of nerves and overtiredness.

I remember it being a problem the day I left to start University. I was so excited! and I didn't sleep well

Hate when that happens! I feel for you!
mmm. eye twitches...
they're muscle spasms, like when your muscles grow when your a teen. i don't think its serious, like a nueral problem. (and of course, im, like, a qualified nueral doctor (: )

they go away eventually.
Well you could have gotten something in it. Or just muscle spasms. It should go away eventually. If it is REALLY annoying you and isn't going away, you should go see your doctor about it.

Getting braces 2morrow?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.274-07:00

soo any tips?
i have some questions
1 can i go back to school
2 does it hurt the process of it
and thats all tips plzz
hey, im 14 and have braces.
i got them put on about 1 year ago and boy can i tell you i was scared! i thought that i would look ugly and people wouldnt like me, and its ok to think this at first. but really, its no big deal. i havent lost my popularity at all! there are so many kids these days with braces, and alot with bad teeth, so for one, be grateful you are getting them because im sure there are kids out there who want them.
yes you can go back to school, honestly dont worry about it. if anyone pays you out, just say "well at least i can afford them!" and also be confident about them because that way people will admire you for it.
to be honest, it does hurt the tinest bit. lets put it this way; its uncomfortable but not painful. they will feel a bit weird at first, but you will get used to them and it fixes your teeth very quickly too.

just imagin how good you will look once you get them off!

good luck =]
No lies. Getting them on was fine (just tasted gross) Getting them tightened Hurt like hell. the first week i woke up crying because f the pain and i have a high pain thresh hole. But that also depends on how bad your teeth are as mine had to be turned around and pulled in alot. Get a rubber toy (baby toy) to choo while you sleep the presure helps alot. your dentist will tell you alot of information and tips, follow them.
Keep aspirin or tylenol around. You probably can't just carry such things at school, but see what you can do, check at the nurse's office, etc. cause it may not hurt much to have them put on, but every time you go for a tightening, they will. And you're gonna want some pain meds. every four hours, almost every time.

And, yeah, you'll go back to school
when i got braces when i was younger, as far as i remember it didnt hurt. maybe feel alittle uncomfortable at first meaning that ur not used to having them in ur mouth and it takes time to get used to BUT AS FAR AS PAIN OR ANYTHING IT DOES NOT HURT .
hey... i have braces. i had them on since i was 12. it hurts when the dentist tries to adjust it, but u're gonna get used to the pain after a few days. You just have to pray to God. God bless!
Yes of course you can go back to school and during the process it will not hurt but before you go eat as much as possible because about an hour or 2 they will hurt so good luck

Yes, it could because of the hormones in the medication but I would recommend checking with your doctor as well to see what they say. In the mean time here's the link to a site that could be of even more help:

How common?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.271-07:00

is it to get a negative test result using a home pregnancy test? I took one earlier this after noon only to get a negative result.

My period is about 12 days late, my nipples are sore, I felt a bit sick last week like I was getting the flu, but it would come and go, but I also just got over a cold, does having a cold affect missing your period or give you any other pregnancy like symptoms?

I know sometimes it's better to take the test in the morning with your first pee, but I'm just wondering how common it is to get negative results with home pregnancy test...

Also, is having a constant slight headache a symptom of pregnancy?

I've done a lot of research on the internet about a lot of this stuff, but I'm just wondering about some real stories.

Thanks in advance! =]
All tests everywhere cannot and never will be 100% accurate. Most pregnancy tests are over 90% accurate. Generally the cheaper pregnancy tests are less accurate than expensive ones but this is only in the realms of a few percent.

It also depends when you take the pregnancy test. Hcg is not detectable in the urine until several weeks after implantation. If you had unprotected sex less than 2-3weeks ago you'll need to wait until 3 weeks has passed and then repeat the test.

Otherwise, the most accurate pregnancy tests can be done at your doctors or a sexual health clinic.

You cant rely on 'symptoms' of pregnancy to confirm pregnancy as everyone is different everyone experiences different sensations, and they are always vague signs which could be down to anything including stress.

How long would it take for a cut that is about the size of a pea to heal?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.270-07:00

2-3 days or there abouts I'd say 5 days MAX...if you don't aggrivate it and its not infected.
It would depend on how deep, but if its the size of a pea 360 then I would say about a month and a half. It also depends on the person 2. I could heal faster than u. Well I guess I didn't really help at all huh?
Give it about two weeks for it to heal so that new skin is there and pinkish.

Keep it clean so that infection doesn't set in.

Will i get taller?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.269-07:00

I turned 17 on january, in my junior year. i am between 5'4" and 5'5" but i just say 5'5" to make myself feel taller =). my mom is about 5'4" or 3" and my dad is 5'5" or 6".
from what i hear my mom is pretty normal and my dad is short for their respective genders, but i just want to know if there is any chance i will hit at least 5'7". i dont think ive hit a growth spurt because i havent noticed anything drastic and my uncle said he grew like crazy in college.
does my inherited genetics say i reach my peak or can it just mean im a late bloomer? god i hope im just late...
Hi, I have the same problem, I think I am too short to I'm 18 and 5'11. Don't get me wrong I'm happy with my height but I would like to reach 6'. I get told that I may still grow, its probably the same for you, you may have a growth spurt. Exercise is a good idea, I do stretching exercises every night, you should try it. Men can keep on growing until about 21 however everyone is different, unique. The fact that your parents are small does stack the odds against you however you may grow taller, but try not to worry, get plenty of sleep and maintain good posture and do stretching exercise, you will find loads on line. Good luck
there are a few ways to help increase ur height the main ones are drink milk and sleep well.

im in a similar situation im 17 and my parents are shorter then 5'5 but im 5'10 and want to reach 6' by the time im 21.
dw like me uve got another 4 years left of growth
don't worry,you will really have a growth spurt after this.and if you want to achieve more height,then you can play games like basketball.you can also do skipping and jumping up and down in one spot,i am not joking.you may think that they are games played by girls,but they have a very useful role in shaping a person's height and weight.cricket,baseball,football won't help much in this aspect i am sorry to say.you can play shuttle.drink lots of water and try to each food that is rich in vitamins.ask your mother.or search in the internet for foods that have a rich vitamin content and that will help in the growth of a person.happy growing!!!

How come I have nightmares often?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.268-07:00

I don't know why but I have nightmares every other night. Nothing really bad has ever happened to me but I can't seem to stop having nightmares. There is one about the end of the world that I have often that makes me wake up in a cold sweat. Is this a disorder, can I have medication for this, or can I just stop these nightmares by myself?
Nightmares are just images and things mixed together in your mind and projected while you sleep. Also, things you see, hear, or smell while you sleep or right before you go to sleep can influence what you dream about. If you maybe light some nice smelling candle or spray a nice air freshener before you go to bed it will help. You can even try watching a funny movie or listening to peaceful music. But, sometimes people have bad dreams and it just cant be helped. So, I hope that I helped in some way. GOOD LUCK!
you are having nightmares becuase soemthing happend to you a dramatic change that did tramatize you even if you dont realize it its something that happend and was outta your control so that is how you react to it and boom you ahve nightmares they will go away eventually get out more and have fun!
they could be caused by meds you are already on---or your dream can mean something traumatic that just happened in your life....get a psychiatrist and they will help you........lot of good sleep meds out there that you won't remember a thiing when you wake up......see a psych doc.
I'm 27, and it has taken a long time to become aware of nightmares. Try to train yourself to get out of them. Be aware that it is not real, and nothing can cause harm or pain. If you are still in it, confront whatever is scaring you, and it will go away.

Low self esteem, body image and a new body... please help! pics included.?

http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s93/_...
And these are some photos of my what I want to look like (I picked photos that best showed her figure)...
http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/entertainme...
http://peet.files.wordpress.com/2007/06/...
http://cache.defamer.com/assets/resource... (Katherine is on the right in this photo)

I love that she's still got a real body in Hollywood rather than being a stick thin size 0. I know she's a US4/6 (she said it in an interview). I’m a US size 7/8. But Katie is heaps taller than me, she's about 170cm and I'm about 162cm.

Can anyone tell me how I can get to her size (US4/6)? Also, how can I achieve a toned and sculpted body like hers but still have that womanly shape? I don’t want to become a total stick insect.
if you have low self esteem then be warned that perhaps it is not because of your perceived body flaws, but because of something deeper so loosing weight might not solve the problem. However you seem to have a good head on your shoulders anyway. I think that it would take you about 6 months to get a figure close to that which is not that long really. A half an hour of cardio paired with a half an hour of strength training 5 days per week should do it. Try jogging for cardio and then maybe get a strength training for women book at the book store or google strength training for women. Good luck :)
I know you have very admirable reasons to do this, but you are awfully cute like you are.
Omg okay first off stop it you look fine try being a 300 Pound 17 year old then cry. Your beautiful the Hollywood body isn't as great as people claim
STOP POSTING THIS BLOODY QUESTION!!! You have a really good body and you shouldnt be worried. Go out and have fun girl, Strut your stuff!!!!!
i went on the nutria system diet worked great for me. i went from 155pounds to 115 pounds in three months.
DUDE THEIRS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU IN MY OPINION YOU LOOK BETTER THAN THE HOLLYWOOD PICK AND I THINK YOU CUTE
Well first of all I must say that you look fine. Don't over concern your self with losing weight. Its not a good idea. Try to always stay positive with yourself and compliment what you like about your body. If you really want to get toned I would recommend getting a trainer. You need to get a good muscle toning work out a long with a cardio workout. Doing different muscles everyday is the best way to go about this. Usually those type of videos don't do much and using the bike alone isn't best. You should invest in a gym membership instead. Also make sure your on a healthy diet with plenty of grains and vegetables. If you work on toning your body you will have a sculpted body. Usually people who are stick skinny starve themselves. Working out is what is really going to help you reach your goal.
Hum. Hum...I was thinking to try to convince you not to change but that will not work would it? It would not do me much good to tell you that you are very pretty. So, maybe you should consult a nutritionist. They have good information. Talk to a doctor or someone who is an expert on exercise. There is always surgery but I saw on TV this girl who was like you...she was pretty but went for surgery. She lost a lot of weight in her hips but also went from a C to an A in the chest. You have to be very careful with your body you know. Your DNA and something called a fat thermastat in your brain tries to keep your body at a certain level. So just try to get with people that know a lot about it before you do too much on your own. You dont' want to hurt your body. Also, you might want to check out to see if you have something called body dismorphic disorder. That is when a person, usually a women, is beautiful but they do not see themselves that way. No matter what they do they are never satisfied with how they look. BDD, I believe is a psychological and phisiological condition. Just something to think about. But my best advice is just to try to be happy with who you are because even beautiful women don't stay that way very long. Neither do us men.
You are cute the way you are but if you want to lose weight hit the gym. Instead of doing bike try the eliptical or the treadmill. You will burn more calories. try to eat healthy no junk food or sugars. Try doing some sit ups to get a little toned don't over do it. Just watch your diet and make sure you jog helps burn lots of calories. My ex use to go to classes called cardio kickboxing she thined out and got a lil more toned when she did it. That could get expensive though. Anyways hope you acheive your goal of a size 4/6.
keep working out and do some focus on a bit of strength training....muscle tone makes for a sexy figure. Do not over do it or you will start to flatten out up top...
Self esteem, however, comes from inside and not from looking good. You need to find the good things about yourself and further develop them, confront what you find to be your weaknesses and find ways to turn them around. Having a nice physique will turn heads, but if you feel like an old hat in an old box, getting a new box ( a svelte physiue) without attempting to make yourself a new hat is just an old hat in a new box....not much point in that, is there?
You have Six Degrees of self:
Mental
Moral
Emotional
Ethical
Spiritual
Physical
They are all tied to one another...work on the first five while you develop the sixth and you will have a New hat in a New box....and your self esteem will be raised enough to make you truly beautiful.
......if you end up looking like the woman in the photo of the middle link, I volunteer to be your hand.....
...sorry, had to say it.

Um pimple + vagina?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.266-07:00

ok so i found this really big pimple or somthing its red in the middle and pink im 14 im not sexualy active what is this? i poped it clear stuff came out and barley and blood
is it a blood blister?
I could be just a big pimple? Sometimes if jeans or pants are too tight a pimple can develop because heat and moisture gets trapped under the clothing and can't circulate. Bathing the area every night will help stop them from developing.
But it sounds like you don't think it is.
The other side to this is a genital herpes sore. If you have been in contact with an infected person who is in the middle of an outbreak, you are at risk. There is a blood test that you can get that will determine if you are infected and now there is a course of treatment of pills to take for it.
It could be an ingrown hair if it is in that region. Just put a dab on antibiotic ointment on it and it should be okay. If it does not heal or still leaks fluid after a few days, be sure to tell your Mom and see what she thinks.
I think that's pretty normal especially for your age, but if you want to make sure you could ask a doctor.
pimples happen there too. nothing to worry about.
that can happen

Planned Parenthood and Birth Control?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.265-07:00

Hi, I went to planned parenthood to get a pap test done in 10/7. At the time they asked if I wanted birthcontrol pills and I told them no. I would like to get on birth control now. Will I have to have another exam? Oh, and I am moving to another state, will they be able to transfer my records to the PPH near me?
A pap is only needed once a year, but they will likely require a pregnancy test. They will give you enough to get to October when your pap is due/

And, yes, they will transfer your record and prescription. In 2001, I moved from Washington State to New York State and did exactly that.
Having been to a PPH before I can tell you that they will give you any type of birth control that you need, they will actually just educate you on the proper way to use it/let you know the differences of the birth control, and give you information about what changes to expect. Aside from the educating they might take a pregnancy test just to make sure you're not pregnant. Let them know you're moving and they can transfer your file.
They might not make you have another pap but they will require you to have an office visit. I used to get bc there and when I wanted to switch to the patch they made me come in for an office visit.

I'm sure they can move your records to another office.
yeah, they can help you
but if not birth control is worth it

Oatmeal oranges egg whites and milk are fat burning foods.

Eat oatmeal in the morning with one or 2 egg whites. I boil the eggs and just eat the whites but you can do so as you like. And a glass of milk. It doesnt have to be a big glass if you dont like to drink straight milk. I put extra in my oatmeal.

Try snacking on fruits and veggies. For lunch which is my big meal because i dont like to eat a lot closer to bedtime to give my body more time to burn it off. I eat chicken on the grill. With my favorite bbq sauce or some type of flavoring. I change it up now with fish too. You can do pork once in a while as well. Grill or sometimes you can bake but dont fry. Try to avoid red meats most of the time. For a side do with your favorite veggies try corn on the cob. You can do potatoes but not every day.

Snack again with fruit veggies. Also try yogurt i eat Activia it really help regulate you. Try to have an orange a day as well.

For dinner go with a salad with low fat dressing. You can buy grilled chicken slices or tuna if you want to spice it up.

Note for cravings. I keep fat free pudding in the house chocholate and vanilla so when i crave something sweet its there. Also i use natural pop corn it comes with butter and believe me it tastes the same. But keep these snacks close and easy. For example i love fresh carotts but i get lazy and dont want to peel them so i grab something easier. I now cut and peel them and put them in baggies in my fridge so i can just grab them and eat.

this is my diet hopefully it'll help you too. Also try doing some cardio like just walking for a half hour a day.
1. dont bank on the words 'fast' 'quick'....to stay safe,you shoudnt lose beyond 3 pounds of fat per week

2. start brisk walking 1-2 hrs a day

3. drink only water,lowfat milk and lots of green tea

4. severely limit carbs n fat but eat lean proteins and veggies very well..make sure you eat a good breakfast!

5. do lots of pilates/yoga/strength training to get the best from your other efforts

6. get a dog or 2 if you find your walking routine boring..or if you are at a gym,experiment all forms of cardio available and stick to all that you like

7. always push yourself n never give up!but get enough rest too...

8. be smart when eating out or at events/functions

9. dont trust myths like "no food after 7pm"...you have to stay nourished to lose fat,..the best you can do if you are scared to eat is perhaps
drink a glass of ice chocolate lowfat milk mixed with a tsp of instant softened oatmeal...

10. Stay focused on your goal and God bless you...

Low self esteem and a new body....! please help =] pics included?

I cant lose belly fat!?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.262-07:00

Heres my problem. I work out everyday for at least an hour. I bike, do crunches, walk etc. My stomach has remained constant and i cant seem to lose weight off of it, even with crunches. Im going on a month of doing this and it really isnt working. I would also like alternate foods i can take to school that are quick, easy, and good. I am 16, male, and weigh 205 lbs.
any advice is appreciated !
Zeke I feel your pain, I was in and sometimes find myself in the same boat! Habits are hard to break.

