Health - 13 July 2006

Looking over the top answerer in HEALTH, http://answers.yahoo.com/dir/stars?sid=396545018 I noticed a trend. This person always seems to get the best answer so I went about trying to find out why. I looked back at their questions and watched them when they went up for voting. Some went the full week with no votes right up until the end then suddenly this one person would get votes. They would vote for their own under multiple names and no one else had any. When I would vote for another answer, they would come back and add more votes to make sure they won. I know this is true because I can tell when the person is online by the questions they answer. They keep voting for their own answers no matter what. I count at least 8 yahoo names. I think this is pretty desperate. She claims to be a healthcare professional and acts like a child always wanting to be #1. Look at her questions and see for yourself. Watch the ones up for voting today, you will see the trend. Is that ethical/cheating?

my parents got a divorce 6 years ago and i still don't think i'm over it, and people telling me how much my parents love me really doesn't help. i know they do, and i think they're gigantic idiots for divorcing. but it's still an unresolved issue that makes me find it hard to trust anyone and let anyone in. i have walls built against anyone i meet and these walls take years to tear down. and they rebuild really quickly as a part of low self esteem and high self consciousness. and lately, i'm kind of thinking i've developed a small depression because of it. i feel as if the reins to my life are right in front of me, but i just can't quite reach it. how can i take control of my life?

I have multiple health conditions and my meds are too expensive. I am going to Mexico to get my prescriptions. I have researched and it is legal to buy scripts in Mexico as long as they are for my own personal use and I declare them at the border. I will not get any meds made in China, India, or the Middle East because they have no regulations, but other than that I think I will be fine. Any tips?

I heard that by licking frogs a person can get high, but what about warts - everybody knows that frog secretions cause warts on human skin. Do you think that rubbing a frog on the genitals is how people get genital herpes?

What exactly happens to the muscles/tendons/etc when we stretch? I just did, and even though I stretched, the muscles tightened up and it felt sooo good. That sounds confusing, stretching and tightening at the same time, but that's the best way I can describe it.

Do we get a rush of blood to the muscles? Is there a chemical that runs through our brain and the bloodstream? It makes me to stretch, so I thought perhaps there's some dopamine thing going on in the brain, I don't know. What's happening?

I finally broke down and went to another dr since they were only getting worse and he gave us the permethrin 5% cream to use on the whole family which we did yesterday. My question is, how long does the minor itching and bumps take before they go away? We have washed all the linens , pillows , vaccuumed everything including beds and furniture. Is there any chance that we can become reinfected after cleaning everything and we even dipped the puppy in a solution to get rid of the scabies since he is the one that brought them into the house in the first place i know for fact since they started all over our bodies within 2 days of him being brought here. Is there anything else i should do to prevent reinfestation? And how long will this itching last now that the scabies are gone? Thanks!

i think it might look stupid that i have no control over myself. i just can't make my body or mind do anything i want to. fo eg.since i'm free these days i want to help my mom in her work but can't even pull up myself from the bed.
there's always something stupid repeating in my head which i don't want it to be there- like a previous conversation with someone or some music or a song. i can't get these out even while studying or giving an exam.

recently i've got a new problem of getting up suddenly in the middle of night with my head full of stupid thoughts which have no meaning and i can't get back to sleep again.

i am such a mad person that whenever i have an argument with someone (which i usually do)i usually end up hurting myself for which i have to regret later.
