I just had a complete hysterectomy and I do not want to take the premarin because of the possible side affects IE: Cancer
The only reason I am on it now is for the hot flashes which are unbearable without the premarin. My Doctor thinks the premarin is the best way to go for me. Any suggestions?

I want to say this:Women have it much worse than men when it comes to health concerns. We men don't know what menopause is,bloating or cramps.The way women are treated in some other countries apalls me.Women are just as equal as men.They have the mentality to fight men but they just dont.They can fight back.
We men don't know what labor is like.Well,my mother is against me becoming a male gynecologist or a OB/GYN Nurse Practitioner.I believe a body is a body.I have the utmost respect for females.Men who hit you girls are cowards.You NEVER hit a woman.A woman can hit a man or kick his ***, but likely he deserves it.What would you do if people were against a guy wanting to be a gynecologist?Ladies, I love you.Keep fighting for what you know is right,fight for your rights,equality!.

I have Rheumatoid Arthritis; most of the time I'm fine, but other days my wrists and ankles kill me. My MD wants me to try Methotrexate, but it can have so many bad side effects. Does anybody else think that different foods can affect RA? I stay thin, so weight doesn't seem to be an issue. Any homeopathic remedies?

My boyfriend is being charged with possession w/intent to sell drugs ( ecstacy, weed, crack) and also domestic violence. When he got arrested instead of going to county he was put into a mental hospital and was diagnosed as being bipolar and having chemical imbalance in his brain or what not. He stayed in the hospital for about a week and then they took him to county because by then he was more in a better conditioned to go to jail. He bailed out and has an upcoming court date...Would the judge take in consideration about his conditioned???

PLease help! I feel so socially detached from everyone. Even when I'm with friends I always feel like I'm an outsider looking in or just that I would rather be at home alone. I don't know whats wrong with me but I don't think I want to live the rest of my life feeling like I don't exist.

What should I do?

I passed one kidney stone already last Wednesday and I have another one and the pain is exhausting!!! I am going to a urologist tomorrow morning. They said it is a size 4mm. It is costing me time off of work. It is really starting to disrupt my life. I do have pain medicine from the emergency room. I just keep taking off of work. Any advice on this subject.

What was it like? How was recovery? How long to heal? Etc.
I have to have all 4 done next week. Plus one of them is so impacted and coming in all crooked it has actually caused one of my molars to become abscessed. WORST PAIN EVER. I am on antibiotics and pain killers. So yes, I am having a grand total of 5 teeth out - more than my son has in his mouth! I have always been religious about my dental hygeine because I hate going to the dentist. I am worrying myself into a frenzy over it.

I can't stand for 30 min. without them hurting, & certain jobs require that I stand 8 hrs. straight. I really want to work these types of jobs, but I can't because of my feet. Mainly the arch of my feet hurt, but other parts hurt & swell. How can I remedy this problem? Thanks.

I have chest pains and pains in the area around my chest. Sometimes I double over in pain from it. I haven't had bad pains in a while but I have a slight one now. Sometimes its on the right side and sometimes it's on the left side of my chest. Sometimes I have a sharp pain real quick and then it goes away. My cholesterol's good, I'm in good shape. I've had my heart checked out and the doctors say it's fine. The pains just won't completely go away. What do I do.

I am extremely sensitive to perfume (even the sligtest whiff makes me very sick, very quickly). I just bought this air purifier, and my father decided to test it while I was gone by spraying a bottle of perfume about 10 times in the living room to see if the air purifier worked.

Now the entire house absolutely reeks, as does the air purifier machine. Opening windows does not help. The tuff was sprayed oer 8 hour ago, and I need to find a way to get rid of the perfume because I have already thrown up 2 times in 30 min since I got home (sorry for the detail).

Remember, even the smallest whiff makes me very ill, and the smell is EVERYWHERE (it's all over the house, on everything). Do I have to move out? Please help. Thank you. God bless.