But what I have honestly learned through experience is that it varies per person. Some people have bodies that respond well to a certain type of diet, exercise, whatever...
In the end, consistency and patience are key. They go hand in hand too. I found out what worked for me in an odd way.

I was doing some construction work for an orphanage and by the end of it, I was 10 pounds lighter.. in 10 days! Mind you that's not safe, to lose so much weight and fat in such a short time.

Details... I looked back and realized that it was because I did constant work for a long period of time (for me, it's longer workouts) AND all the food I ate (and I ate a serious amount of food) was mostly natural. Mostly meats, veggies, breads and rice. Fruits and veggies are quick and easy, nuts for protein, again quick and easy. Lots of water, water keeps your body running and hunger controlled.
Always ate breakfast and all my other meals at a consistent time. Woke up and slept around the same time.

What worked for me might not for you. Motivate yourself and you are off to a great start.

One other thing I learned is that crunches do not result in a thinner stomach, in the end by building muscle underneath your belly, you actually push out your gut a bit more. But keep it up because you're building muscle, the more muscle you build, the more your metabolism is at work, and THAT is what will help you burn away the fat to reveal the sixpack.
Cardio burns calories on the spot, betters your heart and endurance to do more. Weights will build muscle to help you do more and keeps your metabolism going stronger long after you've stopped (cardio only for the moment and shortly after).

Anyways, I hope that helps. May not be the most helpful answer, but i just wanted to encourage you and share with you a bit of personal experience.
It sounds like you are eating bad foods. even if you workout for an hour a day, and eat a lot of bad foods, along with soda, you won't notice much of a difference. the best key to losing fat is going on a good diet.
Burn more calories than you eat.....I have the same problem.....I keep trying tho.......you should too.

What should my ideal weight be?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.261-07:00

okay so i've just recently joined up at a women's gym, i have an asessment tomorrow where they measure me weigh me set a goal... enywaiz i wanted to go in with a bit of an idea.
I'm 5 feet 2 inches weigh around 67 kilos. I was thinking of getting down to 47 kilos or would that be too thin? What should i weigh? any help is appreciated, thnx! :)xx
47 is great!

1. dont bank on the words 'fast' 'quick'....to stay safe,you shoudnt lose beyond 3 pounds of fat per week

2. start brisk walking 1-2 hrs a day

3. drink only water,lowfat milk and lots of green tea

4. severely limit carbs n fat but eat lean proteins and veggies very well..make sure you eat a good breakfast!

5. do lots of pilates/yoga/strength training to get the best from your other efforts

6. get a dog or 2 if you find your walking routine boring..or if you are at a gym,experiment all forms of cardio available and stick to all that you like

7. always push yourself n never give up!but get enough rest too...

8. be smart when eating out or at events/functions

9. dont trust myths like "no food after 7pm"...you have to stay nourished to lose fat,..the best you can do if you are scared to eat is perhaps
drink a glass of ice chocolate lowfat milk mixed with a tsp of instant softened oatmeal...

10. Stay focused on your goal and God bless you...
47 should be fine.

By the way, pick either metric or imperial. You're confusing.

My nose won't stop bleeding?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.260-07:00

i was hit in the face with a soccor ball flying the other day and my nose bled for a while but it keeps on constantly bleeding for 2 days. My nose doesn't feel broken but it is very soar. Could it possibly be a broken nose? What can i do to stop the bleeding?
I broke my nose and did not know it for a week... go to a doctor. In the meantime to stop bleeding keep your chin up, look up at the ceiling for two minutes at a time. don't load your nose with cotton or tissues it won't work. If bleeding presists call 911 good luck pal.
Resist all attempts to pick, or even blow it so you don't dislodge the scab.

It's likely to need cauterising to stop the bleeding. Go to see your doc. It's not an emergency if you've lived with it for two days. It could be broken, or the cartilage may just have been displaced. Your doc will advise and, if necessary, make sure it's going to heal straight (unless you'd prefer a bent nose).
Your nose is broken.
Put an ice pack on your face. Dont tilt you head backwards when trying to control the bleeding, it can cause blood clots in the brain. (My best friend is a nurse).
Go see a doctor about your nose before you die from blood loss.
you have to pinch the top of your nose so it clamps off the blood supply. a broken blood vessel does require med care to cauterize it. a x ray should be taken if your really concerned if its broke or not
lie down keep still , put a cold compress on your nose , works well for my brother who have nosebleeds all the time. if its been that long you should see a doctor.
See a Dr or go to the ER

Pancreatic cancer!!!?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.258-07:00

Pancreatic cancer : What is the health isssue???
The pancreas is a vital organ that produces insulin. In the case of pancreatic cancer, insulin production ceases. Pancreatic cancer is nearly impossible to diagnose until it is in the very, very late stages because there are no symptoms until then. For the most part it is untreatable and inoperable. Generally speaking, a patient diagnosed with pancreatic cancer doesn't live a terribly long time after that, usually a few weeks to a couple of months at best. Stranger things have happened of course, and there are new treatments being introduced all the time, but as a rule, pancreatic cancer is a very serious diagnosis.
Pancreatic cancer is one of the most painful cancers out there. Not only does it cause great pain, it also will eat away your body. I lost my mom to this horrible disease, but before it killed her, she lost both arms, then her legs, then her nose crumbled off her face, then it started wreaking havoc on her organs, breathing, liver quit functioning normally, kidneys, etc. To much suffering, that left us in bewilderment.

Mini

2008-08-28T20:29:00.257-07:00

Because of medical reasons my doctor has put me on the mini-pill instead of the full contraceptive pill. I'm curoius to know how many people have fallen pregnant while using it. I have been told that as long as i take it as per the instructions it should be as effective as the normal pill.
When taken correctly, the minipill is just as effective as a combined pill. (About 99% effective.) The catch is that with the minipill, it is more important to take the pill everyday at the exact same time (even during your period) and your protection is compromised even if you are a few hours late taking it, so the "typical use" effectiveness is lower, like 90% effective.

10 points for best girl advice!!!?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.256-07:00

Okay-- so I was 3 days late on my period and thought seriously that I wasn't going to have one. Well it came yesterday but is brown and kinda light? A whole lot lighter than normal? I keep having pregnancy symptoms (best way to describe it, dont think I am pregnant). I get sick in the after noons like after three. If I eat anything most the time it comes right back up-- If it was a stomach virus it wouldnt just pick a certain time of the day to come about... Can someone give me some helpful hints to what might be going on.

PG symptoms:
peeing
nausea/vomiting
food choice is diff than normal
back ache/ head ache
fatigue
moodiness
boob growth (doesnt seem like just swelling)
pants a bit snug

I know all this can be because of my birth control-- should I continue taking it. I am arranging a doctor appointment but it takes time...my mom is dead I am just looking for some advice from some other girls. Thanks!
Okay, here's what I think. The pill can have anything happen, nothing is 100 percent and you can always have spotting, etc. Have you had sex and had him finish in you? Do you have REASON to believe you were pregnant? The first problem I see is that after ONLY 3 days of you missing it, you "seriously thought" you were pregnant. Yikes! You probably psyched your body out so much that your body can THINK it is pregnant...crazy, but true. How old are you? You could have some sort of blood sugar problem (diabetes, etc.), which would cause constant peeing, diff food choices, nausea/vomiting (with too much sugar in your blood this happens) as well as contant fatigue. If you're always peeing, you're probably always thirsty. If you're always thirsty, you're drinking a lot. If you're drinking a lot, this will lead to water weight making your pants kinda snug.

Hey, get a preg test just incase, regardless of if you have spotting or not. You can get ones that are less than 20 bucks and can detect event a day or so BEFORE your "missed period".

Good luck, kiddo.
You do have symptoms of being pregnant. If you have been taking the birth control correctly, you are probably not, however, if you have missed days then you may very well be pregnant.
If you think you are pregnant, you should discontinue your birth control until you see a doctor, also, abstain from sex! Buy a cheap pregnancy test, and find out for sure.
it might just be your bc or you can be prego the best thing to do is take a test and check with your doc a ept can come out negitive but really be positive so make sure you talk to your doc about it he will be able to tell you if its your bc or what the case may be.... also keep track of your symptoms so u can inform your doc better hope the best for you!!
wow, it really sounds like it could be because of your birth control. no one but your doctor can tell you for sure. if it is, it might be wise to stop taking it before it does some more serious damage. good luck and i hope this helps!
is it a possibility for you to be pregnant? i wouldnt panic until you saw the doctor. like you said, it could just be from your birth control.
Honey.......you're pregnant. And that thing that you think is a period, won't be here tomorrow. Had the same symptoms my first pregnancy.
You could buy a pregnancy test just to make sure. I would personally go to the doctor to make sure it isn't something bad.
uhm... i would definately go to the doctor. that doesn't sound good at all.

sorry about your mom.
Sounds like you're pregnant! Congrats!
i would buy a preg test and see a doc (sorry to hear about your mom!)
Go to the doctor.. get checked out. Get better.
I do not know how long you have been on your birth control but it can change your hormones, in the beginning and after you have been on the same kind for a while....not everyone reacts the same to every kind of pill or bc product. Birth control (depending on type) can also cause weight gain sometimes. If you are certain that you are not pregnant (take a home pregnancy test), then continue till you see the Dr.....if you are pregnant or not comfortable with continuing them, then stop, but you will need to use protection if you are having sex.....condoms + spermicide can be effective birth control and prevention of catching STD's
So: you are not pregnant but you are taking new birth control. So it must be the birth control. Keep taking it. If you decide to stop, don't have sex! The symptoms will go away after your body gets used to the pill, though. Until then, eat frequently. It will be unpleasant when it comes up, but food gets absorbed quickly so you only throw up about half. So eat twice as often and you won't starve. Drink lots of water!

What difference does it make with hormones in birth control?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.255-07:00

Different birth control have different levels of hormones?

is that right?

whats the difference between more powerful dosage of hormoes in birth control than low.

how does this effect you ?
Yes, this is right.

Different levels work for different people for a number of reasons. All doses are equally effective at preventing pregnancy.

Lower dose pills may have less side effects (like nausea, weight gain, etc.) but may not regulate periods and/or cause break through bleeding throughout the month. Higher doses may have more side effects, but may better regulate (or even eliminate) periods.

Women have different reactions to all hormone levels, so it is hard to say how any given pill would effect any given woman. Most clinicians start with a low-mid dose pill and then change based on the patient's feedback.

Hope that helps!

I feel really worthless sometimes... how can I stop this?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.254-07:00

It has happened more lately than ever before. People have called me ugly in the past and I always thought I was pretty. (Not in a conceited way,I just thought I was at least average looking) People have told me I'm pretty..but I honestly don't feel like I am anymore. Sometimes I feel so depressed I feel like I have nothing to live for.

Any advice would be great,thanks for your time!
I know it is hard, but it really shouldn't (and doesn't) matter what other people think. It has taken me over 30 years to realize this. I was teased in school because my nose is larger than the "average" persons. But now I have learned to accept myself as being unique. I also tend to accentuate the better features I have such as eyes and lips. Do things that make you happy and forget everyone else. An added bonus is you will fell more confident with yourself.
The people who told you you were ugly knew that this would get to you and it worked. They are obviously mean hateful people and their opinion should mean nothing.
If looks are all you feel you have then you are in a sad situation. But that isn't all you have and you know it. There are many unknown ways that you will influence others in the future. You will discover talents you did not know you had. You may someday be a mother, wife, grandmother and make the world a better place. Hang in there. You have the world ahead of you to live for and many many adventures that you never dreamed would or could happen. Just keep your heart and your mind open.
well let me tell you something, nobody is ugly no matter what. you may be ugly to one person but to another person you can be completely gorgeous. you seem very nice and all you need is a good friend that you can talk to about anything and a friend that is honest with you, can help with your problems, and loves you for you, lol sounds more like a bf but not really more like a counselor
I just gave "eyeforlove" as Thumbs up on her answer to your question.
She is correct in that YOU "MUST" find something, even if it is ONE thing you enjoy doing and just sink yourself completely into it to the point of forgetting all others around you and what-ever they are saying and/or doing that hurts you.
I MUST add this:
Remember the story of Jesus, when all the people were condemning Him and they were about to Stone the prostitute to death- when he was here on earth in the flesh as we are?
He sat with a small stick and drew in the sand and only commented back to them; "If there is any here among you who has NO sin, then you may cast the first stone." They ALL had to turn and walk away.
My point with this is for you to see how that Jesus threw all of himself into keeping his own mouth closed, he kept his own self from throwing back at them or any actions by sitting with only that stick, drawing in the sand.
Many times we get so down that we cannot even find any interest anymore. If this be your case, just find a comfortable place and sit with a pencil and paper and draw circles (or what-ever) just to focus your own mind in the moment of being to help you tune out what is going on around you. There are and is always going to be very cruel people in this world. But it doesn't mean that we too have to be that way.
Mostly everybody goes through this,and it mostly the ones who have level heads,to get over it,is to do not care what little piss pot people think or say about u.U know who u are and who u want to be,dont change urself to please these jerks,but make urself better so ur happy,,trust me in the long run,when ur happy they will not be,thats why many pick on others because if they can bring them down,then they feel like they just brought themselves up.
and u can b added to my contacts,,cause mean people sux....
You sound bored. Try a hobby, or a project, or a cause, or a personal quest for whatever, or maybe simply do something nice for someone, just for the endorphins.
http://www.articledesk.info/Article/Ment...

This may be the help you need.
Do lots of exercise, you feel good great and you look good!
Find someone you trust who you can share these feelings with. Either a close friend or a professional counselor/psychologist.
:P you sound nice, you just need a good friend to talk to, and you'll be fine
most women always feel that way. GO BUY SHOES. unless you don't have money to spend. Its a money problem.
if you need motivation and support im hear
go to church and pray

Do you got braces? if you do they push on ur teeth im afread they will push out my perment teeth?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.253-07:00

no, when they push on your teeth they hold your tooth behind it, so that they don't "push" it out.
I had braces.

By design they push or pull on your teeth to put them in a more proper position. The teeth will litterally move around .. and this is done while you are in your teen years because then the gums can adjust to the new spot and anchor the teeth in.

The braces won't push teeth completely out ..
however your dentist might inform you that you should have some yanked out. yukko but often for the best.

Braces are a dark blessing. If you get them, be prepared for some discomfort .. but your mouth will look better and be healthier.
First of all, you have nothing to worry about. Braces only apply mild pressure (like pushing on your teeth a little, try it with your finger). I had knocked out a tooth, and i was afraid that braces would knock out the tooth again, but they didnt!
of course they don't push out ur teeth.
i have them and my teeth are improving already.
ask ur orthodontist abt it if ur concerned.
btw, it's have, not got.
learn ur grammar
mike, bless you.

they wont push your teeth out, thats ridiculous.
It's HAVE, not got.

What should i do...?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.251-07:00

ok so the new kidd at my skewl that everyone liked asked me out his second day here and naturally i said yes but thats not long enough for him to already kno me and i cnt jus blurt out that i have diabetes he doesnt hang wit many kidds mostly the jocks who all kno that i ahve it cuz there my frenn and it doesnt *** up normal in many convos n/e way and i want him to kno in case we r eva on a date er sumtin and i pass out with low bloodsugar or sumthin so he knos wut to do or to tell parmedics wen they get there even if he doesnt kno wut to do...how should i tell him i mean we have only been datin for one week
just tell him you have diabetes, there is nothing to be ashamed of. If he really likes you he will still ask you out with or without diabetes.
Just tell him that if something were to happen that you have diabetes and that he would need to let someone know. If your like me you can feel it coming on and know that you need to get something to eat or drink really quick to avoid this from happening. It's really not something that would harm your relationship with him. You never know he may have it also.
Honey, I cannot read your writing.
Please use complete sentences and use the spell check.
Thanks.

From what I can make out, you need to tell everyone you're with that you have diabetes.It is essential for your life.
Why would you not eat when necessary to pretend to some guy you do not have diabetes ? That's harming yourself and will cost $500+ for an ambulance ride.
If you are old enough to date, you are old enough to take care of your medical needs.
I agree with everyone else here, Sofy. You really have nothing to worry about in telling this boy that you're diabetic.

