Health - 24 July 2006

I'm a 19 year old female for the past two days I have had these sharp pains starting in my fingers and moving down to my legs mainly on my right side. However the pain does sometimes happen in my left leg. It's about four days before my period starts so does it have something to do with that or is it something else? I wanted to ask before going to the doctor because my insurance isn't the best insurance in the world and being in college and paying hospital bills is a lot.
Thanks for your help!!!

Hi, I'm 13 entering 8th grade, in the begining of the year we run the mile and we run it again at the end of the year to see how much we've improved. Last year I came in last place with a time of 9 minutes something, both times, it was really embarassing!! I'm not over weight, I'm just weak. Do you have any tips on toughening up before school starts again? And do you have any tips for me to use while I'm actually running?

My best friend is a wonderful and nice person. the only problem is that she is so afraid of gaining too much weight and wants to lose a lot. she is 5'7 or 5'8 and weighs 125 lbs. I personally think that is good, but she hates her stomach and everytime she watches movies the first thing that she notices is the lbs that people carry around their waist.

i dont know what to say to her or show her that there is nothing wrong with her (shes not bulemic or anorexic or anything)

Michelle Goldberg says progressives need to wake up and pay attention to the enormous — and growing — influence of the radical Christian right.



"I don't want to be alarmist, but this is actually quite alarming," Michelle Goldberg said. She was referring to the subject of her new book, "Kingdom Coming: The Rise of Christian Nationalism," which chronicles the steady rise of the neocons of Christianity.

I feel weird asking this and normally I don't care like what people think. I'm fine with myself. I have flat breast and only wear bras I got from the kids department. (I'm 17) While I'm totally fine with that, i realized the other day.. what am i supposed to do when I'm like 25? Shop in the kids department? I'm a bit eh about birth control. I heard it increases breast size though but is that only temporary? I know there are a bunch of risks with birth control but I was thinking maybe I'd just take it for awhile. until I can actually fit into a regular adult A cup. help?

I know this may be very stupid and more then likely i am just being paranoid but i would like to know if anyone else has reacted this way before. I have taken ephedrine before but havent for awhile, i knew it wasnt really good for me because I have asthma. But today I took two and I feel extremely depressed and i am having trouble swallowing, not terribly but enough to notice. I just want this to go away...is there anything I can do or should I just wait it out? I also started taking welbutrin a couple months ago i dont know weather or not that would have anything to do with it. Anyone who knows a little about this, help me out please.

My friend and I are both 17 and we just started pilates workouts today. watching the video from one of the sessions, i am finding a lot of things i disagree with, and i am afraid that it might hurt me more than help me. Is it really healthy to do the workouts? or can you get some problems later on from it?

my daughter suffers severly from this condition, which is excessive sweating of her entire body. She has seen many doctors but some of the medications have nasty side effects. She is 16 years old so a part of this may be hormonal, although not comletely the cause. Any one else with this condition? HELP.

I'm BP2, have BPD and have been off my meds since June 12th. I was taking Lamictal (400 mgs/day), Prozac (20mgs/day), Klonopin (1mg as needed), and Ambien CR (as needed).
I've been doing well off my meds, I am not in such a fog, but the last couple of days I've been getting REALLY pissed off at stupid stuff.
It could be PMS, but I've never felt like this with PMS.
I'm so high strung I feel like someone is taking a cheese grater to my insides!
Time to get back on the meds?

Are all these things normal to have with starting braces?:
-*THE WORST* Is Swallowing weird like puckering my lips and sucking spit back to swallow which is becoming a habit hard ot forget about
-Having to much saliva in mouth especially around the braces
-Getting raw cheek and sores in mouth
-Getting food constanly stuck everywhere in your mouth between your braces
-Making your lips look a little fatter when your mouths closed and weirder looking when you talk
-Talking weird with certain words and sounds like the words with F's and S's syllabels which makes me angry at itme because i want to talk like i use to and not sound weird and struggle as much

All of these things areh appening to me them sot annoying are the speech and swallowing. Has this happened to any of you guys who have or had braces? If so how long does it last for? Feedback plz...
I HATE THESE F*IN THINGS IN MY MOUTH!!! (and i still have a year nad a half to go :(((((((
