Just wondering- breast cancer is effecting more and more women every day... could the electric cord hanging from outlet to the dryer (as we dry our hair each day) be causing the increase?
Can the constant exposure to these electric waves across this part of our bodies be the issue- has this been looked into? And if this has not been studied in detail- why not?
Thank you-
My mom is a survivor.

i am just on 1 week of taking zanix. I was told i have too much on my mind and it weakens the body and mainly the brain which controls everything. I had chest pains and my heart had a sharp pain thats when i was given this medication by my doctor to take. I just lost my dad and uncle 2 days apart but its only been 12 weeks,i have never been on any type of medication before,i am 34 yrs old, do you suggest i continue with it or do i only take it when i feel weird? it makes me drowsy so i cant take at work.

Thank you all for your answers they were all very helpful especially from freeandsimpl. As for stanitruk I'm not a loser and I do have a good life and a big family but when you're suddenly striken with a disease you become very vulnerabl and desparate and you will do anything to get back to your old self even for a day.

25 Million dead, 5.6 million of those children since the beginning of the epidemic. Millions more orphaned when their parents die. 10,000 a day die from this treatable, preventable disease. But it preys in poverty, neglect, drug abuse, hopelessness, and ignorance.

What can we do, what will YOU do to help overcome this epidemic that has become a plague like no other that is ravaging Africa, South America, India, China, Russia and yes, the United States.

We've overcome major diseases in the past, this disease is worse then all the rest, almost killed more then all the wars of the 20th century..... And yet? Every life matters! Just as if it was your own friend, mother, child that was suffering and dying.

Please consider the impact of this disease and what we can do to overcome it. Please post your solutions to this issue, learn what you can do to help and take action! Please do not wait for your government to do something, what can we do?

Thank you,
-Rob

Okay so I have bacterial vaginosis but cant afford the antibiotics that were perscribed, my bf has 7 amoxacillan pills, do you think they would work? I don't wanna waste my time or hurt my immune system if they won't help, I'll just save up for the others, but if they could work it would be a HUGE relief cause I am super duper low on cash.

ok, well i have HAD these when i was younger too, and i am not on medication, not on anything, and on top of that, i've been checked on these things long time ago, so i'm in the clear, but if i am psychic, i'll need to develope it more, but i don't want this interrupting my average life, because i'm living a great one, i'm good at school, just read my profile, and i don't want this to ruin my life!

Hi, about 3 months ago this wierd pimple/blackhead looking thing appeared on my arm, i guess on the front of my left shoulder. It was kinda wierd, because it had a black thing that seemed to be just under the skin. About a week ago it started pussing and bleeding a little when i touched it in the shower, which i figured was part of it being a pimple. Today however, i noticed a wierd little black lump thing poking out of it, so i squeezed the area a little and it poked out some more, and after i got out of the shower i grabbed the protusion with some tweezers and it slipped right out. The thing i pulled out is mostly black, and about the size and consistency of a pebble. The only thing it kind of reminds me of is a baby tooth, except its black and pointy on 1 end. the now gaping hole (1-2 mm in diameter) pussed a lot, but after like 15 minutes its pretty much stopped. what is this and what should i do? im thinking it might be some sort of bone fragment that rose and poked its way out.
