I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth pulled on Friday, and I feel okay today except that I am SO TIRED. The only pain medication that I have needed is iboprofen, which normally does not have that effect on me. Is this a normal part of the healing process?

I've never been to the doctor for the official diagnosis, but my parents both agree that I might have it. They say that I never expressed emotions and affection to them or other people growing up. I do cringe when someone hugs me most of the time, but sometimes I do appreciate someone's care and affection for me, I'm just somehow hardly able to return it. I do know how to speak and easily got over my habits of awkward movements. My Mom says marriage is not in my future; but I actually want to get married. What is the future for someone like me? Do you think I have autism?

I have been on the pill for 5 years and am 23 yrs old. last year i tried to go off of them but within 6 months i had the worst acne (cystic type which threatens major scarring) appearing so i went back on the pill. i'm scared the pill may be causing me to develop varicose viens in my leg and skin sensitivity to the sun, but i feel trapped because it seems to be the only thing that controls my acne.

i eat well (high % of greens and raw food, organic, etc), use natural products, am at a great weight and get enough exercise. is there any way i can wean myself off the pill? could i possibly start taking 3/4 of a pill per day for a month, then 1/2 the next month, etc??

I quit smoking almost 2 yrs ago and initially attributed my weight gain ( 30lbs) to that..however, I think it is my medication that is preventing weight loss..I have asked my doctor if it is necessary to continue on the diovan and hct and he said yes..I started these meds also 2 years ago when my blood pressure was 176/110..now it is 130/80..I have stopped eating red meat..eliminated desserts..severely curtailed butter from diet..exercised..and my weight does not budge..it is so depressing.

I am a 47 yo male and now weigh about 240

I am considering a tubal ligation (particularly the new "clip" method) and am just trying to feel things out. I would appreciate info from anyone who has had one (any type). Good, bad, or indifferent.

So im very excited. but i have a question about the timing and when to remove a tampon. i know u never it in from 4-8 hours and no more than 8 hours, but does that mean, you cant go to the bathroom til u take it out, or can u pee, even though u have a tampon in or what?

however, after that I began to put it back on. They say the average person loses 6-8 lbs the first 2wks. What is wrong with me that I am struggling on this diet?? I used to have the best metabolism ever and now I am stuck at a certain number. I am only 24. I excercize atleast 5 times a week as well.
