I have looked for cures on spinal headaches and can not find any answers. I have had the blood patch done and I still have the same problems as I did before the blood patch was done. This is how I have been for almost a month.

I have been a over drinking for around say 4 years may be more but not a full blown alcoholic in the physical sense.
I had a discussion in with my wife about drinking sensibly and next week I am going without a drink to see how I really feel about drinking physically and phychologically.
I do not want to stop drinking as in teetotal as that to me is extreme and I enjoy a beer and a wine and would not deny myself the pleasure. But I do not want to drink where it is unhealthy but have a healthy sustainable enjoyment that maybe be beneficial..
I am 38, 6' 2" and weigh 220 lbs.
Some advice would be nice that I could use and give me food for thought as I develop my practice and attitude to a more healthier way of life.

Im 17 years old and I've been cutting & doing other forms of self injury since I was 13 and I don't know how to stop. It's becoming very dangerous for me because I always seem to cut too deep. Only a few nights ago I almost bleed to death. I don't want my parents to find out cause it would freak them out too much, but all my friends who know want to tell them... I'm not sure how to go about getting the help I need. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could stop, or reduce the amount I cut?
thx,
PT

and Card number

WHICH one is the policy number?! Thanks in advance!

I was in Kroger and went to the deli. The lady that waited on me had plastic gloves on which I thought was good. I asked her for a pound of turkey and a pound of cheese. She looked for it and had to go to the freezer in the back to get it. Meanwhile, there was a spraying cleaner over the whole floor (which was clearly in the air from the smell) and then he started to spray with a water hose. This was in the back behind the counter where the food was being handled. The lady was walking back to get the turkey and put her hands on things to keep her balance - trash can, counters, door handles, etc... I expected her to change gloves when she got back but she didn't. The guy was spraying water and cleaner all over everything! She even took the whole block of cheese out of the plastic and handled it. When I got my 2 pounds of dirty, germ infested meat and cheese, I said "Thank you" and proceeded to LEAVE them in the dairy refridgeration and didn't purchase. I won't go back. Was it wrong?

I have difficulty of losing weight since I have gained 15Ib last year.
I used to comsume aspartame(sugar twins) 50pages/day.

Recently, I have read a book and it clams that "artificial sweeteners boost insulin by fooling the body into reacting to them like sugar. The more unused insulin in your bloodstream, the more fat your body stores"

Is that true??
Will aspartame slow down my metabolism in some way?
Is it the reason why I can not lose that extra 15 ib?

p.s. I count calorie carefully, but it seems like I can not lose weight at all....

In the past, I used aspartame to control my weight, but I did not gain any single Ib...
However, after gained that extra 15 ib....(due to bad eating habits)

I have difficulty to lose weight.......

Is "aspartame" the main reason???which causes my metabolism slower than others?? and makes my body easier to store fat than other people?

Thank you for your answers...........

i took a shower last night, and suddenly my right ear felt a clogging feeling and some sort of numb feeling. its a similar feeling to when water goes into your ear while you're swimming or something. the problem is, i dont remember water going into my ear while i was showering. thinking it was just temporary, i just used a q-tip and went to sleep. i woke up today with the same numbing feeling, and everytime i use a qtip it seems to get a lil worse. i tried jumping up and down to knock it off with no efforts. can someone tell me whats going on? ear infection?!