Be well, Princess, and be proud of who you are and what you are.

If someone that you think something of can't see past a medical condition then it's them that has the problem, not you.
I have had diabetes since I was 6 and I'm 15 now and i had bf's b4 and they actually thought it was really cool like before I had an insulin pump the guys would be so interested and I would actually let them give me shots and take my blood sugar
and if he doesn't like you because u have diabetes he is totally not worth your time
Yeah, be like "I have to talk to you about something serious...." and then explain to him what it is and why it isn't something he should worry about but in case something should happen....
Keep granola bars near for low blood sugar. They work good. The sugar gives you fast help and the grains give you long lasting help.
I'd just tell him... If he decide's he doesn't like you because of it, then he's really just not worth it, or as I say, not even worth a used test stip... ;-) lol.
Don't be ashamed of having diabetes..you can't help it. Just tell him.
i agree with cheeky take nick j. hes a wonderful person and alot of girls love him and he has diabetes so its fine!
Yeah, understand your anxiety.

My suggestions:
1. Wear a tag around your neck. I believe paramedics are trained to look out for it read your condition(s) from there. There are medical companies that can give you a proper thing to put around your nectk
2. Carry with sugars. Drug store sells prepared sugars for emergency hypoglycemia. For myself I carry dried dates with me. Two to three dates chewed swallowed enough for me to recover. You will feel miserable as you get into hypoglycemia would go for it. Protect yourself. Just in csse. Actually if you look after yourself. Get treatment. Be dutiful. You would not even need this.
3. Dating skill. Yeah, no need to tell on the 1st few dates. Let it come naturally. Bring up the matter as the time comes.
4. Be more confident. Diabetes is not such a frightening condition. You do not just drop dead or comatose. There are signs you can learn to cope with it. Test your blood sugar reqularly learn your condition. Hypoglycemia symtomatic. You will feel weak and giddy before it's onset. Symtoms are giddyness, headache, tireness, confusion, slurry speech, lack of co-ordination, inability to think straight. These things come about long before a patient goes comatose. If unsure suck sweets. Or better yet eat your dates or raisins or some dried fruits. If you are near a cafe. Drink a glass of Milo. Your date wouldn't notice what you are doing.

Razor burn down there?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.250-07:00

When i shave down there i always get razor burn! It itches like crazy and its embarrassing when swimming. Also, I'm always walking around trying to scratch the itch!

What can i do to make the Razor burn go go away? Prevent it from happening? Any products i should use?
You can try waxing. Or shaving with the way that your pubic hair grows.

The only way that I've ever been able to keep razor burn at bay is lotion a warm wash cloth.

Good Luck
You can get all kinds of creams/gels and 'foam' type things that you put on your skin after shaving, I know its not quite the same, but I get similar problems (alot of guys do) when shaving there face, but I hav found a few products that stop any burn, like this one from loreal,

http://beyondbeautybasics.com/comfort-ma...

HTH anyway
i heard putting deoderant after works. Also, shave with the hair not against it and to help reduce the itch just dont itch it. i know its hard but dont, and after a while of shaving down there it will go away
I don't even think you should shave down there. It's not good for you. Thats why you get those burns, I mean an occasional shave is fine, but be careful, and only do the top!
Shave in the direction of the hair, instead of against. (The opposite of how you would shave your legs)
Try using an electric shaver. It's still almost as smooth and not nearly as much pain/itching.
use venus vibrance
for an iresistably smooth shave
WAX

Is there any way to force a family member into drug rehab in the state of Maryland?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.249-07:00

I know that in Florida they have something called the Marchman Act and I was wondering if there is anything like that in Maryland. I have a VERY CLOSE family member who has gotten hooked on Crack cocaine and I am terrified for her and my whole family. She knows that she needs to go to rehab, but keeps stalling. Some of her excuses were valid, but those circumstances have long passed and there always seems to be a new excuse to delay her from getting help. I am losing my mind! I stress about this from the time I wake up until the time I go to bed. Her drug problem is tormenting me and the rest of my family! Is'nt there any way that a family member can have someone forced into treatment or at least evaluated? I know it can be done if someone is suicidal or homicidal, but what about for severe drug addiction?
In Maryland you can file an Emergency Evaluation Petition (EEP) and the person will be taken by the police to the hospital for examination and drug tests and she can be hospitalized. One of my family members killed himself recently in Maryland bc he couldn't get off crack, and the last I heard 1 in 4 crack users does it so I would really try to get her some help.
It depends on her age I think. I don't know too much about it, but keep on trying. Don't give them money or let them control you. Its hard to stay strong during this, but know and have faith she will get the help she needs. Pray, pray, pray. God bless you.
the 25th amendmant or rule or something haspolice officers take whoever they need toand take them directly to rehab

I just had a blood test, they say my fat count is hight, why is that bad?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.248-07:00

Thy made me go on a low fat diet.
Lipids (several different types of fat as listed below) are found in your blood and are stored in tissues. They are an important part of cells, and they help keep your body working normally. Lipid disorders, however, such as high cholesterol, may lead to life-threatening illnesses, such as coronary artery disease (CAD), heart attack, or stroke.

Cholesterol: Too much cholesterol in the blood can build up along the inside of the artery walls, forming what is known as plaque. Large amounts of plaque increase your chances of having a heart attack or stroke.

Low-density lipoprotein (LDL): It is sometimes called "bad cholesterol." A high LDL cholesterol level may increase your chances of developing heart disease.

Very low-density lipoprotein: A high VLDL cholesterol level can cause the buildup of cholesterol in your arteries and increases your risk of heart disease and stroke.

Triglycerides: Having a high triglyceride level along with a high LDL cholesterol may increase your chances of having heart disease more than having only a high LDL cholesterol level.

Overall, there are recommended levels and probably your doctor is trying to get you down to these normal levels. That's why it's good you had the tests done and you have the chance to change your diet now and prevent some of those complications. From personal experience I can tell you that it's not that difficult to lower your levels if you are consistent at each meal and follow the advice given to you at the doctor's. Also, eating high-fiber foods (oats for example) provides a special boost in fighting high fats.

Good luck.
High fat content in your blood gives you high blood pressure, which makes your heart work too hard. It can lead to a heart attack without a change (that has already been made.)
you'll get diabetes! ahh! if you get it, u'll die. ur body cant hold up that much fat. or, its something else that isn't that bad. to lose weight, exercise 4 5hours!!!
Because to much fat in your blood can lead to clogged arteries and that in turn can lead to heart attacks and/or stroke

A little embarrassing question... need both boy girl opinions!?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.247-07:00

ok. well, im 14 years old and i have been wondering what is the best way to masturbate. my boyfriend has been telling me about all the things that happen when you do, and i really want to try it! problem is, i cant buy any toys or things like that since i am underage and dont usually go anywhere without my parents... girls, what are your favorite ways to masturbate? i need help!!!
I like to rub my clitoris (the bump at the top of your vulva which is very sensitive) and put my finger into my vagina. I have never used any object. I also like to hump a pillow and fantasize about really hot steamy and sometimes kinky sex even if I am a virgin. One thing to try: use an ice cube. Creepy sounding but nice. And do not use food, or trust me you will never eat it again! It also helps to rub your breasts and inner thighs.
wel i start off by rubbin my clit that gets me wet and i jus use my free hand to caress my nipple as soon as i start to get wet i p[ut my fingers in and move them in and out as if it were a real dick i close my eyes and start to imagine things that i want to be done to me i wuldnt try sticking anything inside me cuz ive heard sum crazy thiings bout objects being stuck inside a girl lol good luck
first time i did that i just rubbed myself where it feels best. that u have to discover on your own since we are all different. and think about your boyfriend or talk to him if possible.
use things can be sex toys....but clean them first, like the ends of hair brushes, highlighters, stuff like that. do what feels good to you :-)
Rub your clitorus...
Just rub your magic button and have fun. Think about that boy strokin his
i use my fingers and this nice girl said to use a hair brush and my sick minded cuzion said a carrot...like eww
well...rubbing it gently and thinking of him doing it to u will help i guess..?

I want to get really muscular. How many times a week should i work out?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.246-07:00

I'm only 120 pounds. And everything i eat just seems to do nothing to me. I'm a 18 year old guy and i want to get really muscular. How often should i work out and what proteins should i be taking? I'm not very good with the body building stuff or things i should and should not eat.

And do i have to take a type of weight gainer maybe?
Work out every other day. Your body needs time to recover or you are justt making it weaker. This is because when you weight train you break down the muscle and your body realizes it needs to be stronger so that won't happen again. Hae some protein such as a burger or chicken sandwich afterwards. Carbs in things like pasta would also be good. Don't use protein pills they are pretty much fakes and a waste of your money. Drink water beetween exercises on hot days. You sound pretty small for 18 so I suggest eating a litttle more or if you really are just natturally that small make sure to start out light on the weights. Unless you are competing eat whatever sugar you want, you will still get stronger, just not be a physicly healthy. If you don't have the time work out three days a week, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday but every other day which is basicly alternating 3 and 4 days a week would be best. If you work out two days a week you will not get better but will not get worse. Hope this helps and good luck getting stronger!
dont bother with all the protein powder crap you can buy, at your age and weight combined your body prolly wouldnt metabolise it properly and you would be wasting money. the best thing to do is just work out every second or third day and eat meals that are healthy. try eat more meat and carbs bread,rice,pasta etc, than ususal but dont go over the top. when you start seeing yourself put on muscle then get more serious and look at a more specific diet. pushups suck, but are awesome for putting on muscle effectively as they work most muscle groups in the body and they dont take up too much of your time. i had a friend that went from steven hawking looking to pretty buff in 6 months of doing up to 300 pushups every few days. gd luk
You're pretty small right now. But if you're serious about this here's my suggestion.

Lift four days a week hitting every major muscle group once. Eat a lot of food, but make it healthy. Try to eat five or six smaller meals, instead of 2 or 3 large meals. Of your daily caloric intake, 25% should be protein (try for 1g protein / pound body mass), 50% should be carbs, and 25% should be from fat. Note that 1g protein, 1g carb has 4 calories, 1g fat has 9 calories. Do high intensity cardio at least a few times a week.

As for supplements, try GNC Whey Protein Isolate. Also, I've never used it but I've heard great things about NO-Xplode.

What could i have?

Flu
Mono
Food poisoning

If it persists then go see a doctor

I hope you feel better soon.
Have you started your period yet? Your body is probably just gioing through some changes. Or you could just be getting sick or some type of virus.
mono
sounds like you have the flu i had it this year and felt the exact same way
I'm sorry to say but, your dying.

I am 200lbs a daily user of marijuana and I want to pass a swab test, how long will it take me to pass???

2008-08-28T20:29:00.244-07:00

Please Help!!!
What the hell? Are people on here really this retarded? I always knew there were a lot of clueless people on here, but this is the most extreme example yet.

You said you had a swab test and people are telling you to buy fake piss? LOL

Anyway, swab tests are a piece of cake. Usually a day without smoking is all it takes. To be safe, try stopping 2-3 days in advance.

LMAO...I got a thumbs down for using common sense and intelligence.
fine be a dumbass and fail the test Report It
You have a few options:
1. It'll take about 3 or 4 weeks if you stop now and let it get out of your system naturally.
2. You can buy a drink that gives you a four hour window.
3. You can buy a do-it-yourself drug test and test yourself at home to see if you pass or fail.
4. Use the Whizzinator. www.whizzinator.com/

Email me if you have any questions.

Obama 08!
6 months of not smoking weed at all. get a bottle of pee from a friend who doesn't smoke it and use that on the swab if you're just trying to fake it. don't just use water on it- that doesn't work. maybe try cutting down if you really want to.
You're already ******. It'll take several months. Might us well take another hit.
Don't smoke. PERIOD.
Like a month or 2 but during that time u can't smoke and u should be drinking a lot of water.
dont smoke weed

A little embarrassing question... need both boy girl opinions!?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.243-07:00

Eyes not focused? Blurry? Can't see!!??

2008-08-28T20:29:00.242-07:00

my eyes take a long time to get re focused. when i look at something close, and then look at something farther, it's just a big blur. it takes me half an hour to get it refocused. what is going on with my eyes? i have almost perfect vision before. also, when i cover my right eye, its just a complete blur but if i do the same with my left eye, my right eye can see. do i need glasses or something?
You most likely do need glasses. Just because you've had perfect vision in the past doesn't mean it will stay that way. You probably have an Astigmatism in your left eye (which would be the reason for the blur.) Yes, your eyes can have different perscriptions. But don't worry. Astigmatism isn't a bad thing. It just means that the lens of your eye isn't completely round. This could also be the reason for your troubles focusing. When you look with both eyes you combine the ability of each eye to see clearly. This is why you can see better with your right than your left.

The best advice: see your optometrist. Only the doctor will be able to tell what the true problem is.
you should definitly go see an eye doctor, its probably you need glasses or you might have dry eye
Have you thought of seeing and eye doctor instead of asking this question on YA? I can just see someone saying you have a brain tumor.

How can I lose 1 pound a day?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.241-07:00

This is what I do everyday:
Wake up get ready for school I cant walk because I always run late when I go walking.Oh I eat breakfast apple.I come from home eat cereal(the 1 with the dog giving his owner cereal but I get the amount I need).I go up down my stairs since often is raining..Eat at 5:30 cereal(k amount)After 6 dont eat.
Oh how much up down shall I go my stairs to make 1 mile?
I don't know if you already are, but going vegetarian is a great way to lose weight. Meat alternatives are awesome-tasting (I know; shocking) and only have about a third of the calories. Fruits and vegetables fill you up; you won't be as hungry. For exercise, try push-ups, sit-ups, and lunges. They may be boring, but they're really effective, plus you can listen to music or watch TV while you're doing them. The best way to scorch calories without spending a million dollars on equipment is really simple: buy a jumprope. It works amazingly well. The stairs are a great idea, too, I should try that ;] There are 5280 feet in a mile, so measure how long your stairs are (in feet) and multiply by two (that gives you one full set going up and then back down). Do 5280 divided by the amount you just found and you'll get how many sets of your stairs make a mile.
I think what you are doing is just stupid!
you are gonna get anemic!
that's bad im on a extreme diet too!
i want to loose pounds too but that is not the way you at least have to eat heavy meals 3 times a day and between that like and apple or fruit or special k bar. but don't just have an apple for breakfast! run a lot don't stop when you are running the mile drink lots of water! (i drink 3 liters per day)
and moderate on the sweets like on the chocolate and chips
you can do it!!!
i lost 6 pounds already in 2 weeks!
50 times or more up teh stairs.
when you dont eat every 3 hours, your body thinks its starving, so it takes your muscle and turns it into fat. if your growing, then you should be eating more protein, and more food in general. also, dieting at a young age causes food problems when you're older, and makes you eat more junk. get the 3 hour diet book for teens. it helped me lose 5 pounds in a week. i used to diet like you, but now i diet using that book, and ive lost way more weight.
According to weight loss experts, nutritionists, etc. you shouldn't lose more than 1 - 2 pounds per week. Losing more quickly usually leads to putting the pounds back on. I think eating small meals like five or six and watching your portion size is probably the best way to lose weight quickly. Also not eating after 6 pm is good. Incorporate aerobic exercise and strength training. Adding muscle helps you to burn fat even when you're resting. Good luck!
50 times or more. or run aroun each room 4 thirty times or more, hope that helps. :D
thrroow up
jkk

eat salads and work out forr a half hour.
\alsoo cut out soda drink water ull loose more then on pound a day =]
Go up and down until you are out of breath.

How did stds first come about?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.240-07:00

Well i've always thought about it. how did something like that first cme to be?
Lots of STDs have been around passed from person to person for thousands of years, like syphillis.

Some STDs (and other diseases, like the plague) may come from animals.But not from sex with animals as people like to say.

AIDs is thought to have originated as a primate disease (i.e. monkeys) but it wasn't fatal to the primates. At some point humans ate primate meat or were exposed to their blood or saliva (through a monkey bite, or butchering them, for example), and were exposed to the virus which later mutated to become a human disease.

Hope this helps!!!!
While many responses would give a timeline of hundreds or thousands of years, given the simplicity of the genetic structure of many STDs, they have been around for more than a few millions years. STDs are simply parasitic organisms which evolved over time to survive and thrive off of many different animal species, humans included.

