With wrestling season right around the corner, I'm already at the weight I want to be at (145). In New Jersey there is a new rule stating that if one's bodyfat percentage is under 5% at the begining of the season, one cannot be forced to cut. I already run cross country and do cardio. I'm around 8% right now. How do I cut this extra 3% (sorry for this being so wordy)?

I work with this woman daily on company accounts for two years.

When I got the job, I was warned that she is “difficult” and that the position is hard to fill because no one wants to work with her.

She snaps at everyone, hangs up on people, slams doors and phones and complains all of the time.

I have to walk on eggshells when I am around her, I never know what might “set her off.”

I don’t know if its menopause, but I think she might have a mental disorder, like bi-polar.

She has really wild mood swings and takes no medication.

She gets annoyed and irritated at everyone and everything.

I knock on her door before I go in so she doesn’t get mad, and she writes me this email about how when I knock on the door it drives her crazy and I need to stop immediately.

I can never predict what will make her mad, I try to watch my every move, but somehow she is always crazy mad about something.

How do I deal with her?

In the past 3 weeks I've had 8 coldsores. I've tryed everything from l-lysine to perscription ointments and nothing seems to work. Every time I think its about to clear up then another one starts. I've had coldsores my whole life, but usually I'll get maybe 4-5 a year. Why am I getting so many all at once?

I used to work in a busy, county hospital. If we had three severe trauma victims in one 8 hour shift along with all the less severe emergency situations, it was very, very busy and stressful. I can't imagine who would choose to work in a hospital in Iraq with the kind of numbers of wounded on a daily basis - not to mention the danger & risk that continually looms around them. Who are these Doctors and Nurses and how can the hospitals accomodate so many patients?

Yesterday I wore a pair of sterling silver earrings. I took them out when I got home from work and noticed my left ear was a little red and swollen on the ear lobe. Today it is still very swollen and is even tender and swollen behind my ear on my neck. Any suggestions?

I have a pretty good life, but I often find myself feeling unhappy and unfulfilled. Sometimes I get depressed for no apparent reason and feel that life is not really worth living (don't get me wrong, I would never commit suicide). I just always feel that life is such a burden. How do I get to living a life that I am happy with? Is there any way for me to change my outlook on life?

A month ago the side of my right knee went numb after a weekend long backpacking trip. A month later it wasn't better, so I went to the doctor. She said it could take up to 2 months to clear up and not to worry unless it got worse or changed somehow. Well a week later, my foot is starting to have the feeling that it is going numb. It is actually from the very bottom of my calf muscle all the way to my foot. I have an appointment with the doctor on tuesday of next week... just a few days away, but I am wondering if I should not push to be seen by the doctor tomorrow morning. It is not normal for apendages to go numb!

All responsibilities on me and have done well to go ahead so far in life. Have been a super star during high school days and when working . But know with bankruptcy and hardly any money to live, friends n relatives have turned back on us. Feel miserable in life . Mom's litlle taunts and nags upset me way too much/ I'm trying to do my best in Life but cannot get over teh traumatic past.

Nobody visits us since we live far away and i have kinda lived in reclusion. No Girl friends also allowed by mother and i feel i wanta relationship but i aint ready for it ( coz of my poor financial conditions).

Doctor thinks I have gout. Awaiting blood tests. With medication do you still have to modify your diet? Do you still get attacks after taking meds? What has your experience been with gout?

Okay, I have a boyfriend who I love more then any thing in this world. When we first started hanging out and getting to know each other, but we were not 'official' just hanging out like friends. Any ways, I ended up sleeping with his best friend. Should we tell him. We think it will ruin my relationship and his friends relationship too.
His friend and I have decided to keep it a secret, since we are both in loving relationships now.Please help....I can't seem to get this guilt out of my head.
