I'm a bit of a hypochondriac & fearful of STDs. I am on the pill, & we want to have unprotected sex.

It's not an issue with HIM, it's w/ anyone, I'm just afraid of catching something. I would feel this way w/ anyone, I felt this way w/ my other boyfriends also (although we didn't have unprotected sex).


I thought maybe if we get married, I would get over it, but we already live together & even then how do I know for sure he couldnt cheat 1x (which I could forgive, but not the STD!) & bring home something.

Again, it's not a trust issue, I trust him, but I just can't enjoy or relax thinking about this. He is understanding to a point but even after married I think I would be afraid to have unprotected sex, I'm just terrified of AIDS. Also I would feel guilty marching my b/f down to the clinic to be tested every 6 months (and even that is not 100% reliable) What can I do?

I've really been trying to lose weight and I eat about 1000 calories a day (lately its been more but I've been vacationing). I run Cross country as well but I just can't lose those last five pounds. I'm 14 and used to weigh like 140 so I've come a long way over the course of a year but I still feel fat and unnatractive and the only people that notice my weight loss are my close friends and relatives, not the people that I want to notice. So is 105 for a 5'2'' girl thin enough?

I do pretty well, and am avoiding high risk situations, but I still get cravings. Are there any medications that can help while I work the steps and find my sponsor?

I am 55 and have been under treatment for an erratic heartbeat since I was in my late 20's. However, the treatment I'm presently receiving - 320 mg. of Inderal per day plus 1.5 mg of Xanax - is only partially effective. I am wondering if there might be a more effective treatment available to me. The condition doesn't bother me much when I am resting or relaxed. Though it seems to be triggered mostly by my emotions, I have noticed that more and more it flares up under physical strain as well. I seriously doubt if I could endure a stress test simply because the fear of such a test would probably trigger an episode before they could even start it. I've never had any chest pains or any other symptoms of heart disease. I am also being treated for mildly high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol and an anxiety disorder. What bothers me most is the degree to which I am affected psychologically by all this. It puts a crimp in my lifestyle and keeps me from doing things that I might ......

I have been to 2 dr and no answers why my right foot swells and the skin before my toes looks wrinkled. The only answer they gave me was to take water pills and avoid salt. I understand that reasoning but why would it happen on only one foot?? One dr said it happens to women in their 30's....any ideas especially from woman in their 30's?

I am thinking about starting a jogging/running exercise program to lose a few pounds that I gained recently from stress. I have heard negatives and positives about running, especially for women. Can someone give me their running plans, experiences, etc.

I have seen advertisements for Ambien, Lunesta, and another one recently that starts with the letter "R"..(I don't remember the exact name), all of these commercials have the side effects at the end. One of the side effects is drowsiness. If it is a sleep medication then why would that be a "side-effect"? I would hope it is the "MAIN-EFFECT".

I'm close to getting prescription, normal, low-numbered glasses. I think I'm on the computer way too much, but I don't want to stop going on. And I used to dim my computers screen, when it was too bright, but with this new laptop I cant. So I thought why not wear sunglasss on the computer, so my eyes dont get ruined by the brightness of the computer. Is this smart? Will it improve or dis-improve my vision?