You can't expect to get an STD from a monkey at the carnival, but over time, a virus or bacteriophage will evolve to find new hosts. HIV is a prime example, as some others mentioned. HIV originated as SIV, Simian Immonudeficiency Virus. Due to blood contamination during research studies on primates in the mid twentieth century, the infection evolved to accept human hosts, and became designated Human Immunodeficiency Virus by Robert Gallo and Luc Montagnier. HIV-1 is believed to have come from the Chimpanzee of the southern Cameroon, and HIV-2 is believed to have come from the Sooty Mangabey, also of southern Africa, including the Cameroon.

But as I said, STDs have spanned millions of years on this earth. For perspective, think about the common cold today. The cold is caused by a multitude of variations of viruses, including Rhinovirus, albeit very weak by some standards. With the advent of medication, we have given diseases and viruses a need to evolve, to become stronger, to fight back, and after many decades we see, that a lot of medications of old do not work anymore, and today the scare is much greater, due to all the preemptive medicating of humans and our food supply.
Well most stds have been around for thousands of years, I would think that it came from a bacterial infection that left untreated in a person developed into a virus and spread from there. More specifically, viruses like AIDS/HIV are synthesized, created by government for various reasons. Nobody will ever know excatly how stds started, all we can do is play guess games.
STD may be a old as mankind itself . Well know for hundreds of years.In English language has shot word for two of the most common the pox (sypillis) and clap (gonorrhea).

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/sexuallytransmit...
www.merck.com/mmpe/sec14/ch/194/ch194a...
www.std-gov.org/stds/std.htm
When we were trying to find the cure to Polio we used monkey blood to cure it, because monkeys were immune to Polio. But what we didn't know is that they carried other diseases, STDS. That is how Aids came about. They came from Monkeys.
std's have been around as long as people have. no way of knowing how it all started.

Why do Americans complain about the high cost of health insurance?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.239-07:00

They are the ones who don't exercise, they eat a lot of junk food, and over 70% are fat. Tell me why a nation with a lot of resources would complain about the high cost of health care, when they can just do simple things, like eating an apple, or drinking water and running, to stay healthy. I bet if the majority were healthy, we wouldn't even worry about the cost of health insurance. In Economics, when the demand of a product is high, (such as health insurance) the producer can increase prices as long as the demand won't go down (health insurance's demand probably won't go down because of more and more unhealthy Americans). You see that, that's why the price is going up. I just wanna hear a few suggestions from you guys. This nation is really messing itself up.
well smart one, u get a lot of people in different countries who are fat and dont eat right and what not so dont put all the blame on america when so much of the US population is made up of what hmmm lemme think -IMMIGRANTS!- oh and they get all the good deals too by the way so they mess it up for the rest of us decent honest hard working people and for everybody it is a hassle to have to worry about health insurance unless you are so rich that you can afford to get fat and not worry about health insurance because you know you have all of that backed up by your money oh and another thing MOST of us do try to eat healthy but its not always that easy considering all the things we have to pay for in order to have a house a car medical insurance dental insurance on top of all of the taxes we pay going out of our paychecks and what not so we run to mcdonalds for dinner for example u know what i mean so think about that before u start thinkin ur some know it all u sound ignorant
Because it's not only obese, lazy, and uncaring people who have health care problems. I have a variety of health problems (both physical and psychiatric) and my family can barely afford it. My insurance doesn't cover therapy or my psychiatrist. They don't cover numerous ER visits (btw one which was over 4,000 USD for a freaking MRI alone).
I am a teenage american and I am at a healthy weight. Just the other day I needed to go get an updated physical and I have health insurance, but they denied me it for the checkup! It cost nearly 400 dollars! Now THAT is just rediculous! It's all messed up.
Everything is wayyyyy overpriced.....I had to go to the E.R. for something, that is not because of weight problems, and jut 1 does of tylenol was like $50 bucks......and it was tylenol!!!!!!!!!
Well, go Canadian! I live in Canada and I am really glad. Everything is paid by taxes, so health care is pretty much free. And our taxes aren't that high. Like...15% I think.
i don't know but if you want good health insurance go to canada
What is really messed up is when we are paying outrages price for health insurance and they only pay a VERY small percent of what needs done.
My daughter HAD to have mouth surgery when she was 3, there wasn't anything that we could have done different to prevent it from happening to her.
The cost was over $10,000, our messed up insurance paid a whole $1,500! The remaining amount had to be paid up-front before they would do it.
How is that fair? Why make little children suffer. It is out of their control if their parents can't come up with that kind of money.

It is just absurd the way the goverment works.

I have my period and??

2008-08-28T20:29:00.238-07:00

I decided to go running. I have never done this during my period because I am tired and nauseaus, but I figured I would try it. I ran one mile and then came back and I almost fainted when I got through the door. I am always tired during my period and nauseous and sometimes dizzy. I drank a lot of water before going and after, but still I thought excersising was suppose to help you during your period. It didn't make me feel any better. Is this normal?
It is wise to take it easy on days 1 and 2, or whatever your heaviest day(s) are. This doesn't mean don't exercise, but just don't do the all-out, beat yourself to death thing that you might otherwise do, unless you are an athlete and used to it.

If I were a runner, I might choose to go for a brisk walk instead. Yoga is good, but avoid the inverted asanas.
It is normal to be tired during your period and to be nauseous before your period comes but if your nauseous during your period you need to see a doctor. Also if you have a heavy period that could be causing your fatigue you might have anemia because of the heavy flow. Exercising before your period helps to reduce cramps that you might get during your period but it won't help with the nausea and the fact that you're tired. I suggest that you see a doctor.
Have you ever been tested for anemia? You sound like you have low blood iron right now and that would make you feel crummy during activities and your cycle.

I am anemic and love to run but I cannot when I am menstruating. I would rather do something better for my body and energy during this time like yoga. It will invigorate you and is much better for your stomach area.

Some suggestions for you: talk to your doctor about a CBC blood test, keep hydrating yourself, and run on off days of your cycle, yoga during the cycle. Oh yeah, nourish your body with a balanced diet.

Good luck to you!
Sound like you're low on iron. Do you take an iron supplement during your period? That helps a lot of women replace the iron they lose at that time. As always, talk to your GYN about this, there's a lot they can do to relieve your menopausal symptoms.
it happens to me too
i dont feel any better when i exercise either

sometimes, i take medicine to relieve the pain
it might be
i get alot of headaches and get really light headed when i get my period
so i think it sorta common

For orthodontists, or anybody who would know,,, HELP?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.237-07:00

so, i have had braces for 43 months. 3 years 7 months. super, right?

SKIP THIS PART, if you want.
about four months ago i told them i was getting them off, they had my permanent retainer made from my impression before hand, took off my wires, and all the nurses were congratulating me. the ortho waltzes in and says, oh nope, you have one more month. i bawled, and he was just saying he was a good orthodontist. good orthodontist my butt.
OKAY, DONE.

so, last time, they took off my back braces! yay. and left the front six on top and bottom, and put my permanent retainer in on the bottom. and told me that maybe i was getting them off next time.

so, at church today, this dentist old guy was talking about my teeth and was like yaah! you still have a few months, your back teeth still need to move just a bit.

i seriously teared up.

SO, QUESTION HERE. VVVV

do you think they would put my back braces back on?
:[
Hey, I don't know if you will need more braces or not, but you should ask them for an estimate how long the braces will take. I know you want to get them off soon, but relax, cuz you want your teeth to be ready before the braces are done. Otherwise after a few years your teeth will move around and become crooked again.

So have i ovulated or not. i havnt had the egg white discharge?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.236-07:00

bd the 4th and will tnite
You usually ovulate 10 to 14 days prior to your period. However that is not always the case. If you want to know for sure by ovulation kits.

What is the average weight of a breast?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.235-07:00

lol
Average cup size is a C so average weight of one breast would be around 1.3lb. For both breasts it would be a total of around 2.6lb.

1cc of fat = 0.9g (breasts are mostly fat).
Every cup size is roughly 220cc.
From the females I have been associated with, my guess would be about 6 pounds.
.05 pounds
like, 2 pounds.

but i dont know for sure, i havent weighed mine in ages.
;]
idk
whoo weighs there boob?
Um....why???? But i think it's about 0.7 pounds.

Um...I'm 5'1 and i weigh 85 pounds. I am way under weight. You should probably weigh 125 pounds. hope this helps
It depends what your sex is.

If you're a girl then you should be at about 125-130.

If you're a guy well then i can't help you. sorry...

Whats wrong with me?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.231-07:00

For the past week or so i've been feeling different, but im not sick, well at least i dont think i am. First it was just that my stomach would feel kinda funny, like gooish. Even if i didnt eat much for the past few hours or so. and then my head started to bother me, like i was dizzy. and this weekend i started noticeing that i'm REALLY REALLY tired. i feel like im about to fall asleep. but normally im a really hyper awake person. So does anyone know if this is symptoms to a sickness or something? and yes, i have drank a lot of water, so many people have told me that, and it hasnt worked if thats what ur gonna say
Are you vegetarian or lactose intolerant?? If you are then it is really important that you supplement with a multi B complex supplement on a daily basis..... This sounds like iron deficiency anemia to me as somebody has already mentioned.

Iron deficiency anemia will produce symptoms such as excessive feelings of being cold, fatigue and exhaustion, nasty nasty headaches, paleness of skin, dizzy and fainting spells, irritability and moodiness .... are you eating enough iron rich foods?? Without the B6 that meat so richly provides you will also have digestive troubles as B6 is essential for producing hydrochloric acid in your tummy.

A good way to check if you have iron deficiency anemia is to look at the coloring of the inner lid of your bottom eyelid ........ pasty and white means that you are anemic, rich and red is healthy and not anemic

Please ensure that you are also getting enough calcium, vitamin D (known as the sunshine vitamin) and vitamins B6 and B12 as all these are needed for the effective assimilation of iron in your body .......... take a multi B complex supplement containing all the B's ie ~ B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12 and folate etc.... as they all work best as a group.... don't buy any of the B complex of vitamins individually but rather as a whole group unless a nutritionally oriented physician or naturopath specifically tells you to do so.

hope this helps you ?

take care of you ?

CHEERS
?
My pleasure mate and thanx you........... have a great day / night ... ;0)

CHEERS Report It
Gosh, it could be so many things.

Perhaps, you are anemic, meaning you do not get enough iron through your diet. And with being a women, a lot of iron is lost due to menses.
There are iron supplements available, but try using a pre-natal vitamin. Instead of two, if you were pregnant, use one pill.

And eat lots of dark leafy greens, broccoli, kidney beans and red cabbage.

Pregnant

Your best bet would be to see a doctor.

Briainnn surgryy??? HELPP PLEASE 10 POINTSS A.S.A.P?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.230-07:00

okay umm is it possible for the personns brain to expand soo much that it is starting to go in his neck? cause they cant do the "flap" surgery yet casuse his blood pressure is dangeroussly low. the flap is when they cut a sqare in his scalp
PLEASE HELPP
When blood accumulates (a hematoma) and isn't contained, it can push the brainstem down through the Foramen Magnum. That is the opening at the base of the skull that the spinal cord exits through. A traumatic injury to the skull causing an injury to the internal temporal artery, a subdural hematoma, or a subarachnoid bleed could all do it. From you description, the "flap" would be in the dura mater, or the tough covering layer over the brain. That suggests a subdural hematoma. The other two conditions that I mentioned are much more dangerous and life-threatening, and progress much more rapidly.

Now, that being said, the low blood pressure will help in the short term, because blood is not being pumped up into the skull with any force or volume. So your Neurosurgeon is using good judgment and allowing the blood to clot while he waits for the blood pressure to improve. It does no good to operate in haste if the low blood pressure causes a great risk of death during the operation. I'm sure that he's ordered hourly neurological checks by skilled Neurology nurses an, if there is a stable exam, he will wait until he can do the surgery with minimal risk. If there is neurological deterioration, then he will operate immediately and take his chances on survival of the patient.

It's a difficult balancing act. And it sounds like he's using good judgment at this stage.
Yes the brain can has too much pressure or swelling and start to swell out into the "neck"
these questions are wierd

no

Inner knee/calf/hamstring pain?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.229-07:00

I had my acl repaired around 7 months ago with my patellar tendon. Ever since then i have had pain on the inside of my knee it goes from my inner upper calf to my lower hamstring. It only hurts when sprinting, doing high knees quickly, and especially when i bend my knee 90 degrees parallel to the ground and point my toes back. My p.t. and surgeon don't know what it could be from anyone else have a clue?
Sounds like hamstring tightness. Tell your PT to look up muscle energy techniques, reciprocal and autogenic inhibition of hamstrings, or progressive relaxation activities. Sounds like your hamstring is firing at end range.

Does having oral sex after vaginal sex bad for the women?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.228-07:00

I ask this because, my girlfriend and I frequently have sex, but we keep things simple like just vaginal sex, or just oral sex and that's it, or even oral sex, then vaginal sex, but not until recently she wanted to try oral sex after vaginal sex. I've seen pornographic movies of such, so I guess it's okay. I'm just worried about my girlfriend who was willing to do things to please me and turn me on, but more than anything I don't want to put any dangerous risk to her. That's why I told her I will never do anal with her, even though it's like every man's dream or at least for some. She was even willing to try it, but I said no. As for this, we've done it a couple times, because of the heat of the moment but now I want to make sure before continuing with it. Thanks.
You sound like a great guy and that you really care about your girlfriend. The only risk is if you two have any STDs. Then you risk catching it orally. But if both are clean then there is no risk. As for Anal sex, use lots of lube so you dont hurt her, and NEVER let her perform oral on you after you have been in the back door. She can get sick from the bactiria transfer. Also you shouldnt go from the front door to the back door and back to the front door. That can give her a UTI. Doesnt always happen but it can. If you do decide to try anal sex start slow dont force yourself inside her, you can hurt her. Slow at first untill you get full penitration and LOTS of lube, after that its alot like regular sex, But NEVER EVER oral after that. Have fun and enjoy each other.
I think it is risky that your girlfriend might have some bacterial infectious disease. There might be bacteria present in the vagina and the penis that might be swallowed by your girlfriend when you shift from vaginal intercourse to oral sex. There's a lot of sexual fun but be careful.
If both of you are sure you don't have a STD, there's nothing wrong with going from vaginal to oral, and some women even are turned on by their taste.

I commend you for not doing anal...I really don't know why someone would want to...maybe I'll post a question about that...
Provided that neither of you have any STDs then you are fine to do oral, anal or vaginal in any order you like. Your hands are probably filled with more germs than her vagina and you wouldn't think twice about putting your fingers in her mouth, would you?
Man, you got yourself a winner. As for the oral, STD's don't spawn out of thin air. If you guys are in a monogamous relationship, you in good shape. I hope you are monogamous, don't let a chick like that go to waste.
Yes, it does bad. One of my friends got oral herpes from having oral sex after vaginal sex. You may ask her at her blog on pozcupid .com
I wouldn't imagine there would be anything wrong with it.
Npthing wrong with going from vaginal to oral. Some women really like their own "taste."

Have fun!
Its harmless.

And i admire you for not wanting to do anal!
yea its fine.
yes it is.
i really dont see how this could hurt her...
nahh
I've been sexually active for 35 years it's never harmed me in any way. Many women hate kissing men after the men gave them oral sex wouldn't think of oral sex after vaginal sex. Other women desire it. As for me, it's not my favourite I don't really like it, but from time to time,it's fun to get messy! There's no harm in it, if you are both healthy.

By the way, I go for checkups with my gynaecologist every 3 years to make sure I'm in good health below. Also, it's good to steer away from anal penetration - it hurts can cause IBS (irritable bowel sydrome) Done it, been there don't recommend it.

Is this normal? (contacts)?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.227-07:00

I have a twitch in my eyebrow, knee, and/or muscle below my eye? What the h***? I just KNOW I'm going psychotic... and contacts, please answer, even though it's a random q, (Scene: ur not the only random person! ;) ) The only reason why I'm asking my contacts, instead of other peeps, is because I trust you guys with all my heart, well, most of you anyway!
Sometimes for some strange reason the muscles in the body will just twitch, I am not sure for the reasons of this but it is normal, it happens to so many people I know.

I trust you as well:D
Lol, it happens to me too. :P All the time. See? I posted a q about it a while ago.
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...
It's normal...I doubt you're any more phychotic than me... :)
It's probably just muscles moving as your body works or something too scientific for my brain to grasp, anywayz...

