My mom was diagnosed with stage IV at the age of 60 (she died over a week ago at the age of 64) and I was wondering if I should get a mammogram. I am in my early thirties, so I don't even know if my insurance will pay for it.

I'm 20 years old. Not overweight,5'3,130 pounds,about average. I've never had what I felt this morning. I woke my boyfriend up to go to work and I layed beside him on my left side with a pillow between my legs,and all of the sudden when I breathed in I felt a pain start from my lower right abdomen,then towards the end of my breath it travled up to my upper right abdomen. It repeated a couple of times,and I tried not to breath much because it was kinda painful. I got up and made his lunch,and it eventually went away,and I kind of feel like I have pain still,but its VERY dull,and it feels like its in my lower left side now,but I've never had that happen before. Almost like a bad cramp traveling up my right side abdomen,and also I don't know if its cause Im reading about gallstones,but I think I have a dull ache in my ride side shoulder blade,kinda in the middle of my back,more towards my right side shoulder. Sound like a gallstone or something else??

I am not sure of the lingering heath effects of having teeth pulled. If I had to replace my teeth being pulled I would probably simply get the root canals done. If I can live without my two upper molars I think I would just get them pulled.

My husband used to take an herbal supplement containing dandelion (he quit approximately two months ago). He is trying to get on a liver transplant list and keeps getting conflicting test results for marijuana. He's had two negatives and three positives. He is not ingesting marijuna, even secondhand.

Last night around midnight I got a massive stitch in my left shoulder. It felt like it was running from my heart down to my elbow on the left side. It is 8am now and the pain is JUST finally going away, meaning I got not sleep. When I bent down the pain would increase until it was hard to breath. I am suppose to be going on vacation for 3 days, leaving this afternoon, and even though the pain is gone, im Afraid it will return. Should I still go see a doctor just to make sure everything is all right? Its on the left side which scares me a tad, due to normally stitchs occur on the right. I am 16, female, average height, average weight. A tad bit out of shape, but I wasn't doing any physical activity when the stitch came.

Perhaps its lack of confidence. But I get quite nervous at work if I have to meet important bosses. I just want everything to go well.

But the only problem is that sometimes my nerves go beyond the butterfly stage and I end up feeling that I'm going to be sick. Does anyone else have this problem? If so, how do you get round it? Also how do you build up your self-confidence?

I've heard health guru's say that you should drink a certain amount of PURE water each day, but I'm curious why plain water is any different than the water in something like tea? Ok, hear me out here:

I drink 8 oz. of pure water, or
I drink 10 oz. of tea (2 oz. of tea/honey content and 8 oz. of water.)

So in the scenario above, how is the 8 oz. of pure water any different than the 8 oz. of water from the tea? Sure, my kidneys need to filter the tea out of the water, but all the same, am I still not benefiting just the same from that 8 oz. of water? After kidney filtering, is the 8 oz. of water from the tea any different than the 8 oz. of pure water?

This might be an obvious answer, so go easy, ok? I'm just curious...

Possible arthritic conditions in the knees as well as weak core muscles. How long and how often does the person need to do yoga therapy before the benefits will be visible. Also, is it necessary or alright to continue to consume health supplements or medicines.
