I have this friend who I've met over the weekend and while I was talking to him until 6 am in the morning, he kept on getting up to get another drink. I asked him if he was alone and he says he always drinks alone. I know this kid has some problems but I just wanted to know if drinking alone is a big deal. Help me help this kid!

I feel SO desperate to lose weight! I have NOT been heavy all my life, but after having kids and going through some big hormonal things I am 100 pounds overweight! I know what to do, but then when I come face to face with that birthday cake or cookies and milk, I'll think "I'm doing good, this is not going to derail me" Do you think eating better is more important than working out? I swear, I will exersice (damn good workouts, too!) 5 days in a week and STILL only loose 1 pound, or stay the same and yes, even be UP a pound!! I am losing my patience! I've tried to make myself throw up! I feel so desperate!

My three year old daughter bent down to pick up a toy off the ground of a large retail store at the mall...the seating had sharp unprotected edges and the corner jabbed her forehead. I thought it was just a bump but then blood started to gush everywhere and I looked and saw a piece of her skin stuck to the sharp corner of the "block" seating....she had to have dermabond stiches. Is this store liable for the injury?

I overheard a person saying that he had glaucoma and that that was a type of cancer in the eye. Is this true?

I have been taking water pills for almost a week. I have increased my fluids, but am still only urinating 2-3 times a day. (My usual) I am only taking them per the instructions (one capsule every 6 hours). Am I abnormal? I only lost 1 pound this week....and it is a bit discouraging. Any ideas? Thanks!
(I am also combining healthy eating & exercise for my weight loss efforts..btw. I am not relying soley on these to lose weight!)

My daughter has had a cold for almost a week now; head and chest congestion, runny nose, stuffy nose, etc. Now this morning, the cold has settled in her right eye. It is not pink eye! I am just curious before calling the doctor to see if anyone knows about toddlers and eye drops. Thanks.

Has anyone ever had Tonsillitis? Yesterday my Doctor said that I have it because I went in complaining about feeling somehting in the back of my throat. He put me on penicillin. Does anyone know how long it usually takes before the penicillin kicks in and my tonsills go back to normal? I hate this feeling of somehting in my throat.

I was given sulfa for a UTI and developed a rash 8 days after taking the antibiotic. I called the dr. and he told me to stop taking it and to take Benadryl. I was just wondering if anyone can give me an estimate as to how long it will take this rash to go away. It seems like it is getting worse instead of better at the moment. I stopped taking the antibiotic on Sunday morning when the rash first started and have a dinner party to go to this coming Sunday, do you think it will be gone by then?

I have this weird diarrhea-like stools. When I sit in the toilet I let out a lot of gas and when I push. The stools are very mucousy and I noticed yesterday some blood in the stools. I went to the doctor Friday because its been going on for so long. I had to bring stool samples and they gave me some pills just in case its bacteria-related. They also took out blood. The only problem is that I have to wait 2 weeks for my results which is a long time. I feel that I can get worse in that time (which I am. I am now passing blood... when I went to the doctor it was just mucous in the stool). Has anyone had this similar experience? I am drinking Gatorade because the dr. said I could be losing a lto of electrolytes. I have never gotten this before. I am 21 years old. Also, sometimes I soon as I eat I have to go other times I am fine. But then sometimes I'll go 10 times in one day! last nite after I went a few times I noticed the blood when I would wipe. Help!

This seems kinda embarrassing for me to say...But I don't know what is making me do this.
Sometimes when my BF and I make love, after I orgasm, I cry. And I try so hard for him not to see me....So far I have kept it under control that he hasn't noticed. But why would I start to CRY?? I don't get it....It's not normal....And it doesn't happen all the time, just once in awhile. I don't know if it's anxiety or something. I don't know why I do it....I feel like I'm crazy!! Does anyone know what is wrong with me? I feel embarrassed....

I know I will need to eat a bit more than the actual amount patients eat after that surgery, but if I follow that eating plan, would it be okay? I seriously seem to have this PROBLEM in my brain where I think it's not really gonna matter if I eat (Fill in the blank). I KNOW what I need to do to lose weight, yet I can't follow through with it. Every bite does count, doesn't it? It's really all in the calorie intake, itsn't it? I know exersice is important, and I walk and lift dumbells, but it's the eating where my problem is. And although I DO NOT eat ALOT, obviously it's the choices I'm making. Please help, just give me your thoughts, opinions, experience. . .I feel like I need some kind of advice I am missing and it's the missing link. . .

Im "addicted" to water. I drink up to a galon a day. I love the taste of it and its the only thing i ever drink. I dont drink anything else and i dont even like tea, just fresh cool water. I know its healthy to drink 8 - 10 classes of water but i drink litteraly up to a galon daily. Could this much water be bad for me? Once an old lady who saw me drinking a lot of water told me its bad for me and could stretch out the stomach just like eating a lot of food would, she also said its too much work for my bladder. is this true? could it be bad for me to drink this much water?