It happens to me in the same place, eyes, legs, wrist, etc...it's always happened to me, nothing to worry about. ^-^

17 can i grow?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.226-07:00

i already turned 17 on march and i have alot of leg hair and i have little facial hair when i shave it become prickly after a week
I am 5'75
My dad is 5'9
my mom is 5'3
my dads dad was 5'7

I was 5'5 exactly 2 years ago and now i am 5'75 so do you think i can gain 2 inches of height
Yes you can!
My brother was 5'6 or so in junior year and into his senior year hit 5'10. He just had his growth spurt very late. This was also surprizing because my dad is 5'5 and my mom is 5'0, so height is not readily avaiable in the gene pool.
On a side not he also got a pex, arms and six pack abs practically overnight... I was very angry at how we split our chromosomes. He went from waterboy to bench in one year (size didn't equate skill unfortunately).
Eat well, stay away from caffine, drugs, and alcohol, do excersies that involve more stretching and flexibility vice shock to you body (think yoga vice rugby).
Good luck, but if it happens it happens. I think 5'8 is a great height.
Hmmm regarding the facial hair , if its normal moustache or beard you can shave or trim it . My bf generally trims because he gets sensitivity and pimples because of the blade used for shaving , as for facial hair , he prefers to pluck them with a tweezer because the hair on the cheeks if you trim or shave them then your cheek region turns green and it doesnt look good !! And as for your height , you might still gain some height till 20-22 -ish because by now most of your bones have ossified , but there is still cartilage left in some joints like the shoulder joint , hip joint , knee joint which ossify at 17-20 years . Try playing some basketball , but i cannot promise you that you will gain some height , my teachers in school used to tell us in 7th grade to put a dot with a pencil on top of the door and try jumping and trying to reach it , apparently it would increase the height but i havent tried it out , good luck :)
5'7 is slightly above average, be proud. your nearly done growing so its unlikely you'll grow much more naturally. there is leg extension surgery but i hear its very painful.
Start hanging from you ankles every day for at least an hour.
Yes, boys sometimes dont stop growing till theyre 23-25
no cant grow after 14

Question about depression?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.225-07:00

I have never been diagnosed, but I feel like I'm stuck in a rut. No matter what kind of 'self' help I do, I am always sad, angry, and irritable. Sometime I have anxiety mixed in with it too. I just no got health insurace, so do I need to go see my physician first and she'll refer me or do they automatically prescribe you a bunch of meds? I don't want to be doped up. Thanks
As a person who has struggled with clinical depression all my life, I would strongly suggest you see a good psychiatrist NOT a general physician. Psychiatrists are physicians who specialize in psychology and can prescribe medications. My psychiatrist has an excellent knowledge of medications and found one (Paxil) that has worked for me for over 15 years. I take Paxil before I go to bed at night so I don't feel 'doped up' during the day

Best of luck to you.
Your primary care doctor will most likely refer you to a psychiatrist instead of treating you themself. I know that they use to treat people more frequently themselves, but a doctor told me about a year ago that they got much stricter about that. It sounds like you may need an anti-depressant or something and now a days there are alot of different types of medicines. When you go to the doctor or psychiatrist be sure to express your concerns about not wanting to feel doped up and if they are a good, caring doctor they will take that into consideration when deciding what medicine would be best for you. And if they give you something that you end up not liking or having a problem with, don't just stop taking it or give up. Alot of those types of medicines take awhile to get the full benefit and even if you wait awhile and still do not get the rsults you want or get bad side effects, they can try a new medicine for you. It may take a few tries before you get what you want or need! Good luck!
If you're diagnosed with depression..they will give you an anti depressant. Probably Zoloft,or Prozac.

Neither of them make you feel doped up,at least not me. I took Zoloft for a year on and off when I was 11 for depression. (Keep in mind that sometimes anti depressants *can* increase thoughts of suicide)

I hope you go see one,because it sounds like you are depressed. Good luck!

P.S-I went to the doctor when I was depressed,then they referred me to a psychologist.

You can either find a place that deals with depression and other mental illnesses or you can go to your doctor,either way will work..it is better than getting no help at all.
Would you rather have the depression and anxiety you are having now or give it at least a try on medication?
When diagnosed correctly and placed on the "Right" medications, you can feel much better.
Would you mind emailing me with what State you live in and your age? I am currently doing what I can with many different States in the U.S. to get State/Government Assistance for people who cannot afford medical/dental/optical insurance.

First of all - the last thing you need, is someone telling you to snap out of it. If you are asking the question you are already part way to recovery. For myself, if I am feeling really low or even depressed, I try to take my mind off my feelings with music or try to busy myself. Try to remember- there is always someone worse off than yourself- and if you do reach "rock bottom" -then the only way is up. Sometimes a good book can be uplifting too-even if you have already read it before.
I really hope this helps- sometimes just talking to someone close is enough and not all doctors prescribe drugs- a good one might have another solution for you, or maybe decide that short term you do need medication.
Best of luck, I will Pray for you....God Bless..... love Janet.
antidepressants will not leave you feeling "doped up"...you might experience some weird side effects to begin with but they go away after a few weeks. Antidepressants really help...if you find the right one or a combination of them...They will give you energy, motivation, a reason to continue...and you might also be referred to a therapist to talk about what's bothering you...or to be taught how to change the way you think.
Good Luck

Hard to breathe when im about to get my period/ when i already have it,.. is this normal?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.224-07:00

hmm?
asthmatics have more trouble around their periods,have ur dr test u for asthma.
feel better soon! Report It
The only thing I can think of is that when you get your period, the raised levels of the hormone Estrogen causes extra inflammation in your body. If you suffer from an auto immune disease, or any inflammatory disorder (like asthma), it can exacerbate it.
No, that's not normal. It might not be a huge problem either, but I would make an appointment to get it checked out.
That always happens to me, but I have asthma.

I've cried all day..Whats good for swollen eyes? So when I wake up Monday morning my eyes will be okay.?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.223-07:00

A good night's sleep and some cold packs around the eyes. Do not use chemical packs. The chemicals could leak and cause even more problems. Take a towel or wash cloth and put some cold or ice water on it. Or you can use an Ice Bag or a pack of frozen peas (wrap it in a towel first). Don't keep it on for more that 20 minutes, though.
tea bags pour hot water on them, then put them in the freezer until they are cold then put them on yah eyes or the fastest way is hemmeroid cream lol but it works the best!!!!!!
Take a Benadryl..it will reduce swelling and keep putting a cold wash cloth on every so often throughout the night. I hope tommorrow will be a better day.
Place slices of cuccumber over your eyes and try to relax, it calms down swollen eyes.

How can I get superglue off my teeth?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.222-07:00

I opened a tube of glue and it went all over my chin, lips, tongue and teeth. I've got it all off except for some on my teeth. Will it come off eventually with normal toothpaste? Its not bothering me at all, I just wondered.

And no, before you ask, I didn't open the glue with my teeth!
That darned stuff is crystalline in structure. It is like spun glass. Get a mirror and use your fingernail and flick at it. You'll be able to get an edge here and an edge there. The good news here is that the stuff is in a wet matrix (inside your mouth) and that will cause it to give up the ghost fairly soon anyway. Crazy glue is fragile. It tends to crack into small flake-like pieces and let go when wet, over time. Lucky you. In about a week, if even that long, 95% of what is bothering you will be gone. Relax. The annoying other 5% might take another whole week to be totally gone. Chewing food will also really help to get rid of all of it.
it should come off eventually, but you should be worried since when it dose come off you'll probably swollow it, and it has some freaky chemicals in there!

try to scrape it off with a wooden toothpick or somethink, dont use anythink metal or you will scratch your tooth.

*

haha, your lucky you didnt get it in your eye! that would have been 100x worse!
Today I glued my nail which had broken at the side. I then licked it to see if it was dry ended up with glue on my tongue which was wierd.
I hope that makes you feel better- although I'm still puzzled as to how you got it on your face.
I am absolutely fascinated by your question. You really must tell us all how this calamity took place. It will wear off in a day or two. I'm a model maker and frequently get superglue on me; you can usually pick it off the next day.
Cllean the teeth with alcohol 96. You can get this alcohol at your pharmacy or chemistry.
Try lighter fluid on a cotton bud, the glue is petrolieum based. When done brush teeth as normal.
the last time i checked, SUPER GLUE DOES NOT SQUIRT! so obviously you MUST HAVE opened it with ur teeth. :]
USE ACETONE OR NAIL POLISH REMOVER IN A Q-TIP WILL REMOVE THE SUPERGLUE.
hahahahahahah!
how the f u c k did that happen in the first place????

sounds a little too kinky for me
!!!
;-)
Which then brings us to the next question: exactly how did the glue end up in your mouth?

Just be glad you didn't get it in your eyes... umm... I'm not exactly sure if acetone or nail polish remover (which is basically a weaker concentration of acetone) is such a good idea to put in your mouth. I would think it would be better to try to brush it off with toothpaste, though it might take a while, and make sure to always spit and not swallow anything.

I mean, it's bad enough that super glue is in your mouth, I don't think it is such a good idea to be putting more foreign chemicals in your mouth. Acetone does break down super glue, and if it were on your hand or something, I would say go for it, but in your mouth, not such a good idea.

i have just bought K-Pro creatine and was wondering if it really works
i've never even heard of k-pro...its probably a sh*tty off-brand but i bet it kinda works....

i'd suggest spending more money and getting BSN Cellmass or MRI Blackpowder

***okay, this kid is an idiot...not every creatine is GOOD. pure creatine is way better than walmart brand....i'm trying to tell you the BEST creatine that will GIVE YOU RESULTS!
Creatine is a great product whatever brand it is. That first answer should be ignored. Most creatine should have about 5g per serve. And generally taken 3-4 times a day. But check the instructions.

I always choose pure creatine and have never gone wrong.

Morning after pill cost?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.220-07:00

I'm 17, How much would if I went to Planned Parenthood. Or is it possible for me to get a prescription at urgent care? IDK, I'm just really stressed out right now. Please anybody. no I can't go to my parents.
CVS, $50. dont know if you have to be 18, convinced the BF to buy it for me :)
I would call your local Planend parenthood to ask these questions. They will keep it confidential. In the future, please don't rely on the Morning after pill as a form of birth control. Thats irresponsible

Please somebody ill give points and best answers?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.219-07:00

how can i get a sixpack i im 12 not over weight and the bottom of my sixpack is there what to do now
Your on the right track mate. Exercise is the best thing for you. Unfortnately your abdominals are a tricky group to increase in size. Reducing body fat by doing more exercise will help show your abs. Dont worry about sit ups and core worry just yet.

Good luck
i shouldnt worry about it at the moment if ur only 12
just remember most girls dnt like massive muscle so dnt go nuts.

but try sit ups and crunches about 20 a day

also remember if u work ur 6 pack and get it all big, it may turn to fat if u dnt look after it
leg lifts, lay on your back and put your legs up in the air, keep them there for as long as you can, then slowly lower your legs a little at a time and hold again. do this until you cant do any more.
lie on your bed with you back half way off of it and your feel and legs on the bed. bend back so your head goes down to the floor. then do crunches from there. that should help :)
Your body needs to mature a bit more. Abdominal crunches will help you out, as will cutting back on fat and unhealthy food, however give it time.
workout everyday
crunches one day and leg lifts on another day, but mix it up because your body gets used to things it does everyday
Do crunches or many sit ups. At 12 you have nothing to worry about, 12 year olds don't need or have six packs.
Well, i got my six pack from doing sit ups. Just keep doing those , and variations of crunches. You'll get there, there is no shortcuts.
-Gio
do 3 sets of 30 situps in the morning and at night. Cut down on the junk food. give me the points
crunches. 200 of them. Im 14, and i do 200 a day, and it has helped me soooo much!
Just do sit up 10 minutes straight, 3 times a day for 1 month, you should have a nice !eight! pack
Do lots of situps
bicycle crunch, reverse crunch and the plank

What is "borderline" schitzophrenia like and how does alcohol or smoking affect people with this disease?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.218-07:00

and do people with this disease seriously alternate back and forth?

what causes this to happen and how long do the periods generally last for?

why and how so?

Thanks for your answers!

p.s. anyone who can give a brief definition to this disease and how it is similar or differant to "manic- depression" would be appreciated.
think of really over dramatic and attention seeking people, who participates in risky behavior, tries to fit in, types, ie, Anna Nicole Smith. Someone like her might be considered borderline.

Sometimes drugs and alcohol can lead to schizophrenia, it will last forever, but can be managed with medications. Whether they stay on their meds will determine whether they alternate.

Manic dep. is someone who goes through periods of being really, really hyperactive, then goes through periods of being super depressed.
If you are talking about a disease where people 'alternate' back and forth between different personalities, that is dissociative identity disorder, formerly known as multiple personality disorder. Yes, they really do switch between totally different personalities, and there can be more than two, some have dozens of personalities. This caused my marriage breakdown. Schizophrenia is a mental illness characterised by hallucinations, not multiple personalities. Borderline personality disorder is something else again.

Dissociative identity disorder is generally considered to be caused by physical, sexual or emotional abuse at a very young age. The child 'distances' themselves to protect themself and then creates another person to take the abuse ih their place. This process of fragmentation can occur more than once.

the disease is characterised by deception, including self-deception, and the unit as a whole can be very good at deceiving itself and the owrld at large. the original personality, the 'host', is often unaware of what is happening and may wake in places not knowing what day it is or how they got there with gaps in their memory - these are periods during whcih another personality was in control. there is no way to preduct when or how a switch will occur or for how long it will last.

The disorder generally worsens with increasing stress and life changes can cause a 'meltdown', where another personalit takes control and remains in control. This typically occurs after an extended period of increased switching, often chracaterised by impulse buying, excessive spending, especially on credit, and infidelity.

It can be treated with therapy, but the process is long and painstaking and can be resisted by the alters (other personalities) who see the therapy process as an attempt to 'destroy' them as individuals. there is no drug therapy available.

Manic depression, or bipolar, is a mental illness chracaterised by bouts of clinical depression mixed with periods of 'mania' or times when the sufferer feels untouchable and on top of the world. This can also be characterised by excessively fast thinking or talking and high periods of creativity.
I'm no doctor but i believe it is when a person has delusions that they can no longer determine if they are real or not.
most are affected by voices in there heads telling them to do things and saying all kinds of stuff.
they some times can feel people are out to get them and often will say its not them who are ill but the people around them.
we really don't know what causes people to suffer from this, it might be something past down from your parents or messing with strong drugs.
once a person is on medicine they are normally fine but the problem is the pills do make people feel very sluggish so they stop taking there pills thinking they are OK now, but they get ill again. hope this helps
the parallel of schizophrenic episodes and bipolar disorder remains halucinations and a separation from reality.
this occurs in severe manic or depressive episodes.
with schizophrenia, the halucinations are consistantly present without mood swings...

substance abuse can impact a persons mental illness in a negative manner-higher highs and lower lows.
more intense hallucinations...

hope this helps.
im bipolar
with mild schizophrenia
im succesful in life
im loved, and i love.
i like a few drinks
and some ciggies

so far i have done well

cheers, brother. yeeeeeech!
their third eye is swinging right open and they are very receptive to things other people may not see or hear sometimes painfully sensitive, alcohol can heighten this state so can smoking drugs
They often drink to self medicate.
Schizophrenia. Some people including me believe that there is no such illness and certainly no such disease. It was a name given by the psychiatry profession for a human condition they could not accurately define or treat. Mental health problems are usually caused by environmental problems, such as stress, physical, sexual or emotional abuse. We can all suffer these in our lives espacially stress. The whole mental health industry (because thats what it has become) has been taken over and undermined by the drug companies. My son was at university where he could no longer cope with emotional pressures he was exposed to. He returned home and we tried to get him some counselling. HIs GP arranged this for him but the first available appointment was in 4 months time. How pathetic is that. He felt unable to cope so returned to his GP. He was put onto the anti-depressant Cipramil. Within hours of taking it he got worse and within three days became psychotic. The Cipramil had increased his anxiety to the point where his brain literally went into melt-down. He was sectioned and put onto anti-psychotic medication. We just wanted him to be looked after until the effects of the Cipramil had worn off, but they think they know better. Six years of drug induced psychosis followed. He had all the classic symptoms of Schizophrenia and we gave up hope of him ever living a normal life. My wife did lots of research into drugs and found that there is a growing groundswell of opinion that not only are the drugs ineffective but they actually maintain people in a psychotic state. It takes a long time to wean someone off them and it is a dangerous time. The cases you hear of people who commit some horrible crime and they say he had stopped taking his medication are now common. It took us years of reducing the drugs by tiny amounts every day to get my son off these poisonous substances. You cannot suddenly come off them. My advice is never go on them. My son has been drug free now for approx 8 mnonths and he has returned to the young man we knew and loved. His psychiatrist advised us to virtually abandon him and leave him in their care. He would be dead if we had listened to that advice. If you have problems in your life try and find alternative ways to deal with them. Don't accept a diagnosis of schizophrenia. BEWARE OF DRUGS (MEDICATION OR STREET DRUGS) One thing we have learned is that the brain has plasticity. In other words it will correct itself from any temporary imbalance. Time and understanding are the best cures. I hope that my son can now cope with the added trauma of the "mad" years he had to suffer and continue to recover his life. Do some research on the internet. See some peoples comments about the anti-depressants and other medications they were given (youtube). Empower yourself and live in hope.

