Health - 12 September 2006

I just quite tabacco chewing a few days ago, on the spot, cold turkey, after about five years. So far so good but now I seem to have a light headed/dizzy feeling. Is this normal and is it because of the lack of nicotine?

My mother is undergoing testing for Lupus.
She is very tired and has many other aliments that are causing her difficulty with her job. We are unsure of how to try to get disability for her and the doctors aren't much help. I know it is very complicated and I do not want to jeopardize her claim. Any info would be very helpful....Thank you.

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to be writing, but I have a question regarding the recent minor surgery I had to my foot.

Two weeks ago I had surgery on my big toe to repair a fracture. Unfortunately, at the end of the four-week recovery, I'm going to be in Brazil. I'm looking for an orthopaedic surgeon in Brazil (near Macaé, Río de Janiero) who can remove the two pins, which protrude from my toe. This is what my doctor recommended if I weren't able to be in his office at the end of the recovery period.

An alternative to finding a local orthopaedic surgeon is simply to remove the pins myself. It seems as though all that's needed is a pair of pliers and some sterile gauze and tape.

I'm leaning toward the latter, as it seems like a very simple procedure. Just make sure to keep it super clean and protected.

They're always looking to take a pill or a shake or are on this or that crash diet to help them lose the weight quickly. Why not just eat properly and excercise and lose it healthily over an extended period of time? This puzzles me.

By the way, I'm a big girl myself, so I'm not pointing fingers, just wondering.

Whose job is it to protect the interest of the children? We have three people, the husband, the wife and the sex worker. I have been heavily criticised for saying it is the job of the parents to ensure that the children grow up without being made HIV orphans. If a man who says he is married, refuses to wear a condom, I do not really care as long as he pays. Its up to him to worry about his children.

i grow hair on my neck, the left side, more than the right. its not a beard! just a small patch of thicker, darker hair. same goes for my "sideburns", and also, my shest. i know ur thinking this is odd, but its true. i feel so discusting all the time, even though I wax every two weeks. whenever i go to the salon i start crying becuase I think this is so weird. i went to my doc and he said its hormone imbalance.

Does anyone have and thing similar to this?? i have to say I am a beautiful person, in and out, and i have had my boyfriend for almost 5 years. im 20. he "says" it doesnt bother him, and he really doesnt seem to care much, but I do.

I have looked into electrolysis and all that but its soooo expensive!!! Anyways, i need some input on this, I feel like i am the only one.

I am having sharp pains in my left side right around my hip bone. They are not constant pains, just occasional. I have had them since Sunday though. I thought they would just go away, but they haven't. Does anyone know what could be causing the pains?

In the past I drank a little too much and now have completely given it up because I am afraid for my health. I recently was told that I have a fatty liver. I wonder what kinds of things I can do in addition to abstaining from alchohol and excercising more in order to make myself more healthy.

If you have reached, or gone through menopause, what happened exactly? Did your periods become more frequent and then just stop? Or what? Did you ever wonder if you were pregnant at 50? Pain? Crampiness? Please share. I need voices of experience!

I need someone to try and help me figure out what to do. I have been having this empty feeling for a while now, but in the last week it has gotten alot worse. I barely want to leave the house, and if i dont leave the house i feel like i am going crazy. I have been in a depressed mood and cant sleep at night but can during the day. My friends or family will ask me whats wrong but its not in a nice way its like they are irritated with me, and that hurts even more because it seems like no one really cares, there is alot more to this but that is the basic feeling i have...Does anyone have any suggestions or questions?
