Health - 19 August 2006

I went for my six month check up today. This is a new dentist who has been practicing in my neighborhood for 33 years with his Dad.

He was very informative, giving me hygiene tips during the cleaning.

The enamel near my gumline is being worn away because I use a firm toothbrush! All these years, I thought they were teh good ones to use. He told me to use the soft or extra soft, because they won't erode the enamel and they are more pliable so they can get in the nooks and crannies.

Go figure!

Hiya~
Is it possible to change your metabolism level with exercise? (Not change it momentarily, but change it in a sustained way) In other words, with regular sustained exercise, aerobic or strength training, will your body become a better calorie burner?
Thanks~

He is now at a a hospital in a mental department. He got admitted yesterday. He's had a lot of problems in life...his kids don't tlak to him, his wife cheated on him (a couple years ago), he's lost his dog he had for 7 years, lost his house, could lose his truck. My mom and others want me to forgive him for almost hitting me and yelling at me, because he hadn't been taking his medicines and wasn't himself. I don't know if I want to do that. What would you do??

The doctor gave me Silver Sulfadaine for the burns on the outside of my face but didnt tell me how to treat my lips. They are very hard and cracking any time I move them (ie to eat) The swelling has gone down but they are still very red/black under the hard casing. Can I use chapstick to keep them softer while healing or is this bad?

I am a shy person, and I was thinking about going to someone to see if I have Social Anxiety. However, I do not know what kind of specialist to go to, and if I should even go. I do not have many of the symptoms of a social disorders, but I would really like to be rid of what symptoms I do have.

-When I talk to people I often run over my words or say something weird, usually toward peers and strangers more than people I know (but I do do it to people I know at times). While talking to them, I often worry about how I appear and act to them.

-When talking to a group I usually do not have that much of a problem, but I can at times have a shaky voice.

-Another thing I would like to fix is worrying. If I think I said something weird to someone I tend to worry about what they are thinking about me for days, a week at times.

Should I go to a specialist about this, even if it isn't Social Anxiety? And if so, who?