Tried everything but cant stop smoking.when get the urge forget my decision.can anyone help pls?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.217-07:00

been trying to quit for many years. i know all the routine tips. i know when i get the urge i should try doing some work or pop in a toffee,but what i do is light up. i don't keep packs of the stick.i go out and byu singles as is available.but i cant quit. i know i can because i have entirely deciplined myself,except for this.
I remembered when i promised my girlfriend that i'll not smoke anymore.., i really didnt smoked for several months. I dont how i controlled myself but promises really works... try doing something same..
i used to be a smoker and it took me a few times before i quit for good.This is a hard habit to break,but can be done.you might want to list all of the reasons why you want to quit,also write down all of the benefits of doing so.as you know smokers develope lung disease,which affect you for life,it even shortens the life span of a person.you might also want to talk to your family doc and see what he may recommend there's many options out there,you could even join a group for people who have quit smoking.
Hey, I know just how you feel....I quit a year and a half ago. Everytime I had a craving ( which was every 1/2 hour) I drank water, brushed my teeth, ate, talked to myself about why I was quiting, called my wife and she talked me through it, etc. Let me tell you, the cravings were hot and heavy but they became fewer and fewer as the weeks went by. I gained 40 lbs but feel so much better and I dont smell. My wife and daughter love my kisses and I can excercise without feeling breathless. Its a year and a half later and I cant believe I used to be a smoker. Just take it one craving at a time and BE STRONG. You can do it. I did. I smoked for 22 years and stopped; cold turkey. Forget cutting down, etc. Just throw them away, full stop. You have to have the right mind set. You have to really WANT to quit. Good luck yaar!
See a doctor and go on the various helps, like nicotine gum, nicotine patch.

Slowly lower the dose of nicotine.

WILL POWER and few trick will help, invent them to suit your life style.

It is not an easy habit to let go, most people make few attempt at quiting and are always successful after some attempts.

But keep some water on hand and drink it, keep the smoking material under the water bottle so you have to pick up the water first. Put a bold note on the water bottle "NO SMOKING"
u know well that''Nothing is impossible everything is possible"so don't upset try to leave it once more time.just do one thing connect it with any link like if u do it will happen like this
one more thing dont quit it immediate quit it slowly.
well. everytime u want to smoke think of something important, and that important person is u. just think how much damage u r doing to ur self. if u not going to care 4 urself u is?
and c what happens.
I agree with Sanjay, Stay away from your smoking friends
by doing something until they finish smoking or encourage them to stop quit.
watch the movie no smoking it might help..........also prey God will help you.............as long as you are willing to be helped.

Feel Fat...?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.216-07:00

i am a recovering anorexic and have finally gotten to my ideal weight - 5'4" 118 pounds
but i feel soooo fat
i know that i'm not
and yes i lift weights
but when i look in the mirror i envy what i looked like a month ago
how can i change this??
btw whenever i feel fat i think of starving myslef which i drown out with binging
not good
Good for you for getting back to an ideal weight! It is so hard getting over a bad eating habit, in your case, a bad "not" eating habit. I am 34 years old and have struggled with my self-image for a good portion of my life. For years I was obsessive, working out for hours every day, hardly eating at all. To say I'm completely over it would be silly, but I can say I'm a lot better than I used to be. The best thing you can do for yourself is look at your numbers logically. You know on paper 118 pounds is NOT fat even if that's not what you feel. Second of all, is you need to have someone hide the scale so you're not weighing yourself every minute of the day. That's doing nothing but making you obsess more. It's a hard habit to break, but do-able. I weigh myself once a week. If I don't, I start to worry I'm gaining and get freaky. A week is enough to make it not a high priority, but not too much that it's all you think about. Thirdly, you need to get active--meaning involved. Obsessing over your weight is an addiction. You need to reprogram your mind by getting involved in something like volunteering, writing stories, painting, etc so you're not so focused on those numbers. THAT is what helps me. You can do this, and please, don't listen to that HORRIBLE message that said you were fat. That person doesn't realize what a lifelong struggle this is. Be proud of yourself. Enjoy the energy I'm sure you didn't have a month ago. Try not to waste your life worrying about the numbers on a scale. Life is not long, try to find something to make it worth while! Good luck to you sweetie.
you have to learn that there is always going to be a voice in the back of your head telling you that you are fat.... However you have to get past it... Just think if you are fat what would be the worse thing..... People will still love you. you have to just love yourself first...Just be your self and the rest will not matter and for people like Fire Blade 24, they are just jerks who want to hurt people. You can't let the negativity get to you or the voice telling you that you are fat is going to win. Don't listen to it... I don't even know you and i already know you are beautiful because you are trying to change your life for the better. Beauty has different meanings, you don't have to be a size two to be wanted and pretty, you can be pretty just being your normal self. So, don't give up on what you have already accomplished by starving yourself. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
I dont know if this is very helpful but, ive always had trouble putting on weight, i feel discusting and boney when my weight drops, its definitely not attractive and all the guys i know would prefer a girl with a bit of meat on her...after having my son i feel good with how i look because ive finally got some weight on me and i feel sexier than ever! I can fit into clothes better and i get heaps more 'looks' from guys lol.
I dont work out or anything and my boyfriend loves the way i look....im not fat, but im not skinny anymore either ive got a gorgeous squishy belly and a great *** (not one of those flat boxy asses) so.....yeah.....im about your height and im about 55-60kg. CURVES ARE SEXY its the truth!
You sound perfect to me! I know exactly what you are going through. Im a recovering anorexic, and i have those feelings every day. You just have to tell yourself that it is your eating disorder talking nonsense. You should be so PROUD of yourself. You are such a strong person for being able to overcome this.I actually envy you for your strength. I wish i had as much courage as you do. Just remember that you are now sooooo much healthier than you were before, and your future is so much brighter.

Take care and stay strong!
if you havnt learned, starving yourself is THEE worst thing. Without food your body will just eat away at your muscle, Thhhen at fat on your body, and you'll be unhealthy looking.
Your gonna wanna work out and get as much muscle as possible so it burns away fat, and your not going to Feel fat anymore.
-Dont starve yourself at all though. Eat a bunch of small meals spread out. You wont feel really gross full all the time, i know how that feels,.. and you'll still have calories to burn if you eat a little bit.
You're not fat, you're just a bit used to being dangerously skinny. Train your mind to see yourself now as 'normal' and it'll get better over time. But don't overeat, and don't *not* eat. It's better to be healthy overall anyway, than to focus on weight. If you're in good shape it doesn't matter what you weigh.
I wish I was that size... I have been overweight my whole life but I would never ever starve myself.... You are not fat at all and you need to wake up and see that you are beautiful the way you are. Don't put yourself down bring yourself up and be happy with whom you are the way you are. And you are 5'4" 118lbs.... that is you accept it
when you feel fat go for a run..its much better because usually you can avoid feeding yourself but its much easier for your body to stop yourself..so whenever you think of starving, think of running.
sometimes i feel like im fat too but when you look at other people you notice that no one is extremly skinny without looking sick!!! also that it is healthy to have some fat and it can sometimes look cute!!
That seems like the perfect weight to me. You always may have that feeling but you can fight through it. YOU ARE NOT FAT... you know that it's all in your head.
You are very skinny!
Just eat healthy, 3 meals a day, and continue to work out.
Don't give in to mental weakness, you will and can overcome this feeling.

Good luck! :)

Does anyone know if there is a Japanese symbol for moya moya disease?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.214-07:00

もやもや病

That is the symbol. The first four characters are hiragana (moyamoya) and the last symbol is kanji for disease. Hope this helps.

I hope you can see the Japanese characters on your screen. You may not see them if you don't have the asian support for windows. If not, try going here: http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82%82%E...

How many hours should you wait?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.213-07:00

You know how some people have to take medications once a day but they love to drink........

How many hours after you took the meds can you drink alchohol(say you take the meds at night) Or how many hours do you have to wait to drink after taking meds?
Since your doctor is paid to make sure he takes good care of you, it's his job to answer that question as he has to deal with the problems if you do it wrong.

so... ask your doctor...
you can also ask your pharmacist when you pick up the medicine, or call him back later and ask him...

you see, how long you have to wait depends on the medication, and how much it might interact with alcohol. That varies greatly from one medicine to another.
cw
Insufficient information:
1. What's the medication in question? It has a half-life meaning how long in hours before half of it is out of your system. Need to know that.
2. How much are you planning to drink usually? For people who drink only 1-3 drinks, it's usually ok and safe with most medications. But people who drink heavily will be interfering with the meds and maybe inviting disaster. Quit drinking for a few days, or if you can't, ask your doc to give you a different medication if one is available.

In other words, not a good question for Yahoo Answers, because it asks for medical knowledge that only doctors have.
Depends on what the medication/s is/are.

Some are absolutely contraindicated to mix with alcohol. Please speak to your pharmacist about it.
I take medicine at 9:00 pm and 9:00am do not drink unless I don't take med's what do you take.? usually on the bottle it will say do not drink with alchohol it can really mess with the brain your sleep !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wash the pills down with alcohol

How common is this disorder

2008-08-28T20:29:00.212-07:00

Diagnosis/testing.

Classic Cockayne syndrome (CS) is diagnosed by clinical findings including postnatal growth failure and progressive neurologic dysfunction along with other minor criteria; atypical cases may require molecular genetic testing.

The two genes responsible for Cockayne syndrome are ERCC6 (75% of individuals) and ERCC8 (25% of individuals). Sequence analysis for both genes is clinically available.

Cockayne syndrome is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. The parents of an affected child are both obligate carriers of an abnormal gene. Heterozygotes are asymptomatic. Each Sib of a proband has a 25% chance of being affected, a 50% chance of being an asymptomatic carrier, and a 25% chance of being unaffected and not a carrier.

Reproduction has not been reported in any individual with CS. Carrier detection in at-risk family members is available on a clinical basis once the mutations have been identified in the proband. Prenatal testing may be available through laboratories offering custom prenatal testing.

You can read more on this disorder on the following attached site:

Has anyone really been cured of social anxiety?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.211-07:00

focus on stuff that makes you proud.
heartfelt proud.
if you love yourself then others will feed off of the positivity.
in the context of your question-it can be.
i dont have it so im not sure..
take care and may god bless...
I don't think it ever really goes away, I think you can just learn to cope better with it. If you have social anxiety, you'll always have those feelings of being out of place and insecure, but I think eventually with help and/or medication, you'll be able to control those emotions and learn to have a more rational way of thinking.
Yes. This may be the help you need.

http://www.articledesk.info/Article/Ment...

It helped me.
I wouldn't exact say that I've been "cured" but I'm a hell of a lot better at managing it now...esp since I've been in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
No. You are Never "cured" once diagnosed. You take medication and/or learn with time how to better cope with this and other disorders.
I'm not sure if people are entirely cured, but I think that some can learn to deal with it better. But no, I don't think that fear can every go away completely.
Medication halted the anxiety.
only with the help of medication!!

What is a normal waist line for a 13 year old boy?

What is a normal waistline for a 13 year old boy, i am short (4,7 feet)
I don't know if there is a 'normal', the guys at my school (12-15) are all over the place size-wise. Being in shape is better than focusing on weight or size.

What do you think about anti

2008-08-28T20:29:00.209-07:00

For people who need them, they are indispensable. People are happier, sleep less, socialize better and are more balanced.

-MM
I know people that take them and they really help a lot. It's a coping devise and not meant to correct all your problems, but it helps you take more control of your life and your feelings and lets you manage your life.
You still have problems and need to talk to someone about them, but they do help in many ways.
A lot of people are embarrassed to take them or admit they need some extra help, but the longer you wait the more depressed you will become.....and the longer it will take you to get your life back on track
you cant orgasm when youre on Zoloft.
i think thats pretty damn depressing
i think they are good..my mom used to take them and she was so much better when she was on them than when she wasnt..
love them

Do I need hip surgery?! Help I'm very scared! Only 13?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.208-07:00

Friday, I was doing dance class. When I went home my hip started hurting.Its my left hip. It is now Sunday. I'm ok when sitting down, but now I'vw been sitting down for a while, and my hip now really hurts when I walk, so much that i'm slumped over to my left side. I'm only 13 and I'm really scared, should I get an x-ray?
You don't say how vigorous your dance session was. If it was very vigorous, you may have injured yourself. The most severe problem, in your age group is a slipped femoral capital epiphysis. (SCFE) That is the growth center between the femur and the ball that fits into the hip socket.

Now that being said, that can be unlikely. You probably have an ordinary strain or overuse injury. I would wait for two weeks. Any Orthopedic Surgeon would, also, because most injuries will heal on their own in that period of time. If, however, you have pain in any position, and if you cannot bear any weight on that leg, then you need an X-Ray.

Hope this helps. I have a link to SCFE below
Ya get an X-ray. It probably is nothing serious, but get it checked out just in case. Apply heat and ice to it, that usually helps pain.
See a doctor. This could be a muscle/tendon problem or something with the bone. I doubt you'll need any surgery.

Bladder stone and cystoscopy question?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.207-07:00

hey guys, i m 17 and i hav a bladder stone its 0.7 mm. i have a surgery in 7 days my doctor said he will put a tube in my penis to my bladder and use a laser to break it.
and last year he put the camera inside my penis and my bladder to see the stone. but now he will break it
so my question is ...
are they same procedure? did any one removed their stone like that?
and how much pain???
They will insert the small laser into your bladder through your penis and then the laser will break the bladder stone into tiny pieces. I am not sure whether you will experience any pain in passing the tiny pieces but you need to ask your doctor about this. Be sure to drink lots of water after they break it up.

Another important question to ask is Why are you forming bladder stones? You need to find this out so you can avoid future problems. It may be as simple as drinking more water. Ask them to analyze the stones to see what they are made of.

Also, make sure you have a good urologist who is willing to answer your questions and help you through this as you are a young guy and have to be worried.
Good luck.

Does having a dog prolong your life?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.206-07:00

i heard somewhere that having a dog prolongs your life. if this is true how would it be possible, and can you provide any sources that i could read to learn more about this?
Owning a pet can be a great way to stay healthy! Pets are great companions, and owning a dog creates demands for physical activity. Check out the article below - you might find it interesting.
What I've heard is that because of the companionship a dog provides and dogs make most people happy having a dog prolongs your life--so, actually being happy prolongs your life? sorry I don't have any sources.

I am 12 years old and in grade 7 i am 4ft 10in and i weigh 95 is that normal??

2008-08-28T20:29:00.205-07:00

yeah, thats perfectly healthy! : )
according to your BMI (body mass index) you are almost underweight http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/bmi/adul...
i checked your information on a bmi (body mass index) calculator and you are in "normal range." this means you are perfect the way you are! don't worry about it, you're average. not to skinny and not to big. hope this helps!
Yes, your BMI (Body Mass Index) is of 19.9, (you can find calculators online for future reference).

Less than 18 is underweight
18 to 25 is healthy
25 to 30 is overweight
30 and over is obese

Congrats!
totally normal. one of my friends is exactly the same age, weight, and height and she is perfectly healthy.
Yes, it is normal but if you want to gain more weight, I suggest you to eat more and exercise more.
for sure. you really cant let a chart tell you whats a heathy weight. im 16 and only weigh 103. but im perfectly healthy.
Yes your practically a midget sounds normal to me.
A doctor has an average weight/height/age graph chart. Just talk to your doctor to get the real answer.
Yes you will grow bigger.
Perfect! Keep up the healthy work!
Sounds great!
yep!

