My sister has an excessive amount of ear wax buildup. She cleans out her ears everyday, but it still builds up, and sometimes it clogs her ears and she can't hear. She's tried the ear washes, and it doesn't help. Is this a medical condition that she'd need to take medication for?

I finally managed to deal fairly well with my narcissistic ex husband.
But how do you remain calm when your divorced ex uses our child against me, which suddenly began talking in the same cold, intimidating, manipulative and belitteling tone as his dad (15). Like a true yerk . I start stuttering and get flustered because I feel cornered and then just give in. (Big mistake). My kid never acts like that when he's with me. I don't know how to deal with it.

I get about 4-6 hours of sleep a night, I am on a low calorie diet, and I workout 5 times a week, and I am at a stand still. Can not getting enough sleep be keeping me from getting over this plateau? I really do eat right, and I bust my butt working out. What could be the problem???

what can i do? i've always been shy and quiet, and i always feel that everyone loves talkative americans.. they love them, they want to be friends with them, but i'm not like that and i feel hated, i also feel discriminated by jobs, and not just in how talkative i'm not, but also because even though i'm American, i'm frm mexican parents and i don't act or speak like others.. it also feel that i'm not a real american, even though i am.. but i don't do anything that other americans do..so i feel like i don't belong.. any advice?

Since low-carb dieting is all about carbs minus fiber, can I eat foods with higher carbs if I add fiber capsules or Fiber Sure to my food? Does that count or does it actually have to be part of the food naturally to lower the carb count?

I currently have no health insurance, hopefully that will change soon. I have swelling in my legs, through some research I've discovered I have pitted edema. Is there anything I can do to treat myself at home until I get insurance. What happens if it goes untreated?

As a black woman and marathon runner, the sun does enough damage to my hair...so there is no way that I can press it everyday to get it straight. I appreciate my roots and love my curly hair, but some days I like it straight and others I wear it curly. As such, I've opted for very very light relaxer and do not leave it on for more than 10 minutes----that's with putting it in and everything. But I wanted to know if I coluld be affecting the brain growth and blood system of myself and my unborn child. I always base my hair and eat only organic foods - whenever some ridiculous craving doesn't hit (smile).

So I'm just trying to be certain that I'm not harboring a negative environment for myselgf and my child. My GYN is non-black so I'm not sure if she'd understand my hair. So if there are any sisters out there who are marathon runners, and are pregnant or have been and still want to be fit and fabulous, please help me.

If the chemical calcium hydrox is harmful, please help!
