Health - 18 July 2006

I have been wearing contacts for the past 15 years with no problems. A couple months ago, my prescription got worse and I got new contacts. One week later, I no longer was able to wear my contacts. NOT because they were physically uncomfortable, but because they were visually uncomfortable. The way I can describe is like looking through some really strong glasses. They put me back on my regular/old prescription, with no luck...I still had the "weird vision". This all happen within ONE week! Now, 2 months later, I'm wearing my contacts and am still unable to wear contacts. I've been to 4 eye doctors and they ALL can't figure out why.

Anyone else have a similar problem?

Anyoen know a GREAT eye doctor who might be able to help me.

ANY help would be great.

I need a high factor sunscreen that doesn't feel heavy or oily. I've tried the countless brands and they are all really greasy. Even the Ambre Solaire Clear protect which claims to be '100% non greasy'.

Does anyone know of a SPF30+ sunscreen that feels like a good moisturiser?

Lately I have had a lot of breast tenderness like I'm pregnant, but have had a hysterectomy. I am guessing the only reason for this would be early menopause? I am afraid that there could be something else also. I only have one ovary.

I tried it, missed a couple days and took the recommended dose, and my heart rate shot through the roof, my skin was really sensitive to the touch, I felt dizzy, the whole nine. But now that I'm off the pill, it seems as though I can't lose the weight. I was thinking about doing one pill per dose instead of two, but I'm worried. When I e-mailed the company, Mailer Daemon sent my e-mail back, claiming that it was an invalid domain. How do I go about reporting this to some kind of authority if it's not even approved by the FDA? And should I even consider trying it out again?

Do you have sagging breasts but are still a teen or young woman?
I'm 15, am a 38C and my breasts sag and I HATE IT! It's so annoying. I can't wear bikini tops, because it won't hold it up or tube tops and halters without wearing a regular bra because a strapless won't hold it up. It really ruins my self confidence and I feel that if I told a guy that my breasts sag that he would leave me or wouldn't except me and I don't have anyone to talk to about this because I don't know anyone else who has this problem. I want to get surgery but I'm scared and my mom said I should leave it the way it is but she doesn't know what it's like. What should I do? I'd like to talk to someone if anyone has this problem.

Is it possible my hubby has been a carrier genital herpes for over 13 years and never have had an outbreak except the one he had starting last month? We've been married for 10 and never has this happened. He swears he has been faithful to me. I can't help but feeling weary of this cause I am clean. Anyone confirm that this is possible? dr said stress causes outbreaks and he has been stressed. I dont kow. Any honest decent answers would be greatly appreciated.

I am 48 years old, and post-chemo for Lymphoma. I have NO energy and I gained a ton of weight, due to the prednisone in my treatment. I also have 'chemo-brain'. [cognitive impairment following chemo] My treatment was two years ago, and these symptoms are NOT going away. I'm still gaining weight at a slow rate, no matter what I do. I also have chemo-induced menopause.

So, I'm FAT with NO energy to exercise. I barely make it working 8 hours at a desk job. My doctors will not give me anything to help speed up metabolism, increase energy, increase mental sharpness and lose weight. I know it's my responsibility to exercise and eat right. I'm doing ok with eating [though I'm still gaining], but I have NO energy to exercise and everything hurts or causes soreness.

I have read and heard that Ritalin in adults can alleviate some of these things. I.e. can help with metabolism, energy, and metal sharpness. If this is true, how do I get some Ritalin or a prescription? Thanks.

My feet are always dry and callused even though I put lotion on them every day. I have very wide feet, and I walk on my tiptoes because it's a habit. I know calluses can be caused by wide feet rubbing on shoes, but since it's summer I wear flips flops and can't remember the last time I had sneakers on. What can I do to make my feet less dry and have no calluses all the time?