Are you an indigo child or do you know one or crystal?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.204-07:00

are you psychic or have psychic abilities. How would one do a differential diagnosis of them over autism. I am just curious more then anything and interested, I don't anyone that i know of with either.
They say that indigo children have very soulful eyes, have premonitions at an early age, have dreams that usually come true. They are in this earth to change the way humans think.

Crystal children will benefit from the foundation set about by the indigo children.

The difference between the autistic and crystal child? The crystal child reaches out to others. The site below discusses these further.
indigo child is just another term helicopter parents use to convince everyone their little monster is sooooo much more special and perfect than anyone elses little brat.every one i kno has an "indigo child" who is also supposedly "a gifted student."yeah.right.a nation of little geniuses.except they beat each other up and put it on utube,and they cant pass exams.

I work until 5p.m. then make dinner. When is a good time for me to exercise,before or after dinner?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.202-07:00

I am starting to exercise and I don't get home from work until 5p.m. Then I have to make dinner for the family so when is the best time for me to exercise..before dinner or after?
During the summer when it is nice long days, i'd say after, approximently 7 or 8 so you can digest your meal, for myself i generally go before dinner, however sometimes i'm so hungry and don't get the best workout in, so i try to eat a banana or an apple if i'm in that situation before my workout (something light otherwise you won't feel so well)
hey, are you exercising to try and lose weight, like a diet, or just because you want to get fit? well my advice would be to exercise before dinner. If you exercise before dinner then your metabolism will rise and burn off the food quicker than it would otherwise. Also, when you exercise, your body changes out of a "fat storage mode," and therefore the sugars and fats you consume will not be absorbed into your bloodstream as easily. Exercising up to 12 hours before a meal is the best way to stay in shape. This is why so many people exercise in the mornings, so that their daily food consumption won't affect their body shape as easily. And if your not wanting to lose weight, i would still recommend eating before dinner, because after dinner you will be full and probably not in the mood to exercise. Therefore, you will probably find yourself skipping your exercise regime frequently. Good luck! By the way, this is a researched answer, I just didn't list the sources because for some reason firefox isn't displaying the URL's. But google it and you'll see for yourself. Other weight loss tips include:

Eat vinegar before food.
Lowest carbohydrates is good.
Caffeine isn’t good before meals, but however, it is good away from meals.
Fruit and eggs are good.
Chromium Picolinate is good. 400mg.
Exercise is best done 12 hours before food.
Phaseolus Vulgaris is good. 1500mg.

Natural, unartificial foods are good.
Metamucil / laxatives is good for lessening fat storage.

Hope i helped :-)
after that way you can burn off the excess calories

Migraine headaches?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.201-07:00

i've been suffering with migraines since i was 7
now they been getting more frequent and now to the point where i am getting dizzy and feeling sick to my stomach. my vison also seems to become blurry but when i don't have the headaches i have 20/15 vision (yes i have been to the eye doctors). i try to take medication but nothing seems to work anymore and the headaches seem to last for days
any help or suggestions you have would be greatly appricated
I've had them since I was about 12, and also am very resistant to the triptans that are commonly prescribed. The symptoms can manifest themselves differently over time, even getting as severe as stroke-like symptoms (e.g. can't speak or write, confusion, very scary). I'm usually "hung-over" for about 2-4 days. The neurologists are going to keep firing medications at you, eventually including blood pressure meds. If it were me, I would diligently track what when I was eating and drinking, and my mood around the time you get one (I'm unbelievably absent-minded in the days before one).

With me, we finally found my ultimate triggers to be stress and caffeine. After YEARS of befuddled doctors and ineffective meds, decaf coffee fixed it. Try the simple, but hard to find causes, and maybe this can circumvent formal treatment. Remember, it's far easier for a neurologist to prescribe something than to really get down to nitty-gritty cause and effect, so you must take this responsibility on yourself. Good luck busting the Migraine Devil!
Should definitely be under a doctors care. Have you tried to eliminate food as a trigger? It takes a lot of bookkeeping to write down EVERYTHING that you eat, but sometimes pays off. I am allergic to alkoloids that trigger my headaches. They are found in any alcoholic beverage, and chocolate. MSG is the other know trigger and very common. Some restaurants use cheap food or an open salad bar and bathe their foods in MSG to enhance the flavor or make them appear edible longer. It may take some extensive test but usually a cause can be found, even medically.
I would see your Dr about the change in your headaches. Mention the dizziness and the blurry vision also.
You may just need some different medication? But it is always best to report any changes.
GO TO THE DOCTORR!!!!

get better soon );
pl see what suits you.
If you are in cold country use all warm things.

If you have cough/cold body hot water bath will help.
Massage and exercise in front of morning sun is good thing, pl try.
Pl try simple acupressure given below for immediate relief.
If it fails you will have to go for Acupuncture.

There is hardly any medicine for H/A OR MIGRAINE. Not only these but for RA, OA, Back ache, Ear ache/ringing, Stomach ache and almost all painful diseases. Hence they become chronic.

Acidity, WORRY, sadness, excessive wind, cold , heat, sour food and sinusitis, constipation, intestinal inflammation; drug side effects, stress, bad smell, TV COMPUTER SOMETIMES, Blockage in the flow of Vital Energy, BODY CONSTITUTION etc are their causes.
None of them can be treated with medicine.
Our 100% success in treating migraine H/A confirms it.

Acupuncture is the best treatment.
I can treat it with naturopathy and YOG, but how can you manage pl see.

Pain killers don't treat the pain but we loose the sense of pain for some time; in that duration our body itself treats sometime and credit goes to meds.
The useless drugs have tremendous power of side effects like liver/kidney failures, ulcer, inflammation of intestines and lot more.

Avoid late sleeping if possible; worry, tension, spicy foods, sour fruits, stale bakery foods, SMOKING and alcohole.

Sweet foods, COCOANUT WATER,sweet fruits like dates, milk, rice, SPROUTS, SALADS and good sleep will help if cough is not there.

But you try one herbal remedy- two drops of drumstick leaves' juice in opposite nostril if one side pains and both nostrils if full H/A will give you rescue. Betel leaf helps but it is very strong.

If it is acute pl search a painful point (with round tipped pen/jimmy) 3-6 mm behind your thumb nail and press it, H/A will disappear within 30 seconds.

For forehead/eye pain the points are in front of nails on the finger tips or 3-7 mm below.

It may disappear naturally too.

Is fiber suggestable for someone with IBS W/O the usual symptoms?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.200-07:00

The most-understandable way for me to ask this is: I have IBS whose only symptoms that remain is occasional nausea and very rare abdominal pain. I want to take fiber supplements again (for overall digestive health) but would it be recommended? I know fiber can spark the intestinal muscles to become more active but, that seems to be what caused the symptoms in the first place! I hope this makes sense. LOL Any thoughts?
I would think that soluble fiber might be helpful but insoluble fiber is likely to trigger spasms.

There are two good books I would recommend for you: The First Year: IBS and Eating for IBS by the same author, Heather Van Vorous.

She does a good job describing comfort foods/ trigger foods and why. It will be a good guide to an attempt to add more fiber.

Good luck!
There are multiple causes and forms of IBS. Extreme abdominal pain could be more serious diseases so it is important that you are sure which diagnosis you really have.

Is a list of 61 things EVERY IBS sufferer should know.
Also, fiber does not spark the muscles but rather aids in the process of digestion.

Lift Weights?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.199-07:00

anyways im a really weak guy
like i srsly have no muscle in my upper body
i cant pick up the bar from the lifting thing
and i can barely carry a water gallon( 2)
what can i start doing at home to build some muscle
will it bum fat from my ears or what /
start doing push-ups. do your max and try to do one more every day until you are strong enough to lift light weights
simply eat some form of protein at every meal for a week then start lifting

if your embarresed about it go to a gym and hire a personal trainer who will make you feel normal and not embaress you but instead motivate you

When i run hard i get a terrible cramp it's awful!!?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.198-07:00

it's either on my right or left side below my ribcage it depends sometimes it varies

each time i run more and more it only hurts worse and takes more time to go away
you need potassium before you start running try to eat a few bananas before every run
DO NOT RUN THROUGH IT. Body pain is a signal that something is wrong, and you should slow down and walk for a minute or two. That being said, it's nothing serious! I read that people tend to exhale when they land on their right foot, thus jolting the liver, and this can cause the muscles around it in your abdomen to cramp. Try inhaling on your right foot steps and exhaling on left foot steps (not every single one...like every 3rd step...if you understand?) Also make sure you haven't had too much or too little water.
i get that too.....it is perfectly normal, don't worry about it. U just need to keep pushing urself, and then ur body will get used to the running. I kno it hurts, but if u don't it will just continue to get worse.

if your appendix burst how much time do you have to get to the hospital before you could die
I burst mine when i was like 5, 8 years ago and they didn't know that it was burst and it was burst for about 5 days beofre they found out and then if i didnt get the surgery i wouldve died so just go as fast as you can to the ER
maybe i can help... My burst inside of me when i was 12. I went to a dr twice when it was inflamed she told me it was my glands. A week later i seen another dr and he said its my appendix and called an ambulance. i went into surgery straight away but there was nothing left the surgeon hadnt seen anything like it. The estimated it being burst for aprox. 72hrs so 3 days. They didnt think i was gonna make it they stuck draining tubes in me and hoped for the best. Im now 22 so 10 years later im still alive but i have to have ops every 3 years because of adheasions from the mess it made. So to answer you question it is possible to live but everyone is different and everybodys body will react different there is on set time. I was one of the lucky ones. If you think its about to burst go straight to a hospital dont sit around
This depends on the individual's size, age and current health status. A ruptured appendix will relieve immediate pain but the peritonitis that follows takes time to develop. It can, in some cases, take several weeks for the infection to reach a stage at which it becomes bothersome. But, again, there's no hard and fast timeline. However, peritonitis is a surgical emergency and you would have exquisite pain and abdominal rigidity. You would not be able to tolerate it and so would get yourself to an ER right away. Complications develop rapidly. Consequences of untreated peritonitis are shock and death.

If what you were hoping for was "Oh, well, you'd have about 3 hours" you're not going to get an answer like that.
This is a difficult question to answer, but a ruptured appendix is a true emergency. Once it ruptures a pt can become septic very quickly and it depends on how well they can fight the sepsis
Not very long. You would have to go immediately.
GO FAST!
OMG! cara

can you loose weight by exercising more but not changing your diet?
i want to loose weight - tighten up, but i dont want to change my diet. i am willing to do exercise every day, but would it be enought?
Amount matters. If you are doing enough exercise and have enough muscle then yes. But thats a low case scenario that applies only to a few, like professional runners and swimmers.
You can lose weight by excersing alone of course but just jogging might not be the answer for everyone, you might need to do some abs(which will help you slim down in the midsection) But dieting can be easy though, just by cutting out soda can help, you dont need to go overboard and stop eating desert. you need something that burns calories at a good rate pretty much but just remember to replace those calories with some thing good.
well it depends on what kind of diet ur on.
if you eat unhealthy food at least 3 times a week then
i don't think exercise will help you. you need to watch what
you eat as well.

Recovering from viral meiningits?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.195-07:00

Im just wondering if this is normal...Well i started getting sick bout 2 weeks ago it started off as a throat infection i was put on antibiotics but i started to get really sick my neck started to hurt when i tryed to touch my chin to my chest, my head ached non stop the lights were too much. Fevers are driving me nuts and i cant keep any food down. Well i went to the hospital on wednesday and they did 2 lumber punchers (spinal taps) because they werent sure if it was bacterial or viral they were concerned because i had antibiotics they said it could have partically treated it. The tests came back and they told me it was viral meningitis they kept me in hospital that night and had me on the drip and monitered me. The dr said it usually lasts 10 days and i can go home but come back in 2 days to make sure im doing ok. well its been just over a week sense i first had the stiff neck and fevers and im feeling abit better but my muscles in my back are aching alot is this normal?
It may take up to a month to get rid of nerve irritation from the viral agent. You should call your doctor discuss if he thinks pain medication or muscle relaxers may be indicated to treat the aching pain..

Did you go back to the doctor in 2 days as the doctor suggested you do after the hospital stay?

To be cautious,make another appointment get a re-check.

I think it might be a phase depending on your age. If this helps...

Don't care what people think about you. Most of them either look at you because they just see you, look at you because your pretty, look at you because they like/dislike your wardrobe. And you know what? That's okay if they like/dislike how you look. All that matters is that you like it. Try to make yourself not be a perfectionist. Maybe set a time limit for yourself to get ready?

I hope that helps. ^^

It sounds like you have obsessive compulsive disorder (or for short OCD). It would be good if you done a google search on this to find out more about it. It would be helpful to you to seek professional advice and help from a counsellor or psychologist. The ones that specialise in behaviour are probably going to be the best for OCD.
your just obsessive compulsive....thats normal, but if you want to stop its going to be hard for you since you do that alot!

Set yourself a goal of every day when you have something to get done, you have to do it by three hours after you get home. Make believe you have to have it by that time rather than the next day. Give yourself a reward if you get the job done ahead of time but if you don't, you have to pay a fine for not doing it. Make it hurt if you don't do it and really nice if you get it done. Get in a habit of it and you will find it comes a lot easier. Good luck.

My son is now 3 and from the minute his circumcision healed I noticed something just didn't seem right so I addressed it with the pediatrician several times. Everytime he would assure me that there was nothing to be concerned about and it would look more normal as he grows. Instead of the circumcision beginning to look better it only seemed to get worse so the pediatrician finally referred me to a pediatric urologist. He not only agreed that the doctor messed his circumcision up but my son now has to undergo a surgery lasting almost and hour to repair the problem. The sad thing is the same thing has happened with my 2 year old but his is not as bad, he will be seeing the urologist soon, yes the same doctor did them both. Can the doctor who did the oringinal circumcision be held liable?
Yes, a doctor can be liable for a bad circumcision. They're also supposed to give you all the pros and cons, potential benefits and risks, before you're allowed to consent to any procedure. If you didn't get any info prior to having your sons circumcised, you can hold the physician who did it liable for that as well. That can be serious malpractice there.

Too many people often assume that it's correct when a mistake may have been done, because the doctor assured them. Mistakes do happen, and more often than one would think.
If you had this happen to your first son, why did you put your second son through it?

While I suppose you might be able to pursue some legal action, I'm not quite so sure because you signed that waiver saying you WANTED the circumcision done. So, hey, you got what you asked for and everybody knows that circumcision has risks.

I'm glad you learned your lesson, but it's unfortunate that it had to be at the expense of not one, but both of your sons' penises.
You could certainly have a claim for Medical Malpractice against the doctor / medical center / hospital that performed the circumcizion. Contact your insurance company for advice.

Now this part is just my opinion but the risks associated with circumcizion far outweigh any apparent benefits, so I just hope if you have any more kids you won't opt for this unnecessary procedure again.
OF COURSE.... look, as many ridiculous, yet winning law suits prove, doctors can be held liable for tripping over your own shoe lace in the hospital parking lot. sounds like you have a real case though, go for it.
Yes you would hope so, but coming from a guy, why circumcise your poor boys to start with, leave the foreskin there and let them have some fun
I think so.
i dont see why not if i was you i would go mad and rip him to shreads
I think that here in the UK it may be different with regard to the law, but I suspect that unless negligence can be proved there's not much hope. Did the same person 'do' your other son?
May I say though that you are a good example of a family where it can be seen that circumcision, unless on medical grounds, does go wrong even in these times and your actions add weight to those of us against this 'abuse' of our sons,
I sincerely hope that you can get things sorted out, but I would hate to have to suffer the pain and discomfort your sons must now endure.
I would hope the "doctor" would be held liable, but you will have to remember any settlement belongs to the victim, it is his penis after all that got mutilated. I am glad to hear that you have learned a lesson, it is unfortunate that your sons have to live with the cost of your education (a warning to other parents contimplating circumutilation)

Please use your education to help end this horrid practice, your sons are not the first to be maimed and sadly I must say they will not be the last.

I sincerly hope things turn out good for your sons and for you.
Yes probably, but the issue is more your fault than the doctors to a certian degree.
You never should have had that child mutilated in the first place.
So the doctor will claim that you requested the mutilation be done. Although he botched the cut, he would claim that you wanted to purchase the mutilation process and the child did not need the mutilation to begin with, but you are on your own and now the child will have to suffer the rest of his life because you wanted to cut off part of his penis.
Live with it because the child will have too.
Unfortunately, you probably don't have a case unless the doctor failed to give you informed consent or negligence. There is a good amount of case precedence. Here is an example:
http://www.ndcourts.gov/court/opinions/2...

