I'm starting to think that I'm retaining too much water and that something might be wrong! The hotter it gets outside the more water weight I take on. I've also noticed that I no longer sweat, either. It's horrible! It makes me feel like a sausage in my clothes. Sometimes my fingers and ankles even swell up and feel like they're going to pop. I take water pills to help but it doesn't cure the problem. Any theories?

How much water a day is healthy to drink. I heard 8, but if I try to drink that much, then I feel sick.

I am happily engaged and love my fiance very much... we are intimate even though we are not married yet, which we both feel is ok. But the thing is, I love making out with him and fooling around, but when we have sex it just isnt enjoyable. I am totally turned on but as soon as we start intercourse, I am in pain and am not feeling any enjoyment. I would like to enjoy it. I dont know what is wrong with me. I have not had any other sexual partners, my fiance is the only one so maybe it is because I am not an expert at it. But if there is any advice out there for helping me enjoy sex I would love to hear it.

My 6 year old daughter is extremely hyper all the time, reacts to persons mood, when I am a little sad she is depressed, when I am upset, she is angry. She has fits of rage, hard to control. She hurt the baby (18 months) just because. She gets depressed easily. Hard to get her outta moods. She wont look straight at me and talk unless she is happy. She hugs me hard enough to leave bruises when she is happy, but not happy that much. Certain music bothrs her, too much music she goes in a shell. She will tone out the world if something is bothering her too much. Her older sister is afraid of her. If I say no to her or ask her to do something, she throws fits, sometimes hurting people, throwing things. She says things like "why do you care, you dont love me, i hate everybody right now, dont touch me, dont look at me, get away from me......I dont know what to do with her. I thought about contacting children services to see if she can go into a mental heath center. I am at odds.

I've had bad teeth my entire life. For the past 10 yrs. or so I've had regular cleanings twice a year and even though I'm hopelessly addicted to Pepsi, I do rinse my mouth out with water after I eat and drink, plus I chew sugarless gum after every meal as well. I don't get much calcium because dairy gives me bad stomach aches and I'm also a vegetarian who doesn't particularly like vegetables, so I eat a lot of pasta, salad and fruit. What else should I be eating to make my teeth stronger?

cheers,
Shauna!

p.s. I KNOW Pepsi is bad for me, I really do. But I'm addicted to it and I get bad headaches anytime I try to give it up. Plus I absolutely LOVE the stuff and I don't want to give it up. I don't like diet Pepsi so that's not an option. And I rinse my mouth out with water and chew sugarless gum EVERY time I drink one, so I think my teeth issues have more to do with what I'm not eating rather than what I am.

I know this is sort of crazy...there's a commercial on tv, with this girl and she's doing this martial art, and she says that most people think of it as dancing but I can never hear what the name of it is. It looks fun, and she says she burns a lot of calories, and since I'm looking for something I can do and won't get bored with and lose some MAJOR weight...I thought this would be something I can do. Does anyone have any idea of what I'm talking about?

Recently now, I've found that a few hours after I have eaten, I regurgitate a small piece of the food I have eaten, say a peanut, a piece of lettuce. I didn't use to happen, but now it happens almost after every mealtime. Does this happen to any of you guys also and is it normal?
