Health - 31 July 2006

I am 17. My parents just split up about a week ago. My mom was dropping me off at work (eck no, I can't drive yet) and she told me that she was going to go into AA and take counseling. She said in a couple months she thought it would be a good idea for me to take counseling too, to work out any issues I have from the abuse I've dealt with the past 6 years (verbal, not physical). I think I am fine. lol I've gotten tough to it over the years. You know? lol But do you think I should try it anyway and see what comes up or what? It sounds like it would be interesting to hear what they had to say, but I'm not one to share personal information very often. Opinions? Thanks. =)
(I suppose it's fair to mention that alcoholism, drugs, and infidelity are involved. -_- Not me though! I despise the stuff.)

I did not know I had it untl I got stung by a bee on the same finger which swole up and now catches and locks into trigger position. To unhook it I just have to push and it pops causing a pain sensation all the way up to my shoulder. I have no insurance, and probably would not use cortisone or surgery if I did. I've put it in a splint rite now. Any suggestions.

I swithched from Sundown brand Melatonin to Natures Bounty (?)
, both say 300 as in milligrams I guess but the Sundown says 300 MCG and the other 300 MG. The new brand seems to be more effective, are they the same amount oand do diff. brands really differ.
The new brand is slightly diff. in ingredients.

I'm not even sure of the person who gave this sight here on Yahoo Answers,but PLEASE check out this sight.....http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/medicalalyssa.asp This little girl was diagnosed with "diffuse pontine glioma" It's a stem cell brain tumor.The sight gives details,but what her kindegartan teacher Is doing is trying to get people to send Alyssa a birthday card from people with 1 only 1 penny enclosed.She is putting the pennies in a jar to show little Alyssa how many people are thinking and care about her. This just tugged at my heart.Being a mother of three healthy girls,I can't imagine what this family is going through! If this winds up being a hoax(I really don't belive it is) then it didn't cost us much and we can all feel good about it anyway.In my family we are each going to send a card and a penny!Check out the sight but the address for Alyssa Bruno is 67 Cascade Road...West Henrietta,NY 14586. Thanks ya'll! The best answer will be picked by someone who feel like I do.

I am 23 and started to get frequent yeast infections about 1 or 2 years ago. My doc asks me every time I see her if diabetes runs in the family, and I tell her no. She doesn't seem too concerned after that. I am on the pill which I've heard can cause yeast problems in some women, and at that time I was eating a lot of sugar which I've heard can cause infections. When I cut down on sugar I don't notice the problem as often or at all. I'm not obese. I just quit smoking. I'm active and nobody in my family has it. Should I still get tested for it anyway?

I have been told by a man, that "real" men do not wear any colored underwear other than black, white and gray. Is this true? Men and women please answer.

I would like to try to get back into shape, but have limited resources (no gym membership, no real exercise equipment).

I've been doing push-ups and crunches so far, and can do about 30 of each in a row. So here's my question:
Should I be looking at this like a stint on a machine in a gym.. like should I be doing 3 sets of each (maybe 30, then 20 twice or something) to get anywhere? Is what I'm doing now going to give any results?

Oh, and just as a curiosity.. do push-up do much for biceps, or more for triceps?

I work out for a half hour on my lunch break and then grab a bite to eat right after. Is that not good- should I eat first then work out?

I've had this spider bite for about a week. I went to the e.r. and they just gave me antibiotics and a scrub brush to pop it myself. But I found some things on the internet last night relating to if when you stand up and blood shoots out, that's not a good thing. So, I was just wanting some help.

I usually don't ask such lame questions, but I was curious what the general population thought about a subtle six pack on women? I work out hard and soon enough I will probably have a six pack. Is it gross because I can always eat some candy to keep a flat stomach.