When you signed the consent form for the circumcision, you also signed that you understood there is a possibility of complications and unsatisfactory results.

But feel free to sue, anything that will stop infant circumcision is a step in the right direction.
Absolutely. Don't take this wrong, but as a gay man I have seen a penis where the head had somewhat of a skin attachment from the shaft to the head of the penis. It actually looked like a space yet skin connected the two. It was most unusual and this gentleman was self conscientious so much that he wanted to have surgery. I don't know if he did or not. I hope you can sue the surgeon. Did he pull up the foreskin too much and disfigure the head ? I would contact an attorney for advise but my guess would be yes. It's no different than breast surgery that has gone awry. Go for it and good luck.
It would depend on the laws where you live, why the circumcisions ended up that way. Mainly, if the doctor was actually negligent or not. If that could be shown, then yes you could try and seek compensation.

There are those "no win no fee" lawyers out there who sometimes take on cases like this, I would imagine if you look in the phone book there would be some who would give you a free consultation anyway to determine if there's a case or not.

There are some terrible side effects, that unfortunately count as "normal complications" from circumcision, so what happened to your sons could have been mentioned as a potential outcome when you signed the consent form. I'm glad you've now learnt that circumcision is a bad idea and hope you won't do it to future sons and will warn others off that doctor/the procedure if you know any friends planning to see him or whatever.

Taking Clindamycin after having Lasik.?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.190-07:00

Its been about a wekk and a half since I had Lasik eye surgery done and I still cannot see clearly. Ive been taking Clindamycin for an infection. Will this antibiotic hinder the healing process? Everyone Ive talked to have healed up in about three days. Im very worried. Ive been basically blind for almost two weeks.
Taking up clindamycin for a week and a half and still not healing? That is not good at all.

Please consult a different opthalmologist as soon as you can.

My body....! + modelling.?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.189-07:00

Your Open QuestionShow me another ?
My body and modelling....?
Im 20yrs old. Weigh 62kg (137lbs). Im an Australian size 11.
Measurements:
Bust - 89cm (35 inch)
Waist - 70cm (27.5 inch)
Hips - 91cm (36 inch)
And 162cm tall. (5’4)

What do you think of my figure? Do you think I look too short and stock? I'd really like to be more shapely... not as in bigger but slim down a little and get a bit more shape into my legs rather than them be big like they are. Does anyone know how I could make them skinner? Also, I think to fit model standards I'd probably only need to lose an inch off my waist and hips. So thats pretty doable!

Also, do you think I could get into modelling? I've been told I could but not sure?

Here's links to my photos:

you would be a good nontradtional model. but not like runaway/fashion kind!

Is there any possible way you can find out if a guy is a virgin?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.188-07:00

There are no physical signs to whether a guy is a virgin or not, so your best bet would be to ask him.

or ask his exs how far they went

other than that no.
No, except for asking him, unless he's a compulsive liar. That's so not fair though! All they have to do to us girls is put us on a table and say spread em!
Other than asking him? No.
the smartest thing to do would be to ask but guys can lie
Ask him.
Other than him telling you..and being truly honet NO No .NO!
No but I wish there was, lol :P

It's stopping me from living my life properly

2008-08-28T20:29:00.187-07:00

A few months ago I had this problem where i was so conscious of my bladder and always felt like I needed to use the toilet. I was obsessed, and it wasnt even a feeling in my bladder but lower. I got over it a bit and have been feeling incredible lately, but the other day i basically relapsed. I was out shopping and suddenly felt that I HAD to go to the toilet and felt terrified because I almost lost control of my bladder and leaked a little bit. It is basically the same as before now but worse.
What can I do, and please dont suggest seeing a doctor or whatever because i just cant. Im 15.
Do kegels everyday to strengthen your muscles. Kegels are when you contract and release the muscles. Get into the habit of doing them at a certain time of day. Also while urinating work the muscles to stop midstream for a few seconds. This should build up your muscles and confidence.
Yes, you CAN see a doctor. There are any number of things that can cause bladder spasms and that is what it sounds like from here. I had to take a medicine to control them for a while until they identified the allergy causing them. That is no big deal, but it can be a sign of something more serious.

Just get it looked at, please.
Maybe you should wear an adult diaper like "Depends" for a bit and see if that will help you. I realize that you cannot see a doctor right now, but when you can, don't be afraid to tell of this, it might be a medical condition.
Good luck, and God bless.

Question about sex?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.186-07:00

What do you do during sex? I know a little about it but not much .
The fact that you are asking shows that you may not be fully ready yet. If you are young, very young, then think before doing anything. If you are ready, your main concern is safety. If you are comfortable with your partner, then you will learn as you go along. You might want to be more specific with this question because every experience is different. Good luck to you!
Talk about it with your partner-to-be well before hand and know that you are both sure. If there are any doubts, stop here, abstinence in a relationship is normal and "OK".
Go over your birth control needs and options and make sure that you have waited long enough for the choice you make to be effective. Consider talking with a friend or family member about their experiences.
Use a condom no matter what other birth control arrangements have been made and regardless of what your partner-to-be tells you about his/her sexual history.
Do not be drunk, on drugs or otherwise unable to make an informed decisison, and make sure that your partner-to-be is in a decision making state.Make sure that you care about your partner-to-be and that you are not "doing it" for reasons other than what YOU feel. Looking cool, fitting in or just wanting to lose your virginity are not good reasons to have sex.
Go somewhere comfortable, quiet, private and (preferably) nice. Choose a place where you are unlikely to be interrupted.
Don't think too much about how nervous you are, relax and take a deep breath. This should be something you WANT to do.
Spend a long time kissing and caressing your partner. This is called "foreplay" and the more there is of it, the better.
Talk to your partner, say kind, gentle and loving things. First say with words what you are about to express with your body.
As you get into it never stop listening to what your partner says and remember he/she has a right to stop no matter how far things have gone.
Slowly undress each other paying close attention to your partner's body language - are things moving too fast, or do they seem on target? If you sense any hesitation at this point you should slow down or stop.
As you kiss and start to relax listen to what your mind tells you to do, follow your instincts and your partners cues.
Enjoy what you are doing, take time to get to know your partner's body and let them get to know yours. You never get another first time or another first time together.
Before moving on to intercourse (penetration) make sure that you both still want to "go all the way", it is hard to turn back and can't be undone. Sex is not a test of love, it is a way of expressing it.
Follow your instincts and listen to your heart. By the time you are physically ready for intercourse you should be relaxed and comfortable enough to let nature take it's course.
#1 rule - dont watch porn to learn about it...porn is an advanced thing that teaches you the wrong things about sex...it says that u meat some1 and all of a sudden they go at it

sex is 2 people showing there love and if you truly want to learn about it, experience it with your partner and you will see
You should consult with your Mom about sex, you know the talk about the bird's and the bee's. Your Mom will hopefully tell you to wait until you're married and you should listen to her because your Mother is very wise.
i dont think about anything but whats going on in that moment. its almost like an out of body experience...at least with my boyfriend :) its just me and him and the thought of pleasuring eachother. now im all hot and bothered
It is when a guy sticks his penis into a girls vagina. It is the process in which a baby is made if you dont use a condom. In can also conclude in various STI's or STD's
You think to yourself "damn this itches...i hope she doesn't notice"

then afterwords you go to the doctor an get antibiotics an hope it doesnt burn that bad for the next 2 weeks.
a guys penis goes in a womans hole and they go back and forth, its a good feeling, maybe one day you'll experience it,
lick there earlobes
and sing old madonna songs

that usually does the trick
If you have to ask this question, you know nothing about sex.
I concentrate on pleasing my partner. I know I will enjoy the results.
i usually juggle while reading the newspaper
Hump forest hump!Move it in and out until you shoot and then do it some more!
well, first you play a game of chess. then you chew bubble gum until you pop your bubble!
how old r u
and y do u wanna kno
r u gonna go out there and get some gurl
pregnet
pelvic thrust
well, you just answered your self. You do sex! duhhh
Uh..have sex?
you put ur penis in her vagina
Ask your health teacher
u stick ur penis into a girls vagina until u reach an orgasm
JAmes Ur A Fag

What are some easy ways to pull your teeth?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.185-07:00

without it hurting that bad it has a cap on it
gently wiggle it with your tounge and give it time so its very loose and put very light pressure on it eventually it will pop off really quickly and its painless its just happened to me like 15 minutes ago. trust me it wont hurt.
Generally speaking, people should not be worried about pulling their own teeth. This should be left to dental professionals. You could break it off, leaving the root behind, you could also damage the bone. But the bigger question is what on earth happened to you that you would NEED to pull your own tooth? My guess is that if it is in that bad of shape you probably have others that are not doing well either, and they just haven't started to hurt yet. Know one thing for sure, dental problems do not go away on their own. And, once a tooth is gone it is gone forever (well permanent teeth anyway) I'm imagining this is a permanent tooth because of the "cap".
Please go and see a dentist. Ask friends for referrals. Try and stay away from the clinic situation.
You probably have an infection as well and could use some antibiotics. good luck
tie a string to the tooth, tie the other end to a door handle, stand a bit away from the door so the string is just a bit slack,
then slam that door
you wont feel a thing (whiskey helps)
i do it verry slowly. i play with it alot during the day until it gets so loose it just falls out. or you can do it quick, like a band aid. just pull er out! haha
Go to a dentist.

Can i get some type of birth control with out a pap smear?????

2008-08-28T20:29:00.184-07:00

just reading about it i dont think i would feel comfortable with getting one done
If you can't get a pap smear then you haven no business having sex. This is part of being an adult woman, you must take care of your health and it is important to get regular pelvic exams, especially if you are sexulally active.
Also if you do not know he answer to this question you should not be having sex... Have you heard of condoms? Although you should always use condoms even if you are on hormonal birth control for STD protection I would still say you need a back up form of protection
You just have to not worry about it, it's really not that bad as long as you're mature and responsible enough to handle it. Your doctor has seen many vaginas, so don't feel self-conscious about yours. It may make you feel more comfortable to see a female doctor, I know that helped me a lot. Also, the doctor does everything to make sure it is not awkward. She does not allow for awkward silences and pauses, and explains what she is going to do before she does it. It goes by quickly, and it's definitely worth it to get on some birth control.

Like that other person said, if you do not feel comfortable with a doctor looking down there, you should not be comfortable with having boys look down there and you have no business being sexually active. Just be responsible and tell yourself it will be worth the fifteen minute physical exam to get on birth control.
I just got one done and i was so freaked out before and i thought it was going to be akward and really uncomfortable, but it ended up being alright and it really wasnt bad at all. Just go to a womans clinc or to a woman doctor to get it done. And it doesnt hurt you will just feel slight pressure. But if your having sex and going in for bc your most likely going to have to get it done. And your definatly going to have to get one done if your getting BC for your period.
Yeah you can go to walmart and get some condoms...that the only thing you can get without a pap.
But you want a pap to check for other things ....like cervical cancer...Believe me no woman I know that jumped for joy and ran to her OB/GYN for a pap smear. But if you are responsible then you will do the right thing.
Pap smears are NOTHING! They take 30 seconds and it is done. Female health is super important so get over the fear and get it done. There is no shame or pain involved. If you are willing to let a guy down there, then you should be more than o.k. with a doctor doing his job. Good luck!
No you shouldn't be able to get birth control without a full exam and yes, that includes that pap smear. Keep in mind doctors have seen everything, you have nothing to worry about.
I never had a pap when I was on birth control. I was however only 12 years old.
although they're not a big deal, i got the depo shot w/o a pap...but thats usually only if you're a virgin at the time.

In an 81 year male in poor health with pneumonia and a collasped what is the chance of survival?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.183-07:00

Pneumonia is a common infection. While the mortality from this disease has declined due to improvements in modern medicine, it remains the #1 infectious cause of death. Unfortunately, old age and pre-existing health problems increase the risk of death due to pneumonia. Several predictive formulas based on real-world data have been created evaluate the disease severity. However, these formulas only provide rough estimates of the chance of survival.
Rest, take your antibiotics until they're all gone, drink alot of fluids and get alot of sleep. You don't say what's collapsed. Is it a lung? Do whatever the dr. says and don't try to do anything that might hinder your recovery.
hopefully a lot still :]

Horrible pain in left upper leg??

2008-08-28T20:29:00.182-07:00

Okay so i have horrible pain in my left upper thigh and it hurts so badly to walk, even sitting now its hurting. Does anyone know what this could be?
Perhaps inflammation in the pelvis or hip joint? Due to arthritis, rheumatism or an inflammatory disorder like auto immune disease. On the other hand, it could also be a strain or a sprain. Would be best to talk to a doctor about this, who could possibly do an x-ray or another type or scan to diagnose it.
You've got a bent spoon in your pocket? Also, you call yourself Megan but your myspace says you're a 16 year old male?

what's it to be?
Next time use lube

Help with plugged ears (from cold)?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.181-07:00

I got a cold that's almost gone, but I always seem to get plugged ears on the tail end of it. I was wondering if Polysporin ear/eye drops will work to unclog them?
Take a decongestant.
whatever you do, dont put a lit firecracker in your ear to try to unstop it. my cousin earl did that a few years back, and long story short, we now call him one-earred- earl.

What color is normal semen?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.180-07:00

And what color is not normal semen?
Also, I don't really get what is ***...
creamiesh white to somewhat oily (Never reddish- that could be blood). It also depends on what the guy has eaten. Increased alcohol or dairy products can effect the semen color. Just like urine sometimes it is yellower than other times due to the amount of fluid intakes.
I nut yellowish come everyonce in awhile, its no big deal. But i also smoke marijauna like its going out of style, do you? That might have something to do with the color.
Uh, well, white, but not always. Mine is a thick whitish with some clear making it look like the white hand soap. C*m is just a word used to say semen or the act of ejaculating.
it's usually a white or yellowish color. Rarely clear

and that word is just slang for either semen or the ejaculation (whem semen COMES out)
Mine is normally clear fluid, and then between 5 and 10 mins later if i squeeze my bell end, I can get solid jelly like white stuff out
milky at first, then clear color after it separates.
semen is a clear whitish color, and c*m is just slang for semen.
normally it is whiteish or a bit yellow
white.is looks like milk

I am diabetic. Please tell me what to do when the blood sugar is low or when high. When to take Insulin.?

2008-08-28T20:29:00.179-07:00

Some times. mostly in the early morning I have difficulty reading. My sugars are anywhere from 65 to 165. When it is low I just eat slices of bread and or drink orange juice. When it is high I drink lots of water. I am suppose to inject insulin but I do not know at which point. Please help.
please ask your doctor these questions and don't take a chance on something so important.You are talking about the welfare of your life, so I wouldn't just take the advice of just anyone.
You really MUST check this out with your doctor. There are many different types of insulin, and they have different speeds at which they operate, as well as for how long they operate.

If your blood sugar is below 72 mg/dL you need to eat as you are on the verge of suffering a hypoglycemic attack.

A blood sugar reading of 165 mg/dL is only a little high, but still high enough to cause complications to set in if you keep it at that level. Obviously, raised blood sugar levels, and possibly insulin resistance is the reason why your doctor feels that you need insulin injections. (I'm presuming here that you're a type 2 diabetic that, probably started out by taking tablets when you were first diagnosed. If not, then I apologise for jumping to inappropriate conclusions.)

Your doctor is the only one who can advise you at what time you're supposed to be taking insulin injections as s/he will know all about you and which type of diabetes you have.

I wish you the best of luck in learning more about your condition.
For me 65 would be borderline low and 165 would be just a little high. If I am slightly low I'll eat something but not much. If I'm a little high I drink 10 ozs of water and walk 10-15 minutes. Wait about 30 minutes or so and then check sugar level and administer insulin. Thats what works best for me but I also get lots of exersize and find myself low sometimes later. I just wish I could find something to help with the weight gain. I am starving and if I don't starve I gain weight.
when your blood sugar is too low dont take insulin because it will lower your blood sugar even more causing to go into a coma you should eat something wuth lots of sugar in it and carry glucose tablets with you.when your sugar is too high then take insulin.. or talk to your doctor they would tell you more stuff
You should talk to your physician. Most have a "sliding" scale of insulin doses based on their blood sugar levels.
ask your doctor and find out what your correction ratio is and when you should start correcting.
what i do is take 1 unit for every 50 over 150, i take humolog. your doctor should of given you a sliding scale
