such a weird thing here all my life I thought I just had dry skin on the back of my arms now I notice it on so many people, thinking I wonder if they know they have it, just happened to be searching and found it one day on the net, how do you cope with it, it can get really bad some days and practically disapear other days, I've used eucerin lotion, exfoliants, what else are my options besides perscribed and very expensive products online, oh yeah and tanning seems to help as well can i get some/any input?

For the past several days I have had a very intense and sharpish pain in my lower back on the left side. I've had it on and off for months, and it always seemed to be at it's worst when I was working. I quit my job several weeks ago, and after just a few days... the pain was gone. However, it suddenly came back a few days ago and I'm looking for some advice on how to treat the pain until I can get to the doctor in 4 days. Streching, medications and just plain lying down have done nothing to help. Any intelligent suggestions? Thanks so much.

Have you ever had problems with your heart racing/adding a beat while on "Synthroid" and did adjusting the dosage amount help? I've had a Cardiologist check me for any heart problems last year and they say everything is normal also my blood pressure is always "normal", but I've just started having extra heart beats (seems to be stronger after taking my Synthroid)... When I called my Thyroid doctors office, they just tell me to go to my Cardiologist. Why won't they just send me to get my blood drawn for my TSH level, which I'm strongly thinking it is. I'm sick of being sent from doctor to doctor and learning nothing new and paying out all this $$$. Why do doctors think we are made out of money?

Is there any Thyroid support groups that you know of?

Thanks in advance for any helpful advice...

Is it possible to go from having an average body to an extremely lean / muscular body?

For example, I'm 5 ft 116 pounds. I have a small frame. I look like a flabbier 116 pounds (a muscular person who weighs 116 would look a lot thinner), but I'm not big by any means.

My question is, can I go from having an average looking body to very lean / cut / muscular (not bulky)? And by very lean, I mean fitness competitor lean (not that I want to be one, just using that for an example)? Also, do genetics play a role? My father was a fitness competitor, but I take after my mother more.

What should I be eating / how should I work out? I'm pretty educated when it comes to dieting (cardio, weight training, protein / carbs/ fat, etc.), but I don't know specifics.

My car has been giving me problems lately. I admittedly have some anger issues I need to work on, but last evening, it stalled on my again. I got out and had this HUGE burst of adrenalin. I lifted up the back end of my car. I'm not a small guy but not huge either. I don't do roids. My car is a Chevy Nova. I tried again this morning to lift it and can't budge it. Has this, or anything like this happened to anyone else out there?

Everyone says that if you go outside w/o a hat/jacket/scarf or with wet hair, you'll get sick. I don't understand this logic, how does cold air make someone sick?

I have a prescription that has never been filled. Will my pharmacist still honor is or has it expired even though there are no exp. dates written on the paper itself? Is it worth my effort to drive down there and find out?

Okay so I made it to the 6th day of zoloft at 25mg. Im still feeling very tired and I feel like Im on a roller coaster. Sometimes I feel stable, sometimes numb, and sometimes depressed and anxious. In a few days they want me to take 50mg . . .if my side effects are like this won't they worsen? I just want to feel semi normal again. Any advice or support would be great.

"I'm not pregnant - I guess I should have worded my question differently. If a man cums inside of a woman repeatedly (let's say 3X a week) can that cause her stomach to hurt? Sometimes feelings of nausea or upset stomach occurs. Has any other woman felt this way? Can depositing *** inside of you all the time be harmful to a woman's body?

I think homeopathy does no harm and some people swear by it, but there is no evidence that it works. With all the controversy surrounding drug rationing for cancer drugs etc. Do you think homeopathic remedies should be funded by the tax payers money?
