On a scale of 1 to 10, tell how happy you are with your body. It seems most of the women I know over 30 are always looking at their stomachs and thinking their tummy, thighs, butt, arms or something is fat. Please give a number from 1 to 10 and then a comment if you want to.

How does a 40yr old newly diagnosed Type 2 diabetic control neuropathy when they already have Cerebral Palsy and a spinal injury caused by a wheelchair basketball accident? My uncle had Type 1 and ended up losing both legs in his 50's. I don't want that to happen to me. Doctors can't help me! All they do is shug and say they don't normally have to deal with my kind of situation! Any advice from any diabetic would be grateful as I have so many issues it's unbelievable. Despite my illness, I am positive and will do whatever it takes to protect my health. What kind of exercise can I still do, will my current non-diabetic medication cause contra-indications and.......blimey!!!!! So many questions!!!! HELLLPPPP!!!!!!!

Almost 2 months ago my friends son and I were traveling on bus to take him home. We couldn't sit together on the bus because it was full (it wouldn't have been if we'd been put on the right bus in the first place) but anyway, I sat as close as I could to him, which just happened to be next to a guy. This was very early in the morning, and every time I went to close my eyes he started to brush his hand on my thigh. Needless to say, I was a mess, I was angry, I was scared, I was shaken up. Then to top it all off, we couldn't get on the bus that was taking us to Dallas because it was full. The grey hound people were not helpful at all, and they made it seem like I was just stupid or something. I don't know if I have the right to feel assulted or if I really was just paranoid about the whole thing? Let me add, that I have very high standards and one of them is to wait until marriage to have sex, and that's part of why I felt like i did...am I wrong to still be angry about it?

why would a Dr. prescribe medicine for a person whom has just been diagnosed as having a concussion, medicine for this Patient to sleep ? I always thought when you had a concussion you were suppose to be kept awake pretty often to make sure your alert, familiar with your surroundings, and can answer normal questions if asked and other things to make sure the concussion is not getting worse . The Patient was having Headaches before finding out it was a concussion. I am puzzled as to WHY this Dr. would want the Patient to sleep alot . Can anyone help answer this ? Thank You in Advance .

I am scared of taking pills. My mother abused prescription pills, and being her daughter I do not want to follow in her footsteps. I am on heart pills, because of my thyroid, I guess, and then I am Clonsepam for anxiety. I feel like I am going nuts, I really do. I almost feel my daughter would be better off without me around, and I know this is not true. Ij have a new granddaughter, fisrt granddaughter, and a great daughter. I have everything to live for. Help me some how, maybe?

what's wrong with me? I have my best friend + her kids living with me (I'm a woman too). when her hubby came home from the hospital he was in a bad mood and they started to fight. It reminded me so much of my past that it made me mad. I told him he had to leave, but my friend could stay. I didn't think it was right for me or the kids to have to listen to them fight, in my home. I'm scared to death that once they find a place of their own,+ he's back with her, that she'll not want anything to do with me. I've lost so many best friends, + sometimes I wish I were dead because I seem to be so stupid when it comes to friends. She's more like a sister to me than a friend, but it seems I make her mad with every passing day. No matter what I do to try + have my friends like me, it's never enough,+ in the end they leave (she left, but came back bc her husband and kids wanted to) I'm so scared of losing ppl I care for that I tend to stick with them+ get as much friendship as I can

I know this is counter-intuitive to what's promoted by most diets- but I was wondering if they body would lose weight rapidly if given only water & sugar. No fat, no nutrients, only sugar. Think like Nerds, Gobstoppers, and Sprees for breakfast, lunch and dinner. (Not chocolate/caramel as it is high in fat.)

I'm not asking if it's healthy.

Correct me if I’m wrong but sugar is usually the culprit of weight gain because one of it's main functions is to convert calories into fat, but what if it were given no calories (that would be beneficial) to store? This is sort of the same concept as an iceberg lettuce diet, except sweeter. Any input dieticians/chemists/experts?

I'm usually a very happy person. I'm involved in school and I get excellent grades. However, ever since the end of Sophomore year, I've been having on and off periods where I feel really "empty." Junior year was okay, but now that I'm a Senior, I really feel.. nothing. I want to go back to Junior year, and I miss all my senior friends. Just like last year, during lunch time, I try to stay inside the classroom instead of going outside to talk to my friends. I keep thinking, "whats the point?" I also stoppedd talking to my best friend. Everytime he tries to talk to me by calling or something, I make up an excuse that I'm busy. When my friends invite me to go somewhere, more excuses. I mean, I'm not a person who does nothing, and I don't think I'm using depression as an excuse. I use to love doing work. I even do work that aren't do until next week. I still do that... but I'm not enthusiastic. People say senior year is suppose to be the best. I still havent seen it. is something wrong?

I am having surgery again on my knee and I just remember that the pain was the worst I have ever felt. SO bad that I would not wish it on a mortal enemy. HOW can I make sure my doctor gives me one for a couple days after my surgery?
