I know it can take years for the symptoms to appear, but how soon can you be certain if you have HIV or not?

I have already asked this question but I was'nt giving enough details to what I was asking

Every time you stand up to turn the channel, you bend your back a little to press the buttons.After standing and bending on a regular basis do you think it will cause a bad back in the future?Also every time you glance at the television to find what your looking for, being so close do you think it can also damage to your vision/eye sight.

My teenage daughter is withdrawn, has phobias about ordinary things and is depressed. She has been for about five years. I've been to counsellors with her, 2 psychiatrists, and our family doctor. They want her to try antidepressants. She did but quit because she said it didn't help. She thinks she's hideously ugly but she isn't at all. She's been covering her head for three years because she hates her forehead. Believe me I've tried everything and now I'm throwing this open to you, the wonderful public. Please give me some advice. How can I get her to feel good about herself and have a social life. She hasn't been to school for three years. She does correspondence courses at home. She is very smart, but believes she's stupid. She's never been abused at home, but claims people outside the home have told her repeatedly that she's ugly. Believe me when I say I can't force her to do anything. I'm worried that she will have no future.

I've got bulimia and I've had it for a few years and I'm waiting to see a specialist about it but I have to wait ages before I see them.

I saw a dentist a few weeks ago and that's how everyone found out about my bulimia because he said my teeth were all eroded and rotting from being sick all the time. What can they do to fix my teeth, and is there any way I can protect them against the vomiting?

Please, don't tell me to stop making myself sick - if it was that easy I'd have done it already. But is there anything I can do to stop my teeth getting worse?

I took Imitrex injection. No help. Demerol 200mg, also no help. I called my neurologist and he suggested I go to the ER. I went and they gave me a shot of Dilaudid 3mg. I feel asleep soon after it kicked in since I was so tired from no sleep all night, so they sent me home. I just woke up and it’s even worse then before. I just got sick. I don’t know what to do now

There is no quick fix and if you find one, its bogus. It may work short term, but after that, you gain it back. If you are serious about loosing weight, eat right. Cut out soda, candy, snacks, sweets, and starches (ex. potatoes, breads, pastas, those types of things). Drink 8-10 8 oz. glasses of water a day and get some exercise!! You can occasionally (maybe once or twice a week) eat a treat to reward your self for all of your hard work. But losing weight takes time and effort! Go on walks, ride a bike, dance around the house for a few hours while cleaning... just get moving and eating healthy.
